Boris Johnson plans early election to hit Corbyn

[RandySF]

Boris Johnson wants to hold an early general election “while Jeremy Corbyn is still around”, senior allies have said as his team plans to overhaul the Conservative Party’s campaign machine.

The frontrunner for the Tory leadership appeared last night at a fundraising dinner with his rival, Jeremy Hunt, that was attended by 100 Conservative donors in an attempt to boost the party coffers and build an election war chest.

The £1,000-a-head event in central London, where donors questioned the candidates directly, was intended to help to secure more than £1 million. Sources said that the party had been left in “dire financial straits” under Theresa May after donors abandoned it amid concerns over Brexit.

1. Smart politics.

Corbyn is a disaster. Will be a hard lesson for Labour to learn, I’m afraid.

3. Be that as it may, it doesn't address Labour's problem

Which is that it is a dumpster fire under Corbyn.

And the Liberal Dems aren’t exactly world beaters either. Sadly, It’s all set up nicely for BoJo. To deny that is to deny current realities. Corbyn had his chance in 2017.

4. If Labour really wanted to win . . .

. . . they'd jettison Corbin and his anti-Semitic baggage, and rally behind David Lammy, a brilliant young man who is eloquent and can actually attract votes for his party.
