Must be why he always sounds like he’s on a comedown

God, he really is shit at this whole politics thing, eh.

Starmer admits he flew by private jet to clean energy jobs rally in Scotland

Labour leader says it was ‘most efficient form of transport’ from Wales and party has offset the carbon

www.theguardian.com

Nah. What he said is true and why ALL the major parties have involved private jets in GE campaigns for over 40 years...but low hanging fruit and an easy 'oh the irony'. More of a problem with the tone of the policy.... Miliband said the plan meant “Scotland will be the clean energy powerhouse of Great Britain”. Scotland is a decade down that path already. The recent split between SNP and Greens also mean its been in sharp focus....The media narrative on that up has been : Scotland been at the front of setting the trend globally, with a lot of the easier stuff implemented, some row back to keep targets credible sensible (or not, if you sided Green). Labour's tone ignores all that... will be... reads like SW1 spiel. And out of kilter, you don't have to be an SNP supporter to see it, anyone flying in from Wales would only have to look out the window.


Whole lot of stuff round Rough that could be 'debated' to if we did politics sensibly...not having Rough undoubtedly contributed to the spike in energy prices that were the at the core of inflation issues...plus its now being semi repurposed for hydrogen...
Having mentioned Strategic Reserves...WE DON'T HAVE A STRATEGIC DIESEL RESERVE ANYMORE...we have a Petrol one....given how logistics are mostly (currently) done in the UK....thats nuts , even as we transition away emergency reserves are the last thing to get rid of not the first.

With that permanently blocked nose, he's wasting his time.

Charisma black hole fails in debate. Quelle surprise.

Shame he didn't foresee the tories' lies about £2k tax rises, they've only been saying it for ages now.

You're not in any position to throw stones about a dearth of charisma or want of honesty

Dunked-in-shit must be thinking he might yet be leader again

I've realised I hate Starmer even more than I hated Blair a month before he became PM. No, scratch that, I hate him even more than I hate Blair now.

Was thinking of starting a "New New Labour - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post examples of Labour Stupidity Here" but decided it would only be confusing as to what should go where. So, along the lines of the Polish proverb of not pissing in the soup, I'll put this here instead

Labour drops lawsuit against ex-staffers accused of leaking antisemitism report

Action against five accused, including Jeremy Corbyn’s former chief of staff, estimated to have cost £1.5m

Pissing money up against the legal wall Mind you I suppose it harassed and wasted the money of the people they were suing so job done really.

Looks like Labour might take some concerns of the left seriously.

Keir Starmer expected to push for Palestinian state in Labour manifesto

Labour policy likely to irritate Israel, whose prime minister reacted angrily when Ireland, Spain and Norway officially recognised Palestine in May

www.theguardian.com

Although...

The document will... focus heavily on security, including an image of Starmer in combat uniform.

I hope you're joking because but I really can't tell anymore.

No chance at all of this promise being dropped as soon as possible after election.

If you remember this sort of policy was advocated by Miliband which led to articles like this...

Jews against Miliband

When he was seven, Ed Miliband was taken to visit his grandmother in Tel Aviv. Pointing to a black-and-white photograph in her home, young Ed demanded to know who ‘that man in the picture’ was. He was told the man, David, was his grandfather and had died in Poland many years before he was born.

www.spectator.co.uk

Then Corbyn continued it which led to, well, a lot of it - notice the guy who went after Miliband for losing Jews is Stephen Pollard of the Jewish Chronicle, Mail etc.

Then Starmer dropped it until now because he was serious about rooting out antisemitism and knew keeping this policy would lead to the same attacks that both his predecessors experienced.

You've got to think he's only doing this now because he's realised how much his pro-Israel stance has utterly fucked it with the Muslim community, so the day after the IDF murder kids at a school he announces what's basically David Cameron's Foreign Minister policy on Palestine.

I expect it not to work with the left he's targeting and to make Pollard, the CAA and some of his own party candidates lose their fucking minds at him.

Because he's a fucking wet wipe cunt.

Commitment to keep kid starving (2 child benefit cap) definitely in the Labour manifesto according to the FT

also
"Labour, which has previously opposed the use of compulsory identity cards in elections, will also confirm in the manifesto that it will not overturn the policy. "

ETA: I wouldnt be surprised if next government they move again to introduce compulsory ID cards

The Tory policies you voted for last time but delivered more effectively and competently is the manifesto theme

Efficiently and competently ensure that no families with more than two children escape that benefit cap

Oh and the recognise Palestine thing is pure bullshit, check the lawyers small print on that one

Labour now promising to lock more people up. 20,000 more prison places.
