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?

He won in the polls after the one sided clash

‘It just goes to show that there's nothing positive to say about the Tories, so posters have to resort to attacking Labour.’

😂😂🤣🤣 That is is all that labour do - attack the tories.. it’s all they know how to do.

That is why Starmer found the other night so difficult. All he’s done is attack the tories, never told anyone what labour stand for. Apart from the obvious (private school vat, women with penises and erm not sure anything else?)

@ActivePeony 'terrified owl' was pretty rude. Also pathetic.

He went to Winchester.

Sunak lied 11 times in an hour on national television.

Then sent his ministers out lie again on his behalf.

It's all very reminiscent of Johnson's ministers being put through the wringer after Partygate and Pincher.

Even the Spectator found their lies ridiculous, the Spectator!!

Knighthoods date far further back than the British Empire. Don’t they teach history these days?

He's a very intelligent and one of the best public prosecutors we have had and is a KC so is also highly regarded in the legal profession as well. He may be a bit 'bland' for some but he is far from unintelligent.

I think a lot of his issues will be from others in the party hamstringing him

So many assumptions in such a short and incoherent post!

As a socialist, I have no problem with people receiving honours when they are deserved. Someone with a distinguished career in law, and specifically in human rights law, getting an'sir' - nope, no problem with that at all. Someone getting one because they've donated £££ to a political party - not so much.

I also don't have a problem with people being rich. I'd just like the gap to be smaller, say roughly the same size it was in the 60s and 70s.

Is that simple enough for you?

Truth is, both Starmer and Sunk are headline acts in the same circus. Both labour and tories are the mark of the devil, with the former being an absolute doddle to argue in favour of by virtue of the latter being such a proven used colostomy bag salesman. Even the most myopic of muppets, as anyone who thinks Starmer is the answer to the ever-increasing problems this country faces will be seeing in the mirror in less than two years time, has no trouble making a case for the unsung failure right now.

Mark of the devil, as the greatest book ever written warns.

I compared him to a frightened owl yes, because that it exactly what he reminded me of - certainly not the confident, forensic barrister that we are supposed to be seeing. He did not speak well at all.

He actually didn't. One poll shows Sunak edging it 49/51. Another shows Starmer winning by a considerable margin. Let's keep it truthful, shall we?

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator Lol reform are edging ahead of your party. That’s a party with no policies beating a load of corrupt old has beens clinging desperately onto power.
The irony of accusing Labour of not being ready to govern when the Tories have achieved zilch in 14 years (apart from disastrous Brexit, wasting billions on HS2 and adding £13k onto the average household tax bill)).
The irony of suggesting Labour are Putin stooges when your own PM appointed ex KGB flunkies to the Lords and accepted 100s of thousands of pounds from them in donations.
A shouty entitled prig haranguing both opponent and moderator like a petulant school boy being somehow attractive to the voting public.
Feck me, you live in cloud cuckoo land.

Fact!!

The socialist looked like a defeated fox in the middle of the road starring at the fast moving headlights of a HGV!!

I felt embarrassed for the socialist

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator saying something is fact and adding two exclamation marks doesn't make it a fact.
The post debate polls do not agree with you - and they are the collated opinion of a large number of people, as opposed to the opinion of one person.

I think Starmer couldn’t believe how much our so called PM was showing himself up. Gobsmacked more like.
Rishi Sunak fast moving ? Yup, back to California.

Agree. Same for Brexit.

Yes I think so too. Which is a shame as I think that he could have potential as a PM if he was not always looking over his shoulder.

Your embarrassment was entirely unwarranted. I was embarrassed by the shouty, loutish PM whose expensive education clearly didn’t include manners or debating skills.

😂😂

Where was his armour??

Assuming he wins the expected landslide, Starmer will be the conquering hero. He will Labour leader & PM at least until the next election, which will be due in summer 2029, and probably for as long as he wants to.

Labour is not, and has never been, anything like as ruthless or fratricidal as the Tories. They just don’t do knifing their leaders, Blair was leader for 13 years & PM for 10 despite being loathed by the Left, & the disastrous invasion of Iraq. Corbyn was leader for 4.5 years, despite being completely useless, unelectable and a threat to national security.

LOL, funny post but the socialist Starmmer had no answers and that is a fact.

A fact that many see coming if Labour slips in via the back door with coalitions partner/s is - Good, old, Anglea Rayner won't be stating in the wings for too long as she has massive left wing support and they will see it as their only chance to have their own way,

Yes all Brexit voters are thick twats and anyone who doesn't vote Labour is a Nazi. Everyone has heard it all before. Yawn.

And Sunak couldn’t even be bothered to stay in France this afternoon at the D Day commemorations. He’s an embarrassment to our country.

Sir Keir stayed and is all over the media having a chat with Zelensky.

Another self inflicted stab in the eye for Sunak.

Socialist?

Don't be ridiculous.

Glad you agree.
