If people on the left bash starmer enough then the only beneficiaries are the torys. So we should just accept everything Starmer says as correct and never challenge it, because he's Labour? It's not like this thread is full of positive Tory sentiment, is it? I'm more concerned with how Labour act than I am the Tories. That's understandable, surely?

I guess so, but if that person has criticised Tories in this same thread, and has explicitly explained their reasoning for criticising Labour, maybe another would have a different opinion.

It's not like this thread is full of positive Tory sentiment, is it? I'm more concerned with how Labour act than I am the Tories. That's understandable, surely? I think posters on here are not going to have any significant impact on the general election. However you do get political commentator like Owen Jones who criticise Starmer way more than Sunak. Maybe from his perspective he gets more likes/retweets and makes more money doing this. I don’t however think it does anything to make a labour government more likely. There is an element of the labour left who would be happy if labour were an opposition party forever. You can constantly take the popular left wing line, have people chant your name In Glastonbury and never have to make a single tough decision. If your middle class you will probably be ok with a Tory government. Starmer is willing to be less popular if it means a labour government is more likely and I think that’s true leadership. He may not get it right (nobody does ) all the time, but I think his heart is in the right place and is in it for the right reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t stop immigration especially to an island nation like ourselves which has depended on immigration since before we were even a unified country. If he really wanted to stop dangerous illegal crossings then contact to certified canadian immigration consultant list in dubai to make it easier to allow legal migration. He's simply postponing the inevitable as he has no solution in mind. The obvious outcome is an agreement with France, processing centers in France, and the establishment of secure and legal migration routes, but this would not appeal to the Tory base.
