Up against the most corrupt government in modern times, Starmer has been a huge disappointment so far and it's not obvious who else could lead them to a better showing. Shit times. To be fair to Starmer, the time to judge will be once this pandemic is over. He's a clever guy, and can summon up a bit of gravitas when the fancy takes him. I have my fingers crossed that he's saving each and every **** up and morsel of corruption to violently ram right up the tories farter once the covid panic is over. I'm dreaming of the sweetest and most comprehensive takedown in modern British political history. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an extremely clever guy but lacks charisma. He needs to set out a positive and coherent plan for what he would do in government. Any fool can criticise a sitting government from the opposition benches or from behind a keyboard, though in fairness plenty to pick from in the current lot. One big thing which will hamper him is that Scotland used to routinely send 40-50 Labour MPs to Westminster even in the worst of times for Labour. Not no more and those days aren’t returning any time soon and probably never. There are also dozens and dozens of seats in the South such as mine (Wantage) that would elect a Tailor’s dummy in a blue rosette. There are many seats in the North which were previously Labour Equivalents ie the Red Wall, hammered horribly in Thatcher”s time which have recently turned Tory for the 1st time. Bawjaws, loathe him as I do has a large cult like following which seems fo forgive him for pretty much anything. When they took Hartlepool by a landslide last month, he paced around the seafront smiling and relaxed. A generation ago, a Tory PM wouldn’t dare set foot in Hartlepool for fear of being lynched! I cross my fingers that Starmer does turn it around but he faces an uphill struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professorfate Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I can't believe people in England think Boris is better than Starmer. I think once covid has settled down people will know the real cost of covid years of low wages and higher taxes. I know the Goverment will have to claw it back somehow. I will get back to Boris this is a guy that can't answer a question honestly and a man that can never be trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charisma should be oozing out of his very pores. It’s almost a requirement of that job. Labour blew it by appointing the wrong milliband as we all know. Andy Burnham will be on the next list of potential leaders. Please no, anyone but old rent-a-cliche! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fooled the lot of them into thinking he's one of them, a regular, stand up guy with his very carefully crafted persona. He's not one of them. He couldn't be more different from them and he ultimately couldn't give two shits about any of them as his 'its only killing 80 year olds' and 'let the bodies pile high' comments prove, never mind the absolute shit show of his defining moment of Brexit. I think he's married his match here as she's a conniving, power hungry bint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been away for ages, but I remember he used to come across like that bloke we all know who tries to make his horrendous patter stick in the pub. He'd just repeat the same crap soundbites in interviews, like a daft wee schoolboy. I can't stand the Tories, but principled as he might be, his awful patter would be enough to turn a man 🙄 Edited June 2, 2021 by A Boy Named Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
