Just read that Starmer is the new head of the Labour Party. What I noticed is that Starmer has called for a "compassionate migration system." Will he be another Tony Blair?

He's a London-based lawyer and a staunch remainer. He will never win.

Jess Phillips was my pick.

But who is crazy to want to immigrate to the UK as of today's date and even in the future with most western economies destroyed? This seems like another scapegoating to me, sorta like Farage recalling about his forgotten 29 million romanians prediction...

The next election isn't for nearly five years and Starmer was the idiot behind Lsbour's Brexit policy disaster.

I really can't see Starmer doing anything, and mass migration is not a popular policy with the ordinary voter.

The only good thing aboit Starmer is that he will help rid the party of the hard left and momentum, indeed the process has already with the election of non-momentum candidates to Labour's Governing NEC.

The hard left including Corbyn and McDonnell wanted their candidate Long-Bailey to win but thankfully she was absoloutely trounced by Starmer and the other candidate Lisa Nandy did even worse.

It's a good day only in that we are now rid of those clowns Corbyn and McDonnell and some of the other idiots in the shadow cabinet such as Diane Abbot, whose political carrers have well and trult finished.

As for Abbott isn't her disgusting son due in Court next month for assaulting police and NHS staff and exposing himself to NHS staff.

I don't know much about Starmer but some of the things I've read seems that he's carrying on where Corbyn left off. Labour supporters rejected Labour because of the path is was leading, has it changed course?

Imo, he should be championing on how to get Britain trading with the world and not dragging us back into the EU. Did he have his eyes closed at the last election?

This country Gt Britain is already heavily damn populated. When much younger we had 48 million now 66 million and told by experts will go up beyond 70 million. For goodness sake this is not a giant island. As for Sir Keir Starmer he has as much chance of being a Prime Minister as I dashed well have. He is like an amateur.

Actually it looks like the Labour Party has just recovered some of its good sense.
However, neanderthals like Unite boss Len McCluskey still have a vice-like grip on the party and apart from being an oily lawyer who tried his utmost to block Brexit I'm not sure Starmer is the key to Labour taking back the Red Wall of Northern seats.
He is Sir Phoney Blair, leader of a Labour Party best described by George Galloway as " a party of the university-educated urban liberal middle-class which thinks Swarfega is a Balearic island, and is entranced with personal sexual racial identity politics. It no longer speaks the same language as its working class base on and behind the Red Wall. It can scarcely now even pretend to understand them. Everyone who opposes liberalism must be an “ist” or a “phobe.”
The next election is still Boris's to lose.

Nah the PM would win again as Labour has lost the plot with it's old traditional people and taken over as you touch on by the unit-minded young. For Labour's new leader to get anywhere with the army of higher educated extreme leftists in Labour as well as the broader aspect he has little chance.

Labour's entire new front bench team voted to Remain with not a single Brexiteer appointed.
But there is room for the return of the hapless Ed Milliband , the Labour leader before Corbyn who also led the party to catastrophic failure in an election.
Labour is the gift that keeps on giving.

I was under the impression that it was David Milliband's turn to lead labour?
