Wait, what - like of the Tony Blair school? It all sounds very familiar. Sorry but that ship has sailed and times has changed.
Labour have made the mistake of being complacent with people they assumed were always going to vote for them, and now they have one Scottish MP and have lost the red wall. You're seeing the start of the Green rise in the polls already, and if Labour stays where it is or drifts any further right, they'll be in even worse trouble in a few electoral cycles.
Not necessarily. Look she’s good at what she does, she appeals to the party faithful well but she’s toxic to southern middle England surely?! I mean she was the only senior Labour MP who campaigned in N Shropshire and look how that went down.
I’m not saying they need to move further to the right just that SHE is the wrong person. She’s got too much baggage
I like her.
They are but it's mostly through Boris' own self destructive implosion. Starmer has helped with this, don't get me wrong, but a strong leader for Labour and a formidable opposition to the Tory machinery he is not. Not in my opinion.
Nandy for me tooOK, but who then? Time is of the essence here. Better to work with who and what we've got is what I'm saying.
However, I do strongly believe it should be a woman. And no it's not just because I read Dominic Cummings' blog posts
I like her.
In fairness, I think this is his strength - he doesn't rant and rave, which shows Johnson up by comparison. A lot of people on Twitter seem to dislike him BECAUSE he doesn't descend into histrionics during PMQs, which just seems bloody stupid to me.
Starmer being DULL isn't the problem. he doesn't fucking STAND FOR ANYTHING. pure centrist terf-endorsing nonsense.
HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE STOOD DOWN
About 10% of Tory voters in 2019 say they're going to vote Labour at the moment?I thought Starmer was going to do that? Oh.
This was my problem with Corbyn, to be fair. He had ideas, but was conspicuously silent on anything that actually mattered in the moment; I didn't trust him to be the opposition I wanted against Brexit when that was what was sorely needed in 2019. I feel like Starmer has been consistent on Covid, I just wish he'd call out the bullshit spewed by the Tories rather than just let it slide.
Sadly he ate a bacon sandwich which is the worst thing any politician has ever done, he really had no choice.
Not now, but I stand by that he should have remained leader after the election as a reminder of "This is what you could have had" as the Torys imploded. He'd have walked the Theresa May election.Are people seriously saying Ed fucking Miliband is the answer? Jesus christ
I have my doubts about Starmer, but if you're going to say someone's SHIT then the least you can do is recommend a replacement that isn't a PROVEN FAILURE!
This annoys me that whoever it is left a space after entering a persons first name to the address book so it shows as double spaced between first name and surname.
Yeah, I had to look that up. That should be the headline; by their own admission Brexit was about making everything worse so the rich could profit.
I urge everyone to take some time and read up what "Radical supply side reform" - Brexit was always about eroding rights, environmental protections and regulations so that a handful of people could get rich, and this fucking proves it.
BIZZY LIZZY
Well yes and also to be honest that role is not something anyone could SUCCEED in so it knocks out a leadership rival
this theory seems to attribute too much strategic intelligence to BoJo, but if it results in ANYONE BUT LIZ TRUSS for PM then I'm in!
