I'd counter that Keir Starmer's ratings (while better than any other party leader) are below David Cameron's in 09-10 and Tony Blair's in 96-7.
But then one person's 'Keir's the man for me' vote counts exactly the same as another's 'could they really do any worse?' vote

Spurs fans are tweeting comparisons to early Arteta, but the comparison is more like Emery. Enough early progress to win plaudits - but gutless when the going gets tough, and a style that never really takes hold and is too easy to defeat.

Ange losing home and away to neighbours is a subtle touch

Voter ID in the US is code for Jim Crow and everyone on all sides of the debate is fully aware of that. When pulled by conservatives outside the US it's literally cargo cult nonsense, you might as well pray to a statue of Prince Phillip

This is a huge moment of risk for Labour. The fine details matter enormously here, taking the operation and maintenance of the railway onto the Government’s balance sheet is a massive political call.

There’s only one way to beat them, get round the VAT

Odegaard doing this silly app a great service by humbling these accounts within a day of posting.

Joe Cole: “that kid’s wrote that banner before he came here”

Extraordinary.

The price of rapidly improving over past two seasons has been our second-string being more like third or fourth string in terms of being able to maintain quality. And we have a manager who hasn't yet learned to rotate properly.
