- Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said winning the next election is more important than party unity. But can he take a disunited party to power? Please subscribe HERE bit.ly/1rbfUog
Rows with left-wingers who are angry over the direction he is taking the party have dominated Labour's annual conference.
Sir Keir told the BBC Labour had to change to avoid losing a fifth general election in a row.
Is the left uniting against Keir Starmer - or is the leader trying to rid himself of the left?
Newsnight’s Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports.
Emily Maitlis is joined by former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell.

No. Labour are done.
Labour were done in the 80s. The Tories were done in the 90s and 2000s. Things change.
Notice how the mainstream media keep proping up the two main parties and give no attention to new parties that need help getting exposure, the media want the status quo preserved rather than whats best for the country, an actual right wing party that will take tough decisions based on logic, not pander to the media with virtue signalling nonsense.

Idk tbh, Jeremy Corbyn damaged Labour so much that it's difficult to come back from that.

It depends on which political party the BBC decides to support and which politician it decides demonise. After all, the BBC is known for being impartial.
In answer to the question, without the 25 seats lost in Scotland a very long time ago, Labour will never be in No10.
no matter what the Rich London Lawyer tries to turn them into.
Not necessarily true. Tony Blair won his first 2 elections without needing Scottish seats, although Scotland got him over the love for the 3rd time
@@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons Ah! who could forget The War Monger.
@@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons The magic of new labour was not Blair, but the combination of Blair and Brown. Blair was much more new labour, Brown was much more of a traditional economic leftist. Despite their differences ,they formed a partnership that won elections. Until present day labour can do the same, it will not get elected. Unity is the only way forward, it's going to be difficult to achieve though.
Being a successful lawyer is rather a positive thing. certainly, voters would prefer a competent and educated person in N10 rather than uneducated nobody who achieved nothing in his life (like Corbyn).

Jeremy Corbyn is an exceptional person, a charismatic politician. Keir Starmer is totally different.
The biggest difference between Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer, was that Jeremy Corbyn was leader of the Labour Party, Keir Starmer is leader of the Blair Party.
Nope. I voted labour all my life until they shifted far left. No room for extremes whether to the left or the right. Leading from a position of extremes creates division. This nation needs unity not division. The reason the Tories have been successful because they have managed to appear more centre, drifting slightly right and slightly left of centre as they have needed to. IMO just as Labour did in the 1990s.
Centrists disgust me
@@zzmoonz centralism is the best form of governance, by balancing the best part of socialism and capitalism, traditionalist and progressive views. Nobody wants any extreme right or left governance.
@@ryanm4169 sure when we're talking about a government.
Governments balance a left and right but if your left opposition is centrist and your right party is just right wing that isn't a balanced government thats just succeeding ground and creating a more right wing governance as a whole.
Also with balancing capital and socialism thats social democracy and starmer doesn't even want the party that far left.
There is nothing extreme in the 2017 and 2019 manifestos. The policies are not only the norm in successful European countries they supported by evidence. I am sure Tories will welcome you selfish I’m All Right Jack individual
He's got about as much chance of having a Cervix!
🤣🤣🤣👍
Yup, no womb in politics for loony tunes
He said it’s wrong to say women have a cervix.Just this week he did.
Can't stand Keir myself, but that's not what he said. You are muddling his words. He said it's wrong to say that only women have a Cervix, e.g. it isn't fair to say that a woman needs to have a cervix to be a proper woman, when there are trans women who don't have one. Unless you're one of those types that thinks trans women aren't women. Nothing Keir said there was bad.
@Eric the Axolotl I didn't directly quote him, I merely explained what he said. Anyone with more than 2 brain cells could understand it. That means you have 1 or 0.
@Eric the Axolotl "ain't" going to learn lol you have proven my point. You can't grasp basic english despite being from the country, so it makes sense that you would completely misinterpret what the man said. Oh btw, everyone knows that people who say "go on have the last word!" are the ones desperate for it, thinking that it would put off a reply lmao
Keir doesn't even know how to get to number 10, let alone what to do when he gets there. Doubt he even knows where he lives.
WHY is there a general election in just 18 months? And if it's Boris' plan what's he stated reason?
Oh do behave😂
No. If he couldn't easily win Hartlepool in the North what makes you think he can win on a platform of empty rhetoric?
They managed somehow to lose guaranteed labour seats, yet somehow can’t seem to understand or even contemplate the reasons why.
Starmer is heckled by member's of his own party while talking about his mother's terminal illness and death, Labour are in a world of trouble 🤦♂️
He was heckled for pretending to care about nurses when he doesn’t support increasing their pay. There were no shouts when he talked about his mother.
doesn't suit the scenario of the BBC or MSM
No 10 in the polls maybe.
No 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Starmer says it’s more important to win an election rather than being a United party. Many voters are confused enough as it is about what he and Labour stand for so I’m sure they’ll really feel endeared to voting for a split and divided party. The Tories must be reeling in delight. Maybe Starmer could be the first former Labour leader to cross over to become a Tory Prime Minister.
We've had a similar problem here in Australia, where so many Labor party candidates don't appear to have different views to those of the Coalition Govt. that's in power. As a result, many apathetic voters just keep voting the idiots back in!
There's a few in that party that I would never vote for it while they are still in it, many on the front bench. The problem isn't only Starmer.
it's every single Labour MP and 50% of Labour members, get rid of those and the virtue signalling racist identity politics and woke nonsense and maybe Labour could be electable again. Right now I'm sorry to inform you if you are currently a member of the Labour party you're a brainwashed tribal voting loon that has lost touch with logic and reality.

The Labour party will shrink without Corbyn in charge to attract the 'true lefties', but the Labour party is much more likely to win a general election with Starmer in charge because most of the UK's electorate are not 'true lefties'.
The majority of people who join political parties are extremist fruitcakes (left-wing in Labour, right-wing in Conservative). The majority of the electorate are normal and relatively centrist. Extremists (like Corbyn and Rees-Mogg) are popular with party members, moderates (like Blair and Cameron) attract general election votes.

Starmer's approval ratings are now similar to those of Boris, and as we know Boris is far more popular than most of the other well known Conservatives. Depending on how things panned out, it's quite possible that Starmer would beat Boris in an election... and if Boris wasn't leading the Conservatives it's possible that Starmer could win by a mile, despite (or maybe because of) his reticence to take a strong stance on most things.
