To like Keir Starmer?

Unlike Tony Blair, he comes from a working class background - his siblings would still call themselves working class.

As a very bright lawyer, he could have sought a path which made him rich quickly but instead chose human rights which isn’t an easy route to take and he’s defended ‘the little guy’ against corporations. He’s also anti-death penalty.

Ok, he’s a Sir, and I’ve heard people (perhaps not unreasonably) question why the leader of the Labour Party would have a title like that. But he earned it through work for the criminal justice system.

On the face of it, it seems as though he deserves a chance.

I would much rather have him as PM than a former Bullingdon club member who used to burn money in front of homeless people for the fun of it.

I agree, it's horrifying! Absolutely awful. If anyone is wondering, I think Biden is a much better proposition than Trump, cognitive decline and all. Trump is not fit for political office of any kind. Previous staff of his administration recall having to dumb down important information for him, like they were telling a bed time story.

I think Trump's reaction to his near-assassination is actually a good reminder for us all that he is indeed a sociopath. Rather, than being brave, he simply doesn't register the near attempt on his life and tries to carry on his political message.

Sociopaths lack empathy, not only for others but also for themselves (I watched a diagnosed sociopath talk about this once and she said that she can't empathise with her future self either so she burns bridges and almost died in a car accident but it barely registered on her 'fear' scale.)

I think Biden is a much better proposition than Trump, cognitive decline and all. Trump is not fit for political office of any kind.

I think this is where it is so hard for the American people. They need to pick between one who is no longer in charge of his faculties, and one who , well , trump.

biden is declining fast , he can’t go another year never mind 5, and the American public need to chose between putting trump in or someone who can’t string a sentence together much of the time.

You may be right about Biden @Roseyjane but at least they'd end up with a democratic government working behind the scenes.

The thought of either of them having the nuclear codes terrifies me.

I think NewOrleans had a mayoral election like this. They had a choice between a known Klansman and a corrupt politician. They went with the corrupt one.

I think the issue with Trump is that really you are looking at someone who isn’t bothered about violence. In fact it’s something he relishes; encourages or works on.

I fear for the States if he is elected. American politics has had frequent violence and assassinations. But I don’t think they have seen anything yet. Both Trump and his VP reckon the last election was stolen. Okay with violence if not directed at them. Scary.
