Burnham’s Speech ‘Enthused Me’ In A Way Starmer Couldn’t, Says Sacked Minister

“I thought he communicated in a way that perhaps Keir Starmer wasn’t able to.” Keir Starmer has a “strong legacy” but he wasn’t “able to communicate that” to the public, whereas “nobody can be in any

Yes deluded indeed
@
It didn't enthuse me
@
Deluded...especially if you think this man is going to change a damn thing.

Dumber replaces Dumb

Burnham is simply an even worse version of Starmer - we are all going to suffer terribly for another 3 years. Stay strong everyone, we can survive Labour.
@
terrifiying how long will it take for him to go to gaza and ukdrain and give them money, then hit the pensioners with cut backs
@
Burnham makes me feel physically sick as i know how much damage he's going to do to our country. He's tangled up with Hope not Hate so bad already

Scottish Socialist’s love-in.
How far have the Times’ editorial standards fallen !!!

I get the same warm feeling about Burnham as I get when my dog decided to pee up my leg 😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡
@
Enthused!?? I don't think so!
@
Definitely full of something and it wasnt passion.

"Kier Starmer leaves a very very strong legacy" 🤨
Taxes through the roof..
Benefit spending out of control..
National borders open..
Energy bills amongst the highest in the world..
Cost of living crisis..
Two tier policing and justice..
Crackdown on free speech..
Obscene amounts to Ukraine whilst our armed forces in a dire state..

Labour under Blair destroyed the working class North with unregulated mass immigration and Boris continued it.
@
The fabians have had their day. Employing hope not hate will destroy this country even more.
@
Wow this guy has a very strong sense of utter delusion.

Quick, get this man doctor! Oh wait a minute, I forgot, we're in the UK.

It's interesting to hear this perspective from someone on the inside. There is definitely a difference in how they both deliver a message to the public. Do you think Starmer's style is just too cautious, or is Burnham simply a more natural communicator? Curious to see if others agree.

Communication stats are basically zero for Starmer here. If you can't sell the quest, you aren't hitting the high score. Burnham actually sounds like he's playing on a different level. Curious if this is enough to break the current streak or just a side quest?

Hi everyone! It's interesting to hear this perspective on how communication styles can completely change how a message lands, even when the legacy is strong. Do you think the ability to connect emotionally is more important for a leader than their actual track record?
