Stamer's lost it. He sounds like an angry lunatic in response to questions.

I think Boris was hopeless but Starmer scandals seem to be making Boris's look like childsplay.

Nope, not that far! Boris was, is and always be rubbish.
But Starmer could reach the same rubbish pile soon enough!

Just see Starmer shouting at Ed Davey on the news, Really angry and finger pointing, is he usually like that.

He made no reference to the questions. He just gave prepared shouty rants. Kemi could have skewed him better than last week. She should have ask him want didn't he know about Matthew Doyle when he made him a Lord 8 weeks ago that he knows now. A better leader of the opposition would have delivered a knock out punch.

That's about normal for PMQs. The whole affair is a farce but the press love it and seems to focus entirely on the two 30 minute sessions each week so each week the politicians of both sides continue the charade.

As someone who has never supported the party or the man -in the last 48 hours I have realised there is NO ONE else . So I really hope he survives.

The Labour party have realised it too, which is the only reason he's still in position. How dire.

Oh for goodness sake. Its getting tedious now.

What? Appointing Paedo adjacent Labour luvvies to positions of power?
I agree.

White middle class men are out of fashion, especially with sleaze and dodge attached. Starmer is as white middle class as they come, no matter how much he goes on about “tools”.
So black attractive strong women are more in fashion, so are strong gay men with personality, hence why Polanski/Streeting are popular too.

The whole me too/Epstein scandal, years of men abusing power and abusing women etc - bygone era. I think people want something new.

Old Farage is doing his very best to get attractive supposed minorities with a personality into his party too, tells you all.

The Epstein files show why middle class white men are out of fashion. I just listened to Lisa Nandy discuss the Boys Club culture in Number 10. It might has been expected from Boris but I had really hoped Starmer would be different. But is just jobs for the boys still.

Well ok I’m sure Kemi is a shoo in for next PM. The only person ahead of her being Polanski? So you can see how seriously to take the polls if hypno tits Polanski is your marker.

Read again. I said going up not going down.

They are the only two leaders to be increasing in ratings.

Starmer goes down each week.

tobee · 11/02/2026 17:59

EasternStandard · 11/02/2026 17:56

I don’t think it matters. Maybe Labour feel it does because they need something, but she’s still going up most others going down, only Polanski also bucking the trend.

I think you may be misremembering.

Did Boris appoint a US ambassador who leaked state secrets to fund paedophile ring? I don't think so. I didn't like Boris but Starmer is no better.

And I’m sure you might think the economy was tanking if you got all your news from the bastions of unbiased reporting like The Telegraph and The Express and believed everything you read.

I agree. Boris didn't appoint two friends of paedophiles to senior roles in his government.

Tories were awful but Labour are the worst government I have lived through. I couldn't believe anything could be worse than the last lot but the Labour party are killing the economy, it's fucking awful. My brothers are accountants and know lots of people closing doors/letting staff go, worse than 2008.

So you think the party that deliberately wiped >4% of GDP to save themselves are worse than this one where the worst that can be said is it’s stagnant.

Especially since a large part of the reason for the stagnant economy is as a result of that decision which from the previous government which is still holding us back.

The comparison of Boris and Starmer is utterly ludicrous.

Absolutely. It is just like when Boris was in his dying days. Hopefully he will do the right thing and resign.

No. This government has dropped the ball repeatedly and are doing no better than the ones before. The economy has tanked because of some of the stuff they’ve brought in. And they are as prone to corruption as the last lot. Bloody disgrace.

Most noticeable, imo, was their shock at the situation being exactly as described, and proceeding to do all the things they’d tried to stop the previous administration doing.

And I’m no fan of the Tories.

The economy isn’t “tanking” though. Have a look at some independent and non partisan sources and the picture is actually quite interesting and on the whole positive

That pretty much sums it up! 😊

I do want a Labour government, but cannot find a drop of passion in Starmer!
He is a shite leader, let's face it....

MushMonster · 11/02/2026 17:13

Do you think the Tories have any chance to ever win an election again? Because, to me, as a party with the recent history that unveiled under our eyes just a few years back, there is no way they make a return. For me, Boris and reminder of PMs the Tory party produced managed to kill the party itself. Nevermind how good or bad their new leader is.
And Starmer will do the same to Labour, for the look of it!

AnnPerkins · 11/02/2026 16:53

According to recent polls Kemi is winning all the party leader head to heads

Yes but not much competition but I get your point.

If I were Labour I’d get Andy Burnham in quick as he has charisma and appeals to a broad base. I’d definitely avoid any diversity push at this time though.

MushMonster · 11/02/2026 17:03

He needs to go on his own account before more of the guys around him are proven linked to Epstein or have been selling sensitive information about the country.
He is a poor judge of character. That the closest to him are falling like lead stones is not acceptable. He knew Mandelson had not been granted clearance by MI6. He just went ahead and did name him ambassador. Same for the other cronies. He is not a leader strong enough to drive UK through all this. He is not much of a leader, but an easy push over, actually. He may have some strings these men were pulling at, because why would he do what he did?!?@? It is just plain stupid. And he will destroy Labour if he stays and more rubbish is found hidden underneath a rug, or an offshore bank account.....
