He's just not able to play the game is he? We are so conditioned to performative politicians, dogwhistles and the like that he'd look totally insincere trying it. That will make it hard to cut through with the masses.
It also explains the way in which he's walked a line of not being seen close to Corbyn or Boris et al. has left him looking a bit beige and unappealing to many. His performance just now on the BBC did highlight one thing.
He's the most likely to be utilitarian in sorting out the absolute mess he'll inherit. A bit like Atlee after WW2 it might be what we need as a nation. I doubt he can achieve something quite as seismic, or some people will appreciate just how bad everything is right now though.
Whatever he does he's going to be unpopular with some though isn't he? |  |

I’m sure he’ll be excellent at shoring up the left side of the establishment and sticking it to the unions and sitting on his hands over child poverty and widening gaps in society.
He and his cabinet will provide amazing cover for the status quo and the muzzling of any opposition/alternative. |
He probably won't declare himself "friends" of Hamas and Hezbollah, that's for sure. |  |

Of course not. He’s no friend of Palestinians in the wider sense, let alone going to speak with the de facto leaders of the armed resistance.
He’d rather support the status quo and power in the region, and the ongoing occupation and oppression that comes with it. |  |

I’m guessing his free trial of Simpsons Meme Creator has run out.
Another one in the bin. |
Or Phil finally banned the idiot. | |

A couple of snippets from Politics Live on the Guardian.
First, the conference is likely to be overshadowed by what's going on in Israel.
Second, Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said that it would be very difficult for Labour to improve public services without raising taxes, which it appears to have ruled out. [Post edited 9 Oct 2023 9:17]

Although could it mean Labour will go after collecting taxes? Or will they raise them for those most comfortable as a vote winner?
Israel is a horrible situation, made worse by the Tories and their shills using it as point-scoring material every other breath with some bizarre takes. | |

Like this one for example (which I know you've already seen Mullet) from my godforsaken local MP:

Yep, daft and racist, she should have apologised immediately and just taken a loss of face for her ignorance.
The amount of people demanding Sadiq Khan lights up London in the Israeli flag as if it's not a part of the UK was quite the coordinated spamming by CCHQ last night. | |

I didn't know that was happening as I'm not on social media. How low can the Tories get? |  | | |

Rachel Reeves came across pretty well.
Only one minor gaff which was saying she would wage war on Tory's huge spend on consultants in the same passage as commissioning an independent inquiry on HS2. I do appreciate the inquiry is the boiler plate answer though to anything difficult but that would probably be the most expensive inquiry in history. |  |

With the way the mainstream and social media are now I think who ever gets into power will not stand a chance as there is no place to hide anymore. Expect to see the Tories and Labour swap power at every GE from now on. |  | | |

Starmer will be a less bad PM than anything the Tories have had to offer. But that's like saying it's better to have syphilis than malaria. Neither option is particularly appealing. |  | | |
