Starmer’s victory means that 11 of the last 12 Labour leaders went to selective or private school.

Worth bearing in mind that Sir Keir came up with and forcefully backed the genius idea of backing a second referendum, that took Labour to its lowest number of seats since 1935, losing northern constituencies like Bolsover. Then again, at least he doesn't support the IRA.

Thoughts?

A Welsh https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ent%29.svg.png poll but interesting that it took place after the Labour leadership result.

The Conservatives are becoming in Wales what Labour had always been in Scotland and Wales until 2014 to now.

More gobsmacking Westminster VI polling: YouGov/ITV Wales/Cardiff Uni is the Conservatives’ best Welsh poll ever in terms of share (46%) or lead (12 points). A swing of about 8.5% from the December result. They would also be the largest party in the Seneddhttps://t.co/AHT9rIobQK pic.twitter.com/neSHXFjUhB

this is the first labour leadership campaign I've not been interested in a while, and not only have I not been interested but I actually forgot it existed

Got a push notification on my phone about starmer winning and was just like 'oh'. Wish labour would stop acting like they're purposely trying to make themselves irrelevant :| it's hurting me now

A tory in disguise, Labour have lost my vote.

First head-to-head polling.
