sadoldgit Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Let’s get one thing straight. I have no problem at all with politicians of any party facing negative press. But there is a huge difference between negative press that is true and negative press which is not true. Corbyn and previous Labour leaders have had to face fabricated and spun stories against them to a far greater extent than happens to the Tory party. For all the bleating about the need to stand behind democracy, how does that work when the electorate is fed a constant stream of misinformation?

Unfortunately for those with an interest in gender equality Starmer is by far the stand out candidate. Nandy strongest female and then after that three I don't think are remotely up to it. Jess Phillips does not have the gravitas/composure. Good for a soundbite and the new leader needs her in the tent. Long Bailey utterly vacuous Cretin disciple.

Still, you've previously stated you are wealthy enough to never have any concern with government legislation that impact the lives of the poorest so for you its only ever been about purity posturing. The archetypal Corbyn supporter. Cretins to a fu cking man. Lastly, as has been explained countless times on here, vote share is absolutely irrelevant. You get to govern not by stacking up vanity votes in Islington but by having enough broad appeal to win in Worcester or Workington or Swindon. Funnily enough he never got near that.

In looks and electability. She has some interesting ideas, and would worry the tories. Phillips is just a self publicist, Long Bailey an air head & Lady Nugee would be a gift that keeps on giving. There’s no doubt that Starmer would give Boris some awkward moments in the chamber, but I doubt he’d play well with the “red wall”. He’d probably appeal to pinko remainers that couldn’t vote Corbyn, but will that be enough. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
