Don’t be worried! I wasn’t saying that she would be a good leader but pointing out that she has certain “qualities” lacking in many others and I questioned who would be better. That doesn’t equate to an endorsement. Having said that I would rather have her as my m.p. than most of the Labour lot .
I do understand where you're coming from on this and I actually find that she is the only Labour front bench politician I have any respect as she isn't a hypocrite with a hidden agenda like the others for but she's hopelessphilv said:

I wonder how many will be impressed with the proportionate cut in wages.
The additional costs of employing more workers to do the same amount fewer workers presently do.
Pensions, etc, etc.
Decreased competitiveness.
More likely to destroy job imho.

I realise he's not representative of all Labour supporters, but there are quote a few who want something for zero effort, or at the very least a slice of someone else's effort.

I'm sure her heart's in the right place (Biology?) but to me an Education Secretary with no proven record of education somehow seems a bit of an odd idea?

I wouldn’t want her as a primary school governor.

Surprised Watson hasn't mounted a serious challenge for the leadership by now. Can only think he is intimidated by the McDonnell/Momentum faction.
Keeping his head down after the Operation Midland scandal?IIRC he was elected directly by the membership, so he can pretty much show two fingers to any part of the party until the members see someone else they prefer.
Rumours that Keir Starmer hs been issued with side arm, a crack team of ex SAS bodyguards, a panic button and a body double have been dismissed as "the work of a tory led press" by momentum member Piotr Killinsky.
Killinsky went on to say that recent reports of Keir Starmers comments about Jeremy Corbyn to business leaders in Sunderland were either complete misquotes, taken out of context or that Keir was a traitorous right wing Tory Plant who was about to defect to the Lib Dems
Killinsky further added that Mr Starmer may be going on a fact finding mission abroad and may not be seen for some time

Keir was certainly right that Corbyn is toxic to Labour Party support. Heaven forbid though that the looney left find a plausible stooge to replace him. Corbyn has a key role, keeping the nutters out of office until hopefully some way can be found to return them all to the lunatic fringes of politics rather than the opposition front bench.

Getting people, even students, to vote for you is fair play though to be honest. Pi55es on Momentum whining that The Guardian is anti-Corbyn though. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep...

Dont know about yoj lot, but the advert at the top of this thread is about Israeli Bonds...
I dont know how to screenshot, but I would love to out that on twitter!
Crazy ain't it. I clicked on a left wing video channel the other day on Youtube (zero books) to be greeted by an advert for an Israeli anti-tank missile system!I dont know how to screenshot, but I would love to out that on twitter!
I was more worried by the fact that Youtube think I might want to purchase missiles than anything else, but still certainly one of the most bizarre adverts I have seen on social media.
