#KEIR STARMER

“I’m not like Boris Johnson in any respect, there’s almost nothing we have in common”

@Nirvanacra­ig: Sir Keir Starmer is an intelligen­ce asset whose goal is to stop socialism in the UK.

@Markvipond: Dreary

Keir can't even aspire to be Boris. The PM has shown leadership qualities that Starmer couldn't ever dream of possessing. They're in completely different leagues: Boris is top of the Premiershi­p; Starmer is struggling to get out of the Conference.

@Hansniesun­d: Also disappoint­ed with Starmer but at least he recognises the two greatest failures of the last few years have been Remain and Corbyn. Now as Labour is being torn apart by people determined to repeat one or the other, the Tories are moving to ensure they can never be dislodged.

@JJ85221431: Keir Starmer hasn’t got what it takes to be Bungle from Rainbow! He’s missed the biggest open goal in world political history-= and as for his “long game”, England’s worst ever test match would be a joy to watch at the side of his political strategisi­ng.

@kelly_ds01: You clearly don't follow politics very closely if you don't understand Starmer’s push for Remain and the damage that it caused Labour.

@b184xp7: I'll admit... I admired the man and saw hope in him when he was first elected Labour leader, and did a marvelous job at making Boris look like an idiot at PMQS. However, the shine's come off him and it's a worry. Losing Hartlepool may cost him his job, I fear.

@Mrslesleyk­emp: He is trailing behind in the polls because he is not listening to Labour voters. I will never understand why people voted for him in the leadership election. I certainly didn't.

@rob_phd: Seen as less ‘radical’ than Corbyn who failed to engage with most Labour voters.

@Mikesmith0­4: As a Democratic Socialist, I don't think Keir Starmer has what it takes to be leader of the UK Labour Party, let alone be Prime Minister. He's not cut out for politics.

@iamlindasa­rah: Just be a man with strong conviction­s about things that matter. A man who cannot be bought by big companies. Be a man who understand­s Labour, its origins, principles and then act. Do the things that show you are passionate about change. Just be an honest, courageous man.
