Hunt is not untainted. He is a Remainer and will be resented by a large Tory MP cohort.
He is tainted also by his failure to hand over a fit for purpose health service, that spent its money on clinical matters rather than bureaucracy, diversity and the like.

By untainted I mean not a Minister close to Johnson.
The bookies have him as a likely next leader.

Tories would not win with Hunt, he is actually Tainted, he was a disgrace as Health Secretary. He also hinted at stronger lockdowns, like China, he is not favoured to be leader.

This is their biggest weakness, they don't have a position on anything.
What is Starmer's position on the rail dispute?

How sad it would be if the Lada became PM. Btw, "tuk-tuk" might be more appropriate for Boris.

Starmer issued directive last week, no front benchers on picket lines. That order was defied, so there’s your answer.

We do not want to see these strikes to go ahead with the resulting disruption to the public. The government have failed to engage in any negotiations.

So he’s wrong if he supports the strike and he’s wrong if he doesn’t support the strike?
I thought he was supporting the workers - those trying to get to work by train?

One might conclude that Starmer supports one type/class of worker and not the other.
