Now now, don't confuse him with facts!

I do chuckle at thoe "proles" who that we now have a PM from a working class background, who wasn't privately educated (yes I know the school he attended went private whilst he was there), has actually had a previous career outside politics (yes I know how idiots "hate" lefty lawyers until they need one and find they can no longer afford one.) Has not made any grand promises, has adopted a non tribal, approach so far to governing, is even talking sense about prisons and appointed a guy who knows a thing or to to tackle it, isn't flashy or spouting meaningless 3 word slogans or trying to do anything but govern a ****ed up country and he complains he is "boring" and has no flashy policies!!

I mean there are several issues about Starmer and Labour which concern me, much of which (but not all) is about his leaning to far to gain the approval and votes of racists, bigots and hypocrites and big business but I am thankful we have a bunch of politicians in charge who don't come exclusively from some rich privileged background and who seem to understand that they need to have a positive impact on the lives of the ordinary voter and also explain that in reality many of the issues faced today cannot be resolved quickly and simply or by just spending more money. Its a start.
