    Rees-Mogg boils a live puppy every time he loses a bet.

    I have no idea as your modus operandi seems to be to just throw out vague, hate-filled stuff in accordance with your own personal bias without really articulating any concrete facts. :)

    Incidentally, I don't care for JR-M either, but doubt he's particularly crooked. I suspect much of the hate towards him is borne of his plumby accent and privileged upbringing more that anything particularly tangible, i.e. he's rich and privileged ergo he must be bent.

    If the Iranians do call him bell-end, I hope they will show respect and call him Sir Bell-End :)

    Convincing the masses to want something they’re too thick to know is bad for them and using that to his advantage isn’t a great thing either but it’s probably more the poshness and old-fashioned suits.

    Give the guy a chance. Bit early to be expecting a ruthless cull after …….what was it,7 minutes in post? He was the only credible candidate in the running but has his work cut out making up lost ground for largely being the author of a hopeless position on Brexit.

    Starmerites. What do they actually stand for? Wouldn't worry about power and control. He just needs to find his own Cummings. There always enough ambitious politicians around to rally around a new slogan and party line even if it is preaching as gospel something that is the polar opposite of the predecessor's line.

    Of course not. Not every one who is rich and privileged is bent. Look at Prince Andrew.

    What we know is that he's slightly right of Corbyn and decidedly left of Blair. His shadow cabinet appointments so far have been unexceptional. Anneliese Dodds (shadow chancellor) seems a decent person, not a strong character. I'd never have singled her out for her financial acumen. But for me, she's much more acceptable than that lying toad, John Macdonnell. So I think we'll see an improvement in Labour's fortunes under Sir Keir, but they're not going to set the world on fire. And because of coronavirus, and the current need for "big state", the Tories are stealing Labour's clothes by the day.
