Folks,

IMHO Starmer is the best of the contenders, but there is still something in his persona and the timbre of his voice that sounds - sorry to say this - a bit weak and complainy. I just wish that modern labour could come up with a proper blue collar bruiser, someone who would be respected and liked down on the trading estate.
