his policies are left wing, they're not massively different from the last manifesto. Again, I'm happy with his pledges, lets see if he can a) sell it and b) deliver. But first he's got to stop the party tearing itself apart while holding the tories to account. That will be the hardest bit.

if you think he's worthy of praise, tell me why. If I think he is I will. I'm not impressed with his start, you're only reply to that is give him chance. I am giving him a chance but I'm still going to question him.

he made a statement regarding Raab this morning, it was read out of 5Live, 5Live asked for a response from the government, they didn't get one. Why didn't he use that platform for a more aggressive from of attack. Do you really need me to tell you the leader of the opposition can speak through...

Starmers pledges are left wing, it's his willingness or ability to deliver that I'm questioning.

so why is he making ineffectual statements straight out of the Peston/Kussenburg playbook? His statement today about Raab was vapid.

you're contradicting yourself here, you're saying Corbyn was a poor leader but you're excusing Starmer for starting his tenure in exactly the same vein. Corbyn tried to go down the taking the nastiness out of politics route from day 1 and it failed yet Starmer appears to be doing the same and...

He should be calling Hancock out everyday over his lies and his attempts to throw everyone from footballers to NHS staff under the bus. He's made a couple of wishy washy statements so he has being commenting but it's been poor so far in my opinion.

I am giving Starmer a chance and acknowledge the issues surrounding this report have given him a major headache. But, yes, early days, but what has Starmer done well so far in your opinion?

the PPE farce continues: Government 'ignores' UK textiles firms desperate to make PPE Gardeners being urged to donate PPE now as well, what a fucking shambles. It's behind a paywall but the headline tells you everything

It won't end uncertainty though because no one can guarantee next season starting in August. Certainly not with supporters in attendance. I think if they could then they would end this season now. I expect this season to finish BCD

I think you're right about it potentially killing the party. on the flip side if Starmer can successfully bring the party out the other side then they have a good leader In place. Underwhelming from him at the minute. Hasn't laid a glove on the Tories. Early days though.

He didn't know Dover was an important port for UK/European trade and he has some skeletons in his closet regarding bullying and sexual harassment claims. Though none of that seems to matter anymore.

When you don't know the character is Jewish I'm not sure you have a choice!

The shes black so it's racist comment could easily be supplanted with shes Jewish so it's antisemitic in certain incidents. Look at the spurious evidence against Marc Wadsworth in the Ruth Smeeth incident yet he got expelled The tit for tat has got a long way to go unless Starmer can.prove...

Not to the Tories she's not!

The money you'll save should be a big incentive. Price of 'em

I dont think it will help him to appear to pro-European at the moment to be honest You're right, maybe in the future but again, I would go for a subtle distancing for now and keep himself well apart from any 2nd referendum rhetoric. At the moment there's a real chance to promote a society that...

the problem is the right of the party aren't going anywhere. I said it before, but I have to question why anyone who thinks Miliband or Burnham are too left wing just doesn't join the Tories. But Labour won't win an election with all this infighting going on, the Tories can do it, but Labour...

I really don't see how an association with Blair can help him. The name has too much baggage. Look how Johnson distanced himself from Thatcher when he thought it was prudent to do so, subtly so he could always go back, but for now distanced himself all the same.

he needs to distance himself from Blair or he'll never win over "many who only want a leftie in charge". He has to unite the factions within the party, he won't do it, no one will do it, if they're seen as been too close to either group. Not only that but if he's considered too close to Blair...
