Ethically Corrosive

In 2015, Keir Starmer nominated Andy Burnham for Leader of the Labour Party. But today, Burnham says that Labour never gave him any help in a mayoral election, meaning that he must have won all on his own three times, including in every ward but one of Greater Manchester last time, when he took 63.4 per cent of the vote.

The Police have laughed out Matt Goodwin, but Reform UK has said that it would sue Kemi Badenoch if, by four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, she had not apologised to Suella Braverman, whose hen night Badenoch organised in 2018. Was Jacob Rees-Mogg the stripper?

To want to be Leader of the Opposition is in principle to want to be Prime Minister, to want to be Prime Minister is to think that you should be Prime Minister, and to think that you should be Prime Minister is to be more than a little bit funny in the head.

  1. Farage keeps taking in people who've already failed to become PM.

    1. Braverman and Zahawi directly. And Braverman is still an MP.
