The way Chris pincher has been basically been erased from boris downfall is really instructive in Westminster culture and how these people get away with it
I see we're back to "Johnson resigned because of a party" and not because he employed a known sex pest, lied about what he knew, and more than half his cabinet resigned as a result.

This! Labour’s leadership is being talked about as if it’s some kind of poisoned chalice.
In reality it’s a chance to take over the first term of a government with a huge majority. It’s the political opportunity of a lifetime.
In reality it’s a chance to take over the first term of a government with a huge majority. It’s the political opportunity of a lifetime.
Yet this is a government with three years left to run and an enormous Commons majority. For all the problems, there is an enormous opportunity there for someone with the political nous to take it and use it.
Starmer's reported condition - incredibly unpopular, shorn of authority, probably un-reelectable and yet will stagger on for want of an alternative - is just the new normal of how Britain is governed. It was also true for two-thirds of May's premiership, half of Johnson's and all of Sunak's.

It is genuinely insane/deeply disingenuous to be calling for the PM’s resignation while red-carpeting Farage into No10. If you’re serious about calling out abuses of power and the undermining of democracy through political corruption, you investigate and expose all of this 👇 too.
![As he reports: "Across the recently released messages and emails, [Epstein] treats Britain's vote to leave the European Union in June 2016 as both a political realignment and a trading opportunity - something to be shorted financially and leveraged geopolitically.
As he writes to Peter Thiel about the chaos caused by the referendum, 'Brexit is just the beginning.'"
Interestingly Bannon also told Epstein that he was planning to meet Farage as part of his bid to topple Theresa May, in order to secure the Europe destabilising Brexit both men were so keen to secure.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreiaai57rbfuryvksu3ussayqpp4dnd7say73yv7rwren227zvzd46q@jpeg)
