Meh, I'd rather vote for a houseplant than Boris Johnson.
What an absolute flop Keir Starmer has been.
He's been hopeless as opposition leader when it's pretty much been a wide open goal this past year. The problem is, as you have pointed out, he has no charisma and unfortunately that is probably what most people vote for in the end. Don't get me wrong, he would be a safe pair of hands right now and I'd take him as leader any day.I like Sir Keir. He might not be most charismatic of people, but he obviously has very strong principles and is a decent person. Which is far more than can be said for Boris.
I like to think he is biding his time and building up a failure dossier for later use closer to the election. However, he has been a bit wet - you just want him to react a bit to Johnson's BS sometimes. If Ed Millband can find and use his teeth at PMQs then it surely can't be too hard?He's been hopeless as opposition leader when it's pretty much been a wide open goal this past year.

It's not a wide open goal when the Tories' media mates aid and abet the government and don't hold them to account. It wouldn't matter who the Labour leader is. This country is beyond fucked as a consequence.He's been hopeless as opposition leader when it's pretty much been a wide open goal this past year.

I’m inclined to agree. Her work history isn’t great. She used to work for Savid Javid until that didn’t work out, and I’m fairly sure managed out of HQ for generally being bit poor and her expense record was staggering, at one point wasn’t she caught for taking work Taxis to private events according to the media.I think Carrie will be Boris’ downfall. The decorating saga is really bad.
I don’t understand how she can be so tone deaf after holding Director of Communications roles in a number of organisations.
I also have always thought since way back when she dated Harry Cole, now The Sun’s Political Editor, that she is addicted to drama and attention.
Also find it fascinating from a psychological perspective that she, the product of an affair herself, has found love and happiness with Boris - serial affair-haver.
I'm hoping there is a strategy there but I'm very nervous that there isn't one. He is going after the Labour membership with a hammer so I know he's got it in him. He's been harsher on Jeremy Corbyn than he has Boris Johnson and that's the truth.I'm hoping Starmer is playing the long game and letting them all hang themselves. He is a lawyer after all.
I was so hopeful when Starmer started that we would have a decent opposition but he's not wowing me. The government have fucked up everything yet are still doing relatively well in the polls. It's been handed to Starmer on a plate but he's not taking advantage of it at all.I'm hoping there is a strategy there but I'm very nervous that there isn't one.

It's pretty grim. But you have to ask yourself what the hell is going on with the general population of this country that the Cons are still riding high after the last year? What will it take to open people's eyes? Because the worst death rate in the world and an utterly destroyed economy hasn't done it. I despair.I was so hopeful when Starmer started that we would have a decent opposition but he's not wowing me.

I don't understand why anyone would vote Tory tbh after their whole current run but yet here we are.It's pretty grim.

Same here he is a disappointment its almost like he is backing the Tories by not presenting a credible opposition. Waste of space.....I was so hopeful when Starmer started that we would have a decent opposition but he's not wowing me.

i don't really have much hope tbh. starmer's been pretty good at the PMQs, but most people don't watch the PMQs.I'm hoping Starmer is playing the long game and letting them all hang themselves. He is a lawyer after all.
The Tories just don't have an opposition. I am disappointed in Starmer he is pretty much waste of space. There is so much he could oppose and fight against bit he doesn't do anything.i don't really have much hope tbh. starmer's been pretty good at the PMQs, but most people don't watch the PMQs.
other than that, what is he doing? I keep pretty up to date with the politics of this country and literally can't think of a single thing Starmer is fighting for or against lol. absolutely crazy how weak the opposition is when there's SO MUCH to criticise the current government on!
the lack of charisma also doesn't help him. as much as I dislike Boris Johnson and almost everything he stands for, he does have some charm and is also pretty polarising- almost everyone has an opinion on him and he elicits both great love and absolute hatred from people.
on the other hand, Starmer is like the indistinct, boring muted grey or beige you'd paint your spare bedroom's walls with because it's a fairly standard, inoffensive colour and because it's on special offer at Homebase
The difficulty is that at the moment the country want the policies adopted by Johnson. They want us to be nasty to foreigners, they want us to stuff the EU, they want asylum seekers to be left at sea or sent to Turkey or whatever country Patel sends them to, irritate the scots so they vote SNP stopping Labour gaining any ground there, etc. A minority or us know that that this English Nationalism is stupid, but it's what the country voted for, and the majority of the media is whipping it up.The Tories just don't have an opposition. I am disappointed in Starmer he is pretty much waste of space. There is so much he could oppose and fight against bit he doesn't do anything.
Yes, he's good at PMQs because he's thorough and knows his stuff. As we know, that does not win elections.i don't really have much hope tbh. starmer's been pretty good at the PMQs, but most people don't watch the PMQs.
