Keir Starmer

Yes, let’s facilitate a thought shower on the critical success factors, and run the preferred stakeholder outcomes up the mast to see who salutes.

You would’ve went to the very top in the Clydesdale Bank in the 90s. You’re bringing it to the table in a proactive way

“Bell cow” is new to me also.

But I can write a 400-word dummy press release liberally strewn with 1990s business speak à la Grampian Enterprise of that time, or of Scottish Government ministers and their SPADs to this day.

About ten minutes of my time should do it.

Going forward, of course.

… going backwards, did you ever “touch base” or get a “heads up” while going for a “quick win” though, in your journalistic career; and when you were ready, were you ever “good to go”?

[InversneckieDob]

I’m starting to get this geriatric parlance, I think … me, the bell cow, I’m told, out in front, reading the Daily Mail as I lead, with the bell end, who calls folk cu nuts, following, reading the Guardian and munching on salad leaves as he stares at my dirty muck-crusted rear. I must check this for factual accuracy with Jorge Mario Bergoglio though.

No........not a clue.

I found myself running out of breath reading the first sentence.

Maybe the Vatican can clarify.

Another trait (or trop?) that I lay at the door of the Major Government.
Post "Agency status" it seemed like a number of senior roles were filled by people who felt it mandatory to sound like Gus from "Drop the dead donkey".

It tied in with the need for local enterprise “companies” to be seen to be “doing something” to “facilitate organisational and cultural change leading to positive, measurable outcomes” from funding allocated by a rotating cabal of professional committee sitters whose knowledge of anatomy vis-a-vis ârse and elbow left much to be desired.

I managed to screw £48k/annum for funding of the public educational project in which I was involved at the time, and we honestly accounted for the use of the funds. The evaluation criteria and methodology adopted by the Tory twâts though, that I had to complete, was at best junior primary school level. Fûcking amateurs.

Now, many of those drones are chairing educational or local economic boards trousering generous “expenses”, or are in private “consultancy” using what are still public resources. It would have been easy to join them, but it was far more fulfilling to take the p1ss out of them, often in public forums without them even realising.

And that’s fit I think.

[InversneckieDob]

Ahh.....measurable outcomes......I well remember measurable outcomes.

[DonUnder]

That’s the kind of blue sky thinking that’s missing round here. I’d definitely have to liaise with my colleagues in a buzz meeting before even attempting it

(I worked in a bank in the 90s)

Was that in Helensburgh?

What were Marti Pellow's deposits and withdrawls like then?

… the first early symptom was that he started losing the ability to spell the antepenultimate words in his sentences, then he started shaking and sh I ting his breeks.

I like the cut of his jib, Makes Labour Electable Again.

Give Starmer his due, the Dons haven't lost a match since he became Prime Minister.

He’s seemingly inherited a bit of a financial mire though (in the context of the impending budget/the weather getting colder/the associated decisions) whereas Yimmy’s making the best of what he has and, on the contrary, if anything, has been praiseworthy of the Group that he’s succeeded to. Didn’t Starmer know what he was getting into prior to the pre-election rhetoric!?

[TheDeeDon]

Being investigated due to clothes being bought for his wife by a Labour donor not being declared.

Whilst I am sure Starmer isn't quite in the super rich bracket. I'm also quite sure he's not looking out for 'whoops' stickers at his local Asda and really doesn't need anyone buying clothes for his Wife. Unless the donor is donating something else to Starmers wife in return.

Private Eye has reported for years about Starmer and his love of a freebie. Holiday homes, sporting and entertainment events are his speciality.

I know they all do it and have done for years, but an outright ban on this sort of shyte would be best.

Even worse when they are telling pensioners there is no money for heating support.

No wonder these islands are f*cked.
