The evidence supporting that view is pretty conclusive tbfI’m guessing the 12% that downvoted him are those of that not particularly rare view that all politicians are wankers.

There are people that don't think that?I’m guessing the 12% that downvoted him are those of that not particularly rare view that all politicians are wankers.
That 1 percent approval lead suggests they MUST change leaders to have a fighting chance.In a similar vein; just how bad are things for the vermin when Cleverly is their 3rd best option:

'No, now is the time to whinge about a tiny cross on a football shirt that looks like it could be considered pro-trans or something'.
He was asked about the shirt, and managed to get some good points in about why shirts should be cheaper and stay current for longer. It’s not like he was driving the story and had it on his grid.
You seem to have fantasised a GB News-lite Starmer purely so that you can be outraged at him.
while I would appreciate it if he responded to questions about football shirts with "this is beneath me, ask a real question, something of substance befitting the leader of the opposition and prime minister in waiting" I can see why his media team advise against it.Yeah he's a real man of the people. Didn't weigh in on football shirts because Farage and 30p Lee did it first or anything.

There is a classy way to do it though.
'I don't think this is the issue most people are actually concerned about. Feels like yet another distraction that the media and the populist right have created to spread division and to stop people from asking why it really is that they're working harder for less reward than they have in decades, why in a nation with vast wealth people are dying in hospital corridors for want of a bed. It's the people who created, and continue to profit from, that situation who are the ones saying look at this shirt, this is an affront to you and your nation, this is what you should be angry about.'

What's the alternative? Do whatever Murdoch says?
Trump trash-talks the media constantly and he's done alright for himself.
We have reached the “Starmer should be more like Trump” conversational nadir already. It is barely past breakfast time.
But he could have used the opportunity to give a mini lecture on the need for investment in grass root community based sports.I think Starmer saying something cautiously anodyne in response to questions about a media concocted non-story is hardly the worst of his crimes.
It will, of course, be just as corrupt with the LP in government but, tbf to Starmer, at least he hasn't committed to an administration of 'integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level'.Jeremy Hunt says £100,000 is not enough to live on forcing Scott Benton on a meagre £87,000 PA ( + all sorts of expenses ) to top up his salary by accepting bribes from the gambling industry. Have these people no shame. Another bloody snout in the trough.
Greedy bastards.
The tories, including Sunak, jumped right on board with the Welsh farmers at their protest!If the farmers are revolting then it's pretty much over, it was anyway, but goodbye conservatives.
Farmers ride tractors into central London in major protest over trade deals
Newyddion S4C has spoken to several farmers who have voiced fears that people outside the rural community may be using protests to achieve other goals.
Some have said individuals and groups opposed to devolution and climate change targets had attended protests and been active on online farming forums.
But he is also apprehensive about the involvement of some prominent figures, including Katie Hopkins.
"If we look at one example of someone who is considered an influencer - Katie Hopkins - she came in on the side of the farmers, and I was alarmed.
"She is well known for holding views which are racist, extremist right wing views, she has been kicked off Twitter....in the end, I don't think it's good for us as farmers to be associated with these kind of views... and in the end, we'll lose the support of the public."
BBC Wales contacted Katie Hopkins but she did not address the farmers' concerns.
On her social media platforms she stated she was "from farming", that her daughter is a farmer and she had "a long history of supporting farmers at personal risk [in South Africa]".
Yep, founder James Melville, a media commentator who does not farm but says he grew up on a family farm in Fife, sits on the board of Together, which runs campaigns against Covid-19 lockdowns and the ULEZ.Isn't the "No farmers no food" movement far-right adjacent? It might be tiptoeing around the edges from what I've seen.

[Fine Gael] stands not for lecturing farmers, but for helping them.
For helping farmers to transition to meet the challenges of both food security and climate change.
We believe in regional development. It's essential. To people in rural Ireland, let me say this to you: we have your back.
