Keir Starmer at it again..

[Tony Towner]

Yeah, that didn't happen

 

[Kenny]

If it did can he be our head coach for away games...

 

[Templeton Peck]

Doesn't sound believable although stopping game as soon as you're ahead sounds very Labour Right.

 

[Jolemai]

Labour are the real conservatives, says Starmer as he promises to protect 'our way of life'

Labour leader will argue against redistribution alone, promising to change his party's 'DNA' like Tony Blair 'on steroids'

I can't stand Starmer and won't be voting Labour but I actually don't mind this. Tories always play the patriotism card yet they shit on the UK at every opportunity if it means some cunt can make some money.

Please tell me you don't live in a Labour, Tory marginal?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Maybe Saint Jeremy could start a party?

 

[Tredman]

Still, imagine the principles Peck will have as more people starve to death.

 

[Del Woppio]

I don't think the headline is a particular fair representation of the content, but it happens.

Ultimately Starmer is a centrist, so he's always going to say things that will appeal to the centre right probably more than the centre left. He's far from my dream PM, but he's also more palatable than anything on the opposite benches, so he'll get my support. Hopefully he's in for a couple of terms and can then hand the baton over to a Cooper/Raynor ticket and just nudge left as the mess gets a bit tidier

Labour/Lib Dem. Not that marginal but it's changed hands in the past.

That would be great. Or indeed anyone to represent the Left.

The problem is not many people on the country want left wing politics, I'm afraid for a lot of folks it will as usual be the least worst option.

To be honest in that situation Labour wouldn't get an immediate X from me either (probably for different reasons to yours, but then we aren't all clones just because we lean left). Not that I'm a huge natural Lib Dem fan either Although they are better now than under 133 year old Vince Cable or Jo Swinson running Jo Swinson's vote for Jo Swinson's Lib Dems. I did like Charlie Kennedy, God rest him.

When it's Tory vs Labour then there shouldn't be a competition.

Yeah we could call it the 'Labour' Party...

 

[Johnny75]

2019 rang and asked if you would like to hear the results...

Farage has had a huge influence on UK politics without ever winning an election. There needs to be a party left of centre if only to remind people there is a different conversation to be had.

Loved Charles Kennedy. They were the most left wing party at that time and he was brilliant on Iraq. Couldn't vote for them again though. Food banks is their legacy.

So you won't vote for Lib Dems *or* Labour? You're as well staying at home if you don't want to even hint at influencing the seat

Labour literally don't want my vote. Fine with me.

Oh I absolutely agree you need a balance of parties, but Im afraid Starmers Labour Party is as centre left as we're likely to get, otherwise they just won't get elected, never mind get a majority which is already looking doubtful.
