This may be going against the grain, but it is really refreshing to see a politician acknowledge publicly without equivocation that something they did was wrong and apologise for it.

Two days late and on the day you sent Rachel Reeves to TV to say you didn't do the thing you'd go on to apologise for doing that evening.
Fair enough. Good to see some level of reflection at least!
It is a shame he has not reflected on most other topics such as the spycops bill. If he fights strongly against the latest Tory efforts to effectively outlaw protests then that will be a start.

He comes across as an empty shell, it’s odd really.
Keir please.
Fantastic.
You lot are so fecking Tory even your Labour leader is a Tory 
Serves me right for not checking my sources.
Although Liam Byrne does have previous for being a nightmare to work with: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/nov/17/liam-byrne-minister-diva-news
And I still haven't forgiven him for writing that memo in 2010.
It was still useful insight about the party tbh I just think the jouro might be being too kind to the labour right and current leadership. Yeah that note has to go down as one of the most stupid political mistakes of recent history.
There this really interstering NS piece from 2016 talking about the failed ''golden generation'' that came after Blair and Brown - https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2016/09/fall-labour-s-golden-generation
I'm pretty sure Byrne would fit into this as well.
Can't believe people thought him visiting that church was an accident
As his chance at PMQs today.
I thought it wasn’t a bad one, had lots of fun.
improvement!

I wonder how many Labour members have left because they are not happy with his leadership? A purge certainly improves your internal membership poll percentages doesn't it...

Best response to that video I've seen
To be fair, you can't account for the odd nutjob.
Thought he dealt with it well.
Can't be arsed reading back but has anyone else pointed out this landlord dude is also a writer trying to sell his novels?
And he also went on a big road trip around Scotland in August/September last year?
He's at it.

Why is Starmer not backing this motion like every other opposition party is? At what point does his inaction consist of gross misconduct ir dereliction of duty as Labour leader.

Labour unveils £30bn plan to create 400,000 green jobs
https://www.theguardian.com/politic...lan-create-green-jobs-keir-starmer-employment
So we have some new policy announcements. I cannot help but think this is missing a zero both in the pricing, and in the number of jobs which should be being created. Very odd to release this half way through an election campaign too, but there we go.

I think I do have an answer to this, although it is by no means a defence of the move. I know that there is a lot of personal support for Boris in Hartlepool, coupled with a lot of distaste for the Tories. It could add up to people voting Tory for Boris.
Anyway, I get the feeling from LOTO office that they are still pursuing the 'attack the Tories, not Boris' line. Which of course begs the question - if you are consistently following public opinion in determining your actions, how will you ever do anything to change it?
This is why Keith is never going to win the election. I won't be voting Labour whilst he's in charge and I don't any other Muslim should either. He treats us like shit on his shoe.
I don't even know who runs the lib dems or the greens, but they'll get my vote instead.

Tbh Labour should have voted in this guy for leader
Wonder where he is ?

Forensic?
If he loses this constituency he will be doing worse than Corbyn who held it twice.
Cant help but think what has gone wrong so far with his leadership and if labour are just screwed for the foreseeable future. I literally don't think there is anything they can do, other than find a leader that can work some magic out of nothing. They are fighting too many things, including themselves.
Starmer's a complete non-entity. My vote will go to Greens as long as he remains the leader.
Same here.
The one decisive thing he's managed to do is remove anyone left wing from the party.
Depending on how bad the results are, surely Starmer won't resign?
Is Green the new Lib Dem?
I live in London, and there’s quite a big disconnect between national politics and local politics - I’m not sure who I’ll vote for yet. I’m certain Kahn will win a landslide in London.
