That Starmer fella...

Sorry, this has been the case for fricken ages hasn't it?

If you mean from a media perspective, things seemed to get worse in the run up to the referendum and has seemed to get even worse from there so you're not wrong.

Travel around the North and ask people for opinions on Jeremy Corbyn...some will tell you that he is a Marxist terrorist sympathiser who partied through lockdowns. Ask about Kier Starmer and they'll say he's a corrupt liberal elite hypocrit lawyer who partied through lockdowns. Ask them to name a Labour policy? You tend to hear "free broadband" and "open borders" mentioned a lot.

Anyway, I'm genuinely not a starmer fan boy. He's bland AF. Its true that he's not taking strong political positions. Its true he's staying quiet on a lot of issues that are important to people. I do however think there is a method to the madness.

Same as it ever was.

A true-left wing labour will never get into power. It’s about steering near the middle and being less of a cunt than the current mob.

Edit: Whilst having absolute charisma and being able to believe in you. I can’t think of anyone who has that ground-swell movement that drive change to places which feel desperately forgotten and left behind.
