Keir Starmer's time is up

[Jeff Robinson]

Allow Mi5 to torture, rape and murder with impunity - abstain!

Allow British soldiers abroad to torture, rape and murder with impunity - abstain!

Raise corporation tax - steady on, there are red lines that can't be crossed.

I'm sure there's probably some perfectly sensible and dull explanation as to why Paul Mason has "normal" under his name, but I enjoy how it feels like a desperately unconvincing custom title or something.

Blue tick seems appropriate, too.

This is Starmer's banner on twitter. Yeah mate, the vaccine is being rolled out already. Good union jack tho

 

[Knotted]

That just looks like he's trying to take credit for it. He really makes my skin crawl.

Why just Britain? Does he not want to vaccinate NI too?

He is getting very keen on describing anyone who disagrees with him as tankies

Starter has nothing other than calling for more, earlier.

Former head of IPPR (so hardly a radical)

Rishi Sunak is no George Osborne: this was not an austerity budget. The chancellor promised to keep spending by extending the furlough scheme to the end of September and expanding support for the newly self-employed, alongside a package of support for businesses including grants, cheap loans, and tax relief. Perhaps most significantly, Sunak announced a new super-deduction for business investment over the next two years, worth some £25bn.

The chancellor has been prepared to continue the colossal expansion in government spending, and to challenge his own party by setting out future tax rises on big business with a rise in corporation tax from 19% to 25% in two years’ time. The contrast with the timid demands set out in Keir Starmer’s speech last month – a recovery bond, retaining the £20 uplift in universal credit (which the chancellor promised to do, albeit temporarily), and no increases in council tax – was striking.

Starmer has nothing other than calling timidly suggesting more less, earlier, at some point in the future, if that's ok?

ffy

or more of less

or less of more

it depends what the question is and which focus group he has asked most recently

I might be reading too much into this, but do you reckon that flag is the result of him sitting down with his consultants, going "how can I effectively reach out to my target audience of nationalist flag-shaggers, while also generating an sense of authentic values alignment with them mad commie Corbyn cultists who won't stop shouting at me? I know, a union jack that's also a red flag, what more could anyone possibly ask for?"

Are people watching Owen's channel? Pretty damning on Keir and co.

A toothless opposition. No idea what they stand for.

Saw a graph the other day of a survey of 1000 or so Labour supporters 80% had no idea what their economic policy was

They stand for a future, that is different from the past. So they're in favour of entropy and causality, two of the most fundamental tenets of creation without which even time itself could not meaningfully be said to exist, but they can't be drawn on anything more specific than that.

He was beaten by "don't know" on a YouGov poll recently.

it's whatever the tories have said this week only better and with more union jacks...

Has Starmer called for the NHS pay deal to be just 0.5% yet?

 

[andysays]

Has Starmer called for the NHS pay deal to be just 0.5% yet?

Amazingly, he's actually calling for it to be more than 1%

The big offer. Vote labour.

Without wanting to reopen the debate about how class is recorded YouGov today shows Cons leading Labour 52-27 in the CD2E category

 

[brogdale]

Difficult to see completely, but if that London Lab/Con lead is only 10% (with the Greens mopping up 8%) that shows how shabby their polling is atm.

Trying to work out what Labour stand for is like trying to pin the tail on a donkey. Trouble is there's no donkey and no tail.
