I’m already fed up of Starmer as PM

[Wasntmeanttobelikethis]

Semi- lighthearted, I know it’s early days, but I’m not convinced of Starmer as an effective leader
He reads from his notes even when giving a short speech; if he really believed in what he is saying, why the need?
He doesn’t seem to have the leadership X factor and doesn’t seem to have a grip on the ongoing riots
Bright new start for UK? Doesn’t feel like it

the Government accepted the PRRB pay award in full last week or the week before.

I think you’ll find that Truss and Johnson will be holding that particular title. The sour grapes round here are really on show.

Eastern please find me a picture of Starmer standing up with a 3 word slogan behind him - specifically one that say smash the gangs.

Also why your at it look at all the Tory ones with stop the boats amblazoned across it.

I don't deny it's something he's said. And I will admit I think it's a stupid phrase. But he hasn't used it afaik as propaganda and an advertising slogan. He's just said it as part of a longer speech.

He's also said how he plans to do that starting at supporting countries who have mass migration to solve the issues causing it.

He's also said he'll process the people the Tory's didn't process - while waiting to do a reciprocal swap with Rwanda of 200 people - and send back anyone not entitled to asylum.

We have a huge problem with asylum seekers in hotels purely based on the Tory's choice to stop processing them.

Wow some thick bots people on here. Can you imagine how badly little Rishi would have dealt with the riots? Or Liz Truss?

We have had collective failure of Conservative leadership, worsening through the years.

I think Starmer is doing a good job. Boris was the pits at this kind of thing. In contrast Starmer understands our justice system and means business.

To the poster who said Starmer's going on holiday today. He's not. He's chairing COBRA.

Some posters will be really disappointed when the riots stop and the thugs are rounded up.

Oh come on. Twas ever thus in politics.
Maggie Thatcher Milk Snatcher? Ritchie Sunak?

Your faux outrage is ridiculous.

"But officer, I was simply protesting against Starmer's trafficking policy..."

The only trafficking that thug is concerned with is the type that supplies his coke.

He seems really poor. I cant unify the country, he's fanning the flames of the riots. I needs to take decisive action re the boats but will probably just dance around it by saying he's working with the French etc.

I didn't like Sunak much either, I think he was relieved to walk away from being PM. Neither he nor Starmer are leadership material.

he's fanning the flames of the riots

How?

He’s not about sound bites. He’s about working hard to make changes . Sensible to have some notes written.

He is a poor leader..his weekend speeches show this. He doesn't understand what is happening.

It’s not about where his three words are said it’s what happens with numbers due to it

As for pp on trafficking policy same response it’s about numbers to those not on mn but other media

And you do? Please share your pearls of wisdom’s about what’s happening.

Every time he opens his mouth.

He led the CPS. I think he understands violent yobs better than most.

I for one am immensely relieved it's Starmer dealing with this, not Johnson, Truss, Sunak, May. I'd rather it wasn't happening at all, of course.

I think it makes it more likely that Farage style politics get pushed out, rather than gaining power. We've given that fascist way too much airtime.

Those saying Starmer is making it worse by not 'recognising concerns', what would you prefer him to say? That he knows folk are mad about small boats and he'll immediately remove any arrival on the same retrospectively? This doesn't really cover the concerns about now British nationals or settled people who previously claimed asylum, who are included in the hate from what I see, so should he include those people being removed?There are attacks and stuff online showing hatred to anyone with non white skin, regardless of whether they are British or not, so should he stand there and say we'll remove all but white people? How would this help instead? You'll say of course not but really even a very bland comment re concerns of immigration in this situation, in the riots, would seriously 'other' people in this country - and legitimise the reasons for the riots - hardly a suitable response.
Regarding these 'concerns' actually His Home Secretary has laid out exactly what they are doing and plan to do re immigration and none of it is open borders, in fact it's aimed at reducing immigration, just not via violence! I also heard him be clear that everyone causing such trouble would face the law and I took that to mean any violence from anyone, including retaliation and not just by the instigators.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply.

Amazed so many posters think politics should be run by mobs burning libraries, Citizens advice bureau, dragging taxi drivers out of cars or looting Lush.

Sod democracy. Sod sovereignty. Sod law and order.

Let the most violent in society decide our direction.

What's your magic solution then? Since you're so clever, what should he have said or done? Remember you've only got 3 weeks to enact whatever you suggest so it had better be effective!

Really?? He's had around 4 weeks, he has a hell of a job to clean up the 14 years shit show that's taken place! Did you think he had a magic wand and can fix things in an instant?

Whether the policy is poor or not remains to be seen, doesn’t it? The ‘tracking upwards’ of numbers you speak of happened under the last policy. You don’t really think 4 weeks is enough to actually start addressing the problem?

I think yours is a sensible post.
There are some problems which are problems, and they're (they are) going to be problems for ALL governments and ALL Home Secretaries, and have been.
Parties feel that they need to promise some actions in order to get votes, but it's hard to carry out those promises, maybe impossible.

Migration does not have to end with public disorder.

Migration with a government and others in positions of power dehumanising migrants and inciting hatred will result in riots as we have seen.

You mean he isn't skipping Cobra to sort out his various families or to get on with writing a book that no one is interested in.

Not the least Prime Ministerial.

Such a more leader that he and his party won a massive majority at the General Election a month ago?

If you are such an expert in leadership, may I ask did you stand in the election?
