Starmer hasn't brought the party together. In the recent by-election, he seemed to think people would vote Labour as a matter of principle, no matter what their policies are.
Part of the reason why our country is in such a mess is because of Tony Blair and his idealism. The public don't forget so easily!
Things will not change, but we can at least consider the UK is by-and-large a democracy and, let`s face it, there are tens of thousands of foreign people who would like to live in Britain.
............but do let`s be a little patient. Johnson has been coping with Brexit while having the biggest threat to the UK economy EVER. I don`t like his Old Etonian cronies either.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL (even the bloody fools who cant see my point of view !)
There is have a fascinating situation in British politics. Boris Johnson has thanked many Labour voters for "lending" him their vote, so he certainly does not want to be the prime minister who lost them. He will have to redress the balance between North and South before the next election.
As a pragmatic voter, I do hope Johnson`s lust for power helps level the economy of Britain. I do think that Starmer is the best leader of the Labour Party for many, many years.
Starmer has abstained on important legislation namely the spy cops bill and was named Mr abstainer and Mr Hindsight. And worse was him backing Johnson bad deal when doing so would then be unable to hold him to account, as he supported the deal. He did not have to whip his MPs to vote for this as the Tory party has a majority so it would have passed without Labour backing.
Johnson has the most corrupt government ever He gave billions to Tory backing private firms without tender cronyism for PPE and Test and Trace who have not delivered when he could have given contracts to local health authorities.
And if you think that he will keep his promise, he is a know liar and level up north and south, with 10 years of Tory austerity already and corruption that is wishful thinking.
This is a very good video by this lady

Suspending members not letting CLP discuss Corbyn's suspension and refusal to restore the whip?
Do you think the right of the party just want rid of the left who don't back them and that included the many thousands who joined Labour because of Mr Jeremy Corbyn?
Do you think this is the wrong way to lead a Labour Party which is supposedly there for the working man? KS was elected as a unity candidate Is this more like disunity?
