Doubt it.Tories rejoice as Starmer is elected.
He was by far the most credible candidate and is best placed to hold the government to account and steer the party away from the disastrous direction that Corbyn had taken it.

Time to give him a go.
I'm all for uniting the party. Let's see how he goes.
His speech is more prime ministerial than Boris that's a good start.

Despite his remain stance he is without doubt the best candidate for the job and i hope he drags the party back towards a left of centre stance that is proven as electable.
That said i genuinely fear for him as his enemies within will not be going anywhere fast and they will be all out to topple him and to install their own man/woman again.

As a Conservative voter I am pleased that Starmer has won. He is a mainstream politician & not a back to the 70s socialist nutter like Corbyn. Long-Bailey would have been Corbyn-Lite.

I am a staunch Tory however government always requires a credible opposition and that is what Starmer will bring.

Good appointment, but how long until the great unwashed are convinced that Kier Starmer is a member of the taliban, a Russian bot and the creator of the Coronavirus?

To show unity could be an idea for Boris to invite him into the Cobra meetings as leader of the opposition.

Was always going to happen,and probably the best choice though if he appoints reeves as shadow chancellor as expected then I wil be less impressed.

Id be more worried about the comrades labelling him as a Tory.
Just read his top 5 policy proposals. There's plenty in there that will upset all his Tory fanboys on here.
He's certainly far to the left of Blair. Nationalising trains, power etc. No illegal wars. Reversal of corporation tax cuts. Raising tax for the wealthiest 5%.
It's not Marxism,but come the next election the Tory press will be saying it is.
Seems a decent bloke so good luck to him.

People can get behind those policies so long as he doesn’t go supermarket sweep like the last fucking idiot and somehow manages to gag the god awful Rayner he will do okay.

i honestly thought it was posted by "Citizen Smith". i genuinely pmsl when reading it. how can intelligent people believe that shit?The Delusion never goes away does it?
Anyone calling others "Comrade" needs to give their head a serious wobble!
That terminology belongs in the 1930's as does your preferred left wing ideology.

Momentum have already tweeted they will hold him to account on his promises.Despite his remain stance he is without doubt the best candidate for the job and i hope he drags the party back towards a left of centre stance that is proven as electable.

The Labour war continues unabated.
