Fair play to the man. He has a big job to do repairing the damage of the last few years, but he is giving it a go.
No, this is about sorting out his own issues.
I thought he handled that particular point very well. The unconscious bias point. He is leading from the front, something in my opinion is very welcome. Making it available to others and removing the “asking others to do what he won’t do himself” stuff. Bravo.
Kier is showing himself to be a leader. Ready to support the Government in some stuff, challenging in other stuff. Grown up politics. He is streets ahead of the last two leaders. OK, he is now enjoying a honeymoon period, but he has a refreshing approach. The guy has potential and at long last Labour has a leader capable of building an election winning party at some point in the future. Unlikely in four years time.

Really don’t understand RedO. I listened to the Keir Starmer phone in. OK, it was more on the lines of a party political broadcast as he was never really challenged on his views. But he came across really well. Of course tougher times will come as we approach an election but the guy thus far is a credible leader.
The likes of Corbyn and Ed Milliband Will consign Labour to a party in opposition, a party of protest. Also rans. Plenty of noise but never getting into power where that can change things. Pointless. Starmer has the potential to change that. Why would any Labour Party supporter not want the chance to win an election?
The Corbyn approach to win an election has been trashed. The Blair approach to win an election has been proven. Not rocket science.
Did Starmer answer the PM’s question put to him on schools being safe? As per the Nick Ferrari interview the other day? If so what did he say as I missed the show today. Thanks.

This is just 7 months in to an 80 seat majority. If this is the 'honeymoon period' then I can't wait to see the messy divorce.
Meanwhile, last week, Starmer QC overtook the Etonian Spaffer as to who would make the best Prime Minister.
Tories doing well?
Labour Party finished?
In your dreams!
It just goes to show what a difference having a decent leader makes. Corbyn/Milliband - The wasted years. I hope people are starting to realise this now. Taken a long time for the penny to drop.

When you have the likes of Clarkson, Farage and Dohnut saying what a good leader you are, you have to take a long, hard look at yourself.
NuneatonO post says it all. And that is saying something,
Absolute scum. He needs smashing up to bits, these people are the filth of the earth.
What I will add is he is not the only one doing it either then or now who reside or have resided in the house. I really believed in Watson when he was going after the nonces in either house really and then I guess he was warned off and he did as he was told.
Round them all up and throw away the keys. Scum the lot of them.

On a similar note I find the whole 'the elites/illuminati/whatever are a group of international nonces' a really particular and odd claim. Is the thought process that because they have the power and are corrupted by it, they think they can get away with anything, even this sort of crime? Or is it that anyone is capable of that if they rise to such lofty position?
Not disputing your post as obviously there is history in this for certain. Just I keep reading stuff about it on every form of social media, tied into this thread that anti-Labour types like to share that rubbish text message style viral post about Starmer not prosecuting Savile.
"Captain Hindsight" still not convincing the voters though...doesn't seem like the "competent, likeable, decisive, knee-bending, wealth tax-flip-flopping" Sir Kier is winning on all fronts yet...
The latest Times/YouGov voting intention results suggest that the race between the two main parties has stabilised. After an initial period of excitement where Labour narrowed the gap from 20 points to just six in the space of three weeks, the Tory lead climbed back slightly to 8-10 points and has stayed at about this level ever since.
Early days though, quite happy to give him time to sort it out.
Quite strange that you refer to Starmer as Captain Hindsight; when all that Johnson has been doing recently, is bringing in measures months after the horse has bolted.
There's plenty of time for further self-implosion with Spaffer & Co.
Pandemic mismanagement aside, I'm absolutely convinced that as from 1st Jan 2021, we will see the greatest demise of the Tory Party in its history.
