Current Affairs The Labour Party

[JimmyJeffers]

He's had open goal after open goal to destroy Johnson over the COVID debacle and has missed virtually everyone of them.
He's crap at the despatch box. Johnson runs rings around him virtually every week.
He has no real idea what he or the party stand for or what they want to stand for.
He's a poor mans Tony Blair. The current government cabinet members are less
than useless and he can't even land a blow. Just not up to it IMHO.

I’m not overly keen on him but don’t agree with a lot of these points. I think he has been extremely critical of government Covid handling. Not sure what more he can do. I’d like him to show more anger and outrage but doubt that would do much good tbh.
A matter of opinion of course, but Johnson certainly does not run rings around him every week. Johnson just comes out with sound bites and bluster and ends up doing what Starmer proposed should happen in the first place.
Have to agree that Labour appear to be having an identity crisis of sorts as can be evidenced by a lot of the posts on here. Some are celebrating centrism whereas others, like myself, are feeling politically abandoned.
Having the majority of the press against you doesn’t help matters either like.

No one gives a toss or even watches PMQs anyway and I'll bet the majority of people profess that they are not interested in politics.
Bread and circuses, dead cat strategies, deflecting from the very real damage being done by bozo and his corrupt tory chums.
Seems to me there is no credible alternative/opposition being put forward at the moment

I think a lot of people do take a passing interest in the performance of the two leaders at PMQ's.
But you are 100% correct about no credible alternative. It is badly needed. The lack of talent
and ability of the current ministers is genuinely scary.

I think that pretty well covers it, apart from his charisma bypass.......

Jesus every opportunity, bit rich I think, seeing as you have the second biggest idiot in the world, (I'll give you Trump was the first), running your party. There are more things in life than tax cuts Pete.

Sorry, but I really don’t rate Starmer.....

The rapist and torturer's friend is coming forward with actual policy.

Probably phoning Blair, Brown and Mandelson.

Pete your a life long Tory set in his ways, I'm the complete opposite, it is what it is.

No mate, I only voted Labour until Thatcher arrived......but I take your point.....

Which to be fair is going very well.....

Tis.

But by the time an election comes round, it will be irrelevant.

And feck all to do with bozo and his corrupt mates in private industry...thankful we have the NHS to organise the programme, which they have done well.
Of course bozo, being a lying toad will claim the credit....nobody should trust a tory.
