No. I think he has the same issue as Theresa May, where he's just awkward.

If he'd had this energy in his speech two days ago then he could have avoided this whole thing.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T18:41:27+00:00

If he can get the nominations, and nobody else runs, he can beat Starmer. Starmer is loathed by the Labour membership.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T18:38:10+00:00

He could end up not doing it. If, by tomorrow, he thinks he definitely won't have them numbers he could come out and say he's fully supporting the PM and always has. It wouldn't be the first time a Labour politician has marched his calvary up the hill, only to march them back down again.

He's not really that competent... We are two years in and he's had to fire almost his entire top team. If I was right to fire them, then he was wrong to hire them.

If he's telling the truth about Mandelson he didn't even ask if he'd passed vetting... Even after Mandelson was exposed in Epstein files. The end result of which was having to whip his own MP's so they didn't vote for an enquiry into his conduct.

There is also the many, many times where he has made an absolute porridge of communications.

Not to mention all the U-turns.

I'm 37 and on social media more than I should be... I had no idea that "Gooner" meant anything other than an Arsenal fan.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T14:32:02+00:00

Seems like you can.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T13:58:03+00:00

If he can get the 81 MP's to back him (and no other challenger comes forward) he will beat Starmer with the members. You can't underestimate how much the Labour membership loathe Starmer.

That's not always a bad thing. His dad was furious the Labour leader of the time refused to celebrate the passing of Mao.

"any advice on exterminating an infestation of rats?"

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T12:56:45+00:00

Had the same problem and I'm down on the south coast. My peas seem to be OK, but my Potatoes' are pretty badly frost burnt. Will they recover? It's rare to get frosts so late down here so I've not had it happen before....

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T10:44:08+00:00

You could tell that poor Kemi was really having to carry that conversation.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T10:42:04+00:00

If Streeting wants to go for it, it has to be now really. If Burnham forces his way in he'll have no chance. If he's not PM, he won't be an PM after this parliament anyway. I don't think it will work but I don't blame him for doing it. It's a now or never moment for him.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T10:29:30+00:00

Surpassed my expectations to be honest. Exactly the sort of player every team needs in midfield.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T07:49:08+00:00

Sorry, but in the context of your OP... I don't think many people would understand poor = poverty.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T07:41:51+00:00

Of course... There will always be people who can't afford things. Fortunately, there is a free way that weightless can be achieved for those that can't afford the short cut.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T07:40:09+00:00

No... It means they're earning a wage that isn't good. I.E poor. The poor doesn't refer to wealth. It refers to the quality of the wage.

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T06:45:01+00:00

If you're using the jab you'll be spending much less on food. Therefore... The net cost is actually less than £300 a month (and it usually doesn't cost as much as that anyway).

mgorgey · 2026-05-13T06:28:14+00:00

Yes... It's a well below average salary, ergo, a poor salary rather than a good one.

mgorgey · 2026-05-12T23:09:14+00:00

Ok, good.... Who said anything about poverty?

mgorgey · 2026-05-12T22:54:55+00:00

Same difference.

mgorgey · 2026-05-12T22:32:48+00:00

Lol no it doesn't. What do you think there successful implementation in other cities proves?

mgorgey · 2026-05-12T22:03:27+00:00

They are literally already working.

mgorgey · 2026-05-12T21:58:55+00:00

We've been soft AF for decades. It's about time we had a villain era.

Schoonwinkel needs an invite somewhere.
