Whilst Starmers behaviour if true certainly isn't acceptable. I'm not sure you can make use of it to justify the one incident (so far) against the multiple instances that have occured with and around Boris.
It's akin to saying that one person who is caught driving at 75mph on a deserted motorway in the middle of the night has the same level of culpability as an individual caught ten times speeding at 90mph through a 30mph zone.

Not talking about this current surge of polling for Labour, which will drop at some point, either but for a long time now Labour have been outperforming their polling in the seats lost in 2019 so Bury South would have been one of the top targets.
In fact just looked it up. It would be 3rd on their list: http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/bat...targets/labour
So if you take the national swing only then Labour would (in theory) capture Bury South with a 3 seat gain.

Yes I see that, but would people actually vote for someone who, possibly, would turn again if he got upset by something Labour did . . . and Labour doesn't have a clean track record when it comes to infighting does it, so he may well be off again at some time

Main thing to watch is its short-term impact in Westminster.

Indeed, just someone that likes his 80K + expenses salary and wants to keep it. He'd probably swap to the SNP too if they looked like winning the seat.

Apologies, I didn’t realise there was a time limit on relevant facts…
I’ll bear that in mind the next time anyone brings up the last time the Labour Party were in power…

Yes, he did say that, but he said it because people keep alleging that he was warned it was illegal. Come on, Andrew, join the dots!

He’s a one-trick pony. His constituents are furious with him.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
He’s got a long way to go, OB I’d not count your chickens just yet.
His decision to be Steve Baker’s useful idiot today will likely only buy him time not survival. Especially if the electorate see through it for what it is.
