yes. hence why Starmer would be a suitable leader.

...I don’t mind Starmer, he really knows his Brexit brief and is very well rounded. I just think Labour now need something fresh and perhaps a female.

Rachel Reeves isn’t from the TU background, she’s a top economist and leads a Parliamentary Standing Committee.
 
It’s as a lot of people have said - actual, living breathing people have been ignored.

I know people that have been lifelong Labour supporters who refused to vote for Corbyn and his menagerie. 3 years at least of which Anti Semitism hung over them. It took Phillip Schofield to actually get an apology out of Corbyn.

The level of self-employment has gone up, but the manifesto treated all businesses the same (albeit with lower corporate tax rates for companies with a laughably small turnover) as massive b’stards.

The giveaways seemed dated - free broadband might have won votes 15 years ago, uni educations have been exposed as not being all they were cracked up to be.

Huge companies were targeted for tax, but not the bloke who everyone in smaller communities knows who works cash in hand.

You have a generation that have lived on payday loans - they understand that somewhere down the line you get shafted for borrowing.

If Labour want to win the next election they need to be relevant. There needs to be answers rather than just throwing more money at issues. It needs to speak to real people.
 
Get in bed with Murdoch so the press don't annihilate you ? I know that's not the only reason he got elected but it sure was a big one.

pro-business policies, and tragically also pro-poodling with US.

i personally preferred Corbyn's Labour over Johnson's Tories because, among other things, i felt that would result in less pandering to poisonous US foreign politics.

Rachel Reeves, vice chair of Labour Friends of Israel who once promised to run a tougher benefits regime than the Tories and uses the language of Tommy Robinson in regard to immigration?

No thanks. Not for me.
 
I'm not continuing debating with you mate, you haven't got a scooby doo what you are talking about.

why a female? i'm all for equal opportunities, and UK has had two Tory female PM's...but i think the candidate should be judged on merit rather than an election-losing box-ticking exercise.
