  • As a leader you need a ruthless streak otherwise you will lose

    If only he was ruthless against the Conservatives and not his own party.

  • How would you like him to be ruthless against the conservatives that isn't already happening?

    As Corbyn saw and now Starmer is seeing it's pretty difficult to bring the fight to anyone else if your party isn't fully behind you. So he's trying to sort that.

  • How would you like him to be ruthless against the conservatives that isn't already happening?

    Well, for a start I’d like to see him come up with a policy framework, so that when he’s asked “well, what would you instead?/what do you propose?/how would you do it?” he’s actually able to give an answer instead of waffling away and showing himself to be empty. Maybe he could put them out as ten pledges or something, so that people know what Labour would do when they make a case for something not being good enough. He can then ruthlessly drill that into his MPs to get a consistent message happening, instead of the general air of “???” that’s currently going on.

    I hear there’s another reset coming, with a 14,000 word essay - maybe there’ll be something in that

  • By purging the left.
