Jo Swinson of the Lib Dems said this early on - far too early - she got absolutely spanked at the GE that year and had to resign

Same as ‘Lot of people are saying’, ‘Nobody knows’ and ‘Everybody tells me’ which usually prefaces a lie

I like this new gloves-off O’Brien.

The best description of Gullis is actually attributed to someone else : ‘a depression-era hobo clown’. Masterful 👏

By midday tomorrow Alison Pearson and Liz Truss will have somehow turned this achievement into a betrayal, by teatime the RW press will be howling about yet another Labour failure, and by the 10 o’clock news it’ll be Sadiq Khan’s fault

You have enough complaining in you for the two of us; I am more sanguine about it, 9 years later. I am actually very encouraged by Starmer’s stance. It is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s amazing you can’t see that.

Starmer is proceeding with the same Ming vase process that won him the election, that’s all. No point complaining about it

True. But there are probably a lot more people than we think who quietly feel we made a decision and we should respect democracy. That’s the demographic he’s worried about
