I like her, I wish she could be our PM. <br /><br />Keir Starmer comes across well. I like him. Better then Corbyn. Corbyn was no better then Trump, trying to divide people. Corbyn was a spiteful and vindictive man. The Labour party is not just about one man (or woman). Even if I like Kier, I don't like the rest of the Labour party. Rayner should be booted out. I don't like her. I feel let down by Stephen Timms and Lyn Brown. In Labour strong holds, we are stuck with job for life MPs. Why is n't there a review of MPs, after two elections?<br /><br />I don't trust the Labour party, after the rotten state of politics under Robin Wales. Some of his bad decision impacted my life. The Labour party does n't have quality people in it (sorry if it offends). I am trying to think hard of the words "Be Kind".<br /><br />Nor do they attract people from a broad range of experience. Most Labour politicians have some cut and paste resumes. They are form the charity sector, NGO or Unions rep ;-) or did Politics at university. No different to the Torys who elected from public schools backgrounds. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733583.post-41360785324485836482020-10-20T22:46:08.791+01:002020-10-20T22:46:08.791+01:00politically very true. they are both a breath of f...politically very true. they are both a breath of fresh air and can win power for labourJohn Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269161145575667147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733583.post-32866660666312457032020-10-20T08:26:04.099+01:002020-10-20T08:26:04.099+01:00When I see Jacinda I think "Sir Keir Starmer&...When I see Jacinda I think "Sir Keir Starmer"... they are so alike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
