Good start to Starmer’s speech.

[the other bob wilson]

A protester, presumably from Just stop oil, got on the stage and poured what, for want of a better word, was sludge over him.

I have switched off , I can't watch or listen to starmer , he's like a boring old school teacher who should be retired

[ninian opinian]

You should have watched. He was very good, even the Tory media commentators said so lol. And you missed his wife on stage at the end. A good looking woman.

[Swiss Peter]

Yeah, I thought he showed a bit of character and spirit. He even mentioned Bridgend especially to try and win Sludge over.

[JamesWales]

I don't think the protester did him any harm. Had it been some Palestine type thing it may have or if there has been many of them, but he shook it off quite well. The guy was from some spin-off of Just Stop Oil. It does point to there being some problems from the left of the party in the next year but it was ever thus.

I listened to nearly all the speech. I don't find him enormously inspirational, but that's fine. I don't think the country is seeking that really. Was pleased to see him take the SNP to task too, and it shows that will be a clear battle ground.

He'll be happy with that and I think he did quite well.

[JamesWales]

I must have missed the bit about Bridgend. What did he say?

[Rjk]

I must have missed the bit about Bridgend. What did he say?

he said Bridgend is bluebird territory, those jacks can **** right off

That's me sold!

Tell Starmer to give us our Sludge back; we need him to fight the good fight here.

[The Bloop]

I must have missed the bit about Bridgend. What did he say?

He said he'd bulldoze the whole place and build a new town in its place.

[life on mars]

I liked his recent quote:

Keir Starmer tells ITV News that…

“I’m very happy to work with The Sun, to write for The Sun, to do interviews for The Sun…”

Bloody Tory

The first part of his speech was the most interesting bit, where he was 'Glittered'. The rest of it was just as dull as my dish water. I know someone who did his bar exams with Starma, didnt speak too well of him - dull, no personality and would bore a witness into a submission.

I had it on in the back ground today - and it was the same of socialist rhetoric but just delivered in a monosyllabic tone. I thought he was going to bring the "Ed Stone" from the Milliband campaign...
Rachel (forget her surname) - the shadow chancellor was slightly better, Raynor was listenable if only for the humour. Good to see she has put her ginger growler away.

So far - none of the 'leadership' speeches have been up to much. Would have rather had a maths lesson with Dianne Abbott than go through that lost lunchtime hour again.

The labour conference is doing what it needs to do

Slow , safe and boring

Your tory party conference was shocking summed up by that dreadful speech from Mourdant

That's all over youtube

Down in the polls after the conference as well

Not a good time to be a tory

I presume this is another made up "friend."

You were found out on another thread lying in this manner.

Off you trot soft lad.

[Robin Friday's Ghost]

I think all Starmer and Labour need to do to win the next election is not **** anything up too dramatically. Starmer is perfect for that role as he's very beige. Will Labour do anything noteworthy in office? Probably not but that doesn't seem to be the main reason most people seem likely to vote for them. If they have as their election slogan "We're not the Tories" that should do the trick. Of course, Sunak could pull something out of the hat over the next year or so but it seems unlikely after their performance up to now.

Johnny, went to Cardiff High, barrister then QC (KC) now doing well for himself at the court martial service, lives in London, moving back to Cardiff when he retires in a year or so, not that you needed to know any of that.

A barrister named Johnny? Are you getting him mixed up with a barista?

I wish he would get rid of annalise dodds , Angela raynor , wes streeting or at least shut them up till after the election

[Dorcus]

I agree about Dodds and Streeting but I like Angela; she's easy on the eye.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

It's sad that modern politics is so much about presentation

But it is and streeting and dodds are hopeless

And starmer too let's be honest

Phew, glad you cleared that up

Agree, I'm absolutely no Starmer fan.

It’s fake.

Not claiming it isn't but how do you know?
