However, one of the most crucial cases is related to John Worboys, the black cab driver who spiked the drinks of scores of unsuspecting women before sexually assaulting them while they were unconscious in the back of his taxi. Worboys was convicted in 2009 of 19 charges against 12 women. It was suspected that there were over 100 more victims. But Sir Keir ruled not to pursue further charges. What is most interesting about the case is that Carrie Symonds, the current partner of Boris Johnson, was a victim of Worboys. If Sir Keir is elected Labour’s next leader elected, the party would face a situation where they would have not only failed to elect a woman leader, but they would also elected a man who oversaw the mishandling of a high-profile rape case involving the prime minister’s partner.

Could be interesting

Love to see the evidence that he personally decided not to pursue further charges...

Indeed. These weak attempts to discredit him show that he must be an opposition leader worth taking note of. Unlike his predececessor.

The smearing is a bit desperate already. I think some folks are rattled that Labour have chosen someone electable. That's all it will take by the time of the next election.

Do you have a selective memory, pretty sure there was a whole thread on here, discrediting Corbyn and I distinctly remember the likes of you and Mr K, saying the same shit, about Corbyn is in with a chance for No. 10.
Why oh why do some of you Remainers still not get it?
The Country wants to leave the EU, there have been several democratic processes since 2016, the country chose heavily, Pro Brexit parties, so if Starmer, sings to your tune, you’re going to be disappointed again and again.
First though, we have 5 more years of Conservative rule, with a very large majority, we’re half out of the EU, fully out by end of the year.

No way would I ever have said that about Corbyn. Only way Corbyn would have got into No. 10 would be if they needed a new cleaner.
I've voted for all the Parties and will continue to do so. It probably annoys some that I don't support a party like a football club but their policies and competence change over time so I decide at each election. But I'm pleased that the country finally has a decent opposition leader in the same way that I'm sorry that Ruth Davidson stepped down as Conservative Party Leader in Scotland.

Starmer does have the advantage of being able to choose his front bench from the entire parliamentary party, unlike Corbyn who eventually found that large numbers of them wouldn't take his jobs.
