Seriously, if Starmer is not up to this job - which he patently isn't - he should make way for someone who understands how politics works, how to connect with people, and what they actually want from politics. Clue: it's not Continuity Tory.

The total lack of any kind of story for us to believe in is the clearest sign that neither this besuited dog nor the tails that wag him have an iota of imagination, purpose or courage

Isn’t the problem the system, clearly copied from Lemmings? Politicians don’t work nor does the system, it & its leaders are demonstrably destroying life itself & gaoling those peacefully highlighting the fact. Politicians & their corrupt system are the problem, unfortunately extinctions at stake.

Who do you think is best suited to take his place? I do feel we need an alternative, but I'm not sure who that is.

... Clive Lewis, even Rayner would be an improvement. She's hated by the right wing press which is a good sign.

I don't think Raynor has enemies in the press due to her staunch egalitarian, leftist principals. She is (depressingly) loathed by the right because she is a) a woman and b) working class.

He needs to make a speech, and be frank, explaining how many migrants there are, the tiny percentage of whom are asylum seekers, and tell people to get their act together and stop being racist. So what if that turns off the racists?

There are more than 10 million immigrants living in the UK. The number of asylum seekers is tiny compared to that.

Well, once you've given the "island of strangers" speech I'm not really sure you can turn around and give the "don't worry racists, there aren't so many immigrants, really" speech. Labour is done for anyone with any heart.

This. He really does. Stop putting out tweets and saying shite to show how tough he is on illegal migration etc., that just helps feed the divisions at same time as pissing off labour's liberal base even more. It is a terrible self defeating strategy that isn't helping anything or anyone.

When you get to a certain level of journalistic ability and reach, you're in danger of doing hapless politicians' jobs for them. I just suggested this to another journalist and author, but I very much had you in mind as well as I wrote the words.
