Sir Kier Starmer Elected Labour Leader

[Darat]

As was clear to everyone, yet you simply had to remind others that this thread was not about Corbyn.

And it isn’t it is about the new leader and asking how he will be treated, I used parody of attacks on the last two labour leaders to illustrate what I expect will happen to this leader.

I'm not a Labour supporter, but it's good to see a leader of the opposition with policies that might actually get voted for, and apparently the skills to make a case and hold the government to account. The previous incumbent may have been subject to the usual monstering by the right-wing press, but he did himself no favours at all, not even attempting to score on many occasions when the Tories presented him with an open goal.

I think there's a lot of truth to that, but on occasions he did land very solid blows, particularly in PMQs, but reporting was very limited.
