Bye bye Starmer

[MikeHunt]

Fire people because they are bad at their jobs I say.

I don’t recall the last time an mp was fired or quit for poor performance or getting a policy wrong.

Starmer has had an undeniable septimana horribilis, so I wonder if it’s acceptable for all these oversight omissions to be accepted without his resignation? I actually hoped his authoritarian management persona would work but I can’t escape the fact he has repeatedly ignored, or been unaware, of serious wrongdoing in senior elected officials.. deputy Labour Party leadership contest might be more relevant than we perhaps appreciated..

He’s elected for 5 years. Unlike Boris who lied and cheated, nothing Starmer has done is contrary to any standards. The members of his party who have been accused of wrongdoing have gone.

No, but he has put those people in those positions.. like a football manager on a losing streak; the players may be at fault but it’s usually the boss that goes: with responsibility comes culpability

The point is that Starmer isn’t employed, he is elected. The mechanism to remove him is to vote him out next time.

Yep, from recent history, to get kicked out as PM you have to personally fuck up (with personal gain), and declaring being bought a pair of glasses and taken to the football isn’t really going to do it.

Labours issues so far would barely register on the scale of the blatant con artists of recent governments.
