Seeing as he is very much a family man, he is worried about the impact of campaigning and pressures of the next GE will have on his family.

Personally, i don't think he will quit, but never say never!

I can hear the barrel being scraped. How is that what you took from that article?

TBF, Labour could put a dead donkey in charge and still win by a huge majority.

The age of the charlatan shysters is coming to an end.

Hopefully.

“ Sir Keir Starmer admits he worries about the toll of a general election year on his two teenage children.”


Any father probably would in his position and rightly so, and is concerned about putting politics first.

True, but hopefully not a landslide as that is equally bad for politicians behaviour. A healthy majority for sure, but any governing party should not have absolute power. See how New Labour squandered a mandate in many areas in the 1st two terms.

Should they win, they will engineer a vote of no-confidence and Ange will move into power and the looney-tunes richard burgon et al will be back on the front benches.

I don’t for a second believe the reds won’t stuff their snouts into the trough as fast as possible.

I just hope the public have seen enough to make think a little harder about responsibilities.

I agree. Needs to be a big enough majority though to allow some extremely difficult decisions to be taken and enacted in Parliament to begin to sort out broken Britain. It’s going to be a colossal task after the last 13 or so years.

I think 80-100 seats is a reasonable majority. Needs to be big enough to get tough legislation through but small enough to challenge if all of the opposition + some back benchers revolt.

Aspire party might hold the balance of power?
