Keir Starmer

[Gnasher]

Johndon polling more than double that of Starmer .

 

Poll. Who would make best prime minister. Johnson 46% Starmer 22%

 

I'm off to put my head in the oven.

Hopefully you’ve got enough credit in the meter.

Are you offering to top it up?

Now, now.

Although if anyone wants a meter I have several tens of thousands available.

Like I said I’d be up for being more aggressive myself if it was down to me but he’s clearly going for ‘grown up’ politics for want of a better word. Whether it will turn out to be the right strategy I don’t know but I think it’s too early to give him grief over it at the minute. 
 

Here is that Dodds interview from Sunday, starts at 37 minutes. I’d never heard her speak before and It seems pretty good to me what she’s saying.

 

 

Yeah obviously too early to tell, but I think they'll look back on this as a wasted opportunity, and that exit strategy stuff will amount to little. And aside from the politics of it, highlighting government's incompetence at a time like this is the right thing to do anyway when consequences for people at the sharp end are so grave.

 

Agree Dodds seems capable. McDonnell was pretty keen on her, apparently.

Is it too late to get this Not Sure character in?

 

As it happens, Not Sure is almost an anagram of Sturgeon.

Doing well against Raab in PMQs

"I didn't need correcting" ha ha ha.

 

Bossing it.

 

[Rico1304]

“Putting him on notice” was good too.  
 

it’s almost like he’s used to thinking on his feet rather than reading a question from Doris in Dudley.

Rico will be voting Labour at the next election at this rate.

Have to say what a contrast Sir Lindsay Hoyle is in comparison to the self obsessed Bercow as speaker.

Decent start from Starmer

Don't think Johnson will be looking forward to PMQs very much

Be lucky if he attends one in four. Any excuse and he won’t turn up.

The problem for the Tories with people like Starmer is they don't know how to attack. They always play the man and not the ball because labour policies themselves are popular, so it's red ed and his bacon butty or Corbyn with his KGB background and lack of tie.

 

Starmer though where do they go with that? 

 

"Okay Starmer, the respected former QC and knight, you....absolute twat."

 

You  have to read it in the voice of David Mitchell.

It'll be millionaire socialist Keir Starmer or AntiBrexit Starmer or Failed to prosecute Jimmy Saville Starmer ... seen all 3 on Twitter a lot

[Pureblood]

Yep, they'll just play the Brexit card and in any event have a massive majority for the next five years due to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act introduced by one Nick Clegg.  

[Section_31]

Arguably the best hope at the moment is that Murdoch follows through and gets rid of Johnson, he's their MVP. No way Raab or Gove will be able to hold the North.

[sir roger]

Why is Jon Snow dead again ?

[ZonkoVille77]

He must have done well because centrists all over twitter are ripping their collective cocks off.

[sir roger]

Fucking hell,   Turdsy gave Raab the runaround , its hardly a badge of honour is it ?

We will only know if it was good if my fellow lefties are sneering in silence from the sidelines or being needlessly dismissive.
