Keir Starmer's time is up

Durham police would do us all a favour by issuing a FPN and obliging the droning beige chasm of emptiness to resign.

Would be a nice circularity, his leadership starts by being ignored by teenagers on Hartlepool seafront, and ended by Sergeant Lewis (Community beat officer, St. Helen Auckland).

Keith delivered a boring rant about how fucked off he is with his shadow cabinet members telling the press he is fucking boring

Several of those around the table then echoed their leader’s calls for unity and discretion, in a lengthy exchange described by one shadow frontbencher as “ironically very boring”.
:D
 

What's interesting about this graphic is that it does demonstrate the extraordinary level of media/pundit support that Starmer has had. In fact, more than any Labour Leader since Blair in 1994. Despite that, the public seem to have completely worked him out. Coincidental I imagine, but his fall from grace with the voters seems to have occurred since around the time of his cynical exclusion of Corbyn from the PLP at the back end of 2020.
 
I'm surprised he's not more often called Rodney. Surprised she blocks you for that though, she does make some good vids.
 
TBH boring's not a bad trait in a politician. This personal brand stuff is not the reason Labour are failing.
It's funny because they were all throwing the criticism at Jeremy Corbyn that his personal brand wasn't relatable because he had an allotment or whatever, but part of what made him popular was that he let his actual "boring" personality shine through and didn't try to be the lowest common denominator flag shagging man in a suit

criticism of Corbyn was strictly political
what make Starmer boring is he is boring politically
 
His political instincts are to outflank the Tories from the right. This doesn't make him boring, it makes him dangerous. I think he's actually going for deceptively boring as a brand.
I don't think Starmer's type of boring can be used as an asset. Boring as in serious, maybe. But Starmer is boring as in dull. He could be telling you you'd won the lottery and you'd zone out.
 
Init. Clement Attlee was boring, but he left us with an NHS and a welfare state.
Exactly the comparison I was thinking of.

You can be dull but seek to engage with people. Starmer's attempts at talking to people on the campaign trail are awful, worse than Theresa May's attempt at eating chips. Not just a dull no impact, a negative impact. And his political strategy of re-engaging working class areas is, well, what is it? I don't know, something to do with flags? Considerably worse than Ed Miliband, personally and, by a country mile, politically.
