Keir Starmer's time is up

[Wilf]

Good catch.

I guess some PR wonk has decided it projects an image of him being both hard working as well as human and relatable - grabbing a coffee to go early in the morning on the way to work.

Yeah, it sort of catches both the sort of thing you'd do on route to a business meeting and also the seafront/with friends/'I'm normal' thing. In reality it ends up being a prop for his non-engagement with the voters, just as his pint holding is with everyday blokery.

Anyway, could be worse...

A joke about Arsenal.

Level up, you cant even fill up.

A career in standup doesnt beckon.

I'm looking forward to this bit..

Fourthly, I shall tell you again what you know. Because you are from the people, because you are of the people, because you live with the same realities as everybody else lives with, implausible promises don’t win victories. I’ll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far-fetched resolutions. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, mis-placed, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end up in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council hiring taxis to scuttle round a city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers.

not much content

What the fuck is it with him always holding a coffee in these publicity shots? I've seen it several times now.

PR whatthefuckery aside, it's not a great look environmentally.

You can’t be going around with an empty hand, looks bad and only worsened by being stuck in a pocket. I’ll bet you sixpence it’s a recyclable cup with a wanky slogan somewhere.

Even managed to do an injustice to Johnson by taking a Johnson UN quote totally out of context.

Some sporadic heckling.

Some sporadic heckling.

Not enough.

 

[brogdale]

Ah, the dealing with the hecklers line.

 

[elbows]

Not enough.

Doesnt take much to put him off though, judging by the opening minutes.

Slow and steady decline is a strange choice of words.

 

[brogdale]

Here we go...back story time.

 

[elbows]

Today I want to tell you where my passions were born, and where they died.

along with the 'fireside chat' voice modulation for the back story

At least he didnt combine the death penalty award bit with another football joke.

 

[brogdale]

Bit of a shitshow...

[Shechemite]

Why does anyone waste their time with this? Entertaining to watch I guess

 

[ruffneck23]

A young radical was he ?

 

[Shechemite]

One more push and we’ll get the party back, then lose it again, then maybe get it back again

Justice was about seeing Ron and putting him right.

I should be working to be fair

Explaining what words mean now. Thanks kier

Rhetoric from Labour people about being the first in their family to go to university still stings given the imposition of tuition fees. A window of opportunity nailed shut.

 

[brogdale]

The strategy was clearly to silence the room early on with the extended self-regarding back story in hushed tones and associated tales of misery.
