They are polling poorly to my knowledge but as always you never know with our boomer electorate. I want to believe but we'll just have to see.
I VERY much dislike Starmer as he doesn't resonate with my left leanings and also for his archaic drug reform stance but as @ChesterBlue said earlier in this thread, he lacks the cartoonish villainy and incompetence of the current incumbents and so we live in hope I guess.
Anything to get these horrible carts OUT.
And the thick electorate will vote them
back out in 5 years time because “theyve not fixed anything in 5 years”
Agree except in you live somewhere like I dunno south west where a Lib Dem has the best chance of beating a Tory

Well, this is it - and it's why the Tories won't really lose. They've set the agenda and Starmer is too cowardly to break out of the trap.
As long as the UK remains outside the EU - ooh, I see what I did there - then it will never optimise its chances of fulfilling its economic potential.
I'm not British, so I won't tell Brits how to vote, but there's no comparison between the self-serving nasty Tory party and Starmer. That said, if Sir Keir thinks he can rock up in Brussels with another list of cherries to pick - albeit packaged in a more friendly way - then nothing is going to change.
I think it's understandable that he wanted to keep his powder dry to get elected. But when he does, he needs to go gung-ho to restore the UK to its full health, because from what I can see from here in Germany (a country not without its problems), or even Ireland when I visit every few months, the UK is really in a very bad way by comparison. In all sorts of ways.
Starmer needs to grasp the nettle and accept a simple fact: he can never fulfill the UK's potential outside of the biggest trading bloc, richest single market, and most successful supranational entity on the planet. Promising otherwise is to lie to his own people.

Standing there soaking wet like an idiot calling for a general election, 1st minute of campaign and he looks like a loser.

Yeah, that looked awful. He can’t think on his feet. That could have been held indoors or better still an awning could have been ordered earlier in the day. He obviously made the final decision this morning.
Tory line seems to be - Vote for Labour and you don’t know what you’ll get.
As opposed to voting for them, and you know exactly what you’ll get.

The fact that he was the UK’s top lawyer should be one of the reasons he should be championed amongst this endless procession of turds we’ve had to endure.
But it’s the U.K…they seem to prefer posh speaking, inbred second rate journalists like Johnson.
Of course it's an easy choice between those 2 but there are shades of grey between the 2

Think they said it was the last good news expected for a while so he’s jumping on it . Imagine that’s the highlight of your premiership, simply being in power when inflation
As You mentioned the EU I did wonder if amongst other things he’d gone for the early election factoring in the EES checks which are due to be introduced because they aren’t going to be popular
