Let's have it
Sludge, you sadly ignore the bleeding obvious following facts.

1) He's dull as dishwater with the personality of a wet cabbage.

2) Getting rid of incompetent cocknuggets like Burgon hasn't gone down well with many, some seeing it as a purge of Corbynistas as opposed to getting rid of incompetent shitbiscuits.

3) The "author" of Labour's disjointed Brexit approach won't go down too well with Labour leave voters.

4) Many Corbynista members are leaving ( or claiming to ) to join Galloway's latest ego driven project, "WorkersPartyGB". Could well fragment Labour vote.

5) Starmer will have to get through EHRC report and face the problem he was silent about antisemitism at the time whilst having a Jewish wife and kids.

6) Most of the far left antisemites finding out he has a Jewish wife and kids will target antisemitism at him as a result.
