Who would of thought that all this country wants is a straight talking no bullshitting figure.
This is what Labour or Lib Dems need to aspire to. Not just be another suit talking on TV who’s undistinguishable from a Tories when on camera.
I want the Tories out but no other leader is connecting like Lynch has and he’s been able to deflect the BS as it’s been flung at him in real time.
Mick Lynch for PM!

When he’s not being provoked and talked over like a hostile witness in a show trial, he’s excellent at telling how it is, for example [the video posted here](https://twitter.com/mrdanwalker/status/1539707071997923331):

1970s B movie villain.
Surely ‘Star’ is dependent on which papers you actually read, Left or Right. 🙂
Are we all forgetting he has the hood from thunderbirds as his facebook profile picture? How can we trust someone like that?
