Starmer's days are numbered. It's now a matter of how long it will take, how much damage McWormtongue will do while that plays out, and who replaces a truly abysmal and blinkered PM.

Keir Starmer's net favourability rating falls to its lowest level to date (-54, 16-17 November), within the margin of error of Jeremy Corbyn (-55) and Boris Johnson's (-53) lowest ratings

Favourable: 19% (-2 from 13-14 Oct)
Unfavourable: 73% (+1)
Net: -54 (-3)

After another week of banging on about immigration, Keir Starmer's ratings fall to their lowest ever level.

At what point do Labour strategists start to think that maybe this isn't quite the winning strategy they believed?

All those who enable Ferrari are equally culpable for his scumbaggery.

If Ferrari had an ounce of journalistic integrity, he might’ve questioned Jim - whose brain has clearly been pickled by online conspiracy bollocks - on what he was researching. But, as Jim delivered the needed soundbite to boost up Ferrari’s new pet party - Reform - it was nodded through. @lbc.co.uk

Savage piece by Janan Ganesh in the FT on Labour - and the UK’s - predicament. In short, Starmer and Reeves are rubbish - every possible replacement is worse.
So, while anger is a sensible reaction to the government, surprise isn't. There is not enough contempt in the kingdom for what the Conservatives did on Brexit, planning, unfunded tax cuts and what we might call the moral tone of public life. But none of this ever added up to a case for Labour, let alone a landslide. Its ruling duo are inadequate and remain preferable to their likeliest usurpers. Britain has another three years or more to reflect on this Hobson's choice. To capture the bleakness of the situation, and its potential to deteriorate, I will leave you with my considered verdict on the chancellor. Reeves is honour-bound to quit, and I hope she doesn't.

Zack Polanski appealing to disaffected Labour voters who aren't down with the endless Xenophobia instead of targeting the Rich.

Labour won't learn from the Danish example this week, they'll continue on with their Xenophobic schemes because they think people […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
6mago 16.33 GUT Zack Polanski says Greens will target Labour MPs who defend asylum plans Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, may have been thinking about people like Wes Streeting (see 4.16pm) when he wrote this piece for Huffpost UK saying his party would target Labour MPs who have defended the asylum policy. He said: 44 Out of more than 400 Labour MPs, barely 20 are standing up against these grotesque asylum proposals. Twenty. That’s not courage, that’s capitulation. Those Labour MPs who are silent should be ashamed. Truly ashamed. The suggestion of confiscating jewellery, to drag children into detention centres, this is indecent, immoral, and indefensible. And let me say this clearly: we will challenge every single Labour MP who.goes along with this. It’s not enough to just say you regret it or you're sad about it. Voters still have a moral compass, even if Labour have smashed theirs to pieces.
