Rumour has it just prior to setting up the team he had a phone call from the Israeli President.
Given how we know Labour worked against Corbyn in 2017 it is unfortunately unsurprising they did the same in 2019.
This was d0wnv0ted before any could have even read it.
Starmer is a genocide supporting, lying sack of shit. Nothing anyone tells me about him from here on out will shock or surprise me. I had my misgivings about him from the start but I had no idea. He is rotten to the core. Anyone who thinks HE is the man to replace Rasheed needs their head tested – and that includes Mick Lynch!
Shouldn’t be surprising. I joined the Labour party in that year, emailed them to say I felt Corbyn didn’t have a cat in hell’s chance of winning, and that Starmer would be a better candidate. I held my nose and voted for Corbyn. Looking forward to voting for Starmer.
Everyone could read the writing on the wall, Corbyn was going to fail again. The guy is a gaffe machine.
Clever man. I respect how shrewd this guy is more and more with each passing day.
While it never looks great, Corbyn’s resignation was always an when not if scenario. The landslide only compounded that. I’d rather people in the wings making soundings and ready for it, than the whole party floundering.
He was never a inner circle, front bench member, so I see it as no real betrayal.
Smart man. He saw what was likely to happen and started prepping to make his bid. Now we are here and very much on the cusp of finally getting a Labour gov again. Can’t fault him one bit there.
Not surprising, this was around the time of the disastrous (for both parties) European elections. The writing was clearly on the wall for Corbyn by then.
And if this wasn’t done, the usual scoffers would be calling him unprepared.
Then again, Corby Trouser Press took so long to fuck off Starmer probably could have waited a bit.
Proves that Labour is full of snakes, if you ask me.
Reading the comments in here, it really shows how easily people are manipulated by the media. Depressing, zero critical thinking, just repeating the tired old lines that Corbyn was unelectable that the establishment fed them.
I suppose if Corbyn succeeded the country wanted a radical socialist. If he failed a no faced beige middle of the road vanilla every man is the logical next step.
Foresight and some actual planning, I can’t remember the last time it felt like the government was making a decision based on something with more than twenty seconds thought or preparation put into it.
Politicians have been doing this this they were at the Oxford Union. Business as usual
I hope he gets in I want to see if he grows a spine and I want to see them fuck it all up and we get Tories for another 12 years again.
This is pretty standard procedure when someone is vying to take over control of the party and doesn’t believe that candidate will be around long.
The media spin around the next election really is going to be:
Pro-Tory: “This is why Labour would be awful, don’t vote for them. Policies? Who needs those, we hate people you hate and we’re not Labour”
Pro-Labour: “At least we’re not the Tories, and since we will never vote for PR, we’re your only choice. Sorry, did you want actual selling points?”
Is that really that shocking? His views on how labour should be run clearly differ greatly from Corbyn. Shouldn’t it be obvious he’d plan for his own team of like minded people should he ever gain power? It’s just prudent.

Not Sir Keith’s only sneaky move…
