You're absolutely mental I posted about a rumour, which it still is.

...maybe those fake rumours will be good for the Labour Party and make Starmer think and show a little oooomph and passion...all false information might be false information but not all false information is bad, some can lead to needed change and good things...


While the rumours are false, the speed at which they spread does appear to show some appetite for more change in the Labour party. With the government's handling of the coronavirus so indefensibly bad in every respect, it is understandable that people who have felt neglected by Labour are crying out for a firmer stance in from the opposition.

Will these rumours jolt Starmer into action?

Andy Burnham was my choice all the times he stood.
I've strong admiration for Andy Burnham.

I think he'd have done much better in the election of 2015 too.

the problem that labour have is that Corbyn failed so badly at the last election they are weak and ineffective. Their only effective purpose is when they support the government. Keir can say all the right things now (although i don't think he has) but its all completely meaningless. They have no teeth unless they are on the governments pigtails. Nobody is or will take them seriously until the next election

Yeah, tories pretending not to be tories aren't the best judges of what the labour party needs to do. The idea that losing an election means that you can't have any policies other than rubber stamping the governments agenda, is absolutely ridiculous.

I've never pretended to be labour or a labour representative. I understand when you spend your life supporting tories and tory policies, that equality, fair tax, ending poverty etc, all seems like extremism, whereas the tory government working from the 1970's NF manifesto combined with the 2010 UKIP manifesto are mainstream conservatives.

Give an example of a proposal/policy/manifesto pledge that you considered ' extreme left'.

Keir seems a nice bloke...but he isnt a leader. He has no passion...all he seems to do is predictably moan about everything Boris does...but doesnt seem to have any ideas of his own.

Like Joey and Samm I've a strong affinity for Andy Burnham. He'd make an excellent Labour leader/Prime Minister.

Passion isn't necessarily a requirement - Sir Keir regularly dismantles BoJo at PMQs without breaking sweat, nothing wrong with a clinic approach. Corbyn could have been called passionate I guess, but his PMQs performances were just an old man yelling at clouds. Sir Keir's clinical approach makes BoJo's empty bluster really stand out for what they are.

Looking at Johnson on TV now it looks like someone's messed his hair up even more than usual.
What a sight honestly for a PM.

I agree Starmer has controlled passion.
Passion doesn't have to be shouting your head off.

By his tone he shows the passion he has on issues dear to him.

That's ridiculous , Sir Keir isn't a Blairite. Policy wise he's pretty similar to Corbyn.

So far, I don't mind Keir too much and thats quite a compliment compared to our current cabinet. Blair was on another level, he made me squirm every time I saw him
