The Old Crem

Starmer really didn’t rate a lot of the Labour shadow team did he.

Sky News saying the Tories 1922 Committee election has descended into farce with Jeremy Hunt and Edward Leigh turned away and Mark Francois fuming. https://x.com/darrenmccaffrey/status/1810718616662282704?s=61

She collected it today. Looks quite well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0471dk9x3mo

It be Jenrick I think.

Seems like it is all over for Braverman according to the Sun even her mentor John Hayes has abandoned her for Jenrick.

Jeremy Corbyn is the deputy Father of the House followed by Roger Gale. David Davis and Diane Abbott have both served continuously since 1987. Christopher Chope was first elected in 1983 but missed 1992-1997 while Andrew Mitchell was first elected in 1987 but missed 1997-2001.

Labour’s Judith Cummins and Sharon Hodgson both running to be a deputy speaker.

I can see her running for one or maybe a Committee chair instead.

Allister is very very socially conservative.

She has turned up for the first day of the Commons sitting and is taking a prominent spot as Mother of the House.

Caroline Noakes has announced she is running for Deputy Speaker.

Lord (Jeffrey) Archer also retired.

Surely even she knows a speech like that won’t help her win Tory MP’s who she needs to make the Tory Membership ballot. A lot of the MP’s who used to talk like that are gone.

Suella has gone into one of the most shocking rants anyone who’s ever held one of the great offices of state has ever delivered.

Reform didn’t do that well there either. If they did it could have been gained by Labour who gained sevreal seats on less than the 35.3% there got there. (Which was a lower share than they got there in 2017).

Not 100% sure they fully wrote it off. . Ellie Reeves was in Croydon South on Election Day with a lot of people from her Lewisham local party. If the seat has been written off like some were she would have gone elsewhere (Even out of London - Labour were sending activists from London as Far as Norfolk and Hampshire.)

Stride almost went. Barclay has one of the bigger majorities of all those in shadow cabinet.

Yes, Labour didn’t do that well out in Outer London and particularly Croydon with long term local issues for Labour. Also a relatively low Reform vote - lower than UKIP in 2015 in his seat.

How is she going to get have culture way arguements through Richard Holdern and David Cameron have both quit as well. ,

In the end Harrow East becomes the safest Tory seat of all but then they only keep that, Staffordshire Moorlands and Brigg and Goole. Reform took Great Yarmouth.

He can’t. The Tories are electing a new one and it’s expected to be either Bob Blackman or Geoffrey Clifton - Brown.

Sounds like she might be running for Tory Leader.

Danny Kruger has abandoned Suella Braverman and is now backing Robert Jenrick according to the Telegraph..
