Starmer confronted by angry voter in Liverpool over Sun newspaper columns

  1. Surely part of his job is to persuade Tory voters to switch to Labour? Boycotting the newspapers they read and only working with newspapers that people who already vote Labour read is going to get us nowhere.

    Murdoch and his newspaper empire exists – we can’t simply close our eyes and pretend it doesn’t.

  2. lmao this entire thread

    how do you people cope (and possibly even seethe?) with the fact there are hundreds of thousands of people with values and attitudes opposed to yours whose vote has material impact on on your life?

    Are you all just imagining that the nasty toroids or whoever will see the incorrectness of their views and capitulate without ever having to deal with them?

  3. I’m sorry but we can appeal to Tory voters without resorting to the Sun shit rag, and bowing to the vermin that run it.

  4. It’s simple really, the only way to sway voters is to talk to them.

    Sadly The Sun is seen as a newspaper by many so it’s the only way to get the message through to that demographic.

    The Sun is a shit stain.

  5. Not to defend Starmer or to say that what the woman said was wrong, but people are kidding themselves if they think Liverpool will vote any which way but Labour regardless of how many articles are published in The Sun.

  6. I was listening to some clips earlier in the week. I was a little distracted by the task I was doing, but I swear Starmer sounded right-ish, and Sunak sounded left-ish.

    Strange things happen when people want to highlight how they are different to their predecessor!

  7. Yay, back to pissing on our own chips again are we?

    What does anyone think having a go at starmer archives? More tory votes that’s all.

    If you want to change the leader, support someone else and vote them in as leader.

    His pledges were made based on him being PM.

    Which he isn’t…. So how can have he have broken them??

  8. It’s genuinely funny how no one in this sub is able to actually defend Starmer’s actions.

    It’s all either “you’re helping the Tories!” or denying the reality of what he’s doing.

    The fact is that Labour has been chasing the right for 40 years (bar a 4 year gap from 2015-19) and in the process has completely lost step with public opinion.

    People want renationalisation. People want the rich to be taxed more. People don’t want a slimy man who doesn’t even pretend to be trustworthy, managed by a team of Oxbridge weirdos that only chose the Labour party because they like how they look in red.

  9. An entire headline and article about a single person being angry that he gave an interview to a national newspaper, that they don’t like? The sun is a POS, but it’s still a national newspaper.

    What the fuck kind of bullshit is this?

  10. Starmer in a weird position. Disenfranchised conservative voters want to vote for him but worried he’ll be more of the same. Labour voters don’t trust him and 90% of the population don’t give a shit about any of the parties

  11. Audrey White is not just an “angry voter” she was forced out of the labour party by the same seditious plot that outed corbyn, she sued a paper for multiple claims of libel for calling her a antisemite

  12. There’s a frightening amount of upset Corbyn trolls on here. You lot are actually in a hairs breath of taking power and still can’t unite behind your electable leader.

    Give us all a break.
