Keir, what do you think?

[Lovepeaceunderstanding]

Labour will win this General Election but I don’t think Sir Keir will be party leader a year from now because there are many amongst Labour MP’s who will want to be more radical. Who would you like to see as leader of the Labour Party a year from now and why?

I don’t think I am the one being deliberately obtuse in this situation.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I think reality was being discussed before you posted that tripe.

Bullshit. Seriously, is someone paying you to post this shit? You can't actually believe it.

I'm incredulous that anyone would believe it.

Who’d pay for it? Can you imagine parting with cash for it?

Let's keep it real

And then goes on to post a load of absolute sky-is-green nonsense.

No one at all with one iota of what’s going on politically is talking about a Labour coalition at this stage, it’s the exact opposite.

I dont know why you’re posting such badly informed stuff, is it just to get a reaction?

You really need to go back to frothing about Kate.

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator well, clearly Starmer hasn't failed to tame the lunatic fringe of his party - he has done exactly that and done it so well that Labour are now very electable indeed. Today's poll has Labour at a majority of 352 seats. Now that probably won't happen, but the majority will be big.

However, in the vanishingly unlikely event that there is a hung parliament resulting in a coalition with Labour leading it, that would be a completely legitimate outcome of the electoral process. It happens when the electorate does not wish to give a single party a mandate to govern and it is the norm in many countries where voting is by proportional representation. To say that this is 'getting in by the back door' is to show a fundamental respect for British democracy and British values. Are you opposed to democracy? It would be lovely if you were to answer this question.

There are several theories about this, but best not to speculate. I try to educate instead - it might help some people who don't know that much about how democracy works to understand that there's nothing shady about coalitions, depspite what some people say. At a time like this, it's important to make sure that misinformation is challenged and set right wherever possible.

Gaslighting? its a fact Labour lost three consecutive elections two of those were led by Corbyn

Momentum has gone quiet. For now.

What happened to the ERG ? The rational side of the Tory party 😂

@pointythings personally I don’t have anything against a Lab/Lib coalition, in my personal case (being in a safe Tory seat where the Lib/Lab vote is split equally but if combined would win) I’d favour Labour not fielding a candidate as it would potentially make for a non Tory victory in my area.

I would actually prefer it if there was more cooperation between the LP and Libs/Grn as there so much damage to repair.

He was a disaster for the Labour lot. Thnakfully he will never return to the Labour party as he is worse than most of the left wingers in Lab aTM

Me too!

They won't. I'm not keen on him personally but I do think he's competent.

Corbyn didn't lose. The tories won by smear campaign - aided and abetted by this country's disgusting tabloid gutter-press and members of the Labour Party like Starmer - , Bozo, Brexit and an electorate so dumb they're even now insisting the mess we're in is all Corbyn's fault.

How they've arrived at that conclusion is explained by the same obfuscation by convoluted claptrap they keep regurgitating every time someone tries to do them a favour and peel them off Starmer's window.

Me three.

Corbyn didn't lose

Well by that token, neither did Milliband.

Except he did lose, Corbyn twice and the last time by a landslide margin as we’ve all been experiencing for the last parliament.

The r/w press is always going to be the river that a left wing party has to swim up in any election in this country, rightly or wrongly that’s just how it is.

And you, (for someone that thinks they’re one step above everyone else in intelligence) clearly dont have a very good grasp of what “gaslighting” actually means. Hint: it’s not just something you don’t agree with

He is also a happily married family man who didn't settle down until he was 40ish, and he knows how many children he has too. Bonus

He's a bit confused about what sex they are though...😬

Loving that people have said that Starmer will not have an issue with the hard left and then...ooops... along comes srailfonaidraug!

Corbyn lost and destroyed the party. Get over it.

There's a bit of a difference between a disappointed Corbynite on an Internet forum and a political party. Starmer has done a good job removing the Momentum brigade from positions of power in the party. He's been a damn sight better at party discipline than the Tories with their 500 warring factions. I am aware that this is a low bar.

Oh give over people saw his interviews not just read right wing papers and they came to the conclusion his style of politics isn’t what they wanted the causes he supported and didn’t

the Labour Party imploded under him with Momentum behind him and anti semitism ran rife it was absolutely appalling

Corbyn has always been an agitator, he has always been anti what ever government is in power even his own party and there is a place for him but it’s not as PM or leader of the opposition and now no longer as a member of the Labour Party as he will still undermine the impact of the anti semitism under his leadership

And if you know anything about Corbyn is that is doesn’t shift he was anti EU like his mentor Tony Benn those of us that knew this were not surprised by his lacklustre and completely out of character behaviour while campaigning during the Referendum

Well considering the last decade plus has been the hard right tail wagging the Tory party dog, I very much doubt the hard left will exert much control if Labour win this election. Did they the last time we had a labour govt? No they didn’t.

More reds under the bed scaremongering.
