I’m a yank, so I recognize that I live in a massive glass house, but everything I read about Keir makes him seem like an exceedingly lame milquetoast centrist. Certainly preferable to the tories but still pretty wack

He is the culmination of 30 yrs of labour chasing tory votes. Lurching ever right while trying to pretend to their base they haven't changed its the base who's at fault.

A man so bland his opinion is entirely dependent on who is in earshot. With a fence post permanently embedded up his arse.

It was fun listening to people beg me yo vote labour because he's political Jesus only for it to turn out his solution to fix the economy that tory policy broke is to do more of that.

I can already see England getting bored of I'im and eyeing up the next tory fuckbag or worse whatever shite farage pukes into our collective cornflakes

I really have it with those old white men. Why can’t you just shut up if you are incapable of adjusting your world view to the 21st century?
