My moneys on Ed Miliband, who I detest anyway but he's such an easy target right now, a veritable sitting duck.

Heaven forbid Keir should attribute the blame to himself no no no.

Milliband. But not Reeves. I think she may have some dirt on him maybe...?

Is Badenoch likely to blame herself???

Not for me I don't think. She inherited an awful role. The Tory brand is completely screwed regardless of the leader

I do think Jenrick is the better communicator though

If he has any sense, which he doesn’t, he’d get rid of Reeves and Streeting

Have to say I don't like Jenrick but he is a better communicator I agree.
As one of the panel today on the election programming he was very strong.

As for Starmer, he's tied himself too much with the plans of Reeves.
I think she's a big problem, being the first female chancellor seems to have gone to her head.
She is who is planning the financial plans obviously and while Prime Minister's usually do abide by their Chancellors directions.
I really think the winter fuel payment awful action plus the welfare cuts plans too.
Are very much HER demands.
I would hold her more responsible for the awful first year.

He really won't be able to change any course unless he changes Chancellor because I can't see Reeves budging an inch.
So if he won't engineer that change I think he'll too continue to fail.
Just as Badenoch will and is failing to register.

I'd more blame Reeves because she also just dismisses the concerns of members, just doesn't seem to even want to listen.
Chancellor's though are the ones usually the most powerful in governments.

Maybe not Reeves, but perhaps that liar Jonathan Reynolds.

Reynolds committed a serious crime calling himself a solicitor for years, when he isn't. :nono:

He's easily booted out.

Starmer's advisers telling him to be "more like Trump" . LMFAO.... I honestly think the main parties just don't get it.
