Labour party conference, is no-one else interested?

I've read his speech Casdon it doesn't give any pledges, but then why would it? This is a man who has manged to dump all the promises he made in his bid to be leader.
I just wondered if those supporting him could post what they thought he would do-obviously they can't.
But then he probably doesn't know either at least not until he has asked a focus group.

Kali2 and MayBee70, that’s why I was surprised that it has suddenly appeared. It’s like mentioning what happened under Maggie T- and she’s dead!

Not really the same if what is mentioned "under Maggie T" is accurate.

I don't think anyone would condone the repeating of inaccuracies used to tar the character of one leader just because he isn't as lacking in character as another leader. Isn't this sort of thing why we have libel and slander laws.

If a poster has any sort of accurate, decent post it really shouldn't be necessary. Perhaps those are lacking too.

I’m sorry, I just don’t understand what you’re asking for - is there one specific issue, or shall we copy you the details of his speech, or what? Obviously the finer details of individual plans follow after conference agreement to the line, and quite rightly they won’t be rushed. I thought you would already know how it works. Or a you looking for a one pager?

I want them explained by his supporters on here Casdon But apparently no one can..

it rhymes!

Centre left is now Tory-lite. So what now is the hard left ?

I have no idea what you mean trisher, he laid out the plans at the conference. Do you want it on a stone tablet signed in blood?

Starmer is NOT Tory-lite- even if you keep repeating it.

I have not claimed anything- I said Rees-Mogg said it- but I think (and I hate to say it) he was right.

So will someone please explain to me what policies Starmer now stands for? Or how he will appeal to the red wall? Because much as you may castigate them the voters obviously went for Johnson. Now you may claim that was because Corbyn was so disliked but what qualities or policies does Starmer bring to them. Why should they change from Tory to Tory -lite? What happened at the end of the Blair era was people stopped voting. They couldn't see an alternative.
Not many people watch PMQT and quite a few people like a bit of charisma. .

Rees-Mogg has been boasting that Corbyn was their best ally and allowed Brexit and the Tories huge majority to become reality.

And yes, the labout left would rather scupper the party and any chance of getting rid of Tories like RM- than oppose, ally and win.

Let's go back to Churchill - he was 100% pro Europe.

So, Starmer is boring, whereas trump and Johnson are funny ?
Then, some repeat the lies about Starmer at the CPS. Pathetic

Gotta love how his fans describe Starmer as ‘forensic’.
Most people I know say theyzone out when he talks because my goodness he is boring isn’t he?
?

No. I can imagine the level of thinking that might think so but no, he is not boring.

And just what would the level of thinking be, Pippa?

Someone with a lower intellect than your good self?

Honestly there's some pompous people in here. And you're all sat here all day and all evening!

Zoejory, what makes you think that Urmstongran's nasty little personal remarks aimed at those whose politics she disagrees with, should get a free pass just because she makes out she is being "funny". Disagreeing with the politicians and the politics should not include personal attacks.

I didn't mention "intellect" that was your word. I said "thinking", as in the belittling, mean and nasty attacks on others other posters that have been popping up everywhere today. I wonder why?

Strange how little mention there’s been about TB’s property purchases.
DH says that’s because it was carefully managed, to be legal, and at least he was keeping the money for himself, not handing it out to his mates.

Well, the whole point of brexit was that people could continue to do such things. And there is a thread about it I believe.Why don’t you bring up the Iraq war while you’re about it. I mean it’s SO relevant to what’s happening now isn’t it. How far would you like to go back?

Well also because it was a long time ago, and that Blair is no longer in the political picture now.

And that it was a) legal (if immoral) and b) tiddly winks compared to what Tories have been up to recently and forever.

I can understand his bitterness at what happened to him, and the need to identify a specific person to target, but Keir Starmer was not DPP when Paul Gambaccini's case was considered. All decisions made by the CPS are made in accordance with strict legal tests, which can be challenged in court. Anybody in the DPP role is of course a sitting duck for anybody with a grievance against the justice system.

So he ‘won’t be here long’. Who is going to oust him then? And how?

Keir is boring. It's common knowledge. Labour councillors despair. But he won't be here long.

He's not that great a person either. Ask Paul Gambaccini and others about the witch hunt Keir had going on. Paul actually got damages but the damage done to him and other innocents was quite shocking at the time. Yewtree certainly did a lot of good but over 50% of the famous people accused had their cases dropped. Disastrous for their reputations though. Keir managed to bail out just in time.

Obviously Paul hasn't run against Keir. I'm hoping he's managed to find peace. Poor bloke.

???
True!

Didn’t you like Trump? No wonder you don’t find Keir very appealing!

I think what really matters is honesty, people don’t like being lied to, even if the fact is unpalatable. I don’t want somebody in charge who might be good for a laugh down the pub, I want somebody serious, principled and committed, who is capable of understanding the big picture- I don’t care at all if they have no charisma.
