Keir Starmer distances himself from Corbyn as he plots bid for Labour leadership

Sir Keir is the only man who is widely-tipped to run for the top job. Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey is being viewed as the continuity candidate to resume Mr Corbyn’s style of left-wing politics.On Tuesday, Jenny Chapman, Sir Keir’s deputy in the Brexit brief until she lost her Darlington seat,“What people are saying is that they want a leader that they feel could be the prime minister,” she said, recounting her experiences on the doorstep.

There is something about this guy. Remember he used to talk so slow you almost fell asleep listening to him. So he tries to sound normal. Then he decides to go against the public on Brexit. Then he decides it is all Corbyns fault and now he wants you to believe him. Dangerous man

Another rat jumping ship from the Corbynites afer UKLabour election humiliation. It’s as if he thinks we will forget he was a Shadow Cabinet member and a key player in trying to elect the anti Semite.

Keir_Starmer hates UKLabour membership

He’s part of the problem

He distanced himself when the campaign started. In fact, most of them did, they hung Corbyn out to dry.

Oh, now he stands up to be counted. Yeah, right. 🤔

Same as the others u are tainted by Corbyn u need to spell out what u r going to do I want my party back please

Corbyn said 'good he's staying away, he stinks!'

He doesnt cut with anti Corbon even within labour memberships but top pick from rest of alternative so it says alot time for 2nd comming let's get Ed_Miliband back in there.

He also distanced himself from Blair as well.. he said hes his own man basically. Why the sensationalist headline?

New Labou... ahem, sorry...

He has to but he was loyal during the campaign.

He is the man. Pragmatic. Smart. Good operator. And the tories fear him!
