Can’t give the job away.

Goidness...The bottom of that barrel is getting a darn good scrapping.

Henry the seventh! 🤣

I always think of the Dead Ringers sketch when I think of Dave Lammy, he does come out with some very inaccurate and inappropriate comments sometimes. What a Lammy!

EasternStandard · 05/09/2025 21:48

Awful. Can’t see it will help Starmer get Labour out of its hole

RedRiverShore5 · 05/09/2025 21:42

So will Lammy lose that big house that he entertained Vance in. What a shame now he has got his fishing licence

Well it's not like Angela Rayner was overly burdened with IQ is it?

Show quote history

Absolutely not. Not a good word to say about her either. Or the lot of them frankly.

He’s a moron - believes that a man can grow a cervix.

If they think it.... it will grow.....

Ethelflaedofmercia · 05/09/2025 21:21

Awful man

RedRiverShore5 · 05/09/2025 21:12

Wasn't it Domenic Raab that had to step in as deputy when Boris had Covid so it does happen occasionally.

I think it is to soften his demotion, like a sweetener. I think it was similar with Raab as he wasn't happy about something and wanted the title

Ever listen to Dead Ringers on R4?

David……

And we thought the bar couldn’t get any lower than Rayner.

Edited

It was lower- remember Dominic Raab was at one time, also for a while Oliver Dowden.

He’s got dirt on Starmer. The only explanation. You could count the man’s brain cells on one hand.

A lawyer as Justice Secretary as was his predecessor. Which is in my view a good thing. Better than some of those we had in recent years, remember Chris Grayling and Liz Truss, for example.

More concerned at the turnover of Foreign Secretaries to be honest.

As for deputy Prime Minister, that is really only a title in name most of the time.

roseyposey · 05/09/2025 21:08

A man can grow his own cervix or some such crap

MumOfManyAliases · 05/09/2025 21:07

What do you think OP?

peanutbuttertoasty · 05/09/2025 21:07

Still flabbergasted by his idiocy RE the previous conclave to be honest.

This was my first thought as well. Useless idiot. What on earth is Starmer thinking?

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 05/09/2025 21:06

It’s a sweetener for his demotion to MOJ. It’s not a real position in the UK

PamIsAVolleyballChamp · 05/09/2025 21:06

Just proves Labour agrees with his women hating stance. As George Pig says 'dinosaur rawrrr and proud!'

You can literally hear the cogs moving when he speaks.
