Any Brexit Deal will PASS with Labour Support - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The new Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer just wants BREXIT to go away, he needs to get the red wall back, and the only way to that is to support a BREXIT DEAL.   This could help Boris, if a lot of hard Brexit MPs oppose the deal then he will need Labour support.  The Labour Party could hardly support a NO DEAL BREXIT, if the UK Government comes back with a deal, the Labour Party has opposed a NO DEAL BREXIT for years, but politics is always changing, thus the reverse move by Labour.   The question will there be a DEAL, thus far no smoke signals, white or black!

Starmer, Corbyn and the Labour Party - Sir Keir Starmer Era


Lets Get Real:

Another good day for Sir Keir, he is seen as taking on the LEFT of the Labour Party, that will do wonders for his poll ratings, while he would gain even more if he threw the 32 Labour MPs and Peers out of the Labour Party who are on the extreme left.  It should be recalled that the PM removed the whip from over 20 MPs and they got the chop at the 2019 General Election because they did not have the Conservative symbol by their name.  Every Labour Leader has to fight the left, Tony Blair was hardly a friend of the TUC and the Labour Left but he did win three elections.  Sir Keir Starmer has taken the right path for a future PM of the UK.

Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party - Looking forward to 2024


Lets Get Real:

This is a major moment for Sir Keir Starmer, his actions could decide if he wins the general election of 2024.  The fact that Jeremy Corbyn was suspended from the Party was a good move in Starmer winning the 2024 election, this reverse by a sub committee shows that the Starmer leadership has not set the Party in his image, Starmer has a choice, accept Corbyn back and give him the Labour Whip or reject Corbyn by keeping him on the out.  One hopes Sir Keir shows a backbone and does not give Corbyn the Labour Whip, this would be a CLEAR MESSAGE, it might risk an internal Labour revolt, better that NOW, that the extreme left thinking they can do what they like and there are no ramifications from the leadership.  Sir Keir should think, what would Lady Thatcher do in such a case.

The suspension of Corbyn by Starmer could lead to Starmer as next PM - Labour Party and anti-Semitism


Lets Get Real:

The removal of the Parliamentary Whip from former Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn might just have unlocked the door to 10 Downing in 2024 for Sir Keir Starmer.  The new leader might not have planned to remove Corbyn, but the fact that the remarks by Corbyn left the leader with no other option, Corbyn as the Deputy leader of the Labour Party has stated has a blind spot when it comes to anti - semitism, ( the Deputy leader herself was in trouble for calling a Conservative MP scum in the House of Commons ).  For those voters in the middle who could never vote for Corbyn, the fact that Sir Keir stood up and took action will show he is ruthless, although Sir Keir was in the Shadow Cabinet lead by Corbyn for years.  The removal of the whip could start a civil war in the Labour Party, Starmer has to stand tough, If the new leader does this then he might just be the next UK PM.

The Labour LEFT and Sir Keir Starmer - Labour Reborn? Part 2


Lets Get Real:

The next General Election is planned for December 19th 2024, of course this  under the fixed term Parliament Act, the Conservative Manifesto promised to repeal that ACT, this would allow the PM to chose the day of the General Election.  If the House of Commons passes the removal of the Fixed Term Parliament then the next election could be in 2023.  The Labour Party needs to rebuild the red wall and show Labour voters that they can be trusted.  In the 2019 election they had three problems, Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit and the Anti Jewish perception of the Labour Party.  The first two have been fixed, Corbyn is OUT, and Brexit by the end of the year will be done.  The Anti Jewish perception will be removed if Starmer carries on with his zero tolerance of any alleged negative Jewish statements by Labour members, MPs etc.   This has been a good two days for Starmer.

Is Sir Keir Starmer the NEW " Tony Blair " - Labour reborn ?

Lets Get Real:

The sacking of Rebecca Long - Bailey showed that the new Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer has STEEL in the blood, this was Starmer's clause 4 moment, it was a good fight to have with the LEFT.  In one stroke he removed his challenger from the leadership race and rebuffed the HARD LEFT of the Labour Party.   The Conservatives should keep an eye on Starmer, his PM Q/A's show a man who down on the detail, even if he has had a charisma by - pass.   Boris has to make sure that he gets BREXIT DONE, and spends more money on keeping people in either work or helping companies after the furlough scheme is finished.  At least the Government has a decent Opposition, will Starmer be the next PM ?, good start, but its a long road.

The Labour Leadership CONTEST - General Election 2024


Lets Get Real:

The next general election will be in 2024, the Labour Party could decided the result now if it elects the right next leader.   The negatives for Labour would be Sir Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry, they are London MPs and firm Remainer supporters.  While the election of Lisa Nandy or Jess Phillips would give the Labour Party a chance in 2024.  The PROBLEM with Ms Phillips is that she is a Remainer, and has stated that she would support going back in to the EU.   That will not go down well with Northern and Midlands Labour supporters, who voted Conservative first the time, as to get BREXIT DONE.   This blog is not a Labour supporting blog, that is VERY CLEAR, but its once piece of advice for Labour voters is vote for Lisa Nandy, she just might be the ticket to win in 2024.

Labour's Civil War - Part 2 - Brexit 31st January 2020


Lets Get Real:

Thus the worse general election for Labour since 1983 and even then Michael Foot managed to gain more SEATS that Jeremy Corbyn.   One of the main points for LABOUR losing was the fact that Jeremy Corbyn was a the LEADER, the UK VOTER was not going to vote for a MARXIST for PM, they are not that foolish.   The Labour Leadership and MPs need to learn that they have to track to the CENTER, that is how Tony Blair won won three elections, 1997, 2001, and even after Iraq in 2005.   The last leaders after Blair did not have a plan and were defeated by the voters in 2010, 2015 and even 2017 under PM May.  In some of the interviews the Labour leadership has said that they won on policy but not with the voters, it is the last bit that matters, after 1983 Labour learned its lesson, NOW they must re-learn those lessons.
