Sorry, I guess that's what you're referring to with your coalition wage comment, of course!

Impact of the global crisis, or more precisely impact of the global crisis compounded by the policy response to it (nature of UK's austerity was a bit of a western outlier, wasn't it?). My worry is that's what gets lost a bit in these otherwise telling graphs.

When that happened to me it was because my password had become compromised and someone was listening via the web browser (In Poland I think.) change of password fixed it.

Maybe. But that someone is very popular with the membership. Be a lot (more?) resentment if he’s blocked?

I think he’d lose too, but I suspect he’d be the most ‘popular’ with the wider electorate compared to anyone else on that list. That’s why I think Burnham needs to be in contention.

Burnham has got to be in the mix somehow. Hope he has a plan. Because that list is mainly an election losing one. I don’t care how warm and fuzzy candidates make Labour members feel (I’m one) . It needs to be someone who can tell a story to the country and have a broad appeal.

Leadership candidates won't go as far as EU accession, but SM and CU ? I think they will have to. One first, then the others. Arms race. It's also how a candidate seen as currently close to the leadership will seek to distance themselves from the current jumbled, unambitious EU policy/stance.

Did you hear that quote recently about Starmer from an ex-Treasury official ? Something along the lines of ‘he’s the only PM who thinks his politics is a personal matter’ …

What's crazy is it feels like you could count on your fingers and toes the number of people in the party that think that way too. How did we get to this?

This is very well put , but I also wonder if some of the blame is down to those of us who saw the potential for obvious reasons and overlooked the clear deficiencies. To be fair that Leadership election of early 2020 wasn't exactly one overflowing with ability.

There is only one ending now. No chance of improvement, internally or externally. How you go from a majority of 160 plus to this is mind boggling.

Sure, although isn’t there an opportunity for a holier-than-thou moment for the govt? ‘This board has failed, shouldn’t be a focus for partisanship. Start again’ . Likewise no idea on mechanisms, but might be wise to nix accusations of partial and partisan culling if poss?
