The party rules say leader is elected by the members. The 1922 is empowered to confirm the choice that goes to members (which they have broad discretion in how to organise). They can put their thumbs on the scale like with Sunak but rewriting the party rule book a bigger and more difficult ask.

I would say it can't possibly be a man next time but Labour members will do anything for the cause of equality except choose a female leader.

i wonder how long Starmer will want to serve? The Tory lines about Sir Sleepy clearly nonsense but he probably isn't looking at two full terms.

British people pretending Starmer taking family time leaves us unsafe are as morally bereft as judges who think Trump is at risk from frivolous prosecutions.
