I watched him on Andrew Neil yesterday and thought his performance was pathetic, not up to the standard of a potential National leader.
Good news for the Cons though.
Well, I know Iain Duncan Smith was never Prime Minister, but he was leader of the Conservative Party and he was all in favour of Johnson being Prime minister. That is a much worse source of recommendation than Gordon Brown could possibly be and bodes even less favourably!
Its taking long enough!
Gordon Brown? Some recommendation!
The kiss of death....
Anyone got a clue what the quizmeister is gibbering about?
as you say poss the kiss of death from Brown,
by the way he was never pretty but doesn't he look
old now...
Just looked a the photo on the link, thought it was for a waxwork figure of him. Hope his policies are more realistic
Well, Spicerack, the headline in the OP link reads, "Labour leadership: Former PM supports Starmer for new leader."
That, presumably, was what drove TTT to suggest Brown's support would damage Sir Keir Starmer...hence the question, 'Body Blow for SKS?'
It seems you're the gibberer, given that the above is perfectly clear. In an attempt to help you, my suggestion was that a leadership recommendation from Iain Duncan Smith is worse than a leadership recommendation from virtually anyone else, including Gordon Brown!
Question Author
QM, yes there is a parallel to be drawn but I think the sheer unelectability of Agent Cob and Labour trumped any negative effect.
Yes, TTT, but you seem to be referring to the December general election, whereas the SKS sitution refers to the Labour Party leadership election; quite another matter, I'm sure you'll agree.

By the way, apropos an earlier discussion of ours, did you notice that the Muslim Council of Britain had recently raised again the question of Islamophobia in the Conservative Party? You'll recall all the remaining candidates for the Tory leadership back in June last year solemnly pledged to hold an inquiry into that.
The party then reneged on that and, instead, said they would hold an inquiry into all known forms of pejudice or some such 'universal' nonsense.
Since that announcement, I've neard nothing further about the subject. Have you...or has it now been kicked into the long grass altogether, as expected?
Tony Blair, John Major, David Cameron and now Gordon Brown.
When will these has-beens realise that they’ve had their day, and nobody is interested in what they have to say any more?
Question Author
yes I am aware of that. I know the intention is to try and paint the Tories as the equivalent of Labour's anti semites but the cases are all things like inappropriate remarks and schoolboy jokes. I know of nothing as serious as some of the anti semitic remarks from Labour party members.
The problem, TTT, is that Muslims think these "schoolboy jokes" - made by grown-up legislators like Boris Johnson, let's not forget - are offensive, not funny. So do I and masses of other non-Islamic British people.
No different to Agent Dom Backing Boris.
Ah, I'm with you now. IDS recommending Boris Johnson was the kiss of death to his leadership bid.
Very astute, I'm sure.

Only left wing *** wits, Q. Normal people don't give a damn what the terrorist supporting MCB think about anything. In fact we don't think there should be an MCB and one day, inshallah, there won't be.
Gordon Brown backs Keir Starmer is hardly earth shattering news
Ask any Labour member who they think the former PM wants to win and they’d probably say Starmer or Nandy.
So I’m not sure how this is a blow, presuming people are being serious
"Normal people don't give a damn what the terrorist supporting MCB think about anything."
So you feel that none of the Tory leadership hopefuls were "normal people". I'd agree. However, each and every one of them pledged - if elected leader - to open an inquiry into Tory Islamophobia which had been claimed by the MCB and others to exist. That would seem to me to prove that they DID "give a damn" what these people thought. Otherwise, why make even a pretence that they would do anything about it?
Yes , that pledge was made .
I'm sure dominic has it on the back burner - gas mark 0.5
