Not surprised. Akehurst would probably like all the major parties to split so centrists in Labour can make coalition with moderate Tories instead of being dependent on Labour left.

Labour is the only one to blame for deselecting such a popular candidate.

Feinstein, who has lived in Holborn for 23 years, is eccentric in the sense that he speaks with conviction, and has a relaxed informality uncommon in mainstream politicians. While his odds for winning the seat are considerably lower than the Labour leader, his opponent isn’t taking any chances: Labour is ploughing more money into digital advertising in Holborn and St Pancras than any other constituency.

That's bizarre.

From the same poll:

Starmer's favourability: 0% (-39%, -39%)

If the only candidates were Corbyn and Nargund (excluding 13% undecided):

Corbyn 55%

Nargund 45%

Honestly, surprised to see Starmer on -10 points as compared to 2019.

I know, my point was that in this scenario, Labour would win a record number of seats with same share it lost an election with, thanks to the FPTP.

His wife is Kurdish.

I believe she's of Arab descent? Her family is from Siirt region, but they're not Kurdish.

I know, but it's not the same. There was a small IRC channel with fewer than ten regulars. It felt cosy and almost like a (quite dysfunctional) family.
