Nah....he's biding his time and playing along. He's very bright, and will be very cute politically (can't get on at Goldman Sachs as he did without being both). He's very fiercely ambitious - I think he's just waiting for his moment (ie which BJ balls-up to use to stick the knife in). He's not...

The economy will dominate the next GE completely because of the mess we're now in.................headway in terms of recovery and lots of positive signs and the Tories will walk it. Anything else and could be closer than would normally be expected after one term with such a large majority I...

Actually, the 2m rule is guesswork and not supported by anything scientific.

He won’t make as much as the Blairs have though..............all that cosying up to the Middle Eastern money has been VERY lucrative

He's playing well within himself - picking off easy targets at the moment.

The arguments will be interesting - seeing how they try to extract the Brexit and Covid impacts........I suspect the latter will be the excuse for literally everything bad for the next 5 years.

All may have an impact, but the state of the economy will probably over-ride all of them. If we're in some form of visible, steady, long term recovery and things have improved quite significantly by the time of the GE, Labour won't have a hope in hell because the whole narrative will be about...

..............and without the colossal increase in salary that normally goes with such a promotion. He'll be getting far less now than when he was doing HIGNFY occasionally and writing columns in the Telegraph.

I think he is being cut quite a bit of slack (if you ignore most of the press squealing which has become white noise now it's so repetitive). He doesn't have Starmer properly going after him yet and his own party aren't going to do so either. This will happen after we emerge from the pandemic...

When I did jury service, the CPS Barrister - who I think was fairly new - completely and utterly dismantled the defendant, his witnesses and his barrister over the course of the two weeks. It was fascinating, and mightily impressive, to watch him deconstruct the defence piece by piece - often...

Item no 1 in the 'Get Starmer' Tory planning folder already then.......:shrug:

Still early days though isn't it..........Starmer has only had a couple of goes at Boris in PMQs, and whilst direct he's actually being far more gentle than he could be (I think he recognises the mood of the nation at the moment and isn't adopting full-on 'barrister attack mode' yet as now is...

Very much this...........all you need to look good against BJ atm is to have a couple of (prepared) forensic questions, stay calm, and keep going back to the question when he (inevitably) fails to answer it. Any decent sixth form debating society member could cut through the...

Hunt in charge during a pandemic with his reputation in the NHS :eek::mad::mad: I find the whole political landscape so ****ing depressing - the GE choice between BJ and JC was just awful, and BJ had no real competition within his own party..........however, impressed with Starmer so far and...
