Keir Starmer's time is up

[PTK]

I'm sure he is, and promoting a one-trick factional warrior doesn't sound like the smartest move for an administration failing to govern.

It is what I would do if I were on a mission to destroy social democratic politics in order to establish the unchallenged domination of Blairism.

 

[magneze]

He's promoted his head of political strategy. Must have been going really well.

...and still one week until the first 100 days are up!

Just crossed the double Truss thresshold

Labour won the election by chasing the floater voter though

Sue Gray was earning about sixty thousand pounds per year more than Starmer received in declared gifts.

You have to vote for change

100 days in, plenty of sleaze, where is the change?

Starmer has pocketed it

Is it even possible to hate these fuckers more than the last lot ? Orwell was right

I never thought I’d hate a Labour leader more than Blair. I was wrong….

If you are referring to the ending of Animal Farm, I must point out that we have not had a revolution.

Except the English revolution and the Irish revolution

It was not either of those revolutions that brought Starmer to power, tough. It was an election.

Well spotted. But it is another revolution that will remove him and his ilk

 

[weltweit]

I dislike Starmer.

 

[two sheds]

I still hate labour somewhat less than my deep hatred for the tories though.

For now.

 

[Rob Ray]

He's put in a barnstorming performance of hateability so far though, you have to admit. I have high hopes for him, especially as and when he drags us into some sort of conflict in an effort to look like a Leader Of Substance.

He's already given an open-ended subsidy to Ukraine for which 10m pensioners are paying, he'll drag the country into the middle east morass and then into the west pacific

I'd thought this was the figure but wasn't sure:

UK’s £22bn carbon capture pledge follows surge in lobbying by fossil fuel industry, records show

Scope of oil and gas influence underscores concerns technology will prolong demand for planet-heating natural gas

www.theguardian.com

the £22 billion in a speculative project is the exact figure for the "black hole" that is supposedly being plugged by cutting Winter Fuel payment and the rest.

Remember the annual £3bn to kyiv 'for as long as it takes'

 

[imposs1904]

I always knew Starmer would end up being a liability for Labour. I just didn't expect it to be this soon.

I have a vision of Starmer and Truss co-hosting a talk show on LBC by 2026.

 

[Rob Ray]

Ah it seems like only February when they ditched their £28bn climate fund because they didn't think they'd have the money. Mainly because it was.

 

[pbsmooth]

this 'outrage' about some free football tickets from a load of people who already hated Starmer and his Labour party is getting a bit ridiculous. the right-wing press must be loving it!

He's exceeded expectations.

 

[Serge Forward]

But Starmer is right wing, so it's win-win

Is it? And why 'outrage'?
