What a pathetic bunch though. Not a patch on the Militant Tendency. They really knew a thing or two about Trotskyist entryism, unlike this hopeless lot.

Well done Sir Keir then ! I knew you'd come round to him eventually Granted Boris doesn't set the bar high on competency but Sir K has surpassed it.

Sir K is still leaning how to limbo and doing badly.

Re: Labour Conference

Starmer's keynote conference speech is being interrupted by constant heckling and there are members showing red cards.

Re: Labour Conference

Are those red cards for a deliberate handball, a dangerous foul, or kicking the ball away in a petulant huff? :D

Re: Labour Conference

He did rather drone on. What he wants to see for the UK isn't wrong but he doesn't say how it can be achieved.

Do you think any intrepid reporters will question him on that? :D

That used to be the case but he's now developing some policies helping the Party become stronger.

Two years ago these people ran the party. Now they're reduced to shouting in a hall.

That’s all they did when they ran it. Nothing but aged student protest groups.

Burnham is their only hope of having a leader of any credibility ( I mean you don’t know until he’s in place). If they don’t get him in now they’ll just lose 3 years.

Starmer loses the next election, so why let him fight it?

Nobody in Labour with serious ambitions to actually be PM rather than just party leader will challenge him until after he loses.

Re: Labour Conference

I think they view him as Kinnock or John Smith than Blair. He is going to sort out the party for the next guy.

Re: Labour Conference

I was waiting for the weather report before 1am on BBC News.

All I got was Waffler Starmer saying that all schoolkids will have to study music and learn an instrument.

More political fiddling with the school system and curriculum.
