Keir Starmer's time is up

[ruffneck23]

They are not impressed with him:

The kids are alright...

 

[Elpenor]

So far today he’s proved he hates:

Children not going hungry
Clean air for Londoners
Teachers getting a pay rise

 

[Karl Masks]

Starmer would fall into a tub of tits and come up sucking Peter Mandelson's thumb

Loves banks though

Uxbridge by-election: Keir Starmer won't say whether he backs ULEZ expansion​

Sir Keir Starmer has refused to take a side in a by-election dispute over whether to expand London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Under plans from Labour mayor Sadiq Khan, the clean-air zone is set to become three times bigger from 29 August. But Labour's candidate in this month's Uxbridge by-election, Danny Beales, wants the expansion halted. In a BBC interview, the Labour leader declined to say which view he backed.

Don't despair...it's Thangam!

The most incredible thing about that question is there might be someone out there who thinks deportation to Rwanda might actually have started come the next election.

“Don’t drown them out”

I didn’t hear anyone?

He has obviously adopted the pronouns they/them

“Don’t drown them out”

No, obviously they weren't actually drowning anyone out, he was just trying to shame them for daring to interrupt. Because when you've got no argument, resort to shaming your adversary. It is 2023 after all, and he has viral clips to consider.

Twitter, for all its faults, I think has it right this time....

Mr Miliband is said to have told his colleagues of the hope and change his policies would bring, receiving only a lukewarm reception from Sir Keir.

Sir Keir “thanked him for his presentation but said he wasn’t interested in hope and change”, according to a source.

The source told The Sunday Times: “He was more interested in creating sustainable new jobs to replace jobs in old sectors that were being lost. He then said he was not interested in tree huggers, before adding to everyone’s surprise, ‘In fact, I hate tree huggers’.”

‘I hate tree huggers’: How Starmer apparently exploded over Labour’s green policy

The Labour leader’s outburst followed a presentation from climate and net zero spokesman Ed Miliband

Whether the quote is accurate or not, I wonder how long Miliband can survive within the revisionist Starmer clique? Will Starmer keep him on as a toothless mascot or will he be purged as the next phase of the revisionist Starmer clique's rightwing agenda?

Or to nobody's surprise perhaps?

Not Starmer exactly. but I found this quite amusing.

False hope is even worse than no hope. Labour won’t make promises it can’t keep | Wes Streeting

Tory mismanagement of public finances will make the party’s task difficult if it wins power, and that is why we won’t pledge what we can’t deliver on, writes shadow health secretary Wes Streeting

www.theguardian.com

As Britain’s progressive party, Labour is where people turn when they believe things can get better.

Delusional.

Things can only get better

Who needs hope and change anyway? I mean it's all going really well right now...

Labour must be bolder, says union leader Sharon Graham​

Labour needs to be "bolder" and "more ambitious", rather than "tinkering around the edges", the head of the UK's second largest union has told the BBC. Unite leader Sharon Graham warned that otherwise "apathy" would be the winner at the next general election.

 

[two sheds]

I'm not sure Starmer can be bolder though, since that would be admitting that Corbyn had some good policies, and invite headlines like "Starmer follows Corbyn's lead".

 

[Puddy_Tat]

otherwise "apathy" would be the winner at the next general election.

I'm not sure i can be bothered to vote for them...

Labour must be bolder, says union leader Sharon Graham​

Why is she pretending to be deluded?

 

[Rob Ray]

Well she also has her own base to be thinking about.

So should Sharon Graham

Meanwhile he has started writing his own jokes according to this lightweight analysis from Kuenssberg:

Laura Kuenssberg: What could go wrong for Keir Starmer?

The Labour leader is quietly preparing for power but he can't take anything for granted - here's why.

www.bbc.co.uk

Sir Keir Starmer, publicly, is not exactly known for cracking gags.

His early performances at PMQs were not full of levity, one columnist joked back then that even a smile was a collector's item.

But now, more than three years into the job, after many months ahead in the polls, one of Sir Keir's confidants tells me he is coming up with more of his own jokes.

"He wouldn't accept 'I can't do humour", they tell me, and now will increasingly suggest wisecracks rather than rely on others' lines.

It is a small, but revealing change in what insiders describe as his strict political regime, a sign of his growing ease, and "fiercely competitive" nature, a refusal ever to accept that he can't do things to get better at the job.

Ah damn I've run out of rolleyes, hang on I'm going to have to go down the shop.

[SpookyFrank]

Starmer's not going to spend any money, just 'create wealth' ie. accelerate the strip-mining of national resources and working folk's pockets so a few rich cunts can get a bit richer. No hope for the disintegrating public sector, either for those working in it or those dependent on it, which is everyone.

It's all so fucking depressing.

 

[Elpenor]

No spending, but reform and create wealth. That’s the Tory manifesto surely?

Sounds a lot like privatisation to me. Can’t he just tax the rich cunts to death
