Labour Party: Keir Starmer’s Road to Power - BBC Newsnight 

If this current trend in politics were to continue, then Starmer would simply need to be the Biden candidate....not somebody who is necessarily known or understood by the masses, but instead just a competent alternative to a shambolic and divisive ruling administration

Dennis Skinner, everyone is clapping and he's not bothered 😂 bless him

Something Keir Starmer would never say: “Oh, wait, let’s take advice from the Maths woman!”

The Labour Party must never be allowed near power again!! They cause so much damage every time their in!!!!!

Joe Biden was the only Democratic presidential candidate who could've won the 2020 election. Hopefully Labour realizes that being like them and campaigning on being competent works.

Why is this report so hell bent on making out that Kier is a gambler? There's a difference between a gamble and a decision that is thought about and based on evidence. Why doesn't this reporter take a gamble and report the news in an honest manner instead of slyly putting an angle on it.

Appalling primary-school grammar. "This last 10 years has been some of the worst" > "These last 10 years have been some of the worst".

3:32 Utterly cringe chanting by Thornberry

I like how the BBC do these “Labour’s road to power” videos, even though only 1 Labour leader has actually done it in the last 50 years.

The Labour party used to be a working class party they are now regarded by many as a ethnic party and hence their disastrous election campaign.

Make politics boring again!

Keir Starmer... The next pm... (Excluding whoever the Tories put in power next year when they sack Johnson)

It ill behoves Diane Abbott to criticise others for ambition - I met her several times politicking in the early 80s and she was the definition of ambitious.

It kills me to say this but the Labour Party does not relate to the working man (like myself) anymore.

For Diane Abbott and Ian Lavery to cite Remain as a complaint against Keir Starmer shows an astonishing level of willful ignorance on their part. Do they not remember that little thing in recent history known as the 2019 General Election, where leading Remainers finally had to accept that remaining in the EU is no longer an option, and which took place roughly five months before Starmer's election as Labour leader?

@BBC NEWS look up what going on in Nigeria....human rights are being violated

The only reason why the Labour Party has long been relegated to perpetual state of Opposition is solely because the Conservatives have always excelled in appealing to the 'basest instincts' of many working-class, whose economic livelihoods have been decimated by the most pernicious after-effects of Thachterism that have haemorrhaged the historical Labour-friendly heartlands for the last four decades plus. My only concern is if Sir Keir Starmer will be able to effectively capitalise on the 'electoral fatigue' arising from an ensuing atmosphere of the Conservatives' political bereftness over time. The fact that former Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn equivocated on Brexit most certainly DID NOT help matters for the party. There is absolutely no doubt that Brexit has turned out to be an ugly manifestation of the extremely divisive American-style culture wars, which could threaten to rip apart the British 'body politic.'

God, there are cranky replies from the right and the left.

End the BBC licence fee

Shami Chakrabarti - are you going to investigate her 2016 whitewash report into anti semitism and Corbin giving her a pearage as a reward for the cover up.

Christ we just need MMP and it will solve so many of our problems. Given proper representation, the people of the UK overwhelmingly prefer left-wing or at least centre-left socdem ideas.

A joke of a party full of jokers ?

The Labour Party’s appeal is to too narrow a section of the UK electorate for it to be a natural party of government.

The next 40 years are going to be better labour are finished.

Stop saying "Ordinary" working people, the labour party are ordinary, but working people certainly are not.

Labour please for the love of god pick a leader this time.

That road will be very long . They ditched the working class under Blair and last December they dumped the Labour Party in response.

This is eye opening into how out of touch labour is. Fine there is injustice to be called out but that is all you would be doing if you are out of power.

awkward creepy and cold he makes boris look fantastic.

TONY BLAIR 2.O

This party will never recieve my support.

Why does the Labour Party bother it’s finished. It’s dead but it won’t lay down

Prime minister?! In your dream.🤔

Immigration and Islamism, be against those two things, Labour can win.

Len McCluskey doesn't care about the working class. Keir Starmer does

I would love to vote labour...but sadly I cannot vote for a party that allows people like the shadow chancellor and the shadow health minister to act as spokesman for the party.. neither of them seem able to deliver a sentence, both seem extremely dimwitted and nobody can have faith in a political party if these 2 clowns are the best they have to offer. Imagine how bad it would be if they were running the country?. it's worse than pathetic. It's scary to imagine that the Tory party have a clear home run until labour finds candidates who are actually able to run parliament. Until then, they don't stand a chance, or even have a voice and quite rightly so.

Blank statement. You can't have an economy if you don't have an ecosystem. Self serving politicians have to go.

Labour are bonkers they believe in magic. Labour think they can generate a 3 component model with very little room for anything else. One dolop of cash for big government and the public sector, One big dolop of cash for big business and one dolop of cash for consumer only people. Look at the stats the market rocketed up and rocketed down to the same position it started and neither women nor men were more economically active that bit rose for a few years and flat lined for the rest. Tories are more slow but constant builders. yes they work with big business but they benefit with higher economic activity rates. The women were doing really well before Covid getting up the ladder and bringing on more equality along with helping the whole workforce reach a good optimal. in time as people reach an optimal where those that want to work are all working and people are more inspired overall not to be lazy then the Standard Of Living will go up hopefully with a good ecological emphasis. In time the Liberal Democrats might become a better voice for social issues and in time they might have a more optimal grasp of the economy.

Puppet

Ran over a cyclist and left the scene before Police arrived. You would think that he should know the law!!

The sooner Liebour is put out of its misery, the better. It’s part of the problem.

I hope Starmer's road to power doesn't have any cyclists on it

I like Keir, the fact that the Labour left are having a meltdown about him means he must be alright.

I guess Carolyn was right as looking at the local elections the working class are definitely your people, it's not like you were defeated in Hartlepool by nearly 7,000 votes and lost hundreds of your councilers in northern England.

If I have to vote Tory (Which I have never done in my life) to keep Labour out I will, and I know plenty of people that say the same, I don't care If the Tories set fire to my house, while I have life, I will never ever vote for them again.

My money's on Dawn Butler.

Congratulations 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Starter to date: Purge left leaning MPs in his party, Abstained on all of the Tory policies, Pushing staff members into key positions who have a record of being further to the right of some Tory MPs. Despite showing no credible opposition to the conservatives and multiple u-turns, including going back on his leadership manifesto the media have been nothing but full of praise.

They have nowhere else to go sums up stammer strategy .

12:00 so what Corbyn proposed to do in good times -- is only worth doing when the backs are against the wall --- ok thanks for the top tip on Evolution --- pffft

Socialism is just Communism with patience

Labour and the Tories make me wanna puke 🤮🤮.

Tony Blair MK2

Thanks

Please call him sir - you know he wants you to really

Road to power. One of the stupid things I heard

There is nothing Starmer wouldn't do to please his Tory masters.

A question, please, about the people you accused of terrorism and they are innocent people. Do you look forward to settling their situation and rehabilitating them? Thank you.

Starmer is pretty good I suppose

Starmer was my MP before I escaped Camdanistan. He did nothing about the Pakistani Muslim child 'grooming' gangs or the Jimmy Savile case using insufficient evidence as an excuse not to prosecute both cases when he was DCPS. He is a career politician just like Blair, also a lawyer. He immediately started a campaign to overturn the Brexit Leave result showing his disdain for the democratic result. Labour never learn.

One strength labour has is getting the tories to enact their policies from 3 years ago.

Yawn

A few more ads please

Dianne abott not approving of you is a pretty fine review really...

I want BBC to make a separate "BBC News World" channel so I can watch my news and not get notifications on UK political BS.

Pmsl kier will never be PM, nor will anyone else in the Liebore party !!

Keir.....just leave!!!

Dull

So we can have a right wing party in power or a slightly right wing party in power....welcome to the U.K.S.A

Isn't he Alan B'stard's brother?

Keith Starmer, named after Keith Hardie ( who was more relevant).

Kier Starmer Labours next PM, never going to happen.

Road to power my anus..wheres the 29 billion from the naughty eu gone why are you having to raise taxes?

Would be good to see Labour in power but doubt it since people want corrupt bullies in power instead. Especially the English lot.

bbc what happened to those theatre sized tv used then?

Keith starmer is the saviour of mankind

Hi was a remainer for the EU, he would call a second referendum. We would be right back to square one. I would never trust the labour party, ever again!!!

Well done Kim

But that's what's been going on and going on and caused and causeing wedges that unity isn't going on in the party then and now if kier starmers goverment are getting rid of and not signing up labour left wing MPs

Why is there no bame folk working in chinese nailbars ? . Because they wont do nails all day then have to work brothel at night.

0:13 XR interesting

WABBITS

McClusky must take responsibility for his part in the 80 seat Tory majority.....and so must Corbyn.

Labour voters and MPs feel betrayed

Labour needs Corbyn to heal.. labour needs a Biden.. that's Corbyn

Here in New Zealand, I do vote for the Labour Party here, in fact Jacinda Ardern is my local MP as I live in Mt. Albert but if I lived in the UK, I'd probably vote for the Tories for the sole reason that I'm against anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. I don't like how the Labour Party ignored and tolerated (if not promoted) anti-Semitism under Corbyn and how the Labour Party ignored Rakhia Ismail's complaints of racism and Islamophobia. I completely agree with Labour most of their policies but if I were in the UK, I could not in good conscience vote for them. Voting UK Labour is like voting for Hitler in Germany or Trump in America.

And he's come to a dead end because that's has far has he is going to go

A man, who lacks the true Spirit of God is like a car without an engine, and is fit only for the scrap heap! You will not find the true Spirit of God in a religion; not even in that of the Pope and Christianity, but only in Immanuel (the anointed one) called Jesus. For he is the Son of man and the true prophet sent by God, to be always our one Teacher and to set us free from all religions… “Our God is a God who saves us, in the Lord God’s hand lies escape from death.” - (Psalm 68: 20) - “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (The prophet Immanuel, called Jesus the Messiah, at John 4: 24) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (Jesus, at John 5: 24) - “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (at John 8: 32) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Jesus, at Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (at Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it. Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (Matthew 7: 9-16) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “The disciples came and asked Jesus, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - “One of the criminals who hung there also mocked and taunted him: ‘Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself, and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God? You are under the same sentence as he. For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.’ And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered, “I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” - (Luke 23: 39-43) - “For it is my Father’s will that everyone who looks upon the Son and puts his faith in him shall possess eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day” - (John 6: 40) - “teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” - (Matthew 28: 20) - Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, Wednesday the 21st of October, 2020: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you.

This is disgusting what Kier starmer has done dispicable .

Labour have too many in it that hate the working class. That is now being returned and the anger towards Lab rubs very deep and cold in many working class people now. I think Labour could fall away.

Burnham will be the next leader of the Labour Party, he will need a knighthood first!

The important thing is that the Labour Party keeps hating Jews.

I am no Tory but hate Keir Starmer, he just cared about getting into power nothing else. The BBC will love him :(.

Counting gold is a bad thing?? Or specific to jews?? Mm if you say so🙄

Diane Abbott's voice pisses me off

All forgetting how well New Zealand is doing

Diana chip on both shoulders these days

I tore up my membership card fro good the day they elected him, and I was knocking doors all over London for Corbyn, when I should have been enjoying my Christmas busking tips. Starmer torry party...
