o/t Does anyone seriously believe Corbyn is an anti-semite?

How about Diane Abbott? I'm almost tempted to pay my three quid so as to be able to vote for her. Why should all the Tories who joined to vote for he-who-must-not-be-named have all the fun.

Keir Starmer is a sound bloke and one of the most intensely intelligent people that I have met, but I can't see him appealing to the class warrior wing of the party.

Keep up Kerr. The 3quid subs ended after 1 year. All members have been paying full whack for years.

Personally no probs with Starmer if he fronts the last manifesto. Neither would labour members I know (it might shock you to know that we're not all class warriors, the trots are a huge minority, and a pain in the ass) But would you be tempted to vote for Starmer of he was elected and ran with the same manifesto? Or if you think he'd change the manifesto, what do you think he'd change from what you know of him?

But can you see him and where he'd take the party appealing to the disaffected Northern voters that Monty identified?

I'd vote for him if he ever went up against Corbyn and within my circle many others would too .

That's not to say Corbyn is a bad leader , he isn't 10 out of 10 by any means but he's returned the party to it's proper roots and shown the way .

Someone like Starmer now needs to push that on and I feel he appeals far more to the middle ground than Corbyn does .

Corbyn may historically prove to be the Kinnock that led to Blair obviously coming from a different angle .

When Starmer gets up in the house on the subject of Brexit he eats the tories alive without even breaking sweat .

Immensely talented and intelligent man and we'd win the next election with Starmer as leader with a huge majority .
