Wow, how about "would be a great Prime Minister"?!

Will unfollow if you can't come a bit better than this

Tribune stalking horse... 😱 #GottaBe

grow up

He's an idiot who wants racist migration policy, so no he wouldn't he'd just be the same as they have now

You're not kidding. McSweeney will still be working in the shadows. Likely Mandy too. Dark Lords and Princes don't fade away - they simply "shapeshift" into a new form, like a Time Lord 👴 💨 👨

Why are you making shit up to promote this sociopath?

Why? What are you getting out of this? Because no one in Labour is going to vote for this guy. He’ll be lucky to score Liz Kendall numbers.

Being an ex marine is nothing as we see TRAITOR NAZI EX MARINES SUPPORTING TRUMP XENOPHOBIC RACISM IN USA! TELL US IF CARNS IS AN 'ANTI-NAZI', 'ANTI-XENOPHOBIC', 'ANTI-HATE SPEECHER IMMIGRANT LOVER OR NOT' AS WE DON'T NEED MORE TOXIC XENOPHOBIC GARBAGE IN OUR ISLAND WHO TRY TO MAKE IT SINK IN SHAME!

He’s always had his eyes on higher positions than his veterans role, which is said to be why he’s rocking so few boats in that role (boats that need rocking btw), disappointingly so.

So Labour is now fighting for the second place?

He did make a very good video rebuking Trump after he claimed that only US soldiers were on the front line in Afghanistan. You don't reach the rank he did without being able to communicate well - and indeed being able to run things.

Pathetic nonsense. The Grauniad has followed other once serious and respected newspapers by becoming no better than a children’s comic.

I can’t help feeling there is an element here of “everyone we would support who people have heard of, they hate, so we need to find someone they don’t hate”.

From a knight to a general. Yep - that’ll have all those Labour-turned-Green voters flooding back. How could they resist?

It's fascinating just how bad the Guardian's political instincts are, as a newspaper.

I’m begging you

Sounds like a moron who's right wing, so how is he different to what they have now?

Not a single person in this country would vote for him. It’s a fantasy dreamed up by reactionaries. He’s even worse than wet flannel Starmer

We don't want warmongers thanks

I'm not sure I like the look of this Dan Jarvis any more than I did the last one. Also, it's not that quiet is it - the papers have mentioned him a bunch of times.

John Kerry eh? Guardian writers stealing a living.

This is a bit pathetic right now.

Farage read this and says I give Sir Keir my full support

Gav Williamson's former number 2. He can tell the Labour left to "Go Away And Shut Up".

Who?

Alistair Carns isn't very bright, then? I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to take away from this tripe.

Dis yer heid zip up the back? 🤔

Ah, you're looking for a govt press release.

So he killed people, but we have no idea what he stands for. And that's the best you can do. Good *grief*.

Another right-wing lunatic? He wouldn't by any chance be closely linked to any pedophile rings by any chance, would he?

2PADDY2ASHDOWN

Exactly, no one wants yet another right-wing lunatic pretending to be a progressive.

Seeing as most of them were hand-picked by Mandelson or friends of Mandelson, there's a pretty shallow bench.

if a man in uniform is what you need, then surely Dan Jarvis is a better fit. Say what you will about him (and I have) but at least he has been MP since 2011, with a stint as South Yorkshire Mayor too.

lols .. its not the conservatives labour have to beat ... its reform and now the greens

To be clear that’s not to presume he won’t be a disappointment. He will be. We just don’t know it yet.

He’s a nightmare for any of us to the left of Genghis Khan. He’s a total reactionary!!!!

Oh please. Give it a rest

He’s a right wing bigot. Nobody wants this random guy

Neoliberalism is dying begore our eyes; it killed the Tories and now it is killing Labour. The mass media still hold them up as the two political giants, even as people turn their back to the establishment. It would be comedic if it wasn't so pitiful.

Guardian…your constant propaganda against our current Government which is playing into the hands of fascist Parties in total contrast to your Manchester roots means I will be cancelling my financial support for you. It will go to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social instead.

Stop trying to make Al Carns happen

Lessons have not been learned.

Of course the Guardian would support someone like this. This is why no one buys your shitty paper anymore - its just the Daily Mail with more spelling errors.

A wounded Starmer without the RW prop of McSweeney might hopefully see a change in direction. Heres hoping
