A year of Keir

Why do you say that?

Why do you want to know?

Give it time, as soon as everyone is vaccinated he'll Don the boxing gloves and go to town, bojo and co have made it easy for him this past year, if he doesn't capitalise on it, then he's a fool and should resign.... There all the same, just the left are sneaky doing it, they are the best at deflection.

To add, I think he's a twist, and labour have lost there way and become too left leaning. I hoped Keir will bring the party back to being centralist, Keir is more towards that but he needs to get rid of the far left idiots from the party till he can achieve that. At the moment he is having to compromise to the leftists within his party.

The majority of the country Is centre right leaning, which is why labour have performed so badly, if they were more central, they would have performed much better.

He will be accused of playing politics if he attacks the Government too much by the public and the papers. He has made the Government make quite a few U-turns so he has achieved something.

What policies from the left you think Keir will bring in? What compromises has he made to the left?

This country gets its news from a media run by a few billionaires and the BBC which is always going to be pro Government.

The Good Law Project is doing the job of the opposition at the moment - the state of this countrys politics is dire.

Ten years of austerity has weakened the public sector and instiutions and another ten years we will get more political appointees to the judiciary, all weakening the checks and balances needed to sustain a functioning democracy.

The amount of blatant corruption and the public is either ignorant or indifferent.

Brilliant though Keir is, he has no Charisma, and does not appeal to the voters.

I didn't really notice he's not so charismatic - I must have overlooked it

Quote of the year.........

 

[SirGalahad]

A lot of the voting public would consider this as incompetence

150,000 dead.
A sham Brexit ruining many exporters businesses.
Didn't lock down early enough.
Test & Trace billions wasted.
Millions wasted in Nightingale hospitals.
Billions given in PPE contracts to Tory donors and Tory MPs
Billions lost in business loans
Help out to Eat out increased vaccine spread
Delayed lockdows over christmas leading to increased deaths

Yet Boris would be a good a laugh over a pint so we will vote for him.

Tories.
£20m for poor kids - their scummy parents with their iphones.

£100bn for Moonshot testing. Well sign me up.

He has done ok with the vaccine rollout.
If you are unhappy with Boris Johnson then you need to come up with a viable alternative to tory rule.
Kier Starmer is just a caretaker leader until the Labour party gets a leader who has ideas that the public will vote for.

We all really enjoy the banter between opposing characters and find it amusing especially discourse like the above - but let me ask you this - is there an underlaying fondness between foes here on the forum?

The public only care if they believe that government lies and corruption will affect them personally.

Test & Trace billions wasted.

That seems to have been a waste of money - how did other democratic countries do with their test and trace such as Germany, France, Italy, USA etc?

Millions wasted in Nightingale hospitals.

Why were they wasted though? Couldn't they have been used if the emergency situation had required it?

Billions given in PPE contracts to Tory donors and Tory MPs

Any specifics?

Billions lost in business loans

Why were/are the loans lost- aren't loans having to be paid back?
