Keir Starmer’s first foreign policy act will be sending gunboats up the Potomac to shell Washington

Grant Shapps, on Today the other day, said "Keir Starmer twice tried to get Keir Starmer elected". Luckily Sebastian Fox and Corrine Stockheath were there to correct him on getting names wrong.

He's like an angry Keir Starmer.

So he enthusiastically pushed for higher charges for people during the riots, repeatedly pushing for "one up" for higher charges, even people with no previous record who were caught up in the protests for "really minor offences". He weaseled out at 1:20 saying "the prosecutor doesn't decide on...

To be fair Oliver Eagletons book on Starmer covered this quite well

Interesting indeed. I’m not sure what to think of this guy. Lawful good? Or a hidden agenda? When he gets into power which I’m sure he will I expect something radical. For good or for worse, this guy has something up his sleeves. But as everyone agrees, what the fuxk is that? The unknown…

...And let's remember that on Covid BORIS FUCKING JOHNSON WAS MORE WILLING TO ACT AND LESS WILLING TO DEFY THE UNION SAFETY CONCERNS THAN KEIR STARMER. How are these people going to deal with the climate crisis? With mass climate refugees? With future pandemics? With other unpredictable crises...

The archived Times story I linked to last night about some Reform candidates 'views', mentioned Frederick Chedham, not a candidate, but the party's national security spokesman. The Times had evidently tried contacting the people it named on Monday. By a remarkable coincidence Chedham published...

This is all floating around the idea that people really want Keir Starmer as PM isn't it. I fully expect him to be elected but he's clearly not what most people want as PM is he. Funnily enough the person who comes to mind most around that stuff is Jacob Rees-Mogg - he absolutely loves banging...

...with £14.5m from companies and individuals – a huge increase on the previous year, and indeed more than in the three previous years of Keir Starmer’s leadership combined. As trade union contributions have dipped slightly, from around £6.9m in 2020 and 2021 to £5.3m in 2022, donations from...
