Starmer is 30:70 down in a hole with no way out, so he might as well make a final bansai charge to take the enemy down with him. But wait; the juicy opportunity to strike a blow on Boris might be way too tempting for the politically left leaning police to resist. Hmmn, the odds might have shifted 70:30 on getting away with it. Of course, if Starmer is fined, the hole gets filled in and Boris hops and skips up the road.
If Starmer resigns there are other candidates that could do better than Starmer.
Starmer isn’t bad but he isn’t much of a personality (not that we need a personality, that’s the problem we have now)
+ if Starmer resigns, that leaves the Labour Party in a position of moral superiority….that weakens Johnson significantly.
of course there is a risk the lefty members would install a Corbyn continuity nutter, in which the Labour Party might as well close down for good
