Can Sir Keir Starmer revive the Labour Party?
Discussion
An industrialist friend was invited to a lunch with John McDonald when he was Shadow Chancellor. The election was a few weeks away and there seemed to be a real chance that Corbyn could win. My friend left in the middle of lunch as he'd been told he was the enemy and that Labour were coming for him. That weekend, he flew to Portugal to buy a house and apply for citizenship.

Brexit was about an important choice that faced our country.
This is just about which is marginally better to try and run the country.
It's really about who will have the best strikes and the best price rises
On the one side in the red corner you have Sir Keir
In the blue corner you have Rishi Sunak (that could change though)
Just outside the ring you have Ed Davey to pick up the loose towels and litter

I work in finance and heard tell of a lunch during the time pre the 2019 election when McDonnell was trying to present himself as being a reasonable chap, and generally a friend of business, finance and the City (you’d have to be pretty naive to believe that, however I digress). Apparently someone gently challenged him on whether some of his approach and policies would adversely impact economic growth, McDonnell’s mask slipped and he responded stating that revenge directed towards the wealthy was more important that economic growth. It may well be the same event we’re referring to. djohnson said:

Still I’m sure Andy Burnham will resign as Mayor after his reckless speeding conviction. Only right that Starmer asks him to step aside after he asked Sunak to resign over his fixed penalty notice. Starmer a man of principle and would of course want to be even handed !
What are you on about - this is PH! You need to go back to mums net dear. S600BSB said:

Yes getting to the heart of the issue. Though perhaps more about who is the worst to run the country with little prospect of better. Brexit was about an important choice that faced our country.

What idiot Burnham is. He forgot to film himself breaking the law and then release it as a promotional video.Still, it's 2-0 to Sunak.
