Keir Starmer

[TinFoilHat]

He will get stuck in at least , short honeymoon if one at all, patience required

No chance of a honeymoon.

Beth and Tory K already pushing the line Starmer was elected on a poor vote share and will struggle to unite the country.

Not sure the PM needs to be able to do a foxtrot, but time will tell.

The leader of our Govt would ideally have an ounce of charisma.. Not a necessity but this guy is going to be negotiating deals on our behalf.. he’ll bore people to sleep

He’s not my PM (There wasn’t a decent one available) but I hope he delivers .. Time will tell

I can't be the only person who voted Labour with reluctance. Christian Wakeford was not an appealing candidate, but I wanted rid of the Tories.

Now it is up to Keir Starmer to prove the doubters wrong by doing a bloody good job. I will make allowances for the shitty state this country is in, but I want to see competence, honesty and decency, with respect for the rule of law. It's not asking much.

What I do not expect is everything to be sorted out by next Friday.

Boring is the best thing we can have in politics, having tried X Factor style politics for 8 years.

He is your PM, if you live in the U.K.

All is well with the world, the Post Office have said they're sorry, irishi has said he's sorry. I'm sorry, but that would not be allowed on my watch.

He is because I accept the democratic decision but I didn't play any part in getting him elected...

I hope he proves me wrong...

If you clump all the parties together on either side yea, but I don’t think you can. Labour and Lib Dem voters can be very different depending on the area.

I think it’s pretty clear there isn’t an enthusiasm for labour. Corbyn got more votes in previous elections. As you say it was a vote stop the tories.

Labour and the conservatives have now won large majorities where vast swathes of the public aren’t voting for them.

I guess what I’m saying is yes the desire to get rid of the Tories was absolutely the strongest factor for how people voted, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t enthusiastic about Labour because… and here’s something that I really haven’t seen people say… it’s possible for both of these things to be true. Yet everybody is treating them as mutually exclusive.

Lots of people who voted Lib Dem will be very happy that Labour are in power. Of this I have zero doubt.

Streeting should have gone.

Why?

Ive got several work colleagues who fit this criteria.

Why?

Because he is a smarmy no good **** mate, a horrible little wretch of a man, so far removed from you or I that he deserves to be punted into the sea.

Oh, and he allegedly burnt down that pet shop
