Should Starmer Resign?

[Bentley Bullet]

How embarrassing. He's just been torn a new arsehole by Sophie Raworth on the Sunday Morning programme, and even resorted to sniggering rather than answering a question regarding whether his rule-breaking on restrictions was actually worse than that of the Downing Street incident! 

God help us.

[drfchound]

All the same?

Of course he should resign. Having a drink with your dinner whilst you are planning a by-election & local election campaign, is exactly the same as organising drinks in the garden to enjoy the sunshine, wheeling a suitcase full of booze down the street & booking a dj during a period of national mourning - and rehearsing a press conference to work out how to deny it to the public.

Altthough why someone who wont have a bad word said against the bloke making life or death decisions for the country yet can't recognise a party when he is at it, has the nerve to ask the question - well.

Inside glass houses too, during restrictions, throwing stones at those outside!

You should stand for leader of the opposition, Wilts. You'd have the job for years to come, based on your response is so much better than your leader Starmer's.

......Unless Starmer was in enough shite without stating stuff that he couldn't back up?

What I will say is that the Labour Party should hold an investigation and if it's found that Starmer did indeed break the rules the party should ask for his resignation .

get real tyke

Why is the Labour leader above the law too Sydney ?

Read my post again , I said an internal inquiry that would establish the facts .

Surely if Starmer broke the rules his position is untenable and you'd demand that Labour do the right thing ? .

Nobody is above the law , isn't that right Sydney ?????

[tommy toes]

Typical of the BBC to try and level things up.
What Starmer did pales into insignificance when compared to the Downing St shenanigans.
He was at a small meeting planning the by-election.
He was at work, the same as millions of other people who ate at their desks., while at work.

You should stop embarrassing yourself tyke, the burden of proof for this idea is worse than a midsomer murder plot

[phil old leake]

Bentley you’ve beat me to it

He was embarrassing. Major issue for the Labour Party who can replace him

The party is so split between Blairites and the Corbynites it will be a nightmare for them

Starmer looked incompetent this morning.  She really gave it too him and he struggled with it

[phil old leake]

I’m with you Hound.

The next election might well boil down to which party is the least unattractive

Starmer has made himself look a hypocrite and has no where to go with this

Whatever he expects Johnson to do he should follow suit

It’s not about which party anyone supports it’s about consistency

I know some on here will disagree but there can’t be one set of standards for one and another for the other

I think you'll find Sydney that it's Starmer who is embarrassing himself having just watched the interview he gave this morning .

My point is let's establish the facts , nothing more than that .

That shouldn't be too unacceptable surely .

He made it very clear what had happened in Hartlepool and it is in no way comparable to what Boris et al have been upto.

In the interests of trust and credibility then I'd suggest an internal inquiry would be best served to establish that with all due respect .

Mr Starmer has lost plenty of currency since he became leader and I'm afraid his word isn't acceptable as a consequence .

My leader? I thought I was a socialist leftie (like Tyke) - now I am a right leaning centerist without even noticing!

Who knew.

Same party but standing in a different corner.................. Oops, pardon the irony.

  Starmer should have been tried as a traitor six years ago and the key thrown away. I wouldn't trust him to go to the shop.
