I really don't want to go through two years of disaster and destruction just because you want a Labour landslide.
Much though I want a Labour government, I agree.
We need someone with a basic grasp of the markets and how they operate, allied with an awareness of ordinary people's needs and concerns. The second part of that equation is a difficult ask from the current crop of apparent candidates. So I guess I'll have to settle for the first part. Rishi it is, then.
The only other possibility, and I'm not sure the figures stack up, is that Boris Johnson returns and enough of his backbenchers are so pissed off that they fall in line behind a vote of no confidence. But that is a really long shot, and the possibility of letting Johnson back in gives me a great sense of foreboding.
