Keir Starmer at it again..

[Sniffer]

I did vote Labour in both 2017 and 2019. In my constituency I voted for Emma Reynolds who I believed genuinely was a superb MP. Unlike the current Conservative incumbent.

I think she's standing against Brexit hard man Steve Baker at the next election.

Would make sense as she was always a remain supporter. Would much rather see her win Wolvo north east back though!

For a football fan he got took apart by Sunak on the references to it today at PMQs. Getting battered everywhere you go (IMO) isn't something to bring up in the house and to then have Arsenal's visit Rwanda sponsorship and the Saints go marching on aimed back at him left him with egg on his face.

Reliably awful.

Streeting is awful.

For suggesting that spending money more wisely is better than just throwing it at failed systems?

There are dozens of reasons, but it's Sunday evening.

Hmmm. Trying very hard here to find a positive. Nope. That one is an all round bad call to say the least.

 

[Del Woppio]

He's fucking terrible at reading the room and anticipating public opinion

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He's fucking terrible

FIFY.

You only thing he'll bring that will be better than the Tories is a lack of corruption - which IS a significant improvement, but other than that I don't see a lot changing under him and Labour.

General raising of the bar in competence across the board you'd think. If there are Labour equivalents of Johnson, Truss, Patel, Coffey, Braverman, Grayling, Rees-Mogg, Jenrick, Badenoch, McVey, Dorries, Leenoch etc then you wouldn't expect them to be given front bench roles.

Which isn't terribly exciting but you can't overstate how awful the last 13 and a half years have been in UK politics.

This the thing with Western democracies isn't it? Best we can hope for is the least worst option.

It'll be austerity and 'difficult decisions' but more competently done.

The closer to power he gets, the less impressed I am

He either doesn't understand how public spending works or he's a sneaky little pickle.

In a straight choice between Labour or Conservative I will always vote Labour but they’re not exactly endearing themselves to me at the moment.

Offered nothing beyond more austerity, immigrant bashing and making Brexit work.
