The new Labour leader is starting in unenviable circumstances, but anyone with progressive sympathies should swing fully behind him, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

With the party on its knees, an implausible leftwing Labour leader with pacifist inclinations is replaced by a strait-laced lawyer from the soft left. A few short years later, Britain is plunged into deadly turmoil, one that exposes hitherto ignored injustices, while an ideologically shapeshifting Tory prime minister with surging popularity expands the state’s role in the economy to an unprecedented degree.

Dream on

I hope he is in fact successful. Charting a path away from the cult of Corbynism will be difficult

Has he renounced his knighthood? How does the medieval title square with being a socialist?

Not the type you would want leading a political party. He doesn't seem to back citizens when it comes to clashes with the police.

No thanks.

Not without the women who left the party. To bad.

Where are the Guardian columnist feminists who were demanding Jess Phillips take over Labour? Strangely quiet + strangely notable by lack of support of Long-Bailey's campaign. 🤔 Almost like feminists only ever appear when a left wing man has a shot at winning power

Congratulations Labour leader Keir Starmer. Dare I hope that things can only get better?

In 2015 I voted for jeremycorbyn because he was the only one talking about fighting Tories cuts to the state. The others trapped by Osbourne mind games . Corbyn did well initially but went too far. He started turning UKLabour in TUSC, narrowing the church, promoting friends

Owen Jones being Owen Jones

Progressive tendencies translates to supporting nationalists and forgetting the disaster of globalist profiteering.

Lets hope he enjoys the support of MP’s unlike his predecessor who was shamefully tripped up by his own party over and over again

I don't think so. Starmer was the architect behind Labour's policy to renege on their commitment to accept the result of the EU referendum. He can't be trusted.

ok Keir_Starmer leads his political party the big question now following jeremycorbyn unqualified disaster is just who does the LabourParty represent /

He is already succeeding by not being Jeremy Corbyn, the worst and least successful leader in labour history. Everyone needs to realise that bringing the whole party together is more important than some mystical ideological purity.

Girl in every port Jones speaks

If Starmer must earn support, nobody is entitled to it.

Lol

Gie us peace Owen. The game is up sadly

Owen the toady.... he’s changed his tune......

Agreed. We have to unite now and support him.

Yeh, rely on Owen to give out tees stating who needs to suck cock for labour (spoiler: women) and see how that goes. Again 😒

😂😂😂😂😂 Sycophant Jones gets his bid in early

Why not everybody just shut up and let him get on with it?

Starmer really needs all those who reek of abject failure to slink away and stop commentating so that Labour can become a credible and viable opposition party with the potential to challenge the Tories. To summarise: stfu Owen.

Good for you OwenJones84 pity PeoplesMomentum haven’t followed you 🤦‍♂️ the only way UKLabour has a chance of winning the next GE is we unite behind Keir_Starmer 🗳

Owen Jones supporting a multi-millionaire peer of the realm? Oh mind you, he gets paid 80k a year to sit behind a desk and call voluntary work slavery and ignore every single black person who told him he was wrong...........

At what?

his come over all socialist no tie all of a sudden

You say that about every leftie, Jones.
