How very original. The last refuge of a scoundrel. Who is deciding that this is how to get voters back?

I thought he got the balance about right ... pride in the country without the nationalist rhetoric of the populists.

The farce is that there has neve been any question about left people liking their own country. What patriotism has been converted into is slavish acceptance that as a country we can do no wrong. This is how all criticism ultimately gets censored.

I agree with you entirely ... but the way it was packaged under Corbyn made it far too easy for the RWM to trash it. They will find it a lot harder with Starmer (although they will certainly try).

It may remove some of the negativity but it won't get Starmer a majority. It looks weak and pathetic to many people. If it was that critical, Starmer, and Labour would be miles ahead in the poles given the unprecedented mess the Tories are making.

I loathe Johnson at PMQs - and anywhere else - as he uses the lowest of tricks. But he is struggling without his cheerleaders and his two answer providers who sit immediately behind him on the benches passing pieces of paper. It’s pathetic really
