Quite possibly, but IMO Labour are screwed whoever ends up as PM after this episode.

If Reform get in we're all screwed.

I'm not sure how we overcome this level of incivility and downright weaponised hatred. (David Blunkett, in the Financial Times.) It's hard enough to find the best least-worst solutions in troubled times as it is, but it's impossible if this is how political differences manifest themselves.

If Streeting is part of a leadership contest, it'll be interesting to hear others' responses to his pitch, including his clear view that overcautiousness on making the case for the EU and the calamity of Brexit needs addressing.

Yeah, it looks like Burnham is tempering his public enthusiasm for rejoining.

He did tell me he's fully conversant with the utility of the Laffer curve.

He's a personal friend of yours then? - kinda figures

Surely you can't argue with this one @Stevo 666?

Maybe you explain to me why you think its a good idea/what the benefits are. Some cost estimates might be useful to include.

You think more so than Labour party staying in power and led by (say) Burnham?
