Would be happy with that, but happier still if they get rid of smarmy Starmer.

because the lib dems got smashed the last time they were in a coalition, why would they risk it happening again?

I think we need a dose of reality. Before the last election, the lib dems believed they were going to win a majority, and then look what happened

Another point worth remembering, the lib dems and labour had lost a ton of council seats over the last 5 or so years. There was only really 1 direction for them to go this time and that was upward.

Glasgow goes NOC

Interesting to see greens on track to pick up more councillors than labour, so maybe progressives and climate realists aren't quite as bad as feared once folks get tired of being fed BS.

If Starmer is forced to resign, they will have the opportunity to go further right by continuing to try and woo tories with wes streeting, or maybe to self correct with solutions and policies rather than attacking the left constantly.

Because he's under police investigation and the opportunists have already started circling.

I don't necessarily think he should - he's better than most of the alternatives - but f the vultures force him out for basically doing a fraction of what BoJo did, then it would make Johnson's continued hanging on more tenuous?

I hate both, but Starmer has presented himself as a man of high morals and convictions, and that's never an accusation you could throw at Johnson.

It will have absolutely no impact on Johnson who should have already done the decent thing, but if Starmer ends up with a fine, then he will have absolutely no choice. Morals is the only thing KS has tried to stand on, he's abstained over the worst tory policies, and hasn't fought for anything other than wallpaper photo-ops.
