Keir Starmer's time is up

Sounds more like a hijacker than Moses.

Anyway, Moses has been done.

Keir Starmer apologises for hurt caused by visit to Jesus House church - LabourList

Keir Starmer has apologised for the “hurt” caused by his visit last week to a London church, Jesus…

[two sheds]

Apologies aren't enough for labour leaders though, as we've learned, permanently labelled a homophobe

and will probably, by making this apology, manage to piss off the religious fundamental types as well...

 

[two sheds]

yeh "sorry about the visit to the weirdoes people, it was a mistake "

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'm no longer willing to believe that Starmer is being useless by mistake. It has to be deliberate. Even a man choosing all his actions based on reading chicken entrails or rolling d&d dice would have got something right by now.

An electable homophobe though. Just like Boris 'bum boys' Johnson.

Know somebody who got in a bit of trouble coz he tried to sell it on ebay as a joke. Except there are serious collectors of political memorabilia who really wanted it and it turned out he lives less than 10 miles from the stone yard that made the thing and they thought it was genuine, plus he was working at The Sun at the time and it was absolutely nothing to with work. Ended deleting his ebay account

 

[Gadget88]

Yep he isn’t opposing passports so yes his time is up

 

[Humberto]

It's not though

 

[Humberto]

Since when was it considered wise to not change anything and just acquiesce? If shit isn't working, change it. Selling out and admitting defeat is unconscionable. Astonishingly bad leader.

But the Government has moved on vaccine passports. Putting it in the hands of Weatherspoon bouncers died on its arse. and recent testing acceptance a sop to thems not vaccinated. Holidays and festies is sort of understandable and I think we'll see illegal scene kicking it into gear in summer anyway

One Abysmal Year of Keir

A full year since Labour returned to the mean and elected a man in a nice suit. Looking back at the occasion , this blog met Keir Starmer'...

averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com

Do you agree with the contention of the author that?

It is an effect of class recomposition, which expresses itself long age lines. By way of a quick explainer, since the expansion of the state after the war growing numbers of workers have been drawn into employment whose object is not the production of surplus value, and therefore profit, but the reproduction of the social relationships, institutions, and technologies of population management advanced capitalist societies depend on. Following the arguments of Italian post-Marxism, the character of their labour is immaterial. Their concern is the production of relationships, of data and knowledge, of care and socialisation processes.

And the the LP should organise on the basis of this class recomposition?

Guardian announcing Hartlepool election will be lost this morning. Starmer will have nowhere to hide.

The hands of the leadership all over it.

Labour’s selection in Hartlepool is a familiar story – with a new risky context

Managing selections is not new behaviour, but doing so in a way that maximises political danger is.

Guardian announcing Hartlepool election will be lost this morning. Starmer will have nowhere to hide.

The election was lost a long time ago. Political commentators John Torode and Greg Wallace said the Labour campaign was saccharin and half-baked, the presentation was appalling and the whole thing left a sickly taste in the mouth

Toynbee getting the excuses in early at the groan.

he is polishing the party’s armour for when politics properly resumes

lol

This sounds like I'm making it up but I genuinely dreamed about Sir Starmer last night: he was a headmaster and leading a desperate school assembly (taking place outdoors on a cold grey misty field) with his shit content after shit content falling flat and losing the school audience who were slowly drifting away in disinterest. It finished with him attempting to get the last few kids marching on the spot, but no one was really doing it properly.

Im a bit disturbed he's got into my subconscious

If he lost Hartlepool he probably would be fucked, but don't think New Statesman is saying that. Personally think how the Holyrood elections go is the important one. SNP will win, but how Labour does, particularly in relation to the Tories thats a thing


eta ooops Just seen the Suravtion poll

I'm with Torode and Wallace, he's made his own cake and now he's got to eat it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and so on

You could probably do a whole very bitter version of dayenu about his achievements - "no, really, it would have been quite fucking enough".

I dreamed I saw Sir Starmer last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Keith, you're ten years dead"
"It's understandable that you might think that, but I am in fact still a living person, and a very forensic one at that" said he...

After 40 days in the wilderness starmer wakes up to find his party's deserted him
