Labour MPs urge end to leadership speculation

Me! (she, her) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿44

No, what’s putting off voters is Labours complete and utter betrayal of Labour polices. Having a genocide supporting cabinet, that hates trans people, immigrants, the sick and elderly, and people on benefits, whilst employing friends of paedophiles and fascists; that’s what is putting off voters!

keir starmer is the most unpopular prime minister in recorded history. what's putting voters off labour are labour's ferociously right wing policies.

Tracey34

This is probably true, not least because the media are guilty of most of the speculation & its perpetuation. UK Journalism has turned into sensationalism where this govt is concerned.

On The Threshold31

This could all have been avoided if Starmer and his faction of circus clowns hadn’t wasted their massive majority. Instead of changing peoples lives they’ve just carried on the status quo. Vote Green to get rid of Starmer ✅

Robin Ince22

Even as someone expecting to be disappointed by him, I wasn’t ready for just his determined he appears to have been to repel so many voters

Carol Hedges20

Well YOU and your rag of a paper are partly responsible! FGS! Persecution and bullying or WHAT?

Donal20

Voters are already put off by his incompetence

Claire S (UK not USA)19

Give me flipping strenght, this endless drama isn't coming from Starmer it's coming from people like you, the Guardian publishes endless unnamed source speculative drivel about a Burnham leadership challenge. They printed one yesterday when Starmer was doing his job meeting Zelensky.

Actually, it’s Keir Starmer put me off voting Labour.

Me! (she, her) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿17

Crerar using that lazy old trope of quoting ‘Labour MPs’. What MPs, name your sources? Of course you cannot because this is Starmer propaganda. A last act of desperation as he heads to a wipe out in the local elections.

Barry Parmegiana13

Keir Starmer is putting off voters.

Nico13

But he can't do the job.

craftyprimrose.bsky.social11

Four things that have actually put me off voting Labour Their economically illiterate and mean spirited approach to immigration Their unconscionable persecution of trans people Knee jerk support for police filmed kicking an immobilised human in the head Clamp down on right to protest

La Reine des Metaphores11

How ironic that one of the drama-mongers posts this. And where did that "exclusive " come from?

Suzanne10

You don’t say? So why are you and your colleagues constantly doing this?

David H10

The identity of the leader is massively overrated by the media. Government is a serious business involving hundreds of people in multiple departments putting manifesto policies into practice. Who the leader is should be almost irrelevant.

StoptheTories10

That endless drama and leadership speculation is being fueled by those in your profession.

Scree9

My own sneaky suspicion is that genocide, rampant inequality, corruption, racism and illegal wars is what puts people off.

Don't panic Jonesey9

Putting voters off is 100% of the reason for the MSM pushing this bs.

Verivir8

Happen to agree. If it made sense to change the leadership every time they messed up we would have a general election every six months. Democracy is about being able to vote a bad party out, its not about the party rotating pm every season like HIGNFY hosts.

Ian St James8

Well, there’s a surprise. And I’m sure the relentless attacks by folk like you in the MSM haven’t helped either. But hey-ho that was the plan all along wasn’t it!

Tim Hill of Antifa, #FBPE7

My sources confirm to me that journalists make up stories about the always imminent demise of Keir Starmer because he was DPP when Leveson was in full swing and Lewis Goodall has confirmed that the press always hate labour anyway for reasons. (At least I named one source, eh?)

iamyou84.bsky.social7

The brazen evil and cruelty of Labour - you know, the policies - that's what's putting off voters. bsky.app/profile/iamy...

marky-b-uc.eurosky.social7

Labour being hopelessly shit and tory lite is putting people off. They sound like the previous 5 governments at their end game.

David Shepherd7

This phrase seems to sum up the problem many of us have with Labour: ‘nothing should happen for at least several months.’

Andrew Stefaniszyn6

Desperate stuff - I guess these unnamed MPs are Starmer and his tiny cadre. Most I suspect are both uncomfortable with the situation, want it done quickly and and in an orderly way and will breathe a sigh of relief when it’s over what ever the outcome.

beer57.bsky.social6

Maybe you should stop talking about it then.

Krycek6

The racism, transphobia and doing the bidding of their rich donors are putting off voters. And getting rid of Starmer won't fix that

Jennie Jordan6

The best way to stop leadership speculation is to have a competent leader… sadly both the main parties have denuded themselves of any contradictory voices so much it’s unlikely to happen.

Brock The Badger5

Curiously, the original post only got 31 likes but you saw fit to repost .. Presumably to boost or perhaps keep the ‘story’ going ?

johnw60.bsky.social5

He could stop pandering to Farage and Mahmood for a start

shrimpero3.bsky.social5

The problem is the endless dramas are mainly caused by so called reporters such as you

Sam Turner5

Have they considered not being vile reactionary scum?

Stuart Dillon5

Labour MPs are so out of touch if they think this is putting people off Labour, Labour is being run by a liar who lied to be elected leader of the Labour party, they offered change and took freebies straight away, they attack trans people, they are against migrants making a life here.

NotMyCircus4

Although, to be fair, repeated comments by Keir Starmer, are also putting off voters. It sure is a puzzle

The Damned George Gremlin3

And there was me thinking it was labour's cruelty to the vulnerable and commitment to genocide putting people off.

notjason101.bsky.social3

Remember last week when you spent your time encouraging kier starmer to resign.

ellvee55.bsky.social2

It must be speculation that's putting off voters because all of them are four-square behind arming Israel, coming down hard on the poor whenever you think you can get away with it, out-racisting Reform and coming down as hard as possible on wrongspeak.

Bun of Babylon 🐇2

Breaking: Party whose MPs got elevated for backstabbing their old leader really want to backstab their new leader.

Jane Harbison2

Accurate we’ve had enough from the media stoking these rumours

tubaguycolin.bsky.social2

Let's see what happens on Friday.😉

Iacovos2

The choice is simple really. Labour get rid of Starmer or the voters get rid of Labour

Stewart Macdonald2

So when you gonna stop Pippa as you are the architect of all this BS. We see you and believe me the end of all this is near. Be prepared.

mikebarrett1943.bsky.social2

Please listen to them Ms Crerar, your joy at jumpng on the destroy SKS bandwagon serves no one more than the frog faced Fuehrer in waiting. Is that really what you want for this country?

Trinovantian2

I think you'll find that it's Keir himself that is putting off voters

NAS Miramar2

Fair point. But the voters are already gone. @labouruk.bsky.social just don’t know it yet. Labour really screwed themselves by stopping Andy Burnham from running and now that the fire is raging they want to call the fire brigade back.

Hartley Patterson2

<satire, sarcasm, whatever> In tomorrow's media, journalists will speculate as to whether Labour MPs call to end speculation will succeed.

DamonTheDemon2

Its negative briefings. Thats why everyone despises Labour, from every corner of political spectrum. Its briefings. Nasty things. Its in no way; WFA Two-child benefit rebellion Freebies scandal MPs arrested Countless U turns, inc WASPI Multiple resignations and sackings GENOCIDE And on and on…

pmf2

Possibly also putting people off: bsky.app/profile/shak...

Lord Woke of The Elite Metropolis13

Make it stop by being less shite?

On The Threshold13

Starmer should have resigned after the Mandelson scandal. Instead he’s stuck around like a bad smell. Vote Green to get rid of Starmer ✅✅✅

Alejandro9

Why is this embarrassing clown still the PM? Granted, there is no talent in Labour. However, Keir Starmer is just a sentient slab of tofu who picks on minorities

Martin K7

They are Tories in red, don't trust these Labour liars

Amy From Iacon.7

Getting rid of that thing would be a good start.

Steven6

If Labour was a left party instead of a wannabe Tory/reform hybrid people might vote for them. Just a thought.

The Bishop 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦🏴‍☠️💙4

So let me get this straight: Starmer has squandered a large election majority, done little for two years (aside from running an aimless Trump appeasement campaign), and is now facing heavy losses on the 7th — yet he’s still clinging to his position?

Barnsley Soft Lad3

I'll give it until exit polls on Thursday
