Keir Starmer's time is up

[mauvais]

Long-Bailey would have made a much better fist of it. The trouble is the media hated her before she even started, so she got nowhere. Too closely associated with Corbyn for them.

Starmer is like a minor television actor playing the Prime Minister, in a walk-on part in a soap opera. Nandy's just awful.

RLB is a pretty terrible politician and only lived for a time as a leadership prospect thanks to a sort of collective, out-of-options buy-in to an unrealistic, unimaginative fan fiction.

Tbf, "pretty terrible" and "would have been better than Starmer" aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

I am so totally stealing that and passing it off as my own

'..let's be absolutely clear, as your leader, I will bring back British grass for British beef..'

How did I get here? Was it drugs? Did someone give me DRUGS? I heard that drugs are bad but I didn't think I'd end up seeing nothing but cows. My god I was right, no-one should be allowed to do this to themselves.

There is a strong stench of bullshit around here!

Caption competition anyone?

"I don't get it! There were thousands here for Corbyn in 2017!"

Whadya mean, a millionaire? We only own up as far as the wood....

Why does he look like he's about to start asking the cows "who fucking wants some, then?"

"What does someone have to do to get a frothy coffee around here?"

Let's face it, whatever you think of him or his politics, the obvious successor is Burnham. Unpopular with the party machine though, he isn't going to find a safe seat open up for him magically in the next couple of years.

I wouldn’t know about that zur

Doesn't matter too much if the timing works - he could stand in any marginal greater Manchester seat right now and win IMO

Clive Lewis has gone forom 500/1 to 33/1

Seriously? You can imagine people listening to him and going 'yeah, I'll vote for him as PM'??

 

[lazythursday]

Bizarre odds. There is like zero chance of Dodds or RLB and I have no idea who Carden is.

 

[Sprocket.]

I surmise Burnham truly believes he can help more people politically in the position he is currently in, supported by the locals. More than he could achieve as leader of a party that currently seems more intent on making itself irrelevant.

he is active on twitter, so politics twitter nerds think he's someone to watch

No
he seemed like an okay human being though

 

[ska invita]

...a position he is in after losing in the leadership contest to Corbyn IIRC. He wanted the leadership job

But would he give his current job up and chuck his hat in the ring?

 

[Pickman's model]

Caption competition anyone?

even as a scarecrow starmer found himself in the wrong field

 

[ska invita]

No idea but id guess Yes though, if theres momentum around him and sufficient egging on

 

[lazythursday]

But would he give his current job up and chuck his hat in the ring?

He's danced around the topic in interviews recently, so the answer is absolutely yes.
