    Who’s asking you. You just come on and wind up. You never debate. Go away until you can put across a decent point.

    I know you want to brush it under the carpet but we won’t forget.
    Ok...
    Do you believe that Sir Starmer has shot himself in the foot regarding that wallpaper picture? He is getting slated for it. Personally if I was his adviser I would have said don’t do it.

    Starmer's picture is neither here nor there really. Johnson's countless misdemeanours are what's important.

    I disagree with that in part and will explain after I have taken the dog for a walk

    I debate all the time but also find time to point out the ridiculousness of flag-waving weirdos. Just don’t pretend to care about anti-semitism. That’s all.

    Yes, pretty heartless, one might almost say, ruthless. In terms of sexual morality, Boris is right out of the JF Kennedy mold.

    His misdemeanours only increase his appeal. It’s very Trump.

    It's harder to get over it, when there hasn't been an eye-catching replacement. Labour hasn't had a leader of impressive appearance since Blair.

    Here are 3 random tweets: don’t worry about who posted them but what they say speaks volumes. He is getting slated form all sides. The Tories have increased their lead and Starmer can’t even land a punch when it appears the Tories have cocked up. Another dud from an unelectable party.

    My post above explained why Wallpaper is actually very important.

    What would you have done to land a punch then? If the three totally random tweets are representative of anything, which they likely aren’t, then how does he win when people are such snowflakes towards Labour but can’t get enough of a government that routinely pisses on them and says it’s raining?

    Tim Denyer followed up that thought-provoking insight with this zinger.

    Yeah, it's not a good look. I imagine his PR people thought it was a good idea.

    When you and others were trying to tell me that he (Starmer) was winning the PMQs a while back, I said he wasn’t. The bloke is a dud and people can see that. The shadow cabinet are inept and people can see that. The Tories aren’t streets ahead because the population are ‘think uneducated gammons’ they are ahead because people have sense and can see through the shower which is the Labour Party.
    Rather than being Captain Hindsight he should stick to his principles like many other politicians and stop chopping and changing.
    Labour won’t win s22t with him in charge... and you know it.

    The same ones that let Jonathan Ashworth speak on QT last night? <laugh> He is nearly as bad as Dodds.

    Maybe answer the question rather than ranting. I doubt any Labour leader is capable of winning an election outright in the near future. The demographics simply aren’t there yet and the Tories have absolutely cornered the 50+ snowflake white bloke market if this post is anything to go by.

    It's quite a challenge to be as unexceptional as Aniseed Dodds...

    You want to listen to the news right now as they are discuss why Sir Starmer is actually losing votes. Before Christmas he had a four point lead and now they are saying Tories could have a 10 point lead. Labour voters of all demographics are deserting. So don’t play the white woke card because again you are talking crap.
    Can we get someone on who actually knows what he is talking about!

    Might as well try again. What punch would you have suggested he land? The bloke has a near impossible task if he is apparently not sticking to principles yet the voters he needs can’t get enough of his opponent never having stuck to a principle in his life.
