Lame duck PM, frankly. Not 100 per cent certain the Tories will last till 2024. If they do, Kier will tear them a new one when the time comes. People are already sick of the Tories and Corbyn is the only reason theyre in power
I also think Keir will be a much more persuasive leader than any Labour leader has been since Blair, in pre-planned debates like all lawyers he will have his facts straight, in straight head to heads like PMQ's my money would still be on bullshit Boris, but at least it will be a fight not a walkover. .
You're assessment of a lame duck PM is badly misplaced ... a common's majority of 80 is not lame duck ... you can claim all you want that people are "
sick and tired" but as with Brexit and the last GE opinions mean nothing, it's votes that matter.
This isn't unsupported rhetoric it's backed up by yesterday's evidence - a hugely controversial bill that has been attacked by experts, media and the talking heads alike, yet Boris Johnson's controversial plan to override key elements of the Brexit deal he signed with Brussels has cleared its first Commons hurdle. Was it close? Did the sick and tired come into play ... the answer very loud and clear was NO
MPs voted to give the UK Internal Market Bill a second reading by 340 to 263 - a Government majority of 77.
There might be a smaller majority at future readings but don't be fooled the Tories are rock solidly in power, don't expect that to even waver that much before 2024.
