I was reading an article in the Spectator this morning. Interesting to hear what people think.

I’ve just signed up - all they ask for is your email address.

Edited to add that I can’t find anything about the poll of MPs on their website.

Thanks for looking though!

Boring isn't the problem. I don't know what he stands for or if the Labour party know what biological sex is. Can't vote for a party who presided over decades and decades and decades of deprivation in some of our biggest cities.

A fair take on Sunak. Quite agree.

I am very keen on women's sex based rights!

Me too, unfortunately I'm also keen on workers rights, Asylum seekers rights, the right to protest, basic Human Rights, my right to keep my house & put food on the table for my kids so I am unable to vote Tory and will take my chances with whichever MP is most likely to get my Current Conservative MP out!

This Kier Starmer ? Who’s tough on crime ?

Do you believe in the rule of law @Paul2023 ?

You're going to have to try harder than that.

He is dull but that comes very low in the list of why I won’t be voting for him.

Same.

RafaistheKingofClay · 10/01/2024 18:58

Also I think you may have confused Kier Starmer with Keir Starmer. It is possible they are different people.

jgw1 · 10/01/2024 19:05

TeeBaggins · 10/01/2024 18:57

Same.

Is it above or below But Jeremy Corbyn?

Paul2023 · 10/01/2024 19:08

I want a PM that can define what a woman is. Considering most people on here are female , I’m surprised more don’t want the same.

Is defining a woman as whatever Boris Johnson says it is good enough for you?

BTW, I think you missed my earlier question. Do you believe in the rule of law?

Paul2023 · 10/01/2024 19:11

No I have more sympathy with the victims of those crimes rather than defending those responsible.
What right did he have to interfere with the legal system in other countries?

No, as in no you don't believe in the rule of law @Paul2023

For those attacking Starmer for working for overseas criminals sentenced to death, it’s been (Tory) government policy since 2010 to seek a global ban death sentences. A policy I am proud of.

I think he is really boring. There is nothing dynamic about him. Unfortunately, I also think he's morally corrupt. I don't want him to be prime minister but I want to vote Labour it's a conundrum.

This. A Labour Government led by this dollop is scary.

I find it more scary to be led by someone who can't remember all kinds of details of the decisions he made during the biggest crisis this country has faced in my lifetime.

What about someone who can't remember what sex his children are?

Boris as far as I know isn't intending to run for election any time soon.

I sometimes call my DH by the cat's name. That doesn't mean I don't know he is a human not a feline.

Ooh. That makes him look exciting.

IClaudine · 10/01/2024 19:26

Don't be too harsh. This may be the one who is able to explain all the wonderful things the Tories have done in government and so that leaves as the only important issue whether or not one knows what a woman is.

jgw1 · 10/01/2024 19:35

TooBigForMyBoots · 10/01/2024 19:33

Brave enough to meet with dangerous criminals, whilst his opponent is too scared to attend international summits.

Moier · 10/01/2024 19:41

I don't like him. I don't think he's intelligent enough.
I love Sunak.
