Yeh. Fortunately, many people are getting wise to selective voting
Grim times, my friend
As low a moral compass? Are you aware of Suella Braverman? Or Rees Mogg? Or Boris Johnson? Or Nadine Dorries? I could go on for ages listing the others (I know some of them aren’t standing at the next election but seriously). I am no fan of Labour’s position on Palestine but let’s be real. The Tories are saying the same and worse.

Could have been a golden chance for Starmer to meet the protestors at the end of their march and thank them and even join them, say a few words etc. Lost opportunity, shows where he is sitting on the affair, finger firmly up arse.

He's a 'kin coward.
Imagine being shown up as less of a man than Macron?
FFS, he's an amoeba.
His defensive game is ok, but needs to show more in the opposition half.

But still not as big a coward as Sunak, that statement he released to today was an embarrassment from the leader of a country.

Yes, but it's expected from a Tory. There's really no excuse when a leader of what used to be the Labour Party fails to unilaterally declare what's happening in Gaza as a genocide and demand it's halted.

Agree completely. As a paid up labour member starmer saddens me to the pit of my stomach. As the nasty right gets louder he gets quieter. Sad.
That was outrageous that statement. Went out of his way to push the focus on Jews feeling scared and name dropping Hamas when it was his Home Secretary's hooligans that got arrested in their dozens. Call an election you coward.

Back on course... Strong leadership wins populism, left in the allotment!

"The latest Opinium polling shows Labour has taken a reputational hit from the splits. Its net score on being seen as united has fallen by 18 points since early October. Its net score as being tolerant is down by 12 points. Meanwhile, the perception of Starmer as a strong leader is 10 points down over the same period."
Labour seen as more divided by voters after tension over conflict in Gaza
The latest Opinium poll shows Keir Starmer’s personal rating has slumped but the Tories are also suffering from internal divisions
These things take time to percolate through but they'll have some effect in some constituencies and none in others. The Former Labour Party will win the next election, but stuff like this might shave a few seats off and leave the Tories with less to do in 2029.
It'll also - as I've said before - rot Starmer's party from within, just as Iraq did with Blair.
Make no mistake about it, Starmer has backed a genocide in Gaza and that will never be forgotten. It'll be hard for him to be credible on just about any issue in future...the only credibility he has is that he's not the Tory leader. But after the election he won't even have that fig leaf.
He either resigns in the next few years before another election of 'Labour' are a one term government.
Nar, the British people will forget all this within 6months."The latest Opinium polling shows Labour has taken a reputational hit from the splits.

You wont, but everybody else will.

That won't be the case. His political enemies won't let him forget it. Just as Blair has never been forgiven for what he did.
It wont affect the next election because the Tories are toxic. But it will the next election after it, and it'll dog his one term in office.
