I can only assume the Tories don't want it. Their candidates are absolutely abysmal. They only put Boris up because Cameron and Osborne wanted him out of their hair.

So I guess Londoners will be smelling Khan's farts for another X number of years and James O'Brien on LBC will have at least one more 'politician' to interview on his show. I have no dog in the race other than the fact whatever happens in 'that' London might eventually happen in my city.I can only assume the Tories don't want it. Their candidates are absolutely abysmal.

I am one of those people that really likes Andy Burnham. He is way more charismatic the Starmer. I'd rather he was in charge than Starmer tbh but I'll take Starmer given the other options.So I guess Londoners will be smelling Khan's farts for another X number of years and James O'Brien on LBC will have at least one more 'politician' to interview on his show.

PS. I heard a poll today regarding Britain's most popular politician, guess who it was <drum roll please> .... Andy Burnham. Discuss.
Andy Burnham has excellent eyelashes.I am one of those people that really likes Andy Burnham. He is way more charismatic the Starmer. I'd rather he was in charge than Starmer tbh but I'll take Starmer given the other options.
As for the Mayor of London it doesn't effect me either, so, good luck London
Eyebrows? Out of 10?Andy Burnham has excellent eyelashes.
His eyebrows are an 8 but his eyelashes are 10/10 - so thick and fluttery.Eyebrows? Out of 10?
When Starmer got the job I thought he was keeping it warm until Burnham was back in parliament as I thought there was no way that Labour would beat Johnson for at least a parliament, but then I forgot that Johnson was an utter fuckwit who soon showed his limitations.I am one of those people that really likes Andy Burnham.

I thought exactly the same and I got the impression Burnham was on manoeuvres to make a return and take on Boris. However, as you say, Boris is such a twat and his predecessors so unbelievably useless that they have made it so easy for Starmer to take this massive lead without actually doing anything. Burnham seems to have gone with it and retreated for the moment but I suspect he will be back at some stage.When Starmer got the job I thought he was keeping it warm until Burnham was back in parliament as I thought there was no way that Labour would beat Johnson for at least a parliament, but then I forgot that Johnson was an utter fuckwit who soon showed his limitations.
No chance of that. He's firmly given them the shove from any influence, that's why all the Magic Grandpa cultists are crying to anyone who'll listen on twitter that Starmer's some sort of Tory and telling them to vote green or that twat Galloway's latest vehicle.I think he's a decent man but my worry is that if Labour get in with a massive majority the 'looney left' (I'm 50 years old) will strangle the party and I'm not sure Keir has the nuts to put them down.
KK. I take you at your word. That twat 'Jess' Phillips puts me right off Labour I have to confess. But yes, all political parties have members you don't like. I can deal with Jess if I have to.No chance of that.

I have just read the article and it doesn’t sound like he has suddenly found a conscious. The decline of the NHS has been going on for years and it sounds like it has gradually worn him down too. Personally I have a great deal of respect for people who can change their minds in face of the evidence and doubt if he just woke up one morning and decided he would be better off jumping ship. He is not standing as an MP again and is planning to work in helping to restore the NHS. A good thing surely?They cannot come from any NATO alliance military. Look up NATO, the West is currently performing a subtle political and diplomatic dance, as long as NATO forces stay out of Ukraine, Putin will not engage the rest of the west. Seriously read up on NATO. For reference the First World War was started because of an alliance treaty like NATO. The stakes are much higher now due to nuclear proliferation.
On another subject, anyone else see this yesterday?
I am resigning from the Tory party and joining Labour: only it wants to restore our NHS | Dan Poulter
As an MP and psychiatrist, I see the burden that a service near breaking point takes on patients, their families and healthcare colleagues, writes Dan Poulterwww.theguardian.com
Apparently this muppet thought Cameron was a good Prime Minister and he was happy to standby by austerity, but now just before he and the majority of Tory MPs lose their seats he has suddenly developed a conscience and decided to cross the floor to Labour. Fucking opportunistic twat, wasn’t bothered about the state of the NHS before, but now he can’t look his colleagues in the eye. This is why so many people hate the Tories.
However the war ends, I can’t see Putin accepting Ukraine joining NATO. He is paranoid enough about NATO getting nearer and nearer. If terms are to be agreed at some point whilst he might accept Ukraine neutrality I can’t see him allowing them to join NATO.It’s setting the stage for Ukraine joining NATO after the cessation of the war. That’s the “conditions to be met”, it also says about creating a NATO-Ukraine council. So no they aren’t letting Ukraine in until then. This article is last year, how much progress has been made with the contents of the article? The military aid packages are the only action currently ongoing, other than Sweden now being a member of NATO everything else hasn’t come to pass and it’s almost a year since this article was published. Yes there are plans for Ukraine to join NATO, it won’t happen until the end of this war. It’s NATO rules, no country involved in active military conflict cannot join. Once the war is over Ukraine will probably join NATO, that is the plan.
If you can tell me which bit are you not understanding, I can try and clarify further as we seem to be going round and round.
I don’t like Labour, I think they are terrible and it would go against everything for me to vote for them.Let's be honest, if you're not voting Labour you're going to allow the Tories another term in power.
He’s going to be given a job consulting/advising labour on the NHS and he knows he’s not going to be elected in the next election, that’s why I said opportunistic.I have just read the article and it doesn’t sound like he has suddenly found a conscious.

PreachI don’t like Labour, I think they are terrible and it would go against everything for me to vote for them.
So according to people like you we should just ignore that, and do something we fundamentally disagree with just to get the Tories out?
Or we can use our democratic right to vote for who we want to? I bloody hate tactical voting - I’ve seen people bully others because they didn’t vote for Labour.
(No I won’t vote for the Tories, I think they are useless).

At the moment none of them, I really don’t know who to vote forWho do you actually like?
Are you feeling politically adrift too? Are there any independent or LibDem candidates you could get behind? I’m in Wales, when there isn’t a candidate I can get behind I can always vote Plaid Cymru. I wish we could have a none of the above option.At the moment none of them, I really don’t know who to vote for
I totally agree - I think none of the above would win by a landslide.Are you feeling politically adrift too? Are there any independent or LibDem candidates you could get behind?

Im a cynical old bastard but I don’t believe Dan Poulter. Just look at his voting record.I have just read the article and it doesn’t sound like he has suddenly found a conscious. The decline of the NHS has been going on for years and it sounds like it has gradually worn him down too. Personally I have a great deal of respect for people who can change their minds in face of the evidence and doubt if he just woke up one morning and decided he would be better off jumping ship.
