Is that Starmer or Paddy Ashdown in your picture?

 

Aye

Nice of the BBC headline that Corbyn is at the Labour event. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

The man is an absolute fanny.

I've voted labour all my life

 

If there was a general election tomorrow I'd genuinley vote green

 

Same. I’d still vote Labour but it would be the closest I’ve ever been to not doing so. 
 

If I did give my vote elsewhere, I’d vote Green as well. As it is, I’m still hopeful that Labour can find their way towards being a credible opposition with policies I truly believe in.

Just made myself a camomile tea. Let’s see what he’s got to say.

 

I suspect I’ll neither be underwhelmed or overwhelmed. 

[Bjornebye]

My vote only goes to Labour because they are the closest to getting the tories out. 

[Bjornebye]

"Level up? You can't even fill up"

[YorkshireRed]

He’s getting a right old heckling. Dealing it with ok. Of course, he needs more than words to heal the divisions in the party. 

[Bjornebye]

Yep, getting very dicey this. Not a good look at all for Labour. Fuck sake

You missed the Blair and Kinnock years?

 

This is horseplay in comparison.

Listening to this speech we could be back in the Blair years.

Compared to what is on offer now from the Tories, that’s Utopia. 
 

Managed to catch the Education, Care and economic growth elements of his speech. Can’t see anything wrong with any of that. 
 

The mental health stance is one I am right behind. And especially in schools. 

[YorkshireRed]

His wife’s fit. I’m onboard.

I’ve said from the start a coalition would be a reasonable outcome, a majority never that’s for yesteryear.

 

I think it’ll be on how bad the Tories are and not on him though so that’s with the fates.

[Bjornebye]

Laura Pidcock not having any of Starmers speech. 

[sir roger]

Never mind all that , why has Stronts got Roy Hodgson as his avatar ?

[Bjornebye]

This 'Accessibility steward" with the glasses on who has managed to get himself behind every guest for full tv exposure is giving me massive Richard Jewell vibes 

[Bruce Spanner]

The woman who was heckling is a Socialist Workers Party member who stood against a Labour member at recent election and shouldn't have been allowed in.

 

Skullduggery!

[Bjornebye]

Leanne Battersby there now 

[Red Phoenix]

I can't even take him seriously any more. He lied to become Labour leader and what he's saying now is probably a pack of lies to become PM. Even if a lot of what he's saying is true though, it's his other plans, what he isn't telling us that'll be the problem. I was reading what he'd been saying on the Guardian for a bit then I wondered what the point was and closed the page.

 

Looking forward to having my vote wasted at the next election (I'd vote Green in David Davis' constituency), the trade unions seem fine with that too after their vote against PR here so that's also great.

 

This post turned out more depressing than I thought it would too, UK politics sucks.

Well, we've got a PM that lies and got voted in because he lies. Maybe Starmer is on to something now.

Yeah it's probably stupid to expect anything different. I still miss Corbyn too so this was always going to suck really.

Unfortunately people need to forget Corbyn with regards to Labour
