What an odd video. Almost like a deepfake with sentences spliced together and lack of human warmth.

14 years of Tory misrule, lies, corruption, economic policies to favour the well off, the country falling apart in almost every way..... meek public response..... a few months after a Labour victory and it's riots, strikes, campaigns, whingeing..... I don’t get it, yeah, let's have the Tories back, especially led by that Kemi woman, maybe the problem is that Labour just don't tell enough lies??

There are millions of possible lies and only one truth so lying is always easier to give a nice story and to spin thing how you like

Kill the vulnerable quickly by taking away their winter fuel allowance raising inheritance tax so he can get his grubby hands on their money

aramox1 · 24/12/2024 13:14

Ah yes the vulnerable suffering under a harsh inheritance tax ... seriously?

The public were gaslighted for 14 years by the Tories and the media for most of it gave them a soft ride.

Now Labour are in and all that pent up anger and frustration is released (from media and public).

It doesn't help that there was minimal enthusiasm for Starmer to begin with and it's a cabinet of lightweights.

MsWillis · 24/12/2024 13:20

I'd rather he focused on sorting out the country, stop trying to act like a statesman, just do the job and get the results. That's when I'll judge him. I'm not interested in anythign other than a complete focus on the day job.

ruffler45 · 24/12/2024 13:27

His blank look, speech and sincerity are underwhelming...

MerryChristmasYaFilthyBrusselSprout · 24/12/2024 13:28

I agree OP, that almost looks like AI.

He’s like a flaming robot that man. Say what you like about Rishi but at least he was human 😆

What is there an overwhelming tendency for those on the left, when faced with justifiable critcism of the PM and Government, to resort to student politics type insults rather than debate or rebut the criticism using facts? It was ever thus.

The facts show that this government had a plan to win the election, but no plan to govern. They have ideolgies, but no coherent policies. We have had pledges, missions, milestones, foundations...a veritable word salad. We have had a budget. But that has led to lower, now zero, growth (soon to be a techncial recession), higher interest rates, lower or no payrises for the lower paid, higher taxes on business, higher pay but no fewer strikes and no better service for train drivers, and disgruntled teachers, nurses and pensioners. We've had exagerated CV's, cronyism beyond belief, ministerial resignations and a government that won't even pay for their own clothes.

Which would all have been business as usual, if only they hadn't set out how very different they would be. They are not, and they were never going to be. All that in less than 6 months.

Was he, I've never heard Starmer mention that before, well I never!

LeftoverTurkeyPie · 24/12/2024 13:33

I’m a lifelong lefty and can’t stand him.
He has a sinister air around him. I don’t trust him at all.

Iwanttoliveonamountain · 24/12/2024 13:41

The labour party won the general election by a massive majority. The media is controlled by the Tories, we know that.

mumda · 24/12/2024 13:43

The UK government system relies on strong and effective opposition.
We've not had that for a very long time. Which of course means the new Government doesn't know what being in government means.

Without effective opposition we will continue to flounder with piss poor policies and lack of forward planning. The country is doomed. You can't grow your way out of idiocracy.

You're wrong.

I agree entirely that 14 years of Conservative thievery and deceit has left us in this situation.
