Good show from Starmer. He looks extremely credible compared to Johnson in my opinion.

Starmer is absolutely brilliant, he's better than Johnson in every single possible way.

 

I love his attention to detail, I love how he went through papers at the dispatch box and I love how calm he remains whilst apart the ministers in front of him.

Very very good from Starmer. Bunting and clapping is meaningless if not combined with radical social change.  

I feel emotional reading that.

Here's hoping people take notice of this and the Tories 20 point lead vanishes.

The complete social inequality in this country makes me feel worse and worse as I get older. I'll never understand how you can vote for a party that will always put the needs of big business and their rich friends above the overall population. There was a chance with Corbyn but there's an even better one now with Starmer; we just have to take it.

Starmer is very good, being a QC he is used to talking and grilling people which is why he is good at PMs questions.

not sure about anything else though.

[jparx]

Team Starmer all the way. Hope that speech gets the coverage it deserves - the kind of rousing speech we should be getting from the government.

He's got 4 years to win you round.

Ooh, ta, that's interesting. I'd been thinking today how strange it is for them to balls up the comms. Their/Cummings' 'genius' in recent years has been in distilling complicated concepts into simple catchphrases and serving them to the public

Very interesting.

 

I hope Starmer is savvy enough to see this coming, his response so far gives some hope.

Starmer knows what he is doing. He has been very deliberate about not just criticising for the sake of it. So he has avoided that trap.

I personally like his approach of being supportive when he can be. Bit more frown up. I would be happy if he kept it up in 'peacetime'.

Some really great and worrying points in there. It speaks to a lot of the traps Corbyn fell in to and the Remain campaign before that.

Anyone seen this? Watched the other day. Had just read a 600-page book on Brexit (get me) and I thought it did a good job of distilling the main points into 90-odd mins. And explains how Cummings works.

Cumberbatch looks nothing like Cummings, they should have got Andy Serkis,

Agreed. I reckon people will be looking for a safe pair of hands after the trauma of this pandemic and the coming recession and he is doing a good job of coming across as just that.

If he wins the next election then great, that's better than the tories and we corbynites will have to admit that having someone who can play the game is probs the best way to win.

But how much a Labour govt gets done will depend on the ambition and imagination of the ministers that he appoints and his first appointments to the shad cab were lacklustre to say the least. I suppose it may be more a temporary pax keirstarmus one, to appease opposing factions but I dearly hope he ships out the many careerist dullards before the next election. The likes of jon ashworth, wes streeting, kinnock, doughty etc etc

Where ? U have a link ?  

[DeanoL]

It's either possible for Parliament to work remotely, in which case they should continue to do so (according to their own guidelines).

Or it's impossible for Parliament to work remotely, in which case Parliament has not been working the past few months and any legislation passed is null and void.

This is going to sound selfish but I want to go away. Even if I did, would there be nothing to do due to lockdown?
