But it’s not the policies that have undone Starmer. It’s his character.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Starmer is in the sh!t because Labour's economic policies have failed to revive the corpse which is the British economy.
No one would give a sh!t about who knew what when about some obscure civil service vetting procedure if the economy was bubbling along nicely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Really?
Do you think anyone would really care about who knew what when about some obscure civil service vetting procedure if the economy was bubbling along nicely instead of flat lining? Labour's high income tax, high benefit model just can't compete with other countries. Andy Burnham isn't Harry Potter. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Yes. I've explained upstream that Labour have done ok on a lot of things. He's not under pressure for growth or tax, because most people don't think they're that bad all things considered. He's under pressure becuase of personal failings of judgment, not taking responsibility and trying to cover things up. It's all out there.

Starmer fcked but Labour OK. 3 more years

If labour had any sense, which they don't,they would look to someone like Dan Jarvis.

Everything hangs off the economy and the arse has fallen out of it.

The economy isn't delivering for the workers.
The rich are still getting rich Those on welfare have never been so well off And as Escapee rightly points out the workers have never worked do hard for such a thin slice of the pie. And on top of that next to nothing in the country works. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The economy isn't delivering for the workers.
Not sure if you've been paying attention but it's been that way for nigh on twenty years. It'll take more than two years to turn this mess around. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You cant use the level of the FTSE100 to judge the success of the UK economy given the businesses that make up the index.

By:
I think the FTSE 250 is probably a better one but im not really up on its members these days. Im not making a political point here just pointing out the FTSE 100 is not a good measure given the amount of earnings that come from abroad.
To be fair markets can be pretty irrational at times so using record highs to claim success is pretty senseless anyway and the only person I know who repeatedly does this is Trump. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
It's always done when going up, and seldom when stagnant or slumping.
It's fairly useful for a benchmark on how folks savings/investments might be performing so may be an indicator of public satisfaction... So talk it up if going well... Dont mention otherwise... Positive reinforcement | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Labour figures from across rival factions have begun circulating informal proposals for “orderly transition” of power away from Keir Starmer. Discussions have shifted from speculating about whether PM could be removed to how – including timelines, potential triggers & mechanics of forcing a leadership contest. Starmer is determined to lead Labour into next general election, but allies acknowledge he does not have forever to convince his party - with one source suggesting he had nine months to persuade MPs he can turn things around.

As I hoped, the hapless lame duck will stay until the year end.
He'll need to throw a few more under the bus meanwhile, Reeves next? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Burnham record in Labour leadership elections is abysmal.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
It's a different world for labour now.
Look at the polling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
You don't need to look at the polling, you can feel the failure in the air.
Starmer has been a complete disaster. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
Beyond that polling, onto next set of polls.

Search 'cooking with Angela Rayner' for a good vid.
I gather she was so pished in the commons the other day that she damaged a door | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Carns is the man to watch. Follow the money/power. Anyone who thinks one of the obvious candidates are going to be PM is not looking deep enough.

Interesting thread and having looked through it, one thing troubles me. Can we please as a matter of urgency, round up and section the 3% in the poll that thinks Lammy would do better than Starmer. Yes, Starmer is a sh1tshow and on borrowed time, but come on, things can never be that bad.
