Oh yeah, I forgot about that. So instead Brick Lane will just be a deserted waste land of empty shopfronts that no one is willing to pay £60-100k a year for.

I have noticed some of the more astute lefty commentariat posting that a right-wing coup might be on the way if Starmer's performance doesn't improve. A depressing reminder that there is a big clique in the PLP that thinks Starmer is too moderate, and might start sowing dissent against him soon enough. lol what a shithole party!

None of those are Brick Lane though - three around Strand/Fleet Street alone.

If the market was doing its job then commercial rents would be going down right now but I assume that's not the case.

I am enjoying those who are blaming Starmer, the only thing that people currently like about the Labour party, for the fact they are behind in the polls. https://t.co/cPsUlsiV76— Chris Curtis (@chriscurtis94) July 10, 2020
Lol @ this tactic. Pretend Starmer is popular but the 'brand' is tarnished.

love it when people need to put "BREAKING" at the start of their tweets like they are Reuters
BREAKING: A senior Labour source says that the PLP are extremely dissatisfied with Keir Starmer as leader. His polling numbers are "shit" & "he should be twenty points ahead after the Dominic Cummings affair".Moves are afoot to establish a vote of no confidence within weeks...— FQ Coyle (@francisqcoyle) July 10, 2020

'Moves are afoot' is garbage.
He won election as leader by nearly 60%? He's not going anywhere.
The other thing about that poll, though - 6% is awful for the Lib Dems, and even 5% SNP looks low (but maybe the latter is normal given # of MPs in Scotland etc).

I mean it might be true to some extent, but this probably says more about Boris right now.

Boris has already lost the personal lead. The Tories don't lose theirs until post-Brexit and/or the Covid collapse bites is my guess. Polling suggests opinions rn basically amount to "it's not their fault/they're doing the best they can". Definitely on Brexit, more mixed on CV. But with added "Sunak helps working heroes doesn't give benefits to immigrants like the other lot".
― stet, Friday, 10 July 2020 16:31 (three years ago) link
More like 11 or 12 years at this point.

08-15 didn't have quite so many Labour people doing the shitting, that really helped matters.
