You got to do better than this mate, Keir is bland but he still got elected, try again bro...
She's a woman that is also black.
I think that sums it up.
I don't think a black woman is entirely the issue, I think Michelle Obama could win for example.
I just think it's down to her as a US personality. I've seen tons of reports about Bidens replacement and no one, bar Biden, seems interested in Harris.
I liked that, but then unliked it when I realised you are saying the problem is 'black woman' open your eyes bro and look beyond that...
Tell me more...
At the moment Starmer has got me onside, why, because I feel he is trying to build bridges, and these bridges are important to me. He's certainly not the best conversationist in the world, but he makes the effort to overcome his own characteristic boundaries.
What he does bring to the table is a sense of calm in politics, hallelujah, in the house of commons, outside of the commons with MP's, including opposition MP's, along with members of the EU and other world leaders.
There at times seems a bit of awkwardness, especially with the media eye constantly on him, but he needs to give it time for the likes of Macron & Co to get to know him, to trust him - in the meantime he needs just to keep smiling and making himself known.
Brexit brought about a divide, remainers and leavers, he tries his utmost to avoid any conversation on the word 'brexit' - a very sensible move imho, and that is from someone who will never support a rejoining of the EU until the day I die - but what I will support is rational conversation and that benefits everyone on both sides of the fence.
Some will have me believe that's all they've ever wanted, I don't believe them, never will, but me, I'm happy for a market that does not include conditions that wouldn't be accepted for any other monopoly, nothing should be a closed shop, so I will always have a certain amount of distrust, but I can bite the bullet and keep listening to rational and constructive conversation.
Keir is not to blame for the Leeds RIOTS, Keir is not to blame for the recent migrant deaths in the channel and landings. He seems like he means well, so I'm happy to give him a chance, along at the same time of laughing along with you, when you menshy him for stuff, because that's how this place ticks.
He's like a club football manager to me in regards of contract, these are the goals, you got two years to achieve x y z....or in the case of a Prime Minister, the next 4-5 years...
At the moment I'm merely an observer, I don't expect to be top, but expectation at a minimum is play-offs along with a stable team pulling together as one.
Exactly why I said a Labour Government with just a working majority could have been good of us, having seen what happened in the Tories over the last five years how can we be sure that Starmer will still be there in five years time, a week is a long time in politics, five years is a lifetime
I'd like to see in politics a system where you can't replace the person voted in at a General Election, and that for a party to do so, it has to go back to the polls. Imagine me, voting Keir in, then being kicked out for Thornberry to replace him without going back to the public, I'd have a melt down.

I would be more worried if it was Tony Blair
