Quote: Teddy Paddalack @ 9th June 2022, 12:30 PMI think the crux is that if they do and Starmer and Rayner stand down then the Rebel Alliance will use that as the crowbar to get that lying fat bastard out of number 10.
I think that's right - the "lying toe-rag wouldn't do the decent thing" line it's too big a weapon for Lab/Lib?Green/SNP to have in their arsenal.
Downside is Momentum will come charging back in trying to hijack the party again - resurrecting the dead corpse of Corbyn.
I think the sensible crowd will prevail though - but it would help if there was a strong leader in the wings.
