You think? I think it's absolutely a referendum on Starmer. After the shambles of the past couple of weeks I imagine many people casting a protest vote.Like I said, May 7 isn’t a referendum on Starmer however much you want it to be. Even in South Wales where all those ex-miners have lost their jobs in Claire’s Accessories.
That’s enough internet for me today.Truss and Johnson were demonstrably worse than Starmer, although it’s not saying much and at least Truss is fit.
Sadly I agree I don't think he'll get it. He's too right wing for the loony left and also he was mates with Mandleson, something he's been desperately trying to gloss over.
I think they will go for Rayner or Miliband.
If that comes to pass, it's a disaster for Labour. Why? Because neither would be remotely popular amongst the general public, so would guarantee getting slaughtered in the next general election. Labour MPs would do well to think about 2029 when making their choice, not 2026!
Irony is another thing you have no grasp of, clearly.Or maybe he should learn how to think critically.
I’m not engaging any further with this as arguing with a fool is pointless.
He was a fine example of financial probity costing the UK £100–£120 billion per year in lost output through his Brexit incompetence.But he was ultimately a conservative who understood that you do not grow an economy by taxing people to death. So that puts him in front of Starmer straight off.
To be fair, the public have already passed judgement on Miliband haven't they. Granted my view that they would reject Rayner is only my opinion, but the public has not shown any particular favouritism towards hard left candidates generally.They said that of John Major after Thatcher was ousted.
I’m sure they both have eyes on the crown but, as you say, neither of them would be popular with the electorate and I think both would be worse for the country.Sadly I agree I don't think he'll get it.

However much millions of people will treat it as a referendum, it won’t make the slightest difference to who represents you in parliament and who the PM is, but you could end up with a bunch of clueless morons running your local council and making a complete mess of it. There’s plenty of examples of Reform completely fucking up local government so good luck with your protest vote, although in your case you wouldn’t vote Labour anyway.You think?

I also noted with great amusement the Labour PR department had all their TV spokespeople doing the rounds drilled into saying virtually the same words these past mornings : That no-one on the doorstep is interested or talking about the Mandleson scandal. Yeah right ;-)
Are you one of those who think he should have just ignored all the medical device and just let a load of extra people die? Genuine question.He was a fine example of financial probity costing the UK £100–£120 billion per year in lost output through his Brexit incompetence.
The threat Labour faces at the next election does not come from Reform or the Tories, it comes from the Greens.To be fair, the public have already passed judgement on Miliband haven't they. Granted my view that they would reject Rayner is only my opinion, but the public has not shown any particular favouritism towards hard left candidates generally.
To be fair, people did find Johnson entertaining and circled the bandwagons every time he made the odd blip or fuck-up. It was only when people realised that they’d been absolutely done over that they stepped back and let other voices come through.He was a fine example of financial probity costing the UK £100–£120 billion per year in lost output through his Brexit incompetence.
Thats not to mention partygate, lying to the Queen, illegal prorogation of parliament, shambolic handling of Covid and the PPE scandal, the Owen Paterson scandal, the Chris Fincher affair........
Sick puppy! You mistake ‘fit’ for gullibility, and that’s not what you want unless you need that type.Truss and Johnson were demonstrably worse than Starmer, although it’s not saying much and at least Truss is fit.
He didn't ignore it but he delayed acting on it, was inconsistent in his actions and his decision making process was totally inadequate. The Covid inquiry will determine if he was legally negligent. At best he was an incompetent when the country most needed an effective leader.Are you one of those who think he should have just ignored all the medical device and just let a load of extra people die?

I can promise you that at no time did I find him entertaining. He was a fucking clown and i don't like them either.To be fair, people did find Johnson entertaining and circled the bandwagons every time he made the odd blip or fuck-up. It was only when people realised that they’d been absolutely done over that they stepped back and let other voices come through.
We all give Johnson praise for his stance on Ukraine, but his chaotic control of government and lack of decision made this country far worse off than it needed to be.
I’m very much of the opinion that we should accept the democratic process and said the same for Johnson. My opinion on him wasn’t high anyway but was willing to see what he would bring. That didn’t last long and his antics had me furious.I can promise you that at no time did I find him entertaining. He was a fucking clown and i don't like them either.
Thanks. You'll not be surprised to hear me say I don't share that perspective.He didn't ignore it but he delayed acting on it, was inconsistent in his actions and his decision making process was totally inadequate. The Covid inquiry will determine if he was legally negligent. At best he was an incompetent when the country most needed an effective leader.
I actually like Streeting with what he’s doing with the NHS. He seems to be very deep into his brief and always comes across well with his understanding of how the NHS works and needs to be reformed.
However, I cannot see him in the PMs position. He doesn’t have the same gravitas on the major issues and it’s probably way to early in his political career.
You are clearly living in a complete echo chamber if you think Starmer is regarded by ‘the public’ as the worst PM in living memory,I refer you to my answer above. Starmer is rightly recognised by the public as the worst PM in living memory. I, like many, think he's a traitor, rotten to the core.
Perma ban please mods.Truss and Johnson were demonstrably worse than Starmer, although it’s not saying much and at least Truss is fit.
