    Polling doesn’t matter when you have such a large majority. Labour could lose a Theresa May level of seats every year through by-elections and still not have to call an election until 2029.

    Without Brexit as a dividing issue or an organisation like the ERG, we’re not going to see a mirror of the Tory’s leadership contests, and the mechanism for changing party leader is completely different as well.

    A lot can happen in five years, but I’ll buy a hat and subsequently eat it if Kier isn’t PM in 2029.
