Keir Starmer's time is up

[PTK]

The Labour Party's earlier line was that the public didnt care about these things

Sir Keir Starmer, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Chancellor Rachel Reeves will not accept any further donations for clothing after a row over donations, a Downing Street source has said.

The prime minster has been embroiled in a growing controversy after it emerged he had repeatedly accepted gifts including sunglasses, tailoring and personal shopping for his wife from Labour peer Waheed Alli.

The Financial Times has reported that Ms Rayner and Ms Reeves declared thousands of pounds in work clothing from wealthy donors as general office support.

This is a disgrace. It seems that the Leaders of the people of our Land are refusing offers of clothing now, and will be turning up at events in scruffy rags.

Reeves, Rayner and Lammy are told no more free clothes….

I know nothing about football matches but when he is in this VIP Box will he be facing the crowd of oppossing fans?, if so can any football supporters here who end up going to support a team oppossing his (Arsenal?) please take the opportuniy to hold up some entertaining banners for his amusement?

LOL. remember all this shit in the press about how Lady Starmer was going to be all low profile and just do her job at the NHS? These people are fucking stupid freeloaders.

Not that stupid as the trough their snouts are deep in is a rich gruel indeed

This narrative of the centrists - that Starmer is under attack - is correct.

But, it’s not because he’s ’on the left’ and being attacked by a right wing media. Whilst the media is undoubtedly right wing there is nothing in Starmer’s bleak censorious liberalism that is of concern. Rolling back the state, reform, freezing the old to death are fine by them. That there is no vision, no plan, no narrative just the wholesale adoption of the neoliberal agenda of the last 40 years is precisely what Starmer promised.

The criticism of Starmer is because his offer - managerial competence and the “grown ups back in charge” - appears to be palpably false. Like Johnson, Truss and Sunak, Starmer appears incapable of basic efficiency and effective management of the state on behalf of capital.

The disorientation of the grifter class on twitter who’ve spent years hammering the Tories only to find out to their horror that their side are the same and as venal and stupid is highly enjoyable.

I dont think she is getting the reaction she was looking for judging by the comments.

So good you said it twice.

Some of us owe Starmer an apology. I for one have been predicting that Starmer and his government would be a disaster and deeply unpopular within months of taking office.

I was wrong. He’s achieved mass unpopularity within weeks.

The only questions now are:

When does he beat the Tory record?
How long before the PLP realise Starmer and Reeves are an unmitigated disaster, have no plan and that defeating austerity through austerity has been tried before and merely leads to deeper austerity?

He’s done it. More unpopular than Sunak before the 100 day honeymoon period is over. Stunning.

You thought that the planning regulations that allowed developers to convert office blocks into "warehouses of humans" via permitted development were too tight? You were sick of walking in the Green Belt, and wanted it covered in concrete?

Why do we need a “Poverty taskforce”? The Labour Party Leadership has had years to decide what to do about alleviating poverty, and could have introduced measures to do so upon being elected. But no, poor people must wait another few years before some inadequate scheme is rolled out. I say “inadequate”, because if it does not include the abolition of the two-child limit then it will be inadequate. Any supporter of Starmer should feel ashamed that, so committed is he to keeping the victims of this policy in poverty, that he suspended the seven Labour MPs who voted to abolish it.

Despicable, predictable and indicative of the utter contempt of the neoliberals for the trade union movement and the organised working class.

Just looked at her Wiki and she is only 45. She's got a lot more time to reek shit on the working class.

She really is a sack of shit. She's another one that doesn't hold constituency surgeries and has her minions do it all (even before becoming chancellor).

In his first conference speech as PM, Sir Keir will say a "shared struggle" is needed to build a new Britain.

At least the lip service is that 'there is light at the end of the tunnel', rather than Cameron's 'fuck your light, get sharper elbows'.

The article says he will bang on about benefit 'fraud' and an increase in powers to investigate it and recover money. Which is very small in terms of politics and vision, will make next to fuck all difference and will sour the national attitude to people requiring benefits.
