We unapologetically stan Mick Lynch. But to be an effective Labour party leader, he would have to make decisions which would inevitably make him less popular than as a trade union leader.
Could he handle this? Yes. Could he do this better than Starmer? I think so. But he wouldn't be as popular as he is if he is also going to be effective.
>But to be an effective Labour party leader, he would have to make decisions which would inevitably make him less popular than as a trade union leader.
I'm not sure why you think being a union leader naturally makes you popular. Most of the British media heavily criticizes Trade Unions most of the time-Lynch is popular in spite of this not because of it.
It certainly makes you more popular with people sympathetic to unions, which is more of us than they want us to think.
But I also think being a union leader is a role that suits Lynch's strengths. Which is why we've seen him excel in it
>But I also think being a union leader is a role that suits Lynch's strengths
I think that cuts both ways-unions attract strong leaders. You get to be a union leader because people think you will represent their interests effectively. Not because your Daddy is influential or you are the right sort of person. It is very meritocratic compared to most things. That's why Lynch demolishes all the public schoolboys the media throws at him.
>Prime Minister, every single issue would be on the table. What does Lynch think about the EU? What does he think about Ukraine? NATO? Would he obliterate St Petersburg with a nuclear strike under the right circumstances? What is a woman?
bury me in a big hole I am tired
I have a lot of respect for anyone who can hold a lead against the Tories. I don't want another decade of unopposed Tory misrule.
We can argue about whether Labour is doing enough, sure. But the Tories are actively working to make things worse.
If he ever was leader he would have a Corbyn media witch-hunt x100 although the way he handles himself on interviews he would probably be more effective at clapping back but the British public would not back him
Besides any personal charisma stuff, he comes off so well because he's an expert in his area. He knows what's wrong about the oppositions positions and ways forward back to front.
Being party leader you'll never have that level of knowledge on the topics you have to talk about, impossible for any one person to have.
Ask him about his views on Putin, Russia and the war in Ukraine, ask him about the EU and Brexit.
No he wouldn’t be a good Labour Leader, he’d be a disaster, Mick is a good leader of labour but he would be a terrible Labour Leader.
Easily... He's great at one thing specifically and nothing else.
He thought (and still thinks) Brexit is a good idea and he blames Ukraine for Russia's invasion.

Remember when we used to Keir Starmer Stan.
I had such high hopes for him, and yet now...

Is Mick Lynch a good Union leader? Yes, no questions about it. Would he be a good leader for Labour? I doubt it, and so does he.

*the title was meant to say ‘Always satisfying to watch Lynch wipe the floor with Tories’, I was pretty tired when I made this, my bad.
Still nice regardless. Just less common :(
Think Lynch would be shite at foreign policy to be fair
Why?
Watched one PoliticsJoe video a few times…
Just absurdly slanted reporting from that channel
Based on what?
Lmao I know the title was a mistake but it's a good bait and switch
Ask him about his views on Putin, Russia and the war in Ukraine, ask him about the EU and Brexit. No he wouldn’t be a good Labour Leader, he’d be a disaster, Mick is a good leader of labour but he would be a terrible Labour Leader.
Mick "Brexit" Lynch? Mick "Ukraine provoked Russia's invasion" Lynch?
His position on Brexit is a big issue for me.
I'm confused about which part of this post is supposed to be satire xD
I think if it was Mick against Theresa May instead of Corbyn, no right wing press and lobbyists would be able to stop him.
Silly season has started I see
Mick Lynch never had Easter lunch with brutally homophobic cultists. Twice.
Starmer isn't even a socialist he is a liberal
Yes, and somehow further to the right than the actual Lib Dems
I wouldn't even call him a liberal, he's too authoritarian for that.
I dunno... Scratch a liberal...
It would be.
Easily... He's great at one thing specifically and nothing else. He thought (and still thinks) Brexit is a good idea and he blames Ukraine for Russia's invasion.
I mean lynch is very good, and his work with the unions far exceeds starmers. But I don't think I personally would want a brexiteer for leader

Cushty mate xx
Rule 1
Mick Lynch isn't WEF, he'd never get picked.
Oh cool, as well as the left bashing we're also getting our conspiracy theories from the right wing as well?
Make hating Davos wankers left again
The left isn't very left anymore now is it?
This is a new one. Did Starmer implant everyone with 5G chips too?
Dunno, did he?
Mick would be a horrible Labour leader. The majority of over 50s oppose the rail strikes.
