Starmer has taken over the Labour Party, but has not dealt with the various issues in the party completely, yet. EHCR report etc.
He has then to set out a program of policies and sell them to the country as departure from the previous leadership.
Essentially - promising start, but lots to do.

Compares molotov cocktails to drunken mooning.........
Like the whole binding referendum business. Either they thought referendums were automatically binding as some argued later should have been the case, and thus wrong, or left it out intentionally or otherwise. But if theyd drafted it to clarify the point it would not have arisen as a question.
Drafters arent perfect. But if it's not explicit that certain laws are disspplied then it seems reasonable ground to challenge on the basis parliament must be clear in its intentions if it wants to change the law and theres a conflict.
And they need reminding over and over that ministerial statements and guidance arent law.
Enough armchair legality for me.
Unless of course the government is not unpopular.
Very little sympathy here.
Oh dear

This particularly resonated:
“He is running as George Wallace and the Republican Party has accepted that,” said Stevens, the author of “It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump,” a book out on Tuesday. “He tweets about keeping Black people out of the suburbs. I didn’t want to believe this about the party. I went through a period where I said he hijacked the party.” Instead, he concluded the party “had become comfortable as a white grievance party playing on racial tensions.”
Once Trump is gone, the GOP needs to take Trump's advice and drink gallons of bleach to clean out the system and become healthy again.
I don’t however think these people should have their entire lives ruined due to this, although they certainly should face serious consequences. US sentences are quite something.
They should read PB
Nothing to see here...
35 years for the killers and a few years for destruction of property seem more apt.
Annoying really - that’s what £12,500 is getting me.
Labour under Blair and before him John Smith put a massive amount of effort into ensuring they were ready. Keir Starmer has to do the same; it will take time. The difference compared with Corbyn's leadership is that it's possible to imagine that Labour might get there over the next three or four years.
I'm still unconvinced about Anneliese Dodds, though. That is the absolute key role, other than that of the leader himself, for establishing credibility. She's nowhere near there yet, and it is wasting valuable time.
Reminds me of various teary eyed guilty teenagers after the London riots years back.
Guaranteed to turn people to hang em and flog em views.
Thst said, sentencing in the USA seems even worse than here.
Plus, wait, is there still an Open University!?
Our office is open again. Around 130 desks available for over 400 people to use.
Today a grand total of six are occupied.
Was 69 cases a week ago, now it's 81.
The last few days have been the first time Week on Week figures have been higher since the middle of May
Nobody on my floor at all.
If people start getting elected by lack of negatives, he's doing well I guess
When YouGov gave the Tories a decent poll, you were at lengths to point out that YouGov were particularly favourable to them. Sifting through the leader ratings, I noticed Opinium average a 19.4% lead for Starmer, whilst the other pollsters average 6.7%. YouGov average 11.2%
I made some graphs to compare the various "outliers" - this is all pollsters, Boris "Satisfaction" lead in Blue, and his "Net Satisfaction" in Red
How does 400 into 130 work. Is that the fabled "hotdesking" ?
That would be - courageous.
Unfair, in the sense that he was far too generous.
Doesn’t seem ideal in the current circumstances.
Admittedly I don’t understand what his admirers see in him, but just 5% have no view.
That means to improve his ratings he has to convert people who dislike him into supporters. That will be very hard. The opposite is a lot more likely.
Meanwhile, comparatively few people have a deep dislike of Starmer (and many of them may be Corbynistas infuriated by his anti racism as our own dear BJO is). He has as many ‘don’t knows’ as ‘don’t likes’ which is a nice profitable pool to fish in especially if Johnson continues to show all the clarity, stability and decision of a drunk on a bouncy castle.
As far as I am aware, no testing program in any country claims to be identifying more than a small fraction of the infected.
This is because the majority of those infected do not know they have the disease.
So, unless you test everyone in the country, repeatedly, the testing will only find those who are ill enough to notice.
So *all* track and trace programs can't work, according to this idea.
Edit - if Buttler was a decent keeper, Bess would now have four wickets, against some of the best players of spin in the world.
Just a few thoughts.
But there are fewer desks than staff. Agile working, they call it.

They are funded to snoop. Why can't track and trace be put squarely in their lap?
-It would be a publicity win for the spooks
-It makes the most of a national asset we've spent vast amounts on
-Hopefully they'd do a good job - they'd certainly have a vested interest in doing so
This is the case in every country around the world, I understand.
The Hill
This is absurd. Even I throw better than that.

Sorry, they are the number of polls whilst Sir Keir has been LotO. Here you go
Updated to include todays IPSOS-MORI, where Boris claws backs 9 points I believe
His first assumption is that you need to have a track on the vast majority of the infected. That has not be accomplished anywhere.
GCHQ won't tell you who has been infected, and silently infected others, who have silently infected others.
This is why this is hard.
Meanwhile it’s unusual for those who have unfavourable views of someone after they have become PM to change their minds. Blair over Princess Diana’s death was a dazzling exception, or Thatcher over the Falklands. I don’t quite see Johnson doing the same. This crisis might have been a similar opportunity but his handling of it has been at best inept and at worst catastrophic.
Starmer, however, slightly behind Johnson on raw numbers, has a quarter of the vote to mine - as people get to know him, there’s a chance they’ll come to like him.
Of course, the opposite may happen (Neil Kinnock) or he may totally fail to cut through a la Ming Campbell, but the potential is there.
(Come to think of it, probably every teacher to have wielded a cane in anger is dead now, or at least retired, since it was abolished 40 years ago by the lefty Thatcher government and you'd have needed to be 22 to be a teacher and probably 30 to be trusted with a stick by the 1970s.)

The rest of that thread is interesting.
Obviously there’s no way they can distribute 300m vaccines in 10 days anyway.
Scary I know, but the fact that Trump is not 50 points behind with the madness that he talks shows that Americans are easily pleased.
I also wonder what the Trump supporting anti-vaxers will think.
