That’s fair enough - he’s obviously an entirely more plausible option than Corbyn and Miliband and I was never a fan of Brown, although his speech in the Scottish referendum campaign was one of the best I’ve ever seen to be fair to him.
I’m simply making the point that Starmer’s approval ratings are unusually low given the broader party polling - particularly amongst women - and that should be a concern for him, even if it doesn’t stop him from winning next year. My personal view, and I’ve been of this opinion for some time, is that he’ll probably face a leadership challenge after a couple of years in power as he’ll find it very difficult to satisfy the left of his party, and an apparent lack of broader popularity only increases that risk.
Should just bring them back. It seems all the rage at the moment.The Labour Party do have a problem with the far left. There’s a certain contingent who only support Hamas and want to nationalise cheese but hopefully he is a strong enough leader to keep them at bay.
He needs some strong attack dogs though. Blair had Mandelson and Campbell.

"Personality" brought us Boris fucking Johnson.“Personality” is rock bottom of the things I give a fuck about in politics.
But I’m a boring centrist who despises far left and far right populism.
Just get a grown up in who can actually think properly and do the job.

I’d have to listen to what he stands for these days, but he lead the country better than anyone else in the past 30 years.Not a popular opinion on here I’m sure but I’d have Tony Blair back tomorrow.
You'll get him back next year. In the form of Sir Keir's Kidz after the next general election.Not a popular opinion on here I’m sure but I’d have Tony Blair back tomorrow.
Still, it’s not all bad. The three people that generally post in here can recycle the same memes for a bit longer.You'll get him back next year. In the form of Sir Keir's Kidz after the next general election.
50+ new MPs just out of university fully indoctrinated by the Blair Foundation in how to run People's lives without actually having any life experience.
Uncle Tony knows best. Like any good Cult leader.
