Keir Starmer

[Magicpole]

OP. Can you change the name of this thread to a more appropriate one.

Final Nail Starmer.

That's my new name for the useless ****. He is the final nail in a Labour coffin full of them. His speech today was beyond pitiful. A disastrously handled pandemic. The Brexit Chicken now home and roosting gloriously. The economy bust. Billions given to Tory crooks and he's behind Johnson in the polls. His Branch office here in Scotland even worse, I shit you not. So, come on, give him.and this thread the name that reflects both him and the party he leads.

Mathew, I've just set out my vision of a new chapter for Britain's economy. A future built on the values of opportunity and security for families and businesses.


There can be no return to business as usual. As we emerge from the pandemic, this must now be a moment to think again about the country that we want to be.


In a speech earlier today, I announced that Labour would forge a new contract with the British people, introducing British Recovery Bonds to give households a stake in our country's future and a role in creating the infrastructure of tomorrow.


Together, we would invest in a new generation of British entrepreneurs by providing start-up loans for 100,000 businesses, making sure support and opportunity is spread across the country.


Coronavirus has pulled back the curtain on the deep inequalities and injustices in Britain, a result of a failed ideology that weakened Britain's foundations and left us exposed to the pandemic.


This is no time for a second wave of austerity or tax rises on businesses and families.


Reversing Tory cuts to Universal Credit, properly funding local councils, giving our key workers the pay rise they deserve - there is a real alternative to Boris Johnson's approach.


And as Labour members, we must share that secure, prosperous new chapter for Britain under Labour with our friends, families and communities.


Under my leadership, Labour will equip Britain for the opportunities of the future.

The bonds are about dealing with now post covid not a look to the future and were sugested by the new northern tory group a few weeks back

Hence starmer cannot affect this anyway.


The loan scheme is jsut a rehash of microcredit, which is still unproven if it actually helps people climb out of poverty or adds to their debts.


So yeah unerwhelmed as nothing I haven't heard before.

Much better here being questioned on C4. Maybe speeches aren’t his thing.

To be fair to him it must be hard giving a speech to an empty hall. There was nobody there to listen and therefore nobody from which to gauge reaction from. I have tried giving talks over Zoom and its just not the same as having people in the room, because you stay on script, with people in the room, you can judge the mood and ad lib, throw in anecdotes and go off on tangents, in other words make it interesting.

As much as the god bothering "social conservative" halfwit keeps banging on about Corbyn, we have moved on from there and we need a Labour leader that shows some passion and some instinct for what appeals not just to the right of the party. He could throw the left a bone and then as usually happens the left will fall in behind him because he is a better option than the fucking clowns we have destroying the country at the moment. He seems determined though to ostracise the left completely and although the likes of the god bothering halfwit continually dismisses the left he has no real understanding of the left and why they would back Starmer if he chose to embrace the left rather than dismiss the left.
