Starmer is very good at pmqs the downside is I’m not sure how many votes it will win labour as at a guess and it is a guess the people who watch pmqs normally no who they will vote for
is that your best answer?
Performance at PMQs is probably overplayed a bit. The value is in what it can achieve in probing government policy and holding the government to account. This is where Starmer really has excelled. The tone at PMQs has shone the spotlight on the care home failure, brought it into focus, forced promises on testing and tracing that the government is now under pressure to deliver. And now it has has helped to bring about a u-turn in policy that was desperately needed in the interests of fairness and decency. And the pressure to make that specific change now reflects a significant step on the ladder towards changing the whole narrative on immigration. Well played sir.

Those two words, Jonathan explain why this government could so easily trip itself up in a way that would have most in the country scratching their heads at its incompetence.
The Speaker dealt with Hancock brilliantly yesterday. None of Bercow's over the top acting. Just a blunt Lancashire accent, smacking him down, "Do you want to leave the Chamber? We're in maximum numbers and I'd be only too happy." That's how to deal with stroppy kids.
Just wondering how the opinion polls for Starmer are going. Anyone know?https://twitter.com/georgeeaton/status/1264285856677888006

That's a remarkable turnaround. Not only is Starmer mike's ahead in net approval, he's overtaken Johnson on the simple approval score. Johnson has always been Marmite - high approval AND disapproval. For a brand new leader to overtake him on approval score after just a month in the job is way beyond anything Labour would have dreamed of.
While good for labour we have been here before in different polls the only result that matters is in the general election, so many times on this forum before the last election we were told the gal is closing and it’s a hung parliament
