He totally abrogated responsibility as leader, making no public statement for or against and even bravely running away instead of voting either way. Gaza was a major issue in the byelection and he cocked it up.
Very much agreed. And TBH I think he shouldn’t have run in this by-election, which overlapped with the Party conference where an incredibly heated motion will be voted on, to begin with. Especially shouldn’t have told members to not attend the conference to campaign for him.
He was selected as leader partly with the promise he wouldn’t seek a seat, so I think his previous career as a hustler may be bleeding back into his new life.
How’s this an “own” goal when he didn’t even support the motion? Or are you saying not supporting it is the own goal?
