Keir Starmer's time is up

[Leighsw2]

This is the most depressing politics in my lifetime. I turned 60 four weeks ago.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Neither of the two big parties seem to have any big ideas how to invest in Britain. Not that this U-turn is going to change anything the current government have an endless list of them themselves.

I'm sure they could figure it out, if they weren't both funded by the kind of carpetbaggers and asset-strippers who do so well out of perpetual austerity.

Okay, I'll give starmer 1 point for this:

Rosie Duffield is still a Labour MP. He doesn't give a shit.

 

[two sheds]

Yep gravy train for them means austerity for the rest of us.

I love how amused the policeman is by it.

but surely he's going to run out of u-turns soon and have to start u-turning on his u-turns

I would like to think that one way or another this could be a major embarrassment for Starmer:

Have you noticed his favourite word is 'absolutely'?

I would like to think that one way or another this could be a major embarrassment for Starmer:

Son of Holocaust survivors, anti-Apartheid campaigner, former ANC MP who resigned on principle over shady arms deals.

Perfect choice. Hopefully other pro-Palestinian candidates will step aside. We need to have just one.

This from wiki:

Feinstein introduced the first ever motion on the Holocaust in South African parliamentary history. Feinstein stated that previous suffering – by Afrikaners at the hands of the British colonizers, or of Jews by the Nazis – in no way justified the brutal oppression of Black South Africans or Palestinians.[4][6][2]

 

[PTK]

When the public persona was peeled back
When Starmer’s inner core laid bare
No-one was much surprised
That there was not anything there

 

[PTK]

With no real substance at all
He failed each and every test
He was only a Labour Leader
But far, far worse than the rest

 

[Rob Ray]

Like the captain of a submersible Starm,
Sank his vessel to depths that must surely alarm
Where bureaucrats gather to blather and jeer
In muck too opaque to yield any ideas
No strategy this as he wallows in quo
Throwing chum to the sharks of the filth down below
No matter how wildly he spins it is clear
Nothing good can be borne on the ship of Sir Keir

[PTK]

There was once a man called Sir Keir
Whose policies they were never clear
His climate change pledge
He threw under a hedge
Which will cost the environment dear

As well as being the man who ushers in the next phase of neo-liberalism, who chooses this moment to abandon green targets, who actively destroys the left and all the rest - he's fucking dull and wooden. He's an incompetent politician who can't meet a member of the public without shitting his pants or looking like he's going to cry. He's the office manager who everyone hates, who bullies you as only a tedious fuck can. He's that rare combination of some kind of Pooterish prat who you'd avoid in the pub and a malicious supervillain. I earnestly wished Johnson would die of Covid and with Kieth, well, just wish he's un-exist. A modern day beige Ramsay MacDonald who makes John Major look like a racy raconteur, a shit stripe on the body politic, a boring gremlin, a fart in a sleeping bag. And every one in his party who chooses to follow his nasty machinations doesn't give a flying fuck about what they are doing to people's lives and to the country. Should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Well said!

Should a Labour government soon be elected
The rule of capital will be unaffected
The interests of the big bourgeoisie
Is the one thing it will guarantee

 

[PTK]

Starmer, Starmer, glowing greyly
In the bourgeois media daily
Pours cold water on the very fire
That injustice does inspire
In the breasts of young and old
Who want to break the Tory mould

Starmer, Starmer, behind the times
Endorses Gaza Strip war crimes
Two child limit will maintain
Allow bankers bonuses to gain
Free speech in his party bans
Scraps remaining left-wing plans

I rather feel he's hung himself out to dry:

You are quite right LBJ the shock to the balance sheet was a known 6 months ago, and figures if anything have been revised upwards

 

[Funky_monks]

Well, I suppose at least the fact that Labour don't have a cat in hell's chance in my local constituency means I won't have to hold my nose and vote for the twats.

On the flipside of the coin, Tories seem not to understand I mean "literally anybody" when I say that anybody would be better than them.
Looks like it'll be the greens for me.
