Keir Starmer's time is up

[andysays]

Starmer has taken a lot of criticism here, most of it deserved, but that's all about to change

Keir Starmer advice to Gareth Southgate: Win!​

The new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has just one word of advice to the England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 semi final against the Netherlands: “Win!”

The man is clearly a tactical genuis

he could at least have said he only needs 33.7% possession or summat

Purge Trippier, Foden and Rice....oh and as Saka can also play on the left wing, deselect him too

Make Paul Mason happy. Turn up without a left winger for defence at all.

Withhold water and power from the Netherlands team for the duration of the match

Withhold water and power from the Netherlands team for the duration of the match

Typical englund tactics, limit/stitch the opposition to gain unfair advantage/chance

do we know whether the 1997 to 2019 graphs are going up or down?

So dropping steadily until up in 2017, up again in 2019 there's a surprise

The main reason she was unable to say that she voted to support a ceasefire was that she didn't vote to support a ceasefire.

Ah yes the true victim of the Gaza genocide is a Labour MP, perfect absolutely no notes from me.

Shit like this is why you got fucking rekt Thangnam. Like literally this self pitying and completely unearned arrogance is why people didn't like you as their MP.

 

[Dystopiary]

The39thStep - Really interesting to see that in those graphs, thanks. They want to be the party of business, so they can't expect support from the workers. (They really should change their name.) Plus they've vowed to make like tougher for benefit claimants. People are hearing them, and seeing how they've treated the Palestinians of course.

what fucking twat has reported her?

Dawn Butler apparently reported to police for celebrating ‘melanin’ in Labour government

MP says she ‘won’t be silenced’ after posting on social media to celebrate ethnic diversity of her Westminster cohort

The real victims of Gaza aren't the tens of thousands that have been killed, it has been failed Labour candidates complaining that there wasn't a 'narrative'. It is terrible how that slaughter of women, children and men has got in the way of things like the election in the UK and the Eurovision Song contest.

Starmer's really keen on that presidential thing of having your wife standing next to you for photo ops, isn't he? Blair was big on that as well.

There she is getting on a plane to a NATO summit. Why? Who is she? What the fuck does it have to do with her?

I quite liked the bit were she stopped her mum seeing a stop the war billboard dripping with blood in her ex constituency by shouting, ' look, a squirrel 'and it worked' she laughed .

Reckon Newman is probably inclined to cut Debbonaire some slack. Why? Well...



Fucking weird country. Scuse the mail youtube.

She's a good prop. An NHS doctor, easy on the eye.

His dad was a toolmaker. Did you know that? He doesn't mention it very often. I'm sure if he was still alive he'd have him standing on the steps of the plane too.

You’re a sexist twit

You’re a sexist twit

That's exactly what she is, though. A good prop.

There she is getting on a plane to a NATO summit. Why?

At a guess its an expenses paid trip away for fun, with a couple of meetings for him and some mild admin for her to justify her attendance

The celebrating diversity thing seems bit odd to me. It's not as though the tories were just old white men anymore.

But yeah who the fuck reported her to the police.

I think it was some idiot who just tagged the Met in on Twitter rather than any actual report to the police.

I fucking hate this stuff about "risk" being appended every time an MP is confronted by a member of the public atm. Getting told you're a pos, or even having your billboard vandalised, is neither new nor is it indicative that you are in danger. Done in large enough numbers I can well believe it's very unpleasant and can devolve into bullying, but the lean here is to delegitimise people showing any strong feelings about the shit you do to regarding them and the things they care about as someone who seeks power. Politics has never been and should never be some Jane Austen novel type affair in which you get to do what you like and expect nothing more than an occasional stiffly-worded letter in amongst your constituency mail.

And it filters down.
When I take our senior management team (all of whom earn more than a MP and in at least on case more than the PM) to task for their failures - 'oh I found that really upsetting'

I know the author subsequently turned out to be a massive wrong un, but I did like this piece on this topic from a few years ago: The iron law of online abuse
