Ever since his catastrophic wishy-washy stance and behavior before Brexit, I've had the sense Jeremy Corbyn should not lead any political party. When he started Your Party, I imagined Starmer sighing a huge sigh of relief, as he could count on the fact the whole thing was going to collapse.

    Keir on the other hand was crystal clear. What do you reckon to him?

    When someone says someone was a weak leader because of indecisive, logically, the correct argument is an example of a strong but shit leader.

    Whataboutism is when you bring up something unrelated that someone else does. I suggest you understand terms before you try to use them.

    Keir on the other hand has 100% success rate. You like it?

    I'm glad someone appreciates Keir's leadership. Someone was bound to, but its quite rare to find folk crushing on cold authoritarian bullshit.

    Kier isn't the worst leader we've had. Not by a long shot. He's meh but I wouldn't necessarily say bad. He'll probably be forgotten.

    This whole online safety act thing, arresting protesters, etc, is all him just utilising powers granted to him by the Tories.

    Don't like his digital ID though

    He could revoke the powers or not use them. He pushed through OSA. He could have canned him. You sure make excuses for him.

    His government proscribed PA to arrest folk. It's actually him.

    I think he'll go down as one of the worst. I cannot think of worse.
