Labour leadership

Some talking head on the BBC's Dateline London claiming that Keir Starmer is the man to fix this mess.

:D

Starmer is destined for greater things and I doubt he wants to get in involved in this ballot tish-tosh about Tory pranksters and Trots signing up. We all know that if Cooper or Burnham were heading for victory there wouldn't be a squeek about the integrity of the election. This is a Ceausescu balcony moment and no amount of talk about counter-revolutionary saboteurs is going to sway events.

Weird about this Starmer/Jarvis appointed king thing, no one really knows their politics, Starmer's last throw as DPP was to introduce a max ten year tariff for benefit fraud, more than some violent crime, no thanks.

Isn't Starmer, ex Socialist Organiser?

Perhaps it shouldn't be that weird, none of the approved candidates inspire any kind of confidence and that mob desperately need someone to cling to now, never mind if Corbyn wins and they are put in the dreadful position of having to honestly represent their constituents / not enriching themselves / having to sneak from safe house to safe house whilst the hated Gestapo is only a couple of steps behind.
 
If Corbyn is ousted as has been ridiculously telegraphed, it will be interesting to see how many and how quickly the party lose membership.
It will also be a small miracle if the Blairites found the competence and explanation to deflect the criticism that would surely follow.

do you think before posting? i don't know what the max for benefit fraud was before but i expect it was more than the max for eg assault pc.
 
In a bizarre way this does feel very reminiscent of Farage, only the nutters are still on the right (of course, I would say that...). The more his detractors cry fear and woe, the more they throw mud, the stronger his support becomes.

They're giving him more publicity than he'd likely ever get in pure support. To the point where I actually wonder if for at least some parties it's not ideological but simply pragmatic - either selling something or they genuinely think he will cause the left more problems than the right.
