I voted Long Bailey but saying that it wasnt tough amongst the shite. I’m gonna give him a chance - you don’t have his CV by being an absolute mug. It’s all about personality now and how he plays it. When the battles do come between the parties though in the house.... Boris has to deal with a very different animal now in terms of intelligence, wit, speaking ability and crafting responses that aren’t just the maybot party line.... it’ll be significantly harder sparring. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have just got to give him a chance and see how he gets on, can't be more fairer than that. At least it's a serious upgrade on what they had previously, Starmer obviously isn't Tony Blair but ar least we don't have a Labour party now whose leader will spout Russian propaganda in parliament or have a minority group ready to leave the country in droves if he wins. The Corbynistas are an embarrassment though, watching the U-Turns of people like Owen Jones, Aaron Bastani and Paul Mason as they are still desperate to be one of the pundits put forward for media appearances in support of the opposition has been a bit sickening. I hope he remembers the positions they took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markyblue Posted 5 April 2020 Share Posted 5 April 2020 Is the rumour that he was in charge of the cps and decided there wasn't enough evidence against Jimmy savile true or made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few of the Corbyn mob retweeting this all over Twitter yesterday. No idea if it's true but whatever it will certainly be a bit more nuanced than just Starmer letting off Jimmy Savile.

I agree totally but it will be a stick to beat him with when the going gets tough. Politics are a dirty game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 5 April 2020 Share Posted 5 April 2020 20 minutes ago, StanSP said: The only problem with this is he spent the last few trying to make the man who caused all that the leader of the country. If you've done that you can't really take the moral high ground on the subject. He's got so much work to do and will probably have to withdraw the whip from a few MP's if hes going to show he's serious. 8 minutes ago, Lionator said: Pretty damning on Corbyn that Starmer has been given access to the privy council straight away. Just imagine what would have happened if Corbyn had won. We would have had to have the civil service and security forces advising him, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott - people who are on record as having encouraged the defeat of the British state, how we would have handled it I've no idea. Would MI6 have even cleared them to receive the information? Frightens me 34% of the nation actually voted for this situation. Thank god it's all over.

Popular Post harpendenfox Posted 6 April 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2020 Keir Starmer is a seriously impressive individual with a long history of fighting for social justice. My personal opinion is that he will make a superb leader, and would be an astounding Prime Minister. He may not be the 'entertainer' that some seem to want from our leaders, but if you are after an intelligent, thoughtful and decent human being, look no further than Keir Starmer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good article which I strongly agree with (I work in the comms field). He's just appointed a new director of comms who I understand is a grown up (cf Seumas Milne, who had something of the dark side about him) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they're projecting their own weak, feeble attempts to hold onto and then grab back the party over the last 5 years onto those who have now lost control. I don't expect the Corbynista lot to be quite so feeble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
