Of course. She then announced she'd be returning soon to the fray. You must have missed that.AnatolyKasparov wrote:She announced she was stepping aside just days before the election! Did you miss it?SpinningHugo wrote: Abbott isn't going
Now, I agree she isn't necessarily gone PERMANENTLY - but that's not what I said. For now, there is a vacancy.
As for Nandy she called it wrong last year - should have returned after Jez's second leadership win like Starmer/Champion/Healey et al did. Flirted a bit unwisely with Blue Labour stuff as well - including some silly conference that featured that racist cabbie.
She was apparently quite generous to Corbyn on election night though - so we'll see.
I think she's hopeless, but she's one of the Campaign group, and they're the only ones trusted.
Starmer miscalculated. His agenda was quite clear.

Apparently, if the above is correct, the Queen's Speech could happen on Monday, after all. Assuming the partridge dries out in time. Or whatever.

The deal between Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party and the Tories to keep Theresa May in Downing Street is likely to come down to hard cash — and the DUP’s “have cake and eat it” attitude to Brexit.
The party, whose leader Arlene Foster flew to London Tuesday for talks with May, campaigned for Brexit in last year’s referendum and its members often portrayed as hard Brexiteers. But like the Tories, the party is split on the issue and its main goal will be to maintain essentially the same border arrangements with the Republic of Ireland to the south and the rest of the U.K.

LONDON — Britain would be welcomed with “open doors” if it decides to reverse its plans to leave the EU, a leading member of the German government has said.
German Finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told Bloomberg that while it was “up to the British government to take their own decisions,” Germany would not stand in the way of the UK returning to the union.

Yes this really is the end of Tory austerity – because it was never about economics in the first place
Reducing the UK’s deficit was a necessity. Cutting it without regard for the state of the overall economy was unscientific stupidity if not wanton vandalism

Never mind, I'm sure everything will go swimmingly...George Bridges, who was in charge of pushing Brexit legislation through parliament, quit on Tuesday after falling out with Theresa May, the prime minister.
According to people close to Lord Bridges, an EU advocate, he had become frustrated with the lack of consultation between Downing Street and the Department for Exiting the EU (Dexeu).
“Bridges is said to have quit on policy grounds, convinced Brexit couldn’t work,” said one Whitehall figure. “There is some disarray.”
