  1. >A senior Labour party source told City A.M. that Starmer is expected to “slaughter the sacred cows of Corbynism” in the lead-up to summer,

    Inject this shit into my veinsssss

  2. Hahahahaha as if this was announcing a new plan that hasn’t been in motion since the day he was elected. He is not inspiring any hope from me for an alternative future.

  3. Why do I feel like Keir Starmer is going to be the man who wins the next general election, and then just spends five years preventing any kind of genuinely transformational change until the Tories turn the public against them again because all the big systemic shit we’re dealing with now is still unfixed?

    Like I get Labour don’t want to frighten the horses by doing anything too radical, but at this rate their strategy will be the political equivalent of trying to save the Titanic by rearranging the deckchairs.

  4. >Sir Keir Starmer will try to definitively distance himself from Labour’s
    far-left 2019 election manifesto in a series of key speeches over the
    next few months.

    How far to the right do you have to be to look at Labour’s 2019 manifesto and regard it as “far-left”.

  5. There will be no difference between Labour and the Lib Dems apart form Labour are looking like they will be more authoritarian with insane drug laws and idiotic shoot to kill ideas.

    Getting to the stage where I might have to vote Lib Dem to keep Labour out. God all mighty.

  6. I’m an EU immigrant who just got registered to vote in the UK for the first time. I’d never vote for today’s Conservatives and I thought Starmer’s Commons speech taking Boris to task over partygate was strong, but ultimately what’s most important for the people is “the economy, stupid”. He needs a vision there.

    What sectors will Starmer promote that will reliably create high-paying jobs across the country and be internationally competitive? Yes despite Brexit we’re a world-leader in financial services, but it was never going to employ that many people.
