There are some awful idiots about. There was an idiot caller( is there ever any other kind ?) on LBC the other week, she said she didn’t vote for Corbyn as he wanted to abolish food banks and she was reliant on them.

We can laugh at the idiocy, but these people have been deliberately fed all this tripe.

All this talk about a bridge and they have no motorway to Derry. Ever see the map of Northern Ireland's railway? All the stops are unionist towns.

Nissan shutting down temporarily from today - Deep cleaning and parts shortage, literally everyone is going home without pay.

A little taster for the people who voted for Brexit to see how we'd cope for a few months never mind permanently if we don't get a trade deal with the EU.

Starmer elected with overwhelming support.

Easily a superior politician to BoJo, and I suspect will quickly get the better of him, particularly when we return to normal time and more bread and butter issues come to the top of the agenda again.

I will give him six months and try to give him a chance, but it feels like a return to centrism with a man with even less of a personality than Blair. He may be better than the latter, but so was John Major. It’s hardly lifted the mood of most Labour members and supporters I know, but who knows! Maybe there’s hope!

I’d agree that it’s not a particularly inspiring choice. But whoever Labour got this time wasn’t likely to do much for inspiration. It was a poor slate of candidates, but Starmer was miles ahead of anybody else in the race, and I think will be the right choice. 

I’d actually be more excited by Rayner’s election as deputy leader. She is a very focussed politician, and has the capacity to be an excellent leader in the future.

I like Rayner, though I voted for Burgon.

Starmer is capable in that he is a bland member of the political class. He will not speak to the currently safe Labour strongholds and their emigrant family history or to the old industrial heartlands that have been lost. He will pick up some Liberal voters and 'remainers', but he was more than partly responsible for the disastrous electoral policy on Brexit in the last election. I could see the logic at the time, it may well have won him a debate at the Oxford Union, but it meant in what was seen as a single issue election, Labour was seen as a remain party by leavers and a leave party by remainers. 
He has been rewarded for this by becoming the leader of the party.
