Can Sir Keir Starmer revive the Labour Party? (Vol. 2)

[hidetheelephants]

Big uptick in duplicate threads filled with evidence-free pant-wetting and pearl-clutching about how Keir is going to house migrants in their spare room, Rachel is going to steal their pensions and Bridget is going to kidnap their children and brainwash them into revolutionary committees who will put their parents in camps. I guess the polls are bad.

Which site is that? Polls have been what they are for many weeks. This particular type of repeat post must be fashionable somewhere.

They shouldn't be attacking a man for saying he'll have dinner with his family once a week because it's important to him and them.

I really didn't think it needed explaining but here we are once again.

No they shouldn't, but a man who wants that sort of life shouldn't be in the type of job that requites him to be available 24/7

It's a perfectly reasonable aspiration though, and in any given normal week quite possible. I'm not a Labour supporter and I can't see the problem.

If we have some sort of massive crisis on a Friday afternoon I doubt he will be walking out of no10 at 6pm.

Deary me, desperate much?

When did he say he wouldn't be available.

Do you think Prime Ministers sit at their desk 24/7 just incase something happens?

Can and has and is on his way to a massive majority.
Corbyn would never have been able to achieve this

You fallen out with Diane or something?

Jezza would have walked it, Starmer's just pinched his thoroughly deserved victory.

Could he? Has he? Revived the Labour Party I mean? Is it not actually that he fouled up less in the voters' eyes than Sunak is perceived to have done? There's still people questioning Labour's ability based on their past, and yet Sunak managed to dive beneath that and screw the Tory image completely. There have been counter arguments put forward in mitigation: covid and lockdowns, the cost of paying for furlough and all the other contingent costs of a full-on panic response to the pandemic which Labour would have reacted even more uncontrollably to if their comments at the time were credible, Ukraine war effect on global energy prices, etc., but these have hardly been heard. Without running a control sequence it cannot be said that any other party would have cocked-up less.

It’s official, he has indeed. However I believe the issue of Palestine and the relationship to the Labour Parties Muslim vote is going to be massive problem for him. Be interesting to see how he handles it.

Yes, yes, yes!!! Well done Sir Keir. Bravo.

Assume parody, but halving your own constituency vote as an incoming PM is pretty impressive.

Getting less votes than Corbyn is some achievement too.
Well done Sir Keir.

Fewer. He'll still be in Downing Street this morning giving a speech, so chin up lads.

I hope they let him finish this time. Sky cut to Ed ‘Chip Cobb’ Davey earlier.

If he has time, he could consult rain radar.

Good point. Or use one of those new-fangled umbrella things.

Regardless of the ins and outs it appears the answer to the thread title is Yes.

On 35% of the popular vote - lower than Blair scored! First past the post is now clearly on borrowed time.

It isn't. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas & four seats Reform aren't changing that.
