Keir Starmer

Starmer can’t say anything like he will eliminate homelessness until he’s looked at the books, but he can call out Braverman on taking tents off homeless people and the divisive/dangerous one liners she makes.
He can do it in emails asking for money, yet he doesn't do it in parliament.

Starmers hands are tied the opposition have a huge majority voted for by the public if he wants to be elected PM then he walks a tightrope with the press.
My personal opinion I would prefer him to be elected, than anything the Tories have on offer.
 
This is the Spursy moment that will lose him a majority.

That will be why he and Labour are still rising in the polls will it?

Two reasons I can say your analysis is wrong -

1/ He needs to win back those red wall seats that went Tory. They went Tory on Brexit and immigration fears. Given that Labour are shedding pro-HAMAS Muslim councillors that makes Labour - in the gammon eyes - a more attractive proposition.

2/ Whilst a few councillors quit as does a Shadow Front Bencher nobody has heard of quits and we have Owen Jones banging on all that is happening in a void because Starmer is protected by Sunak's nemesis in Suella Braverman who is hogging the headlines - stoking internal Party divisions and also public division whist Badenoch is said to be looking to come through the middle and take Sunak's job. Its chaos there and is a total distraction from what is a minor squabble by comparison in Labour. Braverman is Starmers best attack dog right now.
 
Sounds reason enough to vote for Starmer and Labour. I mean, do you want to keep living under the worst government in living memory?
I have a real issue with negative democracy, voting least worst is not how democracy should work and that is how it is panning out at the moment.

If somebody like myself can not vote for a party that i believe has the countries and of course my own interests at heart then I have to question if we actually live in a democracy at all. Basically people become disenfranchised, by that I mean i would be voting for policies I do not believe in for the wrong reasons. It really is no wonder voter apathy and turnouts are becoming an issue.

Starmer has a golden opportunity to embrace the whole of the left, yet he seems terrified of doing so and i think that is showing. Last summer 2022 he was 20 points ahead at the polls according to Britain Elects, that is now down to around 10 points. Its gone from 54-26 to 46-28 still a healthy lead, but! yes but! if he continues to alienate the left, refuse to call for a ceasefire, back down on more of his pledges that lead could well disappear and the tories as the incumbents and with boundary changes a Labour win is by no means certain.

Starmer claims to be a Socialist, why does he not have the balls to show it?

Yeah, he should be focusing on how she prefers to attack the homeless rather than attack the issue of homelessness.
