Starmer and optimism there’s an interesting thought
Well exactly. Doesn’t inspire much in me at the moment and I’m not sure how he gets on against another charlatan candidate
You say another charlatan candidate but really Starmer should stand for something. It’s clear he won’t reverse the NI price hike, lots of waffle, won’t alter the fuel price caps either - what does he stand for
Well I mean a snake oil salesman with perceived charisma is enough to romp home in this country
Only time a labour leader has won in half a century is what you are describing - Major and May you certainly can’t say had very much charisma
I’m not expecting policies right now. Just when the time comes I want an optimistic campaign
These Tory MP’s don’t half seem bothered by parties. Well, the ones that didn’t attend or organise them at least.
I love your optimism, but that sort of stuff just doesn't work anymore.I want to see Labour run on what they have to offer, instead of going ‘we aren’t them’. Just offer a positive campaign based mostly on economic solutions for working people.
By all accounts Johnson doesn’t like confrontation, so maybe there’s a deal done ie resign with a bit of dignity or get the boot. Or they jumped first knowing they’d be pushed. Reynolds and Rosenfield were 99% certain to go, plus one of the others I think. Not sure the other two were though
I love your optimism, but that sort of stuff just doesn't work anymore.
Fact is labour could come up with an extremely sensible and costed manifesto and there'd still be this overriding perception in far too many people that Labour are economically illiterate while the Tories are adept at running an economy.
That's the approach Labour need to take.I love your optimism, but that sort of stuff just doesn't work anymore.

Well I simply mean
Lower or eliminate VAT
Raise the minimum wage
Raise corporation tax and top end tax rates
Focus on people’s pockets
All good points and policies.
But will achieve very little if delivered in a staid, uncharismatic manner. Which is what Starmer is likely to do. He'd be professional, but would likely lose to someone with a personality.
I feel by the time of another election most people won't care about 'Boris'' nonsense if he's not in charge, even though those same people were just as complicit.
Certainly think he needs to feature more prominently, but Tories would probably try to label him as a radical leftie socialist.Tactical injection of Andy Burnham please

I mean he laughs but the last man to romp home just told jokes and hid from the press
Burnham would be considered far right in the eyes of Unite and the dumbass labour members
The union circles I mix in disagree
Well good for you. He also earns a 6 figure salary plus expenses and lives where he is happy living - what’s his incentive
Didn’t say I expected it to happen just would be my preferred choice. Starmer also presumably would have been better off financially in law than politics
Burnham is in politics and admits is far happier where he is
I dunno. Maybe he has the the best interests of the majority of the 65 million inhabitants of the UK at heart...Well good for you. He also earns a 6 figure salary plus expenses and lives where he is happy living - what’s his incentive
And Boris wanted to leave the EU.Just like Gove doesn't want to be PM
It looks like things are coming to an end for ‘Mr Johnson’.
It’s safe to say it’s currently the worst PM, cabinet and government in my lifetime.To be replaced by some other hopeless c**t
It’s safe to say it’s currently the worst PM, cabinet and government in my lifetime.
No contestIt’s safe to say it’s currently the worst PM, cabinet and government in my lifetime.
