Starmer #Marr interview leaves a random selection of Labour faces here in Brighton pretty dour... energy nationalisation is the only possible solution: you can't run the National Grid as a co-op... 1/
2/ Rayner's "scum" comment reflects exactly how working class people talk - and how many voters want to see the super-rich crooks characterised ... yet Keir couldn't bring himself to endorse it...
3/ There's already quite a bit of disquiet over the rule change SNAFU - even among the Labour right... who are rightly obsessed with speaking outside the bubble ...
4/ ... When Marr said "it could be you last speech" unless the polls improve, that's a fair summary of what I've heard ppl say so far, even if sympathetic to Starmer...
5/ The Wednesday speech would have to be a humdinger, with surprise concrete commitments, to cut thru the miasma of bitterness and self obsession at this conference...
6/ The only upside was that Starmer ended up to the left of Rachel Reeves on income tax - and made a good, impassioned hit on Johnson's dishonesty
