Just picture the chat between Jemima and Quentin, running the Twitter feed at Conservative Central Office.

G: Golly, I heard Boris is going to the conference in Manchester. I've never actually been north of Oxford. Where IS Manchester?

Q: (Putting on a fake Corra accent) Oop t'North lass. (Back to Home Counties). Remember. Where Gove said they all have toothless, mean faces.

G: Oh gosh I'm glad we don't have to go. Anyway, time to Tweet about our leader bravely heading there. Let's see if we can find a picture of him by the side of a train that looks like it's going oop north.

Yeah, Keir Starmer really gets the North doesn't he. So much that he influenced them to bring about Labour's biggest mullering since 1935.

If Keith is the alternative, here is what he said in Liverpool at the hustings for Labour leader;

Today, he writes an opinion piece in the Sun for Murdoch, despite the past history of that paper!

Keith's also defended Met boss Cressida Dick and called for her to remain in charge .

Which isn't entirely unsurprising given that Keith was head of the CPS when Jean Charles Menzes was murdered by the Met and they got away with it .

No case to answer for .

This was a bloke who was shot 7 times in the head from point blank range in broad daylight on a London street .

Fairly typical bog standard Establishment practice of which Keith is clearly a member .

Nearly as corrupt as Blair and his £300k tax avoidance that's broke today in the Guardian , Sydney must have missed it !!!! .

Centre of the Labour Party , the protectors of the system .

Not entirely sure what your point is Sydney with those remarks .

I've an association with the Met that goes back to the strike and clearly it's always been a paramilitary more than its been a keeper of law and order .

It was found to be institutionally racist following the Stephen Lawrence murder .

The murder of Sarah shows a catalogue of failures from the Met .

Keith as an establishment figure does his duty of course .

At least Harriet Harman says it how it is .

If you can't see the game that's getting played out here then there's nothing much I can say .

Keith will sell any principle he has if there are any for a whiff of power that much is clear .

Making all the right friends in the right places and cosying up isn't why the Labour movement was founded .

Perhaps he'd be better advised to join the real experts in the Tory Party along with the rumoured three other Labour MP's who are rumoured to be walking across the house to join Johnson .

Absolute embarrassment .

Tyke if you got out and rallied the troops and created a large enough voting cohort of the left to take power then you'd have something to shout about. I would have voted for Corbyn over the tories.

Well well see in due course how close Keith gets to the membership numbers and votes Corbyn won in 2017 .

And that's from a pretty flawed leader .

I don't have to rally the troops Sydney they merely need someone to vote for .

Keep up, Foxbat; it's all been explained in detail on here by Tyke and Albie.

The main reason is that the left of the Labour Party don't want Starmer to be known by the same Christian name as the great Keir Hardie.

It's about taking power away from the Tories .

Well it is if the alternative is better and there's nothing to suggest that the Labour Party are that .

The Tories are more likely to nationalise the energy companies than Labour given Keith's latest backtrack .

They've recently taken a railway back in to public ownership because it was in trouble .

Absorb that fact .

Keith says now is not the time to be talking about nationalising the energy companies .

Well when would be a good time , when the fecking lights go out or the elderly freeze to death this winter ?

Your the Labour Party leader you clown you aren't supposed to believe in the total free market you absolute moron .

Even Brown had the nous the bring the banks in to public ownership following the 2008 crash and he was about as left wing as Keith Joseph .

How can doing nothing be a better alternative Sydney ?

Your supposed to be opposing and providing credible alternatives .

Plenty to be going on with Sydney at the moment and Keith can't think of one single credible alternative policy .

Tell you why in my opinion and it is only my opinion .

He's too shyte scared to be left where the real ideas are and more concerned on not being Corbyn .

The place he's dragged the party is devoid of any ideas or policies that cut through .

We are the centre now and not those nasty left wing types .

Tyke I sometimes wonder about you, you don't appear to have a political bone in your brain.

When you run out of fact you start with insults that only to confirm the 'gammon' tag that has been thrown around, and you don't make political sense.

Everyone changes their minds, but in business and politics if you don't to some extent you'd be dead in the water quick smart, I'll wager my £100 to your £50 to go to the food bank that you cannot name a front bench politician that has never changed their minds at some point.

What would be the point in taking a policy to an election if you know it will cost you that election.

Liar.

He didn't lie to win the leadership did he .

You knew what he stood for at least economically .

Now you may have disliked him , disagreed with him but you knew what he stood behind .

He gave the party an identity .

Weak man and some pretty unsavoury meetings with equally unsavoury people was his nemesis but not what he stood on .

Starmer will not get near his 2017 vote share , not a chance .

I'd give Rayner a go , it's not exactly a particularly great pool to choose from to be totally honest but none the less if you insist on pinning me down .

Tyke I sometimes wonder about you, you don't appear to have a political bone in your brain.

When you run out of fact you start with insults that only to confirm the 'gammon' tag that has been thrown around, and you don't make political sense.

Everyone changes their minds, but in business and politics if you don't to some extent you'd be dead in the water quick smart, I'll wager my £100 to your £50 to go to the food bank that you cannot name a front bench politician that has never changed their minds at some point.

What would be the point in taking a policy to an election if you know it will cost you that election.

Ah the old all politicians lie retort .

So Johnson gets a free pass too then ?

Yes or no will suffice .

OK nome the people at present that you could vote for, JC changed his mind several times (lied) if not more.

I'm just off out love ................

Can you pick up some bread .................

Sure, I'll get one of those dark crusty loaves from that new shop that's opened up.

......................................

Hi darlin' I'm home ...............

Did you go to the new bread shop?

Well no, I went to the bookies and met Len, we went for a couple of pints so I picked up a mother's pride from the corner shop.

Liar.

He didn't lie to win the leadership did he .

You knew what he stood for at least economically .

Now you may have disliked him , disagreed with him but you knew what he stood behind .

He gave the party an identity .

Weak man and some pretty unsavoury meetings with equally unsavoury people was his nemesis but not what he stood on .

Starmer will not get near his 2017 vote share , not a chance .

I'd give Rayner a go , it's not exactly a particularly great pool to choose from to be totally honest but none the less if you insist on pinning me down .

I have told you if I had the option I would have voted for him, how many times?

So, JC never changed a policy position before he became leader?

Cameron even criticised him for not doing his bit .

Trying to compare him to Keith is plain silly .

From a backbench position in the 1970's when the Labour Party and trade unions were anti common market  to leader of the Party over 30 years later when 95% were EU fanatics isn't a fair comparisons when compared to Keith campaigning to nationalise the energy companies in a leadership campaign .

That article. Jesus, where to begin?

Corbyn immensely popular with voters? In the last week before the 2019 election, there was a poll that had him on -60% net approval. By comparison, Starmer has Kim Jong Un approval ratings.

Corbyn changed his mind on Brexit? Did he f**k. He was a lifelong believer in us being out of the EU. Havibg barely shown his face throughout the Brexit campaign, he was out in front of the cameras on Westminster Green at sparrowfart on 24 June 2016 demanding that Article 50 be invoked immediately. It was one of his major political ambitions achieved.

What he had to do during the campaign was to pretend he supported Remain because if he had been truthful, he would have been toppled as leader immediately. Hence that excruciating interview the day before the vote, on an obscure American far left internet channel where the interviewer asked him with barely suppressed incredulity how a lifelong Bennite could not be in favour of Brexit. And Corbyn replied (and I shit you not) that he understood the Left argument against the EU, but he supported Remain because plastic bags dropped in the sea off Colombia could end up washed ashore on beaches in Japan.

No way on God's earth did Corbyn vote Remain once he was inside the polling booth.

I don't think it's Tyke that's not listening and learning.

Steve what's frustrating more than anything is that Starmer is taking the Labour Party in the totally wrong direction .

The Regan and Thatcher creation of neoliberalism is massively on its ass and has been possibly since the financial crash in 2008 .

That's why we've had populism in the U.S with Trump and currently with the Tories and Johnson .

Trump and Regan are two totally different Republican US Presidents and Thatcher and Johnson are clearly two different UK PM's .

The Republican and Tory's saw Neoliberalism was on its ass and switched to populism to remain in the game .

The problem was the Trump reign and the capitol riots in January of this year scared the shyte out of the U.S. Establishment and realised they'd gone too far and created a monster .

We've also had a devastating global pandemic to deal with .

It could very well happen here with Johnson and what's occurring currently right now in the UK but possibly not to the extent it did in the U.S. .

Biden's seen the political space that's opened up , a very moderate democrat he may be but he's seen the left view with the state providing an unprecedented amount of dollars to recover the country and extinguish populism .

He'd the sense to use Bernie Sanders who is from the left not feckin purge him like we are seeing here with Keith .

State intervention is massively back in the game .

Keith's is placing his tanks on ground that no longer exists , somewhere that existed before the 2008 crash , Popularism and Brexit plus a global pandemic .

To say the world's changed is an understatement .

The Tories here have spotted this state intervention wave , now it may well be more rhetoric than policy but none the less they have spotted the space with levelling up , ending the low wage cheap Labour economy etc etc .

I repeat it may well be rhetoric for the benefit of my critics but they have huge media influence and are the best liars in the world so the policy doesn't have to match the rhetoric .

The energy is coming from a left direction and Keith can't see it and even back tracks on nationalisation of the energy companies whilst wages war with the ideas factory from the left .

Rhetoric is all the Tories need with the opposition going in the opposite direction from where an election is likely to be fought and won .

I dare say he may have more up his sleeve than he's shown as time ticks down to the next election but the signs aren't good I have to say .

A bit long winded I admit but that's my take .

Yep you're correct Steve, from the comfort of his armchair he's going to do what?

Lead the next revolution of the socialist alliance to win an election?

The left of the left are so relaxed about things they can't even be arsed to vote.

You have more chance of witnessing this (still a white hetero sexual male one) than seeing the Left of the Left win an election without the centre.

''The Ascension of Jesus (anglicized from the Vulgate Latin: ascensio Iesu, lit. 'ascent of Jesus') is the Christian teaching that Christ physically departed from Earth by rising into Heaven, in the presence of eleven of his apostles.[1] According to the New Testament narrative, the Ascension occurred forty days after the resurrection.[1] In the Christian tradition, reflected in the major Christian creeds and confessional statements, God exalted Jesus after his death,[2][3] raising him from the dead and taking him to Heaven, where Jesus took his seat at the right hand of God.[4]''

I do agree they need to follow through on policies.

I did though see a good point. The two leaders' speaches did contrast. One positive one quite negative.  Boris Johnson is very clever on that, turning negatives in to positives is a good strategy. Labour need to do that, be very questioning and critical but publicly create a positive image for the future.  Biden did that quite strongly in America, he focussed more on his aims than trump's failures.

The Tories have given 40% of the electorate what they want in Brexit. They got a boost from the success of the vaccine rollout.

YOU might think the Tories are useless, but there are millions of people out there who don't agree.

BUT. There's been a steady drift in Tory support since early summer. People will forget the vaccines. Some will start to question the wisdom of Brexit. More still will just be pissed off with higher bills and the air of crisis.

None of which will prevent Johnson being elected again if a million people on the Left insist on not voting Labour when the time comes because...principles.

But what can be done to entice those voters?

Personally, if there was an election tomorrow I'd be voting Green but if Starmer can prove to be a more inspiring figure and work towards some policies (no one's asking for a complete manifesto) then as someone who is center-left I'd be willing to listen...

Billy , The Tories have placed their tanks on what should be Labour's front lawn .

Levelling up , moving from a low wage low skill economy etc etc .

With all due respect the party is going to have to be far more radical than what you have linked to blow the rhetoric away .

They are going to have to first convince the electorate that Johnson is doing nothing of the sort whilst at the same proving they are the ones to level up , increase the minimum wage etc etc .

It's not the greatest start to backtrack on nationalisation of the energy companies when trying to convince the electorate you are the only genuine champion of Mr and Mrs Joe cost of living .

The first of the big six energy companies to fall in to great difficulty and the Tories take them over and Keith's going to look remarkably stupid to say the least .

I'd even say it would completely finish him .

I'm not against the policies you've highlighted by any means what I'm saying is it isn't going to be enough .

To beat Johnson's rhetoric Labour need way way less market forces speak and far more state will deliver the change .

State intervention is in play , massively .

The problem is Keith's instincts and the despicable Mandelson are in 1997 because that's all they know .

It might be half an idea to actually know what kind of feeling writing in The Scum does for an area with 15 northern parliamentary constituencies .

At a time when it maybe reasonable to suggest building bridges with northern voters wouldn't be the worst idea .

It may also be reasonable to suggest people in Merseyside are probably the shop stewards of the UK and it ain't a great idea to pyss them off .

It ain't a great idea to write for The Scum given the emotion surrounding the Hillsborough disaster within Merseyside .

Any clued up Labour leader wouldn't go near that publication with the proverbial barge pole especially one looking to rebuild trust and relationship with the electorate .

Only someone from a cosmopolitan background and completely out of touch would do so .

Don't take the Merseyside vote for granted , trust me don't .

They are likely to elect 15 chimpanzees on a matter of principle as a consequence .

The five gains in white van man Essex equates to another ten losses for the Labour Party .

If the Labour Party needs The Scum to get elected then perhaps it should look at itself .

I suppose the problem with the sun being a loyal murdoch rag the tories don't have to 'write' for it as it faithfully prints everything at all the emanates from entertainment HQ in number 10 and provides distractions when there is bad news.

Perfectly simple SS.

You don't win political power if you don't communicate with people. Whatever I think about the Sun (and for the record I think it is beneath being worth wiping your arse on) the fact is that many other people don't think that, and get much of their political news filtered through it. So any politician who ignores it is cutting his nose off to spite his face.

As for the people of Liverpool, I'd hope they'd be able to see the big picture that I've explained above. There is no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't hate the Sun and boycott buying it, while accepting that you have to use it if you want to get into power (and ideally, hold the bas**rds that own and edit it to account once you are in power).

It might be half an idea to actually know what kind of feeling writing in The Scum does for an area with 15 northern parliamentary constituencies .

At a time when it maybe reasonable to suggest building bridges with northern voters wouldn't be the worst idea .

It may also be reasonable to suggest people in Merseyside are probably the shop stewards of the UK and it ain't a great idea to pyss them off .

I suppose one of the things one has to sort is reality from hype Tyke.

Atm everything johnson & the johnson's have said is exactly that 'said' and nothing more this levelling up, remind me howw long it's been a 'thing' and how much has been done, everything so far has just been chat or 180 degrees opposite, look at the tax increases for starters, they are real and yet sunak is already talking about how he's going to reduce taxes.

'Tanks on the lawn' it sounds like you believe more than most.

The reality is labour just got hammered at the last election.

I really don't know what to say Sydney but I'm a trier none the less .

I get the impression which to be fair is pretty conclusive given the only links you present are from The Guardian .

If you want to find out what the Tories are up to it's best to cast your net further than the tribalist  publications you rely on .

They've discovered the big state rhetoric Sydney and I do say rhetoric by the way .

This after the small state and market forces they've lived and died by since 1979 .

Of course it's b@llax .

None the less it's shifted the conversation and because they have favourable media and pretty good at lying it works .

They have significant votes in working class areas which they never had before .

If Labour do not engage them and prove they are better at this game which they historically should be and make the case for the power of the state over market forces by proving the policy rather than rhetoric then you know the rest .

Unfortunately and I do say unfortunately the current holders of the Labour Party can't see the game that's getting played here .

Instinctively they are going down the state to aid business route which was Blair's play plus the faith in free markets .

Keith with his background is more credible to make the case for the power of the state , the electorate are far more susceptible to see the state can be relied on more than the markets .

The majority have had furlough to save our asses for starters these last 18 months .

By definition Labour saved the country from bankruptcy in 2008 .

So that leads the electorate to conclude the state saves them from neoliberalism and a global pandemic .

This isn't some hard left ideology this is the rules of engagement today .

All the Labour Party have to do which given it's history is prove the point they are better at using the state to aid the country .

Given the natural Tory ideology that wouldn't in my opinion be that fecking hard to do .

Especially a Tory government who are merely blowing smoke up the electorates back side .

For God's sake man wake up .

We've had a global pandemic and the Tories are mismanaging leaving the EU .

Even 2019 is no longer relevant .

Look I ain't here to make the case for Corbyn the man I'm making the case for massive state intervention .

If you believe you can solve 2021 problems given what's occurred since 2008 with 1997 solutions then unfortunately you are massively wrong in my opinion .

You keep trotting out tory lines and talking points as though they are real.

Look at the economy before the pandemic, look at what labour did after the gfc.

And yet you still would rather see the tories in power than labour, I think you need to get up out of the armchair and help out rather than supporting the party that got us here.

I'm really lost for words Billy , but hey ho you carry on missing the game that's getting played here by the Tory government .

It's not a great look they are humiliating you , the Labour Party and the many not the few .

There's none so blind that can't see .

I can't hang my hat on such a pathetic excuse of a party .

Proper embarrassing to do so .

Getting fecked over at what should be their own game is something I can't do .

Good Luck with it anyway .

All you really have to do tyke is set out a path for a labour victory.

Define the strategy, how many votes and seats required.

And of course name your champion, within the boundaries you have set yourself.

Please try to stick with it, regard it as homework if you like but please, no insults or smoke.

Well you'll own the next election result with no lefty in sight .

Own it lock , stock and  barrel .

You'll blame the electorate for not voting your way of course which is what you do with me and relinquish all responsibility for it .

It's always somebody else isn't it .

The truth is the people who once voted for you absolutely hate you .

That's how good you are , what was the vote in the bag hate you .

They'd sooner Bunter blow smoke up their ass than vote for you lot .

Just absorb that fact , an Etonian Tory who blows smoke up their ass is more preferable to Keith .

Yep he walloped Corbyn too but which shadow brexit minister was responsible for that ? .

There's nothing more to say really .

The best thing that could be said about the tory mess following 11 years of economic blind mans bluff is written in the old joke but now a bit of a truism.

If I was going to go there, I wouldn't be starting from here.
