I knew he'd campaigned for improved payments for residents whose houses were affected but I'd not seen that he'd campaigned against the whole concept. f**king hell, talk about blinkered!I don't know which one is worse hound .The Etonian entitled serial bullshyter who everyone knew was a serial entitled bullshyter Or The one who looks and talks as though he's been through Eton plus a knighthood and serial bullshyte's .If the bar gets any lower even these two snakes won't be able to crawl under it .You really can't tell which one is worse?Honestly?

BFYPI don't think Starmer has done well as a leader but I think you are over egging the HS2 line (no pun intended).In 2015 his only role was as MP for a constituency which had areas badly blighted by the plans.That work has happened. That fight was lost. As our Brexit supporting chums keep lecturing us, you have to move on and not fight old battles. Make the best of where we are now.Secondly, he is now national LotO. He would be failing in that role if he didn't judge policies on their overall national effect, rather than focus on specific effects on a small group.Context is everything. Think of the management of a large organisation. The head of a small section of the operation may fight like hell for more resources for her section. She may then become MD and choose not to give more resources to her old section because it's not in the company's overall interests. That's not hypocrisy. It's all about context.

It's all about context.Well the only context that I see is that Starmer is your fairly typical Labour centrist and metropolitan politician given his opposition to HS2 .His brand of politics have had more than a hand in the North becoming what it is today given the 13 years Labour were in government .Anyone who sends a remainer candidate to fight a by-election in a massive leave constituency as Hartlepool clearly doesn't get the North .Starmer campaigning in towns like Rochdale , Bury or Grimsby and you just know he isn't going to connect .It's these towns that will decide the next election and not necessarily the big city's .The tide has turned against Labour and now it's the centrist metropolitan Labour voter who haven't anywhere else to go although admittedly the Lib Dems are a possibility for what good that would achieve mind .
Tyke.I swear you'd have voted against Labour in 1945.Attlee was an upper middle class son of a very wealthy solicitor. London born and bred. Public school and Oxford educated. University Don before becoming a London MP.No way would you have voted for his party!

So yes clearly they would!
