Probably not, but the tide has turned anyway. Labour have someone who is electable. That's all they needed.
What talent the Tories did have, they've discarded as they don't subscribe to the holy of holy's. Beyond the main policy of getting 'it' done they have nothing except accumulating wealth for themselves (and 'it' has also turned out to be a disaster, surprise, surprise...). |

In regards to the question, probably not - I don’t think he wants to be - but I have no idea who will replace him atm. I think we’ll see some manoeuvring in the spring.

They're kidding themselves if they think a change of leader is going to make much difference.
What were the Tory strengths? the Economy? Record debt with inflation at over 5%, and wages way behind that. Folks are going to get poorer and they don't like that. Immigration? Record numbers coming over the channel.. The NHS? Tbf they never pretended to give a toss about that. |

Getting MPs to back Paterson a particular low that got almost universal condemnation here both for being corrupt or (at minimum) stupid idea that would so obviously play badly it calls into question political judgement. As Pierre and yourself note he can’t really be arsed with the job anyway. Deliver Brexit and ride off into the sunset a hero is now bogged down in mundane and trivial matters like actually governing. A book deal, a newspaper column. Back to the days of being able to afford his own wallpaper. The problem with all Tory scheming is the people who want the top job want to keep their hands clean. |

Labour have done nothing to earn their « current « rise in the polls, if and when the Tories get their house back in order Labour will have to something other than just supporting the government COVID restrictions. Contrary to what YouGov polls might say I don’t think there is much appetite for COVID passports and tighter restrictions….and that’s all Labour offer. If they were really fighting for government they were a long long way back in this election |

In this by by-election, Labour was content to take a back seat and let the Liberal Democrats take the seat. People voted tactically to send a message to Johnson. It will be interesting to see if they can hold it an he listens. Based on previous situations, the latter is a big ask. |

The biggest problem for the Tories will be inflation, rising interest rates, the rising cost of living and COVID having pushed the NHS to breaking point which will be noticed in years to come in delayed appointments. It won't be easy for the Tories to 'get their house in order' after all not breaking your own COVID laws to hold a Christmas Party should be the easy part for them. ---------- Post added at 09:41 ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 ---------- Quote:
