Keir Starmer's time is up

[Pickman's model]

i thought that he might be quite competent and efficient in the style of tony blair - a right wing shit with some ability. that he would be a great difference to johnson. but he's starting to look more weak and wobbly than strong and stable.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Of course he picked BrewDog.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Still wearing a tie. As a Normal Member Of The Public I think I would identify with his down to earth normalness a little bit more if he took it off like that nice Dave bloke.

 

[William of Walworth]

down to earth boringness

Corrected for you

Other than picking Brewdog as an example (how many other, better breweries could he have choosen from? ), what he said in that soundbite was harmless, inoffensive stuff.

But dull as ditchwater ......

 

[mauvais]

(how many other, better breweries could he have choosen from? )

Any?

 

[William of Walworth]

Any?

That was my point more or less!

TBF, I could easily have been just as pissed off if he'd visited one of those 'brewed under licence' factories such as Carlsberg or similar ...

 

[The39thStep]

Of course he picked BrewDog.

Looks like an aspiring new area manager for the brewery that has just realised there might be a bonus this month

 

[mauvais]

That was my point more or less!

Ah, OK.

TBF, I could easily have been just as pissed off if he'd visited one of those 'brewed under licence' factories such as Carlsberg or similar ...

See - and it doesn't really matter because I think the man is a useless twat regardless - I would think it much more fitting if he went and toured AB InBev HQ or something, because that's exactly what we expect from these corporatist people. That someone actually thought it would be better to not do that and then picked Brewdog, for reasons, is much more insulting.

Absolutely agree, but it would have been a piece of piss to pick a fairly harmless medium sized decent brewery that's independent, has better-than-OK beer, which isn't as pricey as Brewdog's ....

Wadsworth, Adnams, St. Austell, Butcombe, Wye Valley, etc. - just to mention a few nice examples, just Southern English ones** -- from quite a long list. (Even better breweries to pick from in the North, but I'll spare you )

**Definitely not Greene King though!!

 

[Raheem]

Of course he picked BrewDog.

What that video doesn't have is the standard thing of a politician drinking the top half-inch of a pint of bitter to barrage of camera flashes, as if they were performing a magic trick. Somehow doesn't feel complete without it.

 

[killer b]

They chose brewdog because of the Barnard Castle Eye test beer didn't they.

 

[scifisam]

I was about to say that they also made hand sanitiser for free, but so did Adnam's. I guess they're not as hip.

 

[The39thStep]

Rather go for a pint with Ken Clarke than him , at least Ken would buy a round

 

[Spandex]

Is Keir Starmer really J.R. "Bob" Dodds?

Is he an entryist for the Church of the SubGenius? This question needs urgent enquires...

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Keir Starmer has welcomed an endorsement from former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, suggesting it is a sign "that people are beginning to notice that the Labour party has changed".

Yep racist twats like him are just who Labour want to appeal to.

Awesome. Attracting praise from the sort of person who says the sort of things Clarkson says. Forensic and electable, yay

 

[DJWrongspeed]

I voted for Starmer. I don't think he has covered himself in glory over the past few seconds and was virtually absent on the Coronavirus debate. This has possibly cost a lot of anti-Coronavirus votes. His time is up. He should go. Give the party time to elect a leader and sort themselves out before the next election.

Can we rename this thread because Starmer ain't going anywhere?

 

[Raheem]

Works with or without sarcasm.

 

[ska invita]

yawn

Labour set to apologise to antisemitism whistleblowers

Even though I gave up on Starmer months ago this is a shocker. The members' money being tossed away here is an outrage.

Of course that doesn't matter now as I'm sure the new business friendly Labour Party will be awash with corporate donations by 2024.

'Hostility to Corbyn's leadership hampered smooth running of complaints procedures.'

That's one way of putting it I suppose.

Is he taking the mace?

To spend more time with his property portfolio?

 

[Badgers]

Has he awoke?

 

[Shechemite]

Labour the party of national security. They could win on that

 

[Shechemite]

Der Starmer

 

[SpookyFrank]

Has he awoke?

Only when his ego was threatened.

 

[Badgers]

Labour the party of national security. They could win on that

Nobody wins anymore, they just fail with less fuss.
