Isnt he a Sir?

[arista]

Isnt he a Sir?


Yes he is
Do you want it on the title?

[Kizzy]

I actually don't mind him, he would've lost at this election on his brexit stance too though so why that makes him a better bet than Corbyn I don't know.

Removing the truth
from his Wikipedia page
has now poisoned him...................

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes he is
Do you want it on the title?

Yes he has been honoured by the Queen

[arista]

Yes he has been honoured by the Queen



OK I will Stick it on the Title

[Oliver_W]

It's a shame he felt the need to do that, nothing wrong with millionaires.

[Cherie]

madness, and makes him look dishonest, the Northern working class just voted a millionaire male into power, but Labour seem obsessed with needing a working class, Northern woman as a leader

Sir Keir Starmer, the early frontrunner
in the race to succeed Jeremy

[Oliver_W]

Hmm, he's better than a Corbynite, but I'm not sure I can see him helping to enjoy rebuild the Red Wall...

[Parmy]

He won't be now he has no power, but at least he's being honest I suppose. :joker:

[Scarlett.]

What an absolute villian, editing a Wikipedia thing is literally the worst thing a politician can do

[Twosugars]

I know.

Running scared labour will elect a capable leader to oppose bojo the lying clown :laugh:

Bring on bojo's premiership ( once he finishes partying and can be arsed to govern that is)

[Cherie]

He is now the favourite to get the job, at least they are drawing back on ...it has to be a female northerner by gum

[Parmy]

I hope he don't gel his hair to look like that Cherie. ..That's a mid life crisis imo

[Cherie]

He looks like my old boss

[Parmy]

Just don't get him drunk you never know when he might burst into, my sex is on fire.

[Oliver_W]

it's fine if the next labour leader is a Northern woman - as long as she wasn't part of an all woman shortlist.

[Kizzy]

Is he really? And who's favourite is he ...the press?

He was a fervent remainer so not favoured by the leave voting ex labour voters.
He's not a Corbynites so not in that camp
Where is his support base?

[Samm]

The anti labour media campaign by the british press has already started then

[Twosugars]

It's been going on for a while. The country is governed by press barons.
The sheep follows

To be fair it's pretty slim pickings.

[Cherie]

What’s wrong with a remainer, maybe if Jeremy had actually come out as remain he might have garnered more support, his wishy washy stance sunk him

Anyhoo it’s just media tattle at the moment, where do most people get their news from. ..err the media

[Swan]

Is a rich straight white male or cis male really what Labour supports want? I checked the betting odds, he's the pretty clear favourite.

Sounds perfect

Why shouldn't he be? :shrug:

[Swan]

Why shouldn't he be? :shrug:

Well he may be too privileged to understand the plights of others.

[Oliver_W]

Well he may be too privileged to understand the plights of others.

The only privilege that still exists is wealth privilege, and admittedly he has that in spades. I don't know enough about the other prospective candidates to comment on their wealth, but they all seem well off?

[Kizzy]

Is it? I thought there were some wonderful MPs on the Labour front benches, are they not sanctioning enough austerity measures for you..what makes a good leader?

[James]

Being rich and a Sir is not something that would necessarily count against him with the public. Most people don't care about that.

The only way being wealthy might harm his political chances is if he was seen to be against aspiration and denying opportunities he took advantage of.

The main problem he has got though is winning back trust among Leave voters, when he was one of the main drivers of changing Labour's policy to another referendum.

[Twosugars]

Like bojo you mean

[bots]

i think labour will go in to a transition period if/when Corbyn steps down. I don't therefore think the next leader is important, it will be the one after that needs to be the right person for the job,

Yes so Dumb of Labour
to ignore Labour Leave Voters
5million of them or more

[Oliver_W]

Anyone who's vocally been Leave or Remain will have trouble winning over the other half. Whoever wants a chance of winning the leadership should focus on actual aims and policies instead of Brexit.

I can’t see that it makes any difference, by the time the next election comes round people may be clamouring to rejoin :shrug: This was the Brexit election, the next one won’t be

[Swan]

Like bojo you mean

Yes, like Johnson.
