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.

He did better PMQs just now but still can’t deliver a killer punch. Debating points are good but you have to deliver the final blow. He doesn’t seem able to. As much as I dislike Blair he could do this

This is where I think Starmer's handlers have got it all wrong. Blair had charisma and extraordinary acting skills. Despite moving to the right he always hammered at the tories. Fooled me for sure but Starmer has none of Blair's abilities. Even Ed M outdid theócurrent LOTO

He’s no Blair in terms of debating or acting skills

Indeed ... and the sincerity and values will end up being a massive plus over debating and acting.

Not with the red wall voters he wants to reach - subtlety will be wasted. They loved Blair
