Kier Starmer - what he'll be like as a PM

@AnitaLoos
Why are you so dismissive of the possible blackmail idea? It has been, is being discussed atm, discussed in chambers by barristers, quite a lot. Only teasing about the gay bit. But seriously they are honestly staggered, cant work it out. can only assume he is being blackmailed, because there is not many other explanations as to why such a good man, incredibly clever man, could be so non-achieving since he came to power as leader of labour. He did so much good stuff prior to becoming leader. But since not so much. And recently even less. No one can understand it, and they talk about it a lot.

Why? Are you too in london chambers, as a barrister? To dispute what I said. Are you there now?
Do you think these discussions are not going on? Law society members, other solicitors who know him, think he's incredibly bright, have seen his earlier fab legal work. But cant grasp why on earth he isn't still doing it?

It is terribly bad manners to criticise spelling.

Sir Keir keeps Friday evenings clear as his wife is Jewish

WTAF is that meant to mean?

This thread is wild.

Apparently Starmer's responsible for the state the country's in!!

@DisappearingGirl..

I disagree. It's not a women with penis "thing".
. It's a fundamental attack on freedoms and liberties not won over time but that we still trying to win.

The world came under this wave and people were confused and stonewall and the like took hold.. The difference between labour and tory is that tory now recognises this and Rishi has been very clear about it.
Starmer has not and we know stonewall is a party supporter.

Myself and myself children and my girls have a right to have intimate care of given by biological women if we choose
If we are already vulnerable on an NHS ward (from illness and at risk form poor protection NHS gives against abuse and attack) we have the right to be along side biological women.

Very soon speaking out about this will be called a hate crime... Look at the one nurse in Scotland and the group of nurses... This will get far worse and our powers to raise this in a democracy will be removed.

Pathological liar?

I'm talking about SINCE he became leader. Most were optimistic, thinking 'here we go, finally', but since he became leader he hasn't actually done that much. Many are disappointed.

The Times also had a reported follow him around for 3 months and wrote an article and the conclusion seemed to be that he’s a decent, hardworking bloke who cares about making a difference, understands what it’s like to work to where he is, has a great sense of humour one in one, but can be a bit stiff on camera…
I can think of worse people for the job… like every bloody Tory ever for starters…
I don’t need someone who can quote Catullus in a jaunty manner I need some one who’s going to put their head down and get on with some work

He talks a good one but I have no faith in any of them tbh. It won’t take long for him destruct something. Not everything will better. Unfortunately.

So much potential. So wasted. All my friends who are barristers say the word , up in London, in all the chambers, is he is being blackmailed? Has he done something really really bad in a previous life? Is he secretly gay and worried about it coming out, so being blackmailed. They literally can't see any other possible reason for it.

Came to power, so bright, so clever, so much potential. Done nothing. So wishy washy. so clever, when you meet him, which many of my friends do, regularly as they are legal - either barristers or solicitors, they all say he's charming, bright. Not when you see him speak on stuff he isn't. It's like he's had a personality transplant.

And did you hear him with Jane re the trans and his' twaddle'? Nice one Jane. But she humiliated him, because he was so weak and naff.

Now he's come out with somethig a bit stronger today.

"Sir Keir Starmer has said transgender women do not have a right to access female-only spaces, amid confusion over Labour’s stance on which lavatories trans people should use.
The Labour leader said biological males who have legally transitioned should not enter areas designated for women, insisting those spaces “need to be protected”."

I'm not sure I can trust him anymore though. I wanted to, years ago, but he's failed me too many times.

I think history will be kinder to Brown than the current climate is.

And in my opinion he's head and shoulders above all the PMs since.

Yes, I'm working with 25 schools whose PFI contracts are about to come to an end. They might save some money by taking their buildings in house, but they also inherit a massive workload they haven't previously had to manage and most will need to employ people with the skills to do it. Plus their buildings are beautifully maintained, compared to other schools in the LA.
