We don’t see him lose and he get loads of money so basically he wins. 

Whilst I agree from the wider perspective, I think this is still defeat for him. An almost inevitable part of being a main party politician

Out of interest is there any financial advantage of standing and losing, as opposed to giving up now?

I dont know why the tax reason is always used? You pay tax at any age, the only difference is its very difficult to pass the personal allowance whilst in full time education. 12 year old Daniel Radcliffe would of paid tax.

Anyway, when we going to see manifestos? Apparently Labour's isn't ready, and Tory's might be more radical.. nothing to lose etc

yeah, they have to go radical...wouldn't be surprised if there's something big on getting rid of NI or leaving ECHR if polls don't narrow, try and make Labour look like the boring no change party.

[steviewevie]

But you never know, might be the thing that stops a tory wipeout. Some people will like it, the sort of people who the Tories have lost to Reform/Labour/Don't Know in polls recently.

Rachel Reeves says no return to austerity and no increases in income tax or national insurance under Labour.

Look forward to their spending review.
