Keir Starmer Lacks Charisma.

[saintpeter48]

I'm watching PMs questions now, what a boring man Mr Starmer is, he lacks charisma and has no 'oomph', with him at the Labour helm they have no chance of unseating Boris Johnson!

How did a 'cartoon buffoon' manage to secure a rock-solid majority at the last election?

//How did a 'cartoon buffoon' manage to secure a rock-solid majority at the last election?//

Because his opponent was an imbecile?

[ToraToraTora]

That one does confuse them JD!

[ToraToraTora]

so Mozz, buffoon beats imbecile!

[gulliver1]

No doubt about it Johnson looks like he suffers from anxiety every time he has to face Sir Keir. It shows up by the way Boris keeps taking his pen in and out of his jacket Pocket, sure sign of nervousness

[Mozz71]

Let's be honest though guys, if Boris done nothing during the election other than saying "Get Brexit done" in response to every question, he'd have still walked the election. It's only the horror that has been 2020 so far that the inadequacies of his government have become an issue.

mozz: "Because his opponent was an imbecile?" - TBF it's not entirely agent Cob's fault, the fact is that in 120 years of the Labour Party only 4 Labour leaders have won an election and one of those was by pretending to be a Tory. Only very occasionally do the public trust the left wingers of Labour, the last time was 1974, after that the public has seen enough of their union buddies wrecking everything whilst trying to turn us into a Soviet outpost. I'll be surprised if real Labour ever win again.

[youngmafbog]

Not sure charisma is what the labour Party need right now.

Sir Keir is not likely to be PM ever but is likey to be the one who rebuilds labour and makes it electable in 9 years time.

[gulliver1]

The HOC and A/B have a lot in common, they both have a Character who think they are are a reincarnation of Winston Churchill.

[Mozz71]

I agree. The Labour party of my youth has gone. Sadly, the populace of this country (also of America, but they're not the topic here, so let's ignore them) are so disenchanted with political correctness, that they will vote for the party that they feel will most go against it, and that will always be the Tories.

[ToraToraTora]

the problem is with Labour at the moment is that they are full of hard left idiots who think the public are wrong not to elect them rather than trying to imagine why they are unelectable and do something about it. Kinnochio and later St Tony grasped this and in 1997, after large clear out and a re focus, a Tory Lite government was elected, because they gave the public a real alternative. Now Labour seem to have fallen back half a century in thinking and are blaming the electorate for being "too stupid" to comprehend their magnificence!

[ToraToraTora]

gully 13:15, instead of going na na nana like a child in the back seat why not have a go at discussing some of the points made above? I disagree with Mozz a lot but we can still have a civil debate, why don't you surprise us all and outline your road to power for Labour, I have outlined mine above.

[Zacs-Master]

is this question going to be a beginning of the month feature?

Steer Karma is probably their best choice at the moment but he's a captain with no decent team behind him. It's Accrington Stanley v Man united all the time.

[ichkeria]

As I’ve said before, the last time this rather mundane point was raised, it didn’t do Attlee any harm

[ichkeria]

I wouldn’t be too complacent about the levels of talent in the party.
Johnson and Corbyn, for very different reasons, surrounded themselves with dross.
But most of the Corbyn dross went with him.

[dannyk13]

Attlee was a different person in a different time.

[gulliver1]

Think Winston has flipped again, all the radicalisation has affected his Brain. Sorry Brain was a typo.

[ToraToraTora]

so still no attempt at debate gully? right oh!
