Starmer is like Johnson, nothing he says any more surprises me.

He’s got to be a Tory plant surely. Absolutely staggering that he has taken a social Democratic Party which young Europe supporting voters flocked to after the Brexit shambles and has turned the once great party into a pale imitation of Johnson’s Tories. Nothing he utters surprises me anymore either

As a father of three, "young Europe supporting voters" I'd say that they and their pals are pretty much committed to Labour as the 'least worst' option.  Seems to be a theme right through Britain ATM.

Not in Scotland it isn't and only one of us stays here.

Ooooft, calm yer jets.  I've been on the 'next Scotland manager' thread enough to know that choosing the 'least worst' option is definitely a thing 'up there' too.

But crack on with your 'not living in Scotland' tripe.

There is no basis in fact for this.

Are you somehow compromised?

Merely anecdotal projection on a sample size in its teens.

Hardly.  I've been bigging up the fragrant Sarah Green - our local MP and a LibDem - to no avail.

Oh for some Labour politicians with Robin Cooks ability today 

 

 

 

 

There are few MPs that I have real admiration for.  Robin Cook was one.

ETA he is the sort of MP that Starmer would not want on the Labour benches.

Remember when Starmer was saying things like this, along with his 10 leadership pledges which have all been abandoned?

Imagine the media outcry about Stalinism if another Labour leader had presided over this.

If you ever wish to inform yourself on how enthusiastically Blair's Government signed up for America's crusade in Iraq get a copy of 'Blair's Wars' by John Kampfner.

I haven't voted Labour since.

Neither have I, but what realistic options do voters in England have?

FOMO is ruining my life. 

Whenever I smell cannabis I'm just jealous I've got none.

When he comes out with pish like that it just reminds me why I would never vote for him.

Corbyn sponsored a decriminalisation bill in 2000.

Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of Pie and Bovril, copying and pasting as you browse through Elon's corridors.
