Whilst I’m not a Labour Fan Boy, they have consistently lead in every national poll since November,
They mean nothing outside of an election year, or even outside of the final days of an election, always have been unfortunately.
I admire Angela Raynor. She does a pretty good job of keeping up with the public-school-boy-deliberately-exclusionary Westminster system.
I’d say she falls into the trap of what you say, making it personal and getting her to show her true feelings, it’s what destroyed Corbyn, he couldn’t help but use it to try and sell his beliefs.
I think Starmer knows the game, and can handle himself with the chess style responses required, but i don’t get any comfort listening to Rayner almost boxing herself in to her principles, it’s a party, it is the millions of voters you represent, it just keeps reminding me of trade union folk i’ve seen over the years.
