This is the problem, mate. We don't have an opposition with Starmer leading the party.So you are happy to stick with the Tories then? Sounds like you must be as you have just rubbished the opposition.

He’s cowering away from the newspaper barons but if he had any conviction he’d spend the next 12-18 months banging on and on and ON about the savage cuts, deaths, fraud, tax avoidance, austerity, increasing homelessness and endless corruption we’re enduring under this current Tory shower. You just can’t cower away when you’re in a crisis. People NEED somebody in authority to stand up for them.

You know exactly what I mean. An opposition is supposed to oppose the government. Starmer usually leaves that to the SNP.The Polls disagree with you
Of course I’m not happy to stick with the Tories. But I’m allowed to express concern about the direction or messaging or proposals of the opposition.So you are happy to stick with the Tories then? Sounds like you must be as you have just rubbished the opposition.
Fair enough - message deletedYou know exactly what I mean. An opposition is supposed to oppose the government. Starmer usually leaves that to the SNP.
You are part of the problem.Some absolute rubbish posted on here. To claim Labour had massively popular policies at the last election is a joke. The tories had a massive win and left Labour trailing in their wake.
Starmer is much more electable and knows that to get in power he can't just say he will spend spend spend.
The left wing of the party will never accept him, but people like me who did not vote Labour for the first time in nearly 50 yrs of voting will be coming back to the party at the next election. Starmer has got what it takes.
That’s out of order fellaYou are part of the problem.
In 2017 they did and they came within touching distance despite the establishment onslaught, probably one of the best manifestos I have seen ... this ensured that they quadrupled their efforts for 2019 and it was then lost. This is not the same thing as saying the policies were unpopular.Some absolute rubbish posted on here. To claim Labour had massively popular policies at the last election is a joke.

Is it? Why? If more people like him had voted Labour in the last election we wouldn't be in this mess.That’s out of order fella
Ha, now I know I made the right decision.You are part of the problem.
Given that context - I get it.Is it? Why? If more people like him had voted Labour in the last election we wouldn't be in this mess.
Did you ? genuine question ... were you already in a Tory safe seat ?Ha, now I know I made the right decision.
Let's give him a chance shall we?
Alternatively we can continue the race to the bottom.
We're two years out from an election, why would they be setting out their full policy manifesto now?What does this mean? He's leader of one of the main political parties and has been for 3 years now. It is (or at least recently was) the largest party in Europe. If that's not "a chance" what is?
We shouldn't see a government being elected without divulging what their policies are (as per Boris Johnson) as a norm.
I preferred krishnan guru Murthy’s response to the tories.Hugely disappointing and so predictable
Private-public partnerships.
No big checkbook out in his own words.
Sorry there's no way out this mess other than spending if we are to restore public services to capable working levels.

Just one policy would be nice. Problem is that we all know that Starmer is completely untrustworthy. He got elected leader on a pack of lies.We're two years out from an election, why would they be setting out their full policy manifesto now?
No I wasn't. My vote goes to who I feel would make life better for me and my family. That was never going to be Corbyn for reasons I have gone over many times on here and won't be doing again.Did you ? genuine question ... were you already in a Tory safe seat ?
