Watching the debate last night turn to independence for scotland i was struck by Starmer walking on eggshells. He's clearly too decent a human being to start with the English nationalism pish worryingly being courted by nandy at the moment..... but too switched on to be honest about Scotland and federalism or he would get shredded by the union lovers in his party.

He ended up looking really uncomfortable.

I agree he looked uncomfortable but he's looked like that in a few of the hustings. He's looked nervous and jittery, he just needs to relax and be himself otherwise he will be like Ed in 2015 when he sort of pretended to be someone he wasn't. If Ed had been himself with his wit and his sense of humour he would have done well in 2015 and might have won.

Lisa Nandy impressed me but haven't got a clue who to vote for. It will probably be between Starmer and Nandy and probably Rayner for Deputy.
