OK that's a bit tongue in cheek and temporary but he'd have been as happy as "a pig in ****" or rather a marrow in **** given his veggie preferences.

More interestingly I suspect COVID is making many voters more receptive to some of JC's ideals and the "kinder society" but its come too late to save him. Someone else is shaking the magic money tree.

JC may have failed to live up to his namesake JC's ideals, but the seeds he has planted may yet bear longer term fruit.

I'd have preferred Nando, as I remain unconvinced by the credentials of a millionaire London based leader, but he's a big step up from Becky Corbyn. So, give him a chance and see where it goes. At least he is starting from the lowest point in party history, so has little to lose.
Lol...recognise the irony.

The banks don’t seem so keen to act as providers as they did recipients a dozen years ago...or is that just my take?

By the time he takes over it may well be the lowest point in history...not just Labour Party history.
