Keir Starmer's time is up

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.
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
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 .:mad:

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.
 

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
