Mandelson

[Derek Hardballs]

I didn’t go to the football yesterday so probably not best placed for an opinion as I spent the game half watching whilst enjoying playtime with my granddaughters.

You seem to be getting confused, when the Tories were mired in similar, albeit much more regular and balls out denied, I was asking for a change in government. And it doesn’t surprised me that you see politics in the same way as football as it seems to be the modern way. No solution, don’t care approach in politics causes problems with the country’s standing and therefore investment likelihood.

I’ll ask again who woujld you like to replace Starmer as leader of the country?

You can ask but I’m not going to answer you because I don’t know who will stand. I would have said Burnham but the myopic right of the Labour Party put pay to that. Starmer is deeply unpopular, has no real convictions, he’s not an asset to winning the next election. 

I have never joined a political party and never will, my wish for a new Labour leader is for the party to be electable, and there is no fugging way Reform or what is left of the Tory vote will vote for Labour at the next election. The only way they will get anywhere near reelection is to win back the left of electorate McSweeney and co have advised Starmer to abandon in some wild goose step sorry chase for Reform voters.
