Starmer

It's difficult to understand how you consider it a debate? Just one example. So some people have carers visit their home daily out of necessity, due to for example being infirm or disabled. They need to be washed, fed, lifted etc. How do you think those carers get to other peoples' homes to deliver this necessary care?

Rees Mogg and Starmer the most competent politicians we have imo
the most responsibility Moggie's ever had was working out Nanny's annual increase to her stipend |

Didn't take the pm long to completely nail captain forensic then  |
|
By:
Starmer having his questions answered by Hancock was the best bit.
|
|
By:
Nope, the best bit was definitely captain forensic being put back in his box.
|
|
By:
Lol, what coverage were you watching? Here is Boris with his ventriloquist Hancock...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-52733676 Go to 13.28. |

By:
Thanks for the link, I try not to use the bbc website wherever possible. In this instance I watched PMQ's live. in full so there is no need.

Didn't take the pm long to completely nail captain forensic then You must have a very poor image of the fat buffoon if you think that qualifies as a success |

By:
The speaker mugged Johnson off when he brought it to everyone's attention that Hancock was trying to prompt him.

You must have been watching a different PMQ.

Starmer won the day rightly enough but he did appear a bit confused for one brief moment when Johnson had a go about his negativity and he replied that 35,000 wasn't neg..er is negative.
|
|
By:
Most of the recent ones Corbyn was asking the questions on behalf of the opposition, difference was he wasn't feigning
|
|
By:
I don't understand how his aides think that it is a good look for Johnson always to appear as if he's just been dragged through a hedge backwards, is it an attempt to portray him as a sleeves rolled up getting down and dirty with the ordinary man on the street sort of thing.
 |
|
By:
Ordinary men over 25 have that kind of hairdo in the UK?

By:
Ray Allan Hancock did a fair job of operating Lord Snooty though.

Boris, like most Western leaders apart from Trump, enjoyed high opinion poll ratings in the first few weeks of the virus situation. He is being found out now though, his approval ratings are in freefall and the last poll I saw had Starmer more popular than him.
|
|
By:
Starmer forces Johnson to say track and trace will be up and running 1 june.
1 hour after pmqs it is confirmed the tracing app being developed by Cummings mate Will not be ready If that's a good look for Johnson then some folk are easy pleased. |

Starmer is getting Bojo to make promises each time they duel. A shame the Speaker did not ask Hancock t step-up and answer for Bojo instead of prompting him unsuccessfully. I think Starmer will make mincemeat of Hancock, if so.
Bojo since becoming Prime Minister and esp during this pandemic in PMQ against Starmer has almost foregone his bluster and mocking of his opposite number at the Despatch Box. I think the persona of Bojo serves a purpose. It distracts his opposition and lulls them into a false sense of superiority. But, will it work with Starmer who's still lacking political experience and combat at the Despatch Box nevertheless, more than an equal match with Bojo, and with a proven intelligence to boot too in the near future? |

The last update in the leader net approval ratings above from the company Opinion (13-14 May) have Boris at +10 and Starmer at +24.
|
|
By:
Johnson forced into lies at pmqs to maintain his image
It's money in the bank for a future date |
|
By:
Starmer is not the pm, and a long shot he will ever be the pm. His approval rating as an oppo leader is literally irrelevant. Boris was +6% with Opinium on 13 March and as you've noted +10% on 14th May. Still higher, as I noted. Even Boris wasn't going to maintain approval ratings of +29% or so as the country faces up to the realities of unwinding out of lockdown.

Think you can still get 2.75 with Fred.

By:
I was referring to the true price, 3.0 on betfair absolute madness
What a lay, but I have no appetite for locking up liquidity for years. His approval rating as an opposition leader remains irrelevant. |
|
By:
Next pm offers the chance Boris resigns and money is gone on Starmer if tories replace Johnson without election.
Starmer to be pm at any point is probably about 5/6 without thinking too deeply about it. |
|
By:
Happy to tie up money long term on long shot prices if they put a market up
Longshot 16/1 ish, ta |
|
By:
The Tories would just have a leadership election. That Starmer price is absolute bonkers, though I must admit I never looked at the market as I have no interest in playing next pm right now.

For me Boris will have much more to worry about from Rishi. Genuinely. But not for a number of years. I feel he's brilliant personally, and not just because he's had to give a lot of money away.
|

By:
Sunak is celebrated whilst he gives money to the masses ... there will be a reckoning though which won't be well received ... we'll find out how good he is then!
|
|
By:
How good does anyone need to be who is married to a billionaires daughter?
He is merely playing politics to keep himself out of mischief...  |
|
By:
It would be folly to put it down to the giveaway. He is very close to being, if not the strongest politician I've seen. Clearly righting the economic ship is going to be an extremely tough challenge but we have the best person for the job.

By:
Very easy when you are playing with other peoples money . The acid test is when you are putting your own stash on the line .
|
|
By:
Playing with other peoples money is kind of a fundamental part of being the chancellor of the exchequer

I was impressed by Rishi long before he became chancellor. Let's see how it plays out.
