    well said. we don't need an entertainer or celebrity as PM, we need a solid bloke who knows right from wrong and who will work for the country as opposed to for his media profile and future career as the current shitshow of Tory government are doing.

    Working class dads aren’t the most expressive when it comes to telling their kids they love them but often their love is the deepest and most sincerest. I really feel sorry that he was unable to develop a better relationship with him. Keir seems like a very reserved person and that can make it difficult to express honest feelings to others in their lives especially when it comes to fathers from that generation who kept their feelings buttoned up

      Yes until Israel tells him to do or say anything, Keith will not do or say anything.

    I am totally cynical about the punch and Judy of English politics, but I am not sold at all on Starmer, like all politicians, he is a liar.

      Certainly is. 4 attempts so far to define a woman and no apology to Rosie Duffield. Women can't trust him.

    From this interview it seems he’s saying that the big thing about Starmer is that he doesn’t pretend to have easy answers to hard questions. If that’s true, then he might be the best person for the job of PM. The interview panel (the electorate) is not entirely reliable in making such a nuanced choice.

    These changes he made to the party really weren’t that radical. He was reverting to policies more or less consistent with the Blair years.

    Starmer is another Blair clone. He doesn't have an original thought in his body.

    Very funny. Starmer's the bloke who thinks a bloke can grow a cervix. I don't know what you're smoking but if you think that passes for critical thinking I suggest it's not helping.
