.@jeremycorbyn "I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign". But he will lead the party for an interim period while it sorts out his future. Will the big trade unions permit him to stay on after such an electoral humiliation? It sounds as though Corbyn...

knows they will.

My assumption is that Corbyn knows @LenMcCluskey will back him for an indeterminate period as PM. Is @johnmcdonnellMP really on board for this? What about the other leaders of the big unions?

THREAD: What are my politics? How do I see the world? This is likely to prove quite a self-indulgent thread - but given my opposition to Lavery, and lukewarm support for Starmer, I can well imagine how some followers must be thinking "who is this guy? Is he some impostor?"

I'm 41. First got interested in politics aged 8 or 9; the first general election campaign I recall in vivid detail was in 1992. And even before that, I knew enough to dance around the classroom when Thatcher's resignation was announced.

Given when I was born, I spent my entire childhood under a Tory government. And when Labour offered socialism in 1983, or what was still viewed as socialism by very many in 1987 and 1992, it got trounced. Just as it was trounced in 2019.

Right. It's going to be the longest day of parliamentary drama you have ever experienced. And it kicks off now.

The Speaker, John Bercow, is currently deciding what to do about the election for the new Speaker, given it is now ramming right up against the election debate.

Basically it comes down to: Do they hold the Speaker's election before or after the election? Bercow said he was standing down on October 31st. But some want him to hold out for after the election.
