Keir Starmer

Keith the comeback kid.

Starmers arsehole must have squeaked with relief.

Are you being sardonic?


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

It was a.good night considering the Tories were 1/10 to win it and no one thought Labour were going to come out on top. Regarding Torys getting Galloways votes when a majority of these were interviewed they categorically said never.

Nailed it. Having watched some more interviews of her, she does across pretty much as described by @west didsblue, but people make assumptions about her based on her voice and mistake her assertive and passionate defence of her beliefs and party policy for rudeness.

Hopefully some time in the future this stuff won't be a barrier but because it currently is, she shouldn't be labour leader.

As Shadow Education Secretary I was disappointed Labour couldn’t choose an MP capable of knowing how to use was / were correctly. She’s an absolute liability.

A good night for Starmer

Labour hold Batley and Spen fairly comfortably.

“fairly comfortably”? Do you work for Pravda?

I never said tory voters voted for him, is it that hard to understand.

I said he took votes away form labour and in the semse of the tories, voters that may have turned to them

i wondered how much the majority was reduced, BBC breakfast conspicuously left this little detail out of their reporting. Hardly a massive endorsement of Starmer. I suspect the result means Labour will struggle along a bit longer with him in charge before he is sacked than they would have if the Tories had won by 300.

I doubt very much he got too many tory votes. Galloway was purely going for the islamic labour vote, same as did round us (apparently his bellend bus was out and about there too, with his oh so big and hard "election helpers". mega ****).

I suspect there's smashed cups against the wall in Raynor's house this morning.

She has a limited vocabulary and her mannerisms don't show her in her best light. I've never been her biggest fan, but as I said I have watched her in interviews and she does come across better than some would assume.
