The major problem with Keir Starmer is his intelligence. Get a First Class degree and, as Mike Hancock demonstrated, your capacity to read the room, accept advice from your Chief Whip, test your ideas against people who have previous experience, is considered unnecessary. You already know what they will say, and why consult losers, as Trump would say. Time Keir took a good look in the mirror and said to himself “you are no longer a barrister with all the evidence of the case assembled before you”. You are a politician and will never know what it is like to be unintelligent, handicapped, poor, badly housed, and badly educated. When someone like Ed Balls, who was the adviser to Gordon Brown during the best years of the Blair government, advises you, you should consider the advice.

Just for clarification, a genocidist party that came to power on a platform to permanently damage the poorest and most vulnerable in the UK was unable to persuade its MPs to accept a bill that increased that damage?

Whodathunkit?

A vision for social and economic progress in Starmer's Labour is like an Israeli ceasefire - it just doesn't exist...

Probably the most fatuous comment on this thread; Student Union stuff.
