[Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

That's not accounting for the prawn sandwiches.
Just watching KS’s speech, now Q&A in Dudley. Hoping for policy meat on the bone, I didn’t hear any, just cliches 
. Guess I’ll have to learn to be patient.
Obviously an echo chamber audience, but the feeling was clearly that Labour will have power within months.

Almost sounds like a form of corruption....
Your point being? Do you expect the imminent PM of the UK to be down with the kids in the regular seats? Unworkable given the security he’d need.
I would answer “draw your own conclusions”

I thought that his father being a toolmaker, his mother being an NHS nurse and him attending State school and Leeds University were all commonly known facts. It appears I was mistaken
I posted that 12 days before Private Eye mentioned it yesterday. I'm a genius.

As ever, the fella is only talking to disaffected Tory voters, who might, just might switch their allegiance and for the first time are actually listening to what the leader of the opposition has to say

If he has any good policies the Tories will steal them shamelessly. Any other policies will be ruthlessly submitted to forensic examination by the right wing press and the right wing thinktanks until they can find anything negative. So, he keeps it light on policy.Just watching KS’s speech, now Q&A in Dudley. Hoping for policy meat on the bone, I didn’t hear any, just cliches

However, he's going to have an awful inbox to deal with when he gets in, 2 terms before we things really start to improve
Repeated every time Starmer wants to sound like one of the people. Thatcher did the same with her father having been a shopkeeper. Just a silly example of attempted spin that has no relevance to the individual's ability to lead the country. Stalin's father was a shoemaker and I'm not sure how much that helped the Russian people.I thought that his father being a toolmaker, his mother being an NHS nurse and him attending State school and Leeds University were all commonly known facts.

While this incompetent cabal, in a complete state of panic, are manically charging around shooting one another in the feet and stabbing one another in the back on a daily if not hourly basis, would it really be a good idea to throw a few targets in the air and distract them

Well I would imagine someone who wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth, heavily financed through public school and then fast tracked into a political career, may have a better understanding of how the average Brit lives.
And I'm not sure what is 'spinning' about stating simple facts, but probably sums up where we have been dragged to in this post truth world today

I suppose he feels that the Tories are doing such a good job of losing the election on their own that he doesn't really need to put forward anything concrete himself.

Nice use of 'cabal' there.While this incompetent cabal, in a complete state of panic, are manically charging around shooting one another in the feet and stabbing one another in the back on a daily if not hourly basis, would it really be a good idea to throw a few targets in the air and distract them
