Andy Burnham

I don’t know what that means.

It’s quite simple. You’ve never come across a barrister who doesn’t have some level of charisma. Starmer doesn’t have a charismatic personality, he is not the only barrister to possess this trait. Different practice areas demand different bevaiour.

You got to have a personality to have charisma and Starmer hasn't got a wiff of a personality.

Yep, I think his voice is part of the problem, he just sounds like a robot! The door would be well and truly slammed in his face, if he knocked the door selling You Fibre, let alone knocking the door saying ‘ hello I’m the Prime Minister’

I agree Max. Like many others in his profession he’s no Horace Rumpole.

He should have been a politician

So now his voice disqualifies his from being PM. It’s no wonder this country is fucked.

Joe Pasquale, anyone?

I don’t think anyone has said that, I certainly haven’t! I merely posted a comment that his voice is awful, there was no mention of disqualification of someone being PM just because their voice is a bit meh.

This latest play by Starmer could work well* for Burnham in the long run.

*assuming his goal doesn't extend beyond being leader of the opposition.

Huge risk. Burnham would have almost certainly won the seat. It could now be lost.

Starmer will change his mind by Friday.

A Reform win would be a massive backfire. I’m certain that they have thought of this and a lot will depend on who they place as a candidate.
