Keir Starmer's time is up

[Jeff Robinson]

The US has ‘the squad’ and now so does the UK. Infinite iron fist salute to these glorious comrades! Down with Starmerism!

John Rentoul is an absolute hack.

He's just made his first big mistake He was doing all right up until then.

 

[Humberto]

I've no idea about this guy's politics tbh.

 

[Humberto]

Doesn't mind police impunity for rape though.

Doesn't Chakrabarti work for Starmer? Maybe she should have a chat with him about undercover filth because his hands are far from clean.

This bit is interesting/amusing

I assume the timing of the by-election, which by convention is in the hands of the party that held the seat, is being chosen so that a defeat can be “lost” in the profusion of elections all over the country

No idea if it's actually true though, it might just be more practical to have a by-election on a day when the other elections are going on already...

2019 manifesto round his neck = still blaming Corbyn for Labour and Starmer's shit performance.

ETA Radiating competence is a very long way from being able to inspire anyone...

[Pickman's model]

Tub of Brylcream?

Tub has only been in parliament a few years but the constituency of brylcream has never been so well represented

 

[Elohim]

I see you're on first name

Keir is not my favourite person but at moment I can't see who else could actually fight for leadership. Maybe a new working class party is overdue.

The Rt. Hon. Tub of Lard MP

Stood down as an MP at the 1997 election and is now the Rt Hon Baron Tub of Lard, I believe...

Lost, lost, lost, lost, Blair, Blair, Blair, lost, lost, deliberately lost, deliberately lost

Campbell’s point would have been more powerful had he had the historical wherewithal to add in how the previous two (post-war and Wilson) periods of Labour in Government had come about. I’d also be interested in her response by the way.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

Forgot to add the next election: LOST

All this is getting a bit tough for Johnson. Seems like he's having to do the opposition himself, and Starmer's still taking the salary.

it passed beyond the point of parody some time a few months back, when johnson told starmer that marcus rashford was doing a better job of pointing out the government's shitness than the leader of the opposition was...
