Long game

Long game is all well and good but I think many people have wanted to see some form of display of anger and passion from him due to the ineptitude and actions of the front bench.

Yeah.. I just don't think he has that unfortunately and if he tried he would look ridiculous

Why? Not a crime to disagree with his "views and "policies" Corbyn was hounded out by the right wingers in his own party, aided and abetted by the MSM.
He was not strong enough as a leader to rebutt the accusations levelled at him.
What vision does Keith have? Enlighten me because I ain't seen anything yet.
Even the lying twunt Bozo won the election purely on "Get Brexit Done"

When you ask a question then do the answers yourself it’s pretty telling. Change right for left, Corbyn for Starmer. Same tripe, different day.

Tbh as one of those dirty, dirty swinging voters I think Starmer is doing exactly the right thing. We don’t need the amateur dramatics from a politician to tell us the current government is doing a bad job.

Country being led by a death cult and Starmer still handing them his backing on schooling.

Labour Party members who put this feller in - hang your heads in shame.

According to the latest polls Labour will win back 80 odd seats, giving them power if they entered into a coalition with the SNP

Price of power would be another Scottish independence referendum, would Starmer go for that ?

Be a funny one as independence would then mean there would be no coalition. Would be suicide.
The SNP would ideally want an independence vote when the tories are in power. If labour are in I can’t see the vote passing.

If he did his majority would go , if the jocks voted to leave not much point in doing that?

The SNP may shelve the vote also in that scenario as they could wangle favourable dealings.
Anyways, to early to even think about just yet. Labour need a stronger voice in Scotland again and this can happen. They just need the right person to deliver it.

Not being an idiot?

Being the headline grabbing idiot clown is all good when everything is fine.
People soon tire of it when it's a loved one being denied treatment and put or left in nursing to die, or that carefully planned mortgage and car debt is spiralling out of management because furlough or no job ain't covering it.

Hello opposition are you still around?

The country is going to the dogs and you are nowhere to be seen or heard!

Just invoke foaming snarling response that Labour are undermining protest party from Print and TV media, happily regurgitated here and every social media outlet overwhelmingly in awe of Conservatism and Johnson until purdah of the next election.
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence or followed his career path knew Johnson was not fit for high office, he is everything and then some more I thought he would be, just an educated fool, encapsulated and promoted by British cronyism. Take the medicine of democracy and swallow, round 2023 is the cycle of manifestos...

From the times. And the pertinent information as its behind the dreaded paywall. Unlikely Labour would win a majority at this point, but after 1 year in of worst government the country has ever seen, a fall from the position that should have meant to a generation of Conservative Government, to hung parliament in a year...

CON: 284 (-81)
LAB: 282 (+80)
SNP: 57 (+9)
LD: 2 (-9)
OTH: 25 (+1)


Tories have work to do to fix wobbling red wall, latest poll suggests | News | The Sunday Times (thetimes.co.uk)
