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?

It's an interesting question B1.

Apparently the choice is between a guy who can't eat a bacon sandwich and a ginger tax evader who can't string a coherent sentence together.

14 years in opposition, and that's the sum of it. Wow.

Well no that’s no the whole field is it really. There is always the ‘do nothing’ option and aim for just a bit more stability, which as a man of financial awareness you know benefits the country. If t doesn’t work we can always fuck off to Spain i suppose.

McSweeney and Nestor in a few days.
Fucking brilliant.

Jonathan Powell would be my choice for the replacement.

Arf, Dekka getting excited about the unknown and the leadership scramble that takes attention off Reform. Let's ask the standard question - who would you like Dekka and what policies of theirs particularly appeals to you?

As bad as Reform voters - 'don't like', what do you want 'dunno'

Do you have that little confidence in the standard of the Labour MPs that were elected at the last general election or something that you cannot think of a single viable replacement to Starmer who has been a wet fart of a PM?

Not at all BB, just asking for someone to give me an alternative to consider and see if their policies stand up. I'm also very conscious that we have had 6 PMs in the last 15 years, the 6 before that lasted 36 years.

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.

So you want 'change from' without knowing what the 'change to' is.

There doesn't need to be a policy shift, is there nobody in your opinion in that frame of government who can step up and replace Starmer? Not even the Chancellor or the Foreign Secretary? It's hardly confidence inspiring that the government have much if any talent. Blair was right there when Smith died and Starmer is no John Smith or Tony Blair.
