Clarkson? Really? Not sure he’s a particularly attractive or influential cheerleader, Sir Keir. Probably quite the opposite.

I HOPE it shows Clarkson has changed!

Jeremy Clarkson 'does not see a problem' with the racist language he has used in the making of the hit show Top Gear.

Should anybody have been harbouring doubts as to whether Starmer was nary but a Tory Lite in the mould of Blair, and that he won't therefore meaningfully change anything for regular people, then this endorsement should you all that you need to know about him and his priorities

And you think that change is for the better Keir_Starmer ... an endorsement from someone like Clarkson!

Anything that Jeremy Clarkson endorses can’t be a good thing.

Genius move becoming the tories 2: electric boogaloo. Just gave David Cameron as the next Labour leader

man I liked top gear too but clarkson is a bigot he's not terribly subtle about it

Is this Starmers target voter?

Sorry Keir, you have a lot of rot to clear out before you win anything but you have four years to do it. 1) Get rid of anyone linked to Momentum 2) Sack all remaning Marxist sympathisers 3) Vow to follow the will of the people 4) Stand up against divisive identify politics

Labour supporters/members like to pick & choose who votes for ‘their’ party. Not really how it works or how you win elections.

Just swapping an old and busted Jeremy for a new hotness Jeremy. Them crazy socialists...

Ah yes, Jeremy Clarkson...a model of intelligence 🙄

A Clarkson endorsement is not a positive.

Fuck me Labour certainly has changed if they have had an endorsement by clarskson...they are now tory lite again..

Another champagne socialist who does not know how to work 40 odd hours on 8 per hour

Rubbish. New Labour was the same as old Labour but with some distracting tinsel. It's no different now.

Yeah. It's dipped in shit now, thanks.

So, has no real policies and wants to play to the crowd, rather than being driven by principles...so a slightly slimmer, slightly less posh version of the other guy then? Good luck with that...

🤣🤣🤣

Starmer has no interest in winning any elections. That's not his role.

WTAF?

Then he agrees to an ‘unconscious bias’ re-education camp. Labour are finished.

Oh God please don’t boast about the criteria ...!

Of course it has, Sir Keir is centre right on the political spectrum. In fact there is no difference between him and Cameron. Luckily Bojo the clown slid further right to allow Sir Keir the centre right spot. Labour is now a red Tory party again. Who will we bomb next?

seicilop Christ but this is depressing from Keir_Starmer labourlosingwomen labourlosingBAME labourlosingtheleft At least you’ve gained Clarkson, Soubry, Farage et al. This is not good news Starmer.

Kneeling is solidarity with “defunding the police” and “dismantling capitalism” one week.. Firing Long-Bailey and becoming Jeremy Clarkson fans the next.. Labour are going through a weird phase at the moment. 😅

The Blairite cancer coming out of remission is endorsed by Jeremy Clarkson. 🥳

Yes. It does.

I welcome JeremyClarkson saying he’d vote UKLabour but I am not convinced he’ll back the kind of socialist government our country needs and the one I’m working for

How ?

'look guys this spoilt old man who hates half our membership loves me!!'

Ahh Christ it’s 2015 all over again.

Forgot who Jeremy Clarkson is for a moment.Not everyone drive fast cars.

Starmer must be desperate if he thinks an endorsement by Clarkson is a good thing!

Too right it's changed. And I mean that literally. Hemorrhaging members.

I'd also say it was an indication, but not one that anybody that has a true labour perspective should trumpet as any kind of achievement!!!!

Clarkson is a complete twat! That’s almost as bad as being endorsed by Trump....!

Yeah for the fucking worse!

I think what it shows is people are starting to realise how truly incompetent this Tory government is. There’s a long way to go before another GE though.

At this point we just have two Tory parties and a bunch of smaller parties that don't stand a chance.

Could be the case. Or that he and many others would now rather support a rabid skunk dressed as the child catcher than current regime. The Labour party looks quite appealing compared to The Boris Flying Circus. KeirStarmer

It has changed into the Liberal Democrats.

I wish this guy wasn't the Labour leader

Swapping arround a few personalities are the form of things. I am more interested in the function.

Into the Tory lite party... Glad I'm out.

And he doesn't even have a clue about the sad thundering irony in what he says.

Er, that's not really good news, Keir_Starmer

Really? Starmer want people like clarkson? F-k me. How far from Labour can you get? The UK is really, really screwed. Am stepping up my exit.

Jeremy Clarkson is one of very few people who’s reputation has been enhanced by the Brexit debate.

Yeaaa, of all the people you wish would endorse you i didnt expect that

I'm Tory Plan C... 😳😔

Should the cis, white, over-50 male vote really be a priority though Kier? Especially in a week when you-intentionally or otherwise-belittled the Black Lives Matter movement?

I'm not sure this is the good news he thinks it is

Either clarkson moved left or labour are now tories, which one is it?

Ah, so it's a good thing when old white priviliged and entitled racists jump over from the Tory party to Labour ... ? I'm not sure Labour should be running with that notion.

Who the fuck calls him an anchor point of anything else but the 1960s. Britain is so fucked. Self-inflicted too.

Is that good?

😂😂😂😂 didn't know Keir_Starmer was a comedian..

FFS.
