I doubt it, the tv cameras where there when they took selfies and waved them off.

Corbyn says ‘discussions are ongoing’ after MP’s surprise announcement, and is understood...

A new home for you Mark. 

I would prefer a Green/"As yet unnamed left-wing party" coalition, as opposed to Reform/Tory coalition. Corbyn hasn't got the clems for a leadership role, he'd make a canny Foreign Secretary or even Home Secretary, IMHO. Green Party suits me politically at this time.

We'll see how things pan out.

Politics isn't fantasy football. You don't have to choose the exact angle from which you'd like to be kicked in the bollocks. A perfectly viable form of politics is an absence of politics.

Perhaps no politics is a workable endgame, but I think that the current trajectory society is on isn't one which will ever accomodate that situation.

@Johnsond

Should Reform win an election, how long do you think it will be before they move to privatise the NHS and implement an insurance based health care system?

I’ve no idea. But I do know the NHS and Care system is failing those whom have put in all their working lives. Me personally I’ve recently had to pay privately for a minor surgery or wait 12-18 months on the NHS, I’d easily opt out and pay insurance for me and my family. Not everyone has that option I know but whilst it’s being used to care for tens of thousands of illegals and those who have never put a penny into it I’ll probably keep those views. I can easily see a basic and plus type service set up coming in at some point as the current system is just not sustainable or fair.
