Starmer must change course - or Labour must change their leader.

The cost of total nationalisation right now would be horrific! Even buying out shareholders with a compulsory 1p share! Remember also, while capitalism creates many of our problems, we’re ensured to it - our pensions and savings are in stocks, shares.

I wonder how many actually watched her interview with Keunsberg this morning?
Calm, reasoned, strong enough to ignore Keunsberg’s constant interruptions,intro set a context of rising immigration.
Labour should more capital from Brexit, but to say she’s chasing Reform votes is nonsense.

Maybe a convicted felon, friend of convicted sex offenders, mysogynist and habitual orange man baby liar should be careful what to wish for.

Andy Burnham can’t atm.
Others will start to appear. What a mess. Let’s hope it’s notthe tories under de piffle all over. Frankly, Starmer lacks the vision and the backbone to match Labour values. A challenge is inevitable.

I’d say Starmer’s mistake was appointing Mandy in the first place. The Tory press are always going to sniff out any sleaze or tax or affairs or donations.
Starmer came in promising change and to clean up the Tory sleaze. He needs to be smarter - whiter than white.

It is. I wish Starmer would admit it though, and just declare they’ll negotiate rejoining. Referendum once the terms are agreed - unlike Brexit.

Exactly. Our expectations were high, but they’ve not been met or even managed, while a couple of spectacular ogs haven’t helped.

Agreed. A lifetime of sexist, party times, even if he’s written some great tracks. No one can take Rod the Mod’s political views seriously.

Plenty of artists over the years who’ve put their political emotions into songs. Dylan, Lennon, Springsteen. Quite a few others at Glastonbury, apparently.

Instead of running a story about 3rd rate attention seeking rappers, who will never enjoy so much publicity again, why don’t you and this govt give more context to the appalling crimes being committed against ordinary people in Gaza?
