What do you think Starmer needs to do to destroy Boris that he isn't already doing?

Channel his inner John Major.

(Though he would have to find his Eggwina Currie.)

Well he's still leading the party for a start. Given the number of open goals Keir was gifted that's not a great performance.

Boris Johnson makes a better prime minister than Keir Starmer would despite Partygate, the cost of living crisis and the confidence vote in Johnson held by his MPs, according to the latest Observer poll.

The Opinium figures, which will raise further concerns within Labour over the party leader’s performance, shows that the prime minister has a two-point lead over his opponent. It also reveals that Starmer’s party holds a narrow two-point lead, compared with a three-point lead in the last poll a fortnight ago. Labour are on 36% of the vote, with the Tories up one point on 34%. The Lib Dems are on 13% with the Greens on 6%.

Frankly unless Boris bends her maj over the desk on live tv Sir Kier hasn't got a hope. These are mid terms.

If you can't destroy Boris at his current performance level bring back Michael Foot.

Amber Hurd should be able to supply a more effective replacement and blame the droppings on the dog.

Sorry Sur Kier not up to the job. If you can't destroy Boris at his current performance level bring back Michael Foot.

Kate Hoey?

(why is she even in labour?)

She's in the Lords and is now more mature.

[SueEllen]

What about Pussy Galore? Sorry, Angel Rayner.
The Wail already hates her and Nadine is jealous of how much attention Boris pays to her.

If Starmer goes Rayner would either have to as well or be tainted as she was at the same event.

I would have thought she was the/a front-runner. Burnham could have been but seems a bit controversial.

[WTFH]

He deals with so much racial abuse I doubt he would put himself up for even more. Plus he's from London.

The pundits which includes betting firms have suggested:
1. Andy Burnham Mayor of Manchester - the big problem is he isn't an MP plus he is a white straight male. So even if he was an MP he would be more of the same.
2. Rachel Reeves, MP for Leeds West - woman (whatever one is) and shadows Rishi. Her voice has got noticeably lower in the last month.
3. Wes Streeting, MP for Illford - openly gay and shadows Javid in Health and social care. He's keeping the left of the party on-side.
4. Yvette Cooper MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford - woman who shadows Priti Vacant in the Home office. She is very good at putting the boot into Priti Vacant on the Home Affairs Select Committee and in parliament. However she is tainted by her husband and having ministerial posts when Blair and Brown were around.
5. Lisa Nandy, MP for Wigan - woman and mixed ethnicity. Shadows Gove. She's keeping the left of the party on-side.
6. Bridget Philipson, MP for Houghton and Sunderland - woman and shadows Zahawi in education.

Sue just disagrees with everything.

I've given you a nice list now.

Interestingly Rachel Reeves is a Londoner who moved up North. Her sister Ellie is the MP for Lewisham West and Penge.

David Lammy, he is well spoken and a listener. He is more left than what I would like but on main policies such as the EU he is pragmatic.

He deals with so much racial abuse I doubt he would put himself up for even more. Plus he's from London.
