Keir Starmer at it again..

[darlowolf64]

Vote for whichever candidate can remove the tory waster in your constituency... job done

 

[Del Woppio]

 

[Templeton Peck]

Surely getting rid of the Tories is enough of a reason?

Don't think my vote will make much difference. And Starmer's a cunt.

 

[Tredman]

Shame Monty’s not still standing.

 

[Del Woppio]

Starmer had just said he was in charge of the CPS, he really should've mentioned that before

 

[Tony Towner]

Starmer had just said he was in charge of the CPS, he really should've mentioned that before

Only for the good cases though

His dad was a toolmaker apparently.

Yep, he definitely made a tool...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

His dad was a toolmaker apparently.

Really?

 

[ROVERT47]

His dad was a toolmaker apparently.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Nothing wrong with that.

Not saying there is.

 

[ROVERT47]

Just came over as a bit sniffy, the sort of remark I’d expect from a Telegraph reading Tory and not a fully paid up subscriber to the Socialist Worker.

No issue with it at all, more that it's mentioned at every opportunity. That was the context.

 

[ROVERT47]

Never heard it myself, I’ll have to listen to more of his speeches.
Having said that, I used to turn components to very fine limits for the Aerospace Industry until a machine the size of a small Bungalow replaced my skill.
If either of my Sons ever referred to that I’d be chuffed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Given the background of Cameron/Johnson/Sunak I think it's quite good to have a leader from humble(ish) origins. I don't think he bigs it up that much himself, does he?

This is the thing, people say he's unrelatable yet he plays 5 a side with his mates, has a season ticket for his club (granted it's Arsenal, but he can't help where he was born), likes a pint in a non-fake way, earned his non-political career on merit and through sheer hard work...I can understand disagreeing with his policies and some of the way he leads the party but I think his background is a plus rather than a minus.

People used to say about Johnson "he's a politician you could have a drink with". I can't think of anything worse, the stinking cunt would be awful company and leave me with the entire bill to pay. I wouldn't mind having an hour with Starmer talking about football.

Big test would be how much of a food bill would he pay after ordering half the menu and leaving before the bill came out..

 

[Keef]

Normal and possibly a bit dull, I’ll take that over the last 14 years of awfulness

Relatability is always in the eye of the beholder, though. Could say a lot of the same stuff about Corbyn - mum a teacher, dad an engineer, also loves Arsenal, spends his free time reading or making jam, by all accounts actually interested in other people and easy to have a conversation with - but somehow Boris Johnson won that popularity contest.

Similarly I have no doubt my uncle really would have loved to have a drink with Farage, seeing as all he ever wanted to talk about once he had a few drinks in him was either the injustice of removing free parking from the local high street or shooting refugees (and sometimes at the same time).

 

[Tredman]

I'm sure this makes me prejudiced but I am utterly sick of private school educated politicians playing the common man card. Fuck them.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Elphicke decision looks pretty ropey now. Entirely predictable that the usual papers would release stories they sat on while she has a blue rosette.
