"Desperation" seems a bit strong – if you want an uncritical circle of applause perhaps you could try the Graun?

I'm no fan of the Labour party, and I suspect I would disagree with this new MP on more than I agreed with him on, but I'd hope we can avoid this sort of dismissive comment from you and others.
There was similar when Mhairi Black was elected, as I recall, and it was rightly criticised then

It wasn't dismissive, He doesn't look 25 to me, looks a lot younger. I've no idea how good or bad an MP he will be though I suspect he won't get much of a chance to prove otherwise. This was a safe Tory seat so I would lay money he will probably lose it at the GE. These sort of majorities only tend to fall at by-elections when there is a lower turnout and people want to make a point.

And Nadia Whittome, who is an excellent MP and one of the few uncompromised left wing voices left in the PLP.
This new guy, age notwithstanding, does seem like a bit of a twat though. Just reading straight from Starmer's script. If Labour wins a GE, their new intake will all be drones like this. Like a cult of no personality.

I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff the geriatrics of Urban can criticise him for.
