Keir Starmer

Makes most of the last few pages redundant.
Maybe Liar Johnson has out-charismaed himself with saying that talking about people dying meant Starmer was in a Westminster bubble. (After last week's tone deaf performance, calling Starmer's questions about the rape statistics "jabber".)
Hoist by his own soundbites.

Are you being sardonic?A good night for Starmer
Labour hold Batley and Spen fairly comfortably.
A reduction in the majoriy by 3000 and getting through by just over 300 vote isn't comfortably imho
However it keeps the wolves from the door a while longer.
The bigger worry is over 8000 people in B&S were willing to vote for that dickhead galloway, though it probably saved labour as he will have took tory votes as well as labours
Amid loads of doom for Labour comments, before the result, here's the Express pic to go with the result.

How will he have taken Tory votes? Unless you think Batley's Tory voters are so thick that they voted for Galloway to get "Starmer out".Are you being sardonic?

What are you on about, how you read that into my post is beyond me.
Labours vote down 7%
Tories down 1.6%
Both have been attributed to prople choosing to vote the workers party, so for any labour vote lost to galloway some tory ones were too, that fine line will have slightly impacted both parties and so tory voted lost to him helped labour get a small majority.
Never said or speculated people voted to gallowway to get starmer out, not even crossed my mind, if I had thought that way, the tory vote comment wouldn't be necessary or even be part of my comments.
Congratulations Kim, tight but I'm so pleased as a labour win
Labour: 13,296
Conservative: 12,973
Workers Party: 8,264
Lib Dem: 1,254

It’s great news that that **** Galloway failed to bring down Starmer and that the Tories also lost votes after everyone predicted the opposite.
Did you not know Galloway's main pitch was "Starmer out"?What are you on about, how you read that into my post is beyond me.

So Tory voters voted for the Palestinian flag waving Galloway to get Labour to change its leader? Does not compute.
It's a bad result for the Tories as they did not pick up the Brexit voters (8000 last election voting for Brexit Party or the "heavy woollen independents" aka UKIP). If they saw the Brexity Galloway as better than the Tories, that is not good for the Tories.
Labour could start a samisdat "Tories not Brexity enough" party to take Tory votes.

Again I am not arsed or on about galloways agenda and purpose, and was not even part of my reply to Rascal
I just pointed out that some of the 8000+ were people who once deciding to not vote labour would have more likely switched to the tory party as we have seen across the north and midlands, but due to the workers party presence didn't, so potential tory votes lost alongsode lost labpur votes.
I never said traditional tory voters in B&S voted for galloway.
On a side note anyone who would base their vote on the presence of a palestinian flag either in a pro or anti stance is really quite sad an individual in my opinion, but tgat is adifferent debate not necessary to the starmer thread
