Can't berate Starmer for this but think some parents will be aghast.

No frothing - just a cool, calm, calculated analysis of the fucking mess Labour are.

😂

A small list up to 2022. It doesn’t even mention Boris Johnson giving a £199k a year job to Carrie, when he was having an affair with her.

Ok, and back to the current government.

I have just caught up with the latest domestic politics.

My oh my isn’t Starmer getting himself into a pickle.
This could be a lame-duck one-term administration.

And before the usual shills remind me of Labours majority, they are evidently not immune from a healthy dollop of infighting.

What a cluster-fuck.

Schadenfraude.

It’s quite amusing

Live by the sword and all that

You need to do a like for like comparison.

Absolutely right. Compare Johnson and Starmer over the same five year period.

How odd, a pile of Tories piles on. All the usual names!

Starner was wrong to accept the free goods, although it was a minuscule drop in the ocean compared to what the Tories took.

I'm more interested to know in detail what his policies are. It's become common for politicians of all stripes to be coy about those. Democracy in action.

Get a grip. Plenty of us aren’t Tories. That’s the issue.

Of course Starmer gifts were a drop in the ocean compared to the Tories. That’s one man vs how many MPs?

You can’t compare personal gifts of one man to the gifts of an entire government of MPs. Over which time period? We are talking about KS. You need to do a like for like comparison.

The fact remains it’s shitty of all of them. Which KS agreed with. KS insisted he and his party were different. Except they aren’t. And he is still lying. Not even clever lies. Provable lies.

@EasternStandard We'll have to do a financial tally at the end of the term. We both know which party had their hands in the till, and used a pandemic as a cover to pay billions to their mates.

potionsmaster · 29/09/2024 08:42

I've voted Labour in every election apart from Starmer and Corbyn. I'm not angry because I'm a Tory, I'm angry because I'm not, and I want Labour to be a party I can vote for.

Piling on is usually the Labour supporters go to, you just don’t notice it as you presumably agree or join

I’ve thought him a con for ages only now is the public catching up, look at the backlash

Good

What with you being an expert and all, could you answer this poser for me?

Doesn't claiming a superinjunction exists, never mind muttering about relationships and the like, also breach the terms of a superinjunction if it does exist and you're not just chatting shit to try to sound important?

Well, my inner teenager would reply to you “whatever”. I am not trying to sound important (weird frankly that you might think that), I am merely highlighting rumours circulating in Westminster. If you wish to ignore them, then you ought to jog on.

I recall the Australian media breaking a super injunction.

OP posts:
TizerorFizz · 28/09/2024 21:15

Plenty? Ryan Giggs. Who else? It’s a rare injunction. Also they won’t cover the foreign based press or social media so these days injunctions are more likely, no super!

justasking111 · 28/09/2024 19:39

Plenty of footballers used super injunctions so that their wives didn't find out that they were playing away. It was to gag the media.

OP posts:
TizerorFizz · 28/09/2024 18:43

I think a super injection prevents comment on a court case. Or even the existence of one. So what court case? They could try an injunction but it would probably fail as this info is in the public interest.

It’s all very well saying Conservative MPs get gifts but none, at the moment, can hold a candle to Starmer! If is the hypocrisy that’s so astounding. Utterly stupid of them.

Portalsalways · 28/09/2024 18:03

In all honesty, whatever the rumour is (and I don’t think it’s what most people in X are claiming) if they are true, or he is hiding something, he would be just better admitting it.

If you are PM your private life often IS in the public interest. Especially, when you use your private life to promote yourself.

But I don’t think anything good comes from speculating about what the rumour is.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 28/09/2024 17:56

JRSKSSBH · 28/09/2024 17:37

You do understand what a super injunction is? Facts can’t be spoken about hence rumours. I think if someone in power behaves like this then expect the worst. He is also a sanctimonious prig hence people being doubly enraged.

“She has become the fastest MP to jump ship after a general election in modern political history.“

As for the rumours looks it’s picking up anyway across below the line comments in the media.

No comment on that but I don’t think Starmer helps himself with his defensive and arrogant responses to questions

A Labour MP has quit over the “freebies” scandal that has engulfed Keir Starmer and his government.

Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury, said she was standing down because of Sir Keir’s “cruel and unnecessary” policies and said she was writing to the Prime Minister today informing him of her decision to resign.

Ms Duffield condemned Sir Keir in a letter for accepting gifts worth more than £100,000 for clothing, glasses and accommodation paid by Lord Alli, the millionaire Labour peer.

In the letter shared with the Sunday Times, she wrote: “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.”

oof

Oh wow.

But I certainly agree with you about Starmer’s revolting priggishness and hypocrisy.
