I think realistically these are the achievable targets of Sir Keir Starmer’s government- there is nothing on the nonsense of the £XXbillion green investment… certainly no mention of the very tricky balancing act between the Unions and Labour supporting business that is the “Worker’s Rights Review”nor the 1.5 million new homes.He’s not fooling me as I think it’s just more politicians guff but as he’s nailed on to get to no 10 we’ll see how this works out. Do you need charisma to be the PM? If so I think he’s in trouble
All in all I think this is a good move - it’s a page out of Tony Blair’s playbook.
Tony Blair and several others connected to the Tony Blair Institute are seemingly very involved with planning for Government behind the scenes and I think the party are beginning to take a more professional approach because of that

well Brown and May didn't have any, and look how well they did. oh. though not that bad, i dont think the electorate are that bothered right now, dull and competent will do.He’s not fooling me as I think it’s just more politicians guff but as he’s nailed on to get to no 10 we’ll see how this works out.

the promises are simple, soft, easily sold. the detail is problematic, though few will look at that. shame there's nothing about housing/planning, thats more difficult.

Well, Atlee is frequently voted the best PM of the 20th century and he was completely charisma free ("A modest man, with much to be modest about"). I think we've had enough strutting popinjays.Do you need charisma to be the PM? If so I think he’s in trouble

True but times have changed and “beige” no longer cuts it with most people for those in power does it?
Come on Rishi. We need more of the same. Not these wishy washy labour types who keep coming up with new ideas. Boo. BOO!Or how about the “Ed Stone”
No. We like a florid jackass, with jokes, a roving cock, and long words used carelessly.

You are SO Left I doubt anything that wasn’t would bear consideration
Anyway I am not a political animal, just querying if Starmer is the man for the job he is guaranteed to get. I have no axe to grind with Labour being in power.
Not according to people on the left am I 'left'. All Blair and no Corbyn, here.You are SO Left I doubt anything that wasn’t would bear consideration

The answer to your question of course is we have no idea.
Blair was 'Bambi' in the build up the his first win. Seems weird now.
None of the trope-slinging has any meaning presently.
You will simply have to be patient, young man

Really? Shallow people will probably vote for shallow people if they shout loud enough and claim that's what counts as personality!!

All conducted while launching family values as the centrepiece of their strategy. And some bod will come along here insisting that Starmer is a hypocrite. 'Centrist' John is the very height of hypocrisy.You mean the under the radar Sex God?

I know I am going to get piled onto for this BUT you don’t get to host HIGNFY if you don’t have some charisma.
Say what you like about him and 90% of it is probably right but he got elected because he was seen as being charismatic ( liar, self interest and bungling became obvious very soon afterwards)
Am I right? Can you see a world where Starmer hosts HIGNFY?
Waits for someone to point out that he has
