couldn't even hear that protest sadly .... 

[steviewevie]

oop, another to take round the back and kick the sh*t out of.

[steviewevie]

Anyway, this is a good speech, not amazing cause Starmer will never deliver an amazing speech, but it's good.

Should of gone to specsavers, those Lord Alli glasses don't seem much kop at reading teleprompters

[steviewevie]

ultimately Reeves' speech was probably more significant.

[steviewevie]

so...if Starmer's popularity continues to plummet and they bin him before the next election who replaces him?

Reeves, Raynor or Streeting?

BET NOW!

Reeves is the next PM for sure*

I think our next PM will be Farage.

If she doesnt have to go through any kind of election- leadership or general- maybe. But cant see her winning any form of popularity contest.

 

A leadership election tomorrow would be a toss up between Ange and Wes, but hard to know the makeup of the remaining rump of the labour membership. Ange probably slight favourite still even given the shift Weswards in recent years.

 

But by 2029 who knows.

She's slipped into her government roll well and seems resilient.  Her speech yesterday seemed a bit prime ministerial - she's a better public speaker than Kier for sure.  I'm interested to see how she develops up to 2029.  Can't see Kier going anywhere before then. Unless he keeps randomly saying sausages instead of hostages. 

 

I like Angela but she doesn't strike me as a possible future PM.

People want politicians to be honest but at same time pretend that everything is going to be great.

[steviewevie]

those pesky unions have voted to bin the winter fuel benefit change.

[steviewevie]

doh!

 

[steviewevie]

glad labour conference is over so I don't have to see any more politicians be asked if they paid for their shoes.

just stick up income tax

Could argue that the early announcement of cut to winter fuel benefits just before summer recess and months before a budget was a PR disaster and a massive political error that they're struggling to recover from.
