Keir Starmer

[TheDeeDon]

Aye who would have foreseen their years of attacking the Tories for cronyism and abusing their privileges opening them up to the exact same scrutiny? FFS they know it’s worse for them as well being up against a majorly right wing press.

Like you I’m dumbfounded about the optics of well almost everything they’ve done so far.

They are not dumb but naive I feel is giving them too much credit. They just can’t help themselves.

And DeeDon makes a very good point - what’s this bugger Lord Alli getting out of it?

I despise the Tories but feck me we’re going to have to hope they get their house in order to hold this lot to account. Bloody hell can’t believe I’m writing that.

If we are relying on Tories to hold anyone to account, then we're more f*cked than ever.

All roads lead back to them for starting all this sort of shyte in the first place.

Jesus aye, completely unintentional. Nothing to do with his ***uality.
Meant in contemptible sense but wouldn't have used it at all had I twigged.

No disparagement intended, well at least not in that sense...

Relax B. I got a laugh when I read it.

Where I work they are still deemed as the 'commie party'.

I sh*t you not.

You hear 'Muricans referring to the Democrats as "Marxists" and "Socialists".
Beggars belief.

Well...., a good proportion of them think Donald Trump is a great fit for president.

Most Americans don't know sh1t.

Rules…WYOWYN? etc

Rules…WYOWYN? etc

Not wanting to sound like a s*xist pig, but compared to Starmer's wife, she's nae all that.

What's with all the rumours about him having a big secret?

Has threesomes with Judy Murray and Nicola Sturgeon.

He's paid back £6k of freebies, including Taylor Swift tickets.

In other news, Lord Alli, who gives most of the clothes, glasses and homes to Starmer. Is being investigated by parliament for not fully declaring his interests.

You get the feeling that Starmer is going to be hounded from office, as previous government aside, I've never seen a newly elected PM get this level of scrutiny from the press.

[InversneckieDob]

I really dinna think he's up to dealing with it.
His PR machine seems woefully lacking.
I think the attack dogs in the MSM have been waiting for this, basically since their crony and alpha dog was "mercilessly hounded from office" for no greater crime than being an incompetent, self-serving grifter who lied every time he drew breath.

I can think of fewer than a score of politicians in my 50+ years of interest that I’d trust, or meet for a pint.

Of course we the enfranchised, are ballot box fodder, fed only what spin doctors and largely malicious media manipulators want us to hear, be that positive or negative.

I still recall a short-lived fictional serial some time ago - probably 40 years back - with Fulton Mackay as a cynical, hard-bitten newspaper editor “inducting” a keen, idealistic cub reporter in the 1930s (?) with the terse phrase, “All our readers are interested in is kissing and fighting”. I believe that still continues, it’s merely the sources and delivery mechanisms that have “improved”.

Now he's given away one of our colonies. He really is a muppet.
