I did warm to Starmer somewhat when I heard he'd been self deprecating about his speeches a while ago, I think that a bit more of that would go down well with voters (think a lot of Johnson's appeal came from that).
My friends are labour or liberal voters

I don't know any from our conversations that think he's got any sort of mmmmphh about him

I think if labour had elected a housewives choice like Blair......but without his paper smiles and lies ......they would be romping home

I think middle ground liberalism is the way to go but the liberals are shocking so I am holding my nose as always and voting Labour......but not for starmef
