    The government are ruining themselves and highlighting they're useless. You just can't vote for these at this moment.

    So, Corbyn could've won by default. Boris is a poor leader!

    Corbyn would have lost against a tub of lard or a block of ice

    Yet he'd have probably won in 2007 against a block of ice...sorry, Theresa May, if the election campaign had been the usual six weeks instead of four.
    But, thankfully, he's now gone and Labour has a competent leader, unlike the government.

    Funny thing is, the world what he craved has started to emerge with signs of colonnialism being pulled down in the form of statues as a start. Wonder how far this will go, theres a heck of a lot of statues, buidlings and parks that are tied in with the history of the British Empire. What will the new name for Peel Park be?

    How do you know he's more competent, the fella hasn't done anything yet. I know the Tories have made a balls up in how they've dealt with the virus but lets wait to see what he has to offer first before judging.

    No statue for Keir then when he eventually snuffs it.

    In the meanwhile Boris ruins the country. Makes no sense.

    You can only judge the current government. Think Labour have worked out that they don't even need to do anything because they're just bringing down the party themselves.

    That is where he made his money that funded it, so not tenuous

    This is a personal opinion of a labour supporting " journalist ", suggest you read a truer account . The CPS were castigated by an independent enquiry , Kier Starmer and Labour need no help to discredit themselves they've damaged themselves beyond repair , they are unelectable , they have lost Scotland- most of the North and have now become a Momentun controlled cult party for the metropolitan elite and champagne socialists in London .

    The guy got his knighthood for his legal work with victimised groups, often pro bono. The idea that he would somehow collude to help Saville escape justice is as laughable as it is disgraceful.

    Its more disgraceful that the BBC covered and the Crown prosecution service let Saville off , the whole episode was shameful he is tainted by this whether directly or indirectly .

    Not sure how much or how little or if any Starmer was implicit in the Saville case but it was certainly a disgrace on the hands of the BBC, an organisation that should really have been disbanded by now.

    The case seemingly balanced on the reluctence of 4 key witnesses , they were ruled unreliable , the BBC held an enquiry , it was never released . Despite 100s of testements the case was not pursued , by the time the full facts became public Saville was dead . The CPS had ample time while he was alive to re- open the whole case but never did . This was disgraceful , crocodile tears were shed after saville had died . Once it became public knowledge 100s came forward to accuse him , even former work collegues who were abused by him our witnessed his abhorant sexual assaults , the witnesses wer ther at the time but it was not persued by the CPS .

    Which part of, not enough people were prepared to give evidence, don't you understand? Saville preyed on hundreds or thousands of victims from the mid 50s onwards for over 50 years. Tory governments were in power for the majority of those years but failed to act against him. During that time there were numerous allegations made in various organisations that Saville was involved with which were not believed or were brushed under the carpet. He had many powerful friends, including senior police officers, Margaret Thatcher and Prince Charles, who must have known that allegations had been made against him but still facilitated the positions he was put in that gave him access to kids and vulnerable people. It's known that Saville was arrested and interviewed but threatened the interviewing officers with retribution from on high from his powerful friends and was released without charge. Incredibly, he was even given a private room at Broadmoor Hospital which only he had access to, which he used to abuse patients.
    Starmer was DPP for 5 of those 50+ years in which Saville played the system and evaded justice. Yet somehow it's Starmers fault. Ridiculous.
