Leader urged to appoint ‘big figure’ to boost team amid concern over caution and lack of ambition

while conceding he did not own one, have fed into frustrations that have been building over recent months. The emergence of wider unease follows Peter Mandelson’s call for Starmer to begin a review of the party’s policies, in order to adopt measures that are “radical, credible, affordable”.

Keir_Starmer became Labour leader, Labour lost my vote. I am not going to waste it on Torry trash.

The john major of the labour party 🤫

KS doesn't need enemies

What actually does Sir Keir stand for ? Anyone can sit on a fence but if you want to lead the country you have to be bold

Complaining that infighting has made his job harder is shameless considering how much of an antagonist he was, causing a mess and and then whining you inherited a mess, umm..... 🤦🏻‍♂️

This headline suggests his car tyres need replacing.

'They have spent too much time over the last year trying to appease the hard left' That is delusional.

Lack of leadership is at the heart of UKLabour problems, including financial, legal and electoral!

Appeasing the left?! Appeasing the hard right of the party, would be more truthful. Evidence shows he's at war with the left...suspending CLP's, suspending members, dropping Anna Rothery as a Liverpool mayoral candidate, a shortlist of one for Hartlepool...the list goes on...

Publishing an article saying that Starmer has spent the last year 'trying to appease the hard left' is genuinely delusion. Nothing says 'appeasement' by removing the whip from his predecessor. 😂

When you go for the supposedly safe pair of hands theirs no risks are taken it’s down the middle of the road stuff and he needs people who have no interest whatsoever in politics to go vote will he do that is the biggest question and at the moment it’s no

What’s he not gripping?

Labour just cannot find another Blair to lead them, that is their problem.

'Appease the hard left' Ha. Ha. I'm encouraged that the grown ups still don't have a clue. They can left to rick this one without being interrupted.

He needs campbellclaret or someone similar to work their magic.

Knife half your membership in the face and stay silent and passive on all issues of the day and people don't end up liking you much

Appease the hard left? I must have missed that one. The truth is that the right of the party will never be appeased, what remains of the left shouldn’t attempt to do so. The right have had a decade to set out their vision and still we wait.

Is that a tacit admission that the London office has been 'ruthlessly' interfering in ScottishLabour? That's a great strategy to win back disallussioned Scottish voters.

Appease the left ? When did that happen ?

Is he more trusted worthy that Johnson? The answer is yes. Does he tell lies? The answer is no.

VOTE STEPHEN YIP

Maybe they should be more concerned over the fact that he's basically a tory in disguise.

Re brand LABOUR FARCY under keir charmer 🤗

Brexit destroyed Labour as a party of the centre, in that it exploded the centre. It will survive as a party of the left, largely led by women, or it will never get back into power.

A major factor is the rights controlling dominance of the press. Crack that...and he may stand a chance.

‘Lack of grip’ lol ... cute

Agreed 100%

Just get a celebrity to lead the party..its all people understand now . Look at boris. Trump Putin NoelGallagher or liamgallagher for leader be a good election fight.

It’s hard to grip on your knees

BIGGEST mistake to elect Starmer as leader.

its the knobs he has on the team

There is a very simple solution - Starmer should resign

He’s after the Tory vote, stupidly. Ignoring the other 66% of the voting public.

Insipid.

I think the main problem is his lack of a backbone

Roll on independence for my country Scotland is all i can say !!

Is it April 1st? Labour? Big Hitter? Look what he had to choose...AnnelieseDodds , LisaNandy , RachelReevesMP Ed_Miliband AngelaRayner and yes, you couldn't make it up, DavidLammy They'd all struggle to get employment as shelf stackers.

He is weak and should give way.

Grip... spine.... morality... leadership skills...

He has no idea on how to win, reason he’s out of touch with the working class.

When your only tactic is ‘don’t be Corbyn’ it must be hard for a non-entity to make an actual impression. He is defining himself by being the opposite of someone who had principles and ideas.

Maybe the Corbyn cult could possibly consider stopping undermining him. It will never happen though because it is actually a cult.

“People do underestimate the mountain of shit Keir inherited,” said one senior MP. No one underestimates how abysmal the Labour party have been. Scandalous.

Labour should have been pulling strips off of the Tories this past year. corruption; lies; incompetence; hypocrisy; FinancialMismanagement; the list goes on and on and still Keir Starmer does not oppose nor does he politically capitalise on any of it.

“caution and a lack of ambition are holding back his performance”. Ouch. Looking forward to this new public conversation that assesses job performance. Wonder if it will carry over to the private sector?

Lack of grip isn't the problem. The problem is a determination to out-Tory the Tories. He (& those around him) offer nothing, no alternative. Losing votes on the left (many won't bother to vote) whilst failing to win over Tories = worst of both worlds.

I'm sure it'll still be Corbyn's fault somehow.

IMHO Keir_Starmer needs someone with a high level understanding of people and politics. How to bring in talent to suit a new labour strategy. He needs a sound pair of hands to help effect strategic changes.

Would be more concerned with his total compliance with Conservative policies over the past 12 months and his lack of Labour values

Are they putting him on notice that he has got to get a grip

Just now?

yes the LOTO needs to appoint someone to overshadow him, this is incredibly smart politics that sees the root of the problem
