            It's good to see that she's taken a break from lecturing freestaters about what it means to be a real irish person, in a manner that would terrify most self respecting harpies.

              Gawd help us.

                Rewarded? You will be rewarded? Fuck off, paternalistic nonsense.

                  The election of the Male Jess Phillips would be tragic and hilarious in equal measure.

                      It would also underline the inherent sexism within the party as he gets the top job over and above actual Jess Philips

                        That the GMB would support the eradication of democracy in the Labour Party only if the Party agrees to protect union jobs by not attempting to avoid the heat death of the entire planet and sack Ed Miliband into the bargain

                        The GMB would seem to be very cross indeed that this has been reported

                          The thing about Starmer is that he's a useless cunt in a useless cunt's clothing.

                          Politics? I shit 'em.

                            Points 2 and 4 would mean the abolition of private schools, making nepotism illegal, and confiscating inheritable wealth and property. I thoroughly support comrade Starmer's attempt to roll back the privilege of the ruling class.

                                Starmer was on the BBC London local news last night and seriously, bumblingly unimpressive - like even less impressive than he sounded, say, a year ago. You can see where the rumours that he might want out are coming from.

                                And yeah, Streeting as leader would confirm the conservative sexism of Sensible Centrism. It's the main reason Starmer got the gig in the first place in a field full of women. I mean, taking all the politics out of it, there was no way Nandy would have been a worse communicator and leader than Starmer, even though she is all over the place politically. Looking "prime ministerial" means looking white, male and middle-aged.

                                  Starmer always looks like a daytime soap actor trying to remember his lines off the script that was given him at breakfast.

                                      I remember during the CLP nominations stage of the leadership election, a not insignificant number of local parties returned a Starmer/Burgon nomination, too many to go unremarked on given that they weren't exactly easy bedfellows. There's a certain type of Labour Man who will go for the most left wing male in the field - so the only man in the leadership contest and Burgon outscoring Ian Murray on this count

                                      I shall now also point out that every black woman who has ever contested a national leadership election in the Labour Party has finished dead last

                                        Although in his case his script was written 20 years ago, by Peter Mandelson and David Evans, who are still pumping him full of it at every opportunity. You'd have thought he'd learned his lines by now.

                                            What a fucking prick. He has the blank eyed bastard expression of Robbie Keane crossed with an ill-prepared supply teacher. Fucking talk to the taxi drivers? Laughable shit, he's so fucking awful. Also, burn that suit.

                                                Good from McDonnell

                                                The fear is also that the public may now have a settled opinion of Starmer and, judging from the polls, it’s not one that believes he is a prime minister in waiting. He has abandoned the platform on which he was elected Labour leader, sidelined much of the broad team that got him elected and has reached for the Blairite playbook and resuscitated Blair’s old crew of Peter Mandelson as his consigliere, combined with an appetite for internal factional purges that makes the Kinnock era look tame.

                                                The result is we are witnessing something akin to the performance of a Blairite tribute band with the same old stunts and strategies being rolled out on schedule but with a great deal more venom. It starts with setting up a confrontation with his own party members to demonstrate the strong leader, exercising mastery over his party. Serious political analysis within the party is replaced with meaningless statements that have been focus-grouped to absolute banality. In prospect is a policy review that subjugates a meagre policy programme to the lowest common denominator demands of the rightwing media, big business and the City.

                                                  Sorry to be a downer, but I'm a little uncomfortable with all this slagging off of what Streeting looks like tbh. (He looks pretty unremarkable to me.) There's enough to criticise without that.

                                                    At least they aren't teasing him for being called Wesley
