If he is still there in May 26, Labour will take a kicking in the local elections. Can't see him lasting longer than that. Then they'll need someone who can oppose and beat Farage and encourage partnership with left leaning parties, so not Streeting either

Millie Bobbie Brown (for example) is 21, playing someone who is about 16. It's not a huge stretch. Compare it to the actors in say, Sex Education, Derry Girls etc

And what? They've now banded together to try and form a new party. I don't imagine anyone who voted for them minds at all. Danny Kruger defected to Reform recently too if that's the thing that bothers you (I know it's not really)

She's been an MP for as long as 2 of the other MPs on there. She is also the joint leader of a party with 6 MPs. More than either Reform or the Greens.

I don't like Lammy specially, but he's a Harvard graduate, a qualified Solicitor, an MP for 25 years, held 5 junior cabinet positions, plus significant shadow positions before his positions in this government. He seems at the very least, qualified and experienced.

Newsom strikes me as very effective communicator who isnt actually massively progressive. Is that the case? Might he tack more left?

Appreciate the insight. Would be astounded if Tucker or DonJr got the nod, but I should probably stop thinking crazy things won't happen
