Bye bye Starmer

[Rich B]

quitting the party she won her seat with, but not up for a bi election? seems a bit dishonest…

I thought the letter was great.

I'm looking forward to the power cuts of the future because at this rate there will be some.

What has the letter got to do with power cuts? Drinking early again?

No booze my little friend.

The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.

Reference was for the Netzero scam the Milliband brothers are currently milking and the possibilty of blackouts in the future

There was a news piece a few days ago about water shortages 10 years from now and potentially importing water via shipping tankers from Norway at some ridiculous cost.

That pretty much summed up the state of things.

i liked her comments about “ Starmer having a problem with women”. i mean, her argument kind of falls on its arse when you see the cabinet is pretty much half women, including the dept PM, the chancellor of exchequer, secretary of state… you know, all the top spots…!

or perhaps he has an issue with loud back benchers who get elected as labour because they aren’t brave enough to stand as an independent?

I’m just surprised to see Broccers supporting a 3x elected Labour MP.

The day before yesterday they were trying to spread rumours that he was actually gay and Lord Alli was his lover, now it’s that he’s having affairs and promoting women (that i thought he hated?) by sending them to the house of lords!

The smear Kier campaign is hilarious! He’s not Boris ffs!

Why are you dragging it up now then? Clearly no one has found any issues or relevance in the last 18 months?

I wonder why indeed. Broccers, do you have any older links, maybe telling us how nice a guy Jimmy Savile was?

Re: Net Zero, people don't seem to realise that BoJo was one of the biggest environmentalist leaders we've had, and he pushed our net zero commitment as much as anyone. He even did the whole Levelling Up agenda which was almost entirely about regional development and climate change. Cliamte change and net zero isn't a subject that's tied to one party, people just like to pretend it's a labour thing, when in reality the conservatives also pursued it too.

I've noticed an increasing number of tweets from the Tufton Street posse making vague rumours and allegations that there's something being suppressed about Starmer.

They assume that because they were constantly having to suppress stuff about Tory misbehaviour, that Labour must be needing the same treatment on their side of the press.

But Labour are, broadly, way too boring for that, primarily because most of their front bench aren't clinical narcissists and sociopaths so very deep into the culture war - because it's the only thing they have left to talk about, they certainly don't have policies - they need a fucking bathysphere.

That is a very interesting point. I imagine it was more for populism and personal gain than from any principled crusade, since principles are something he quite clearly lacks.

My social media feeds are having more and more of this - "Big Scandal will be announced next week" etc. I tend to just block them as I've no time for this sort of tinfoil hat click-bait

[Rich B]

The Tory/reform voters are just rallying round to find whatever they can (and spread whatever rumours they can think of) because the media is having fun with the gifts story.

so far, we’ve basically got the weak sauce story of Kier had some clothes bought for him and went to some football games. They’re a LONG way off the antics of Boris, Zahawi and Mone - you know - actual scandals!

Labour could undo it that's the point

Then you’d be posting twitter posts about how Starmer has wasted all that money that was spent on wind farms by cancelling it (like you suddenly siding with a random lefty back bencher against Starmer).
