Not sure they're that comparable? Khan is on the soft left and fairly well established within the party leadership. Mamdani seen as more of an outsider and an outright socialist, something which is far more demonised in the U.S. so I'd say it's a significant victory.

Correct, seen various comments on here saying why don't Starmer/Reeves just reverse it and rejoin, like the EU can't see Farage waiting in the wings and just instantly want to reopen negotiations with us.

Does anyone know if any UK government has had a worse approval rating than this?

The Dear Hunter

He's right though. Him and Lewis Goodall have both criticised Starmer for this.

How likely do you think it is that the Lib Dems will become official opposition next time?

Sorry what does he mean by 'republican front '? Cheers.

Reform recently won a load of councils and is currently around 30% in the polls. Your Party has imploded before they've even officially launched.

More so than Your Party are, yes.

Genuine question: why are the left so bad at organising themselves whereas the right seem to have got their act together?

Northern Powerhouse 💪💪

When was the last time a politician had a net positive score?

There's no obvious successor though which is why I think he's safe for now.

Yes definitely. But I'm still hoping the penny will eventually drop...

Relies on Labour gaining back progressive voters and the Tories returning to appealing to Lib Dem sympathetic middle England. Not an impossible possibility but not looking hugely likely right now.

It's wild how much that show got right

Not sure it would be a great look though.

Have you showed this to Keir, Stella?

We're still 4 years off the next election, Labour has plenty of time to turn things around.

I can confirm this.

Oh yeah I'd spoil my ballot paper over voting for Farage's latest con...

I'll probably still end up voting for them as I don't think there's a better alternative but I couldn't in good conscience campaign for this daily farce.

I quit my membership months ago and it felt like a weight had been lifted.

Morgan McSweeney is ensuring Labour loses the next GE.

And yet Starmer and the government failed to see it coming. They can't be this politically naive surely?

I mean, he's a smart bloke so I'd assume he'd have a least some alarm bells ringing when he decided to share an image comparing Zionism to rats. I know I would have.

And you know they'd claim the opposite. Don't know what it is about right wing journalists always moaning about being silenced.

I've heard the PM, Wes Streeting and Luke Pollard all say that they think it will be Labour v Reform next time, I'm guessing this is the new line to take for some reason?

Who are they voting for now? Lib Dem presumably

Breaking Bad for me, I definitely agree with you on Heaven Sent: a masterpiece.
