Needs to walk before he can run...

There’s no hope for labour is there 😂😂😂😂

You mean Shadow non-leave Brexit Secretary. One clown in bid to replace another !

Millionaire snob to lead the Labour Party 😂 l

You support Corbyn who hates his country and he supports terrorists why, shame on you and if you become leader labour is dead for at least ten years

Probably the most irrelevant position in politics.Leader of the Opposition in the next Parliament,that’s a prize worth winning.

Will that mean we will have to look at that permanently fake concerned look he always has, for 5 years?

Maybe by then he can actually answer a question fully and not just say nhs to evade it

Well it’s going to be a long time until Labour get another chance at running the show. No rush for a new leader.

Oh the irony of UKLabour being led by a white knighted male!

Oh Lord no sir.

How can we trust Starmer? He betrayed us - he told us repeatedly we would be leaving the EU - then he changed his mind and moved to a 2nd referendum REMAIN supporting position - THE MAN IS A DISGRACE.

😂

Yes!

🙄

But wasnt he partly responsible for the last two Labour manifestos so roundly rejected by the British electorate? How will he explain that?

Replace him with what? Wet rag? To be fair might get more done...

A multimillionaire, lives in the london bubble,and a sir,yes right up labour's street!!!!

A millionaire with a peerage who is an ardent remainer will win back the working class Brexit vote I'm sure.

Labour are in Opposition for at least 1 more election. All of them talk bollocks about 'standing up to Trump', the leader of the free world... but couldn't even stand up to an anti-semite as the leader of their own party. Absolute jokes, they're all tainted.

I honestly didn’t think it was comic relief day again, time flies so quickly😂😂😂😂

He sounds like a giant bee, with a head-cold - talking to us through the body of a human.

lol....the farce just gets better.

Labour leadership race: is 'comfort blanket' Keir Starmer too safe?Brexit stance will also prove controversial as candidates begin jockeying for position The truth is labour might be out of power for a decade, there could be a lot of x labour leaders by then. I don’t see how blandness or mildness is a concept you’re invoking as a negative when we just had 4 years of superficial charisma which was the only pro-electability thing Corbyn brought to Labour. How’d that go for the party? 😂😂 Keith Vaz for leader

John Rentoul: Why Keir Starmer is likely to win the Labour leadership electionIn government and in opposition, it will be the dull who prevail. Labour members probably think the time has come to return to the old-fashioned virtues of experience, competence and being good at the job Maybe Keir but make Lisa Nandy your deputy ok .... Butler has not impressed me enough Let me get this straight. The red wall collapsed because labour refused to honour the referendum and Corbynism was rejected. So Starmer who was the brexit policy architect and supported Corbyn and his policies is the answer? He's likely to win because he's the best candidate for the job...but instead of speculating it would actually be nice to see who stands, see what they have to say for themselves & actually be allowed to make up my own mind.
