Keir Starmer's time is up

[Rimbaud]

The Streeting line genuinely made me laugh out loud....

I wonder if there is any polling in that seat? Would be good to see if Feinstein's campaign is getting any traction.

There was one published yesterday. Feinstein was on about 5%

Spoke to someone yesterday who is leafleting for him, said the snap election has fucked the campaign a lot, they were expecting autumn and caught on the back foot, scrambling to get going, only just about up and running now.

"You'll find this funny, children!"

They wanted to hear more about his dad, who has barely been mentioned in the election campaign

Better now than the week after next

Some great expressions on those kids there.

Quality banner - is that Ed Hall's work?

His dad just cleared swarf off of lathes.

Faint praise off the Labour candidate in Stroud at the hustings, though he pitched it well considering he couldn't just call him a twat:

However, the penultimate question, ‘What makes a good leader and how do you know your party has one?’ drew laughter from some of the audience when Dr Opher responded: “I know Kier isn’t that popular, so what I would say about him is that he is effective. He has changed the Labour Party into a position where we are likely to win a large majority. That is effective.

“Now I know you don’t like him, but I would say that he’s competent and slightly on the dull spectrum perhaps. Maybe that’s what we need after the last five years.”

I don't think you'll ever be as trusted as corbyn, not even if you become the modern methuselah

 

[two sheds]

Be fair - Starmer's had consistently negative newspaper and tv coverage this election while all the papers - particularly the right wing press - loved Corbyn and kept insisting to all their readers how trustworthy he was.

 

[Dystopiary]

However, despite Labour regaining ground among low-income voters, the report warns that politicians remain deeply unpopular, with more than half of low-income voters, 57 per cent, saying that “no political party really cares about helping people like me”.

I'm surprised it's not more than that.

BTW, it doesn't say if the survey was for the whole of the UK, Britain, England and Wales, or only England. Thought it was just shit journalism but the website's not clear on that either (I'm not doing a deep-dive because I shouldn't have to, so fuck them then innit.)

Starmerism is almost upon you. How depressing.

 

[Elpenor]

Vote Labour to get the foreigns out? Is that the crux of what Starmer is saying? I am assuming not a deep fake if on ITV

unless Starmer himself is a deepfake

i'd assume the other way round

He is definitely a fake, but about as deep as a puddle.

there's no point doing a deepfake of shammer as the man will outfake anything that tories or his other political opponents might put together

Labour ‘not putting up a fight’ against Farage in Clacton

Labour officials said to be upset that Jovan Owusu-Nepaul was gaining traction for viral social media posts

www.theguardian.com

A campaign source said Labour headquarters had been angry with the traction Owusu-Nepaul was getting. “At one point [Jovan] was getting more retweets than Keir Starmer. The officials were furious with him and said he was distracting [from] Starmer’s campaign,” they said.

WTAF? That's the sort of thing paranoid dicators do. I just checked his twitter account and he seems to be pretty centrist, but he has a bit of charisma... and that is viewed as a threat by the Starmerites? Are they now at the "Stalin bumping off Yezhov" stage of the purge?
