He's got a photo of St Tony in his office.


Mrs Ed Balls, Ashworth and Jarvis are my guesses.

was quite happy at the time with Starmer, even though I thought Jarvis would’ve been better. Starting to think I was right.

Jarvis is another non entity tbf, as Burnham and Driscall fought for the north, Javis kept his cards close to his chest while negotiating with johnson and sat on the fence, he has never shown any appetite to lead labour and seems happy running shefield city region.

True but I was of the mind that an ex-Army bloke whose wife died of cancer was a shoo-in versus Johnson on integrity alone.

This might be the end of the road for Labour, they could go the way of the Liberals after the First World War. Political parties sometimes just wither away, they glance behind and there's no one there, they gaze ahead and everyone looks disinterested, they say stuff and nobody listens, they try a makeover and no one notices.

Membership dwindles, they start to look foolish and silly and worst of all irrelevant.

And then one day, quite suddenly, though it's been brewing for a while, large numbers of the party's core supporters look at Labour and think, what's the point?

The Labour Party are perilously close to this.

We are destined to live in a perpetual tory state.

Lol. I've said for months on here that BJ would go to the country early if he had a covid 'win' (vaccine) and the worst problems of brexit had yet to manifest. Finally the penny is dropping with Starmer that this isn't a 4 year project but I think (if he's still in the job) he might be caught out by an even earlier GE - 2022?

Former Blairite Home Sec Alan Johnson has just been on LBC

I think he has taken some pretty some serious drugs. Typically of the Blairites, he spent half his time lambasting the left and applauding moves for Labour to be more RW authoritarian than the Tories. The other half he praised Keith and said how well he is doing.
 
What was needed in the pandemic was an opposition that vigorously questioned and debated pandemic-related legislation, not on ideological grounds but simply to try and ensure that no hasty, ill-judged policies were implemented. What we got was a supine, gutless crew who waved through almost every pandemic policy on the nod.

Lol. The constant quest to be all things to all men (also any other genders) is indeed a worthy one.

If he visited a mosque he wouldn't have been asked to explain himself, not a fan of Starmer but in this instance what has he done wrong other than play the "Trying to pander to everyone" card?

99.9% of people don't care what he said, and care even less about where he said it. The permanently offended of social media must be appeased.
