to think Keir Starmer just wants to tell Boris Johnson to fuck off

I know it wouldn't be professional. But in Parliament, Boris gets to give his statement, Keir replied to it - and Boris then attacked that reply and the Labour party.

Keir isn't allowed to reply to that. He just has to sit there whilst Boris gets to make more replies.

I think Keir just wants to wipe that smug grin off Boris's face and tell him what he thinks of the reply Boris gave. But he can't.

you're probably not wrong.

pissininthewind · 12/10/2020 19:04

I agree.

Hopefully he'll have the last laugh (before it's all too late).

romeolovedjulliet · 12/10/2020 19:05

at least corbyn has gone so labour might have a slight chance.

Janaih · 12/10/2020 19:05

Sir Kiers time will come. He really doesn't need to do much to let Bozo hang himself.

DynamoKev · 12/10/2020 19:05

I daresay they both want to tell each other to fuck off actually.

Aquarius15 · 12/10/2020 19:08

Bet Keir would take him out in a fight Grin

Averyyounggrandmaofsix · 12/10/2020 19:14

Don't we all?

SecretSpAD · 12/10/2020 19:16

Is there anyone who doesn't want to?

Crankley · 12/10/2020 19:16

How unfortunate then that Boris Johnson couldn't give a fuck about what Starmer wants.

fantasmasgoria1 · 12/10/2020 19:16

Aquarius I reckon so too!

Or indeed about anything or anyone but himself.
VinylDetective · 12/10/2020 19:18

I can’t see why Starmer would be any different to anyone I know.

LovelyLovelyMe · 12/10/2020 19:20

But what would Keir Starmer-or anyone-do that would be better?

It seems that no-body anywhere in the world knows the best way forward-so depressing.

Myalternate · 12/10/2020 19:20

So easy isn't it to be sat on that side of the house knowing he's not responsible for dealing with it all. Smile

StoneofDestiny · 12/10/2020 19:21

Think we all want Johnson to Fuck off !

TheSmallClangerWhistlesAgain · 12/10/2020 19:24

I think it's the other way round. Boris can't defeat Keir in an argument so he'd love it if Keir just went all Toulouse Le Plot and screamed at him to go fuck himself. He'd consider it a victory.

I bet Keir is better at creative insults as well, and probably swears like a trooper when there are no microphones around.

Unfortunate for every single one of us.
Helendee · 12/10/2020 19:30

I’m sure Boris feels the same!

Be careful what you wish for!

There are plenty more waiting in the wings, some of whom might be even worse (although I doubt if any of them would be less competent).

I think Johnson might stand aside soon anyway. He looks as though he's lost all enthusiasm for the job, he's had a moan about how it doesn't pay enough, I reckon he'll "get Brexit done" and resign, citing post-Covid fatigue or wanting to spend more time with his family. He'll have fulfilled the role of useful idiot and then someone else can step up to deal with the aftermath.

Someone else might be more competent, but I doubt if they'd do any more to help the people who are really struggling. The poor will bear the brunt of paying for Covid one way or another and I think that, overall, things are going to be shit for years to come.

BoJo couldn't give a fuck about what anybody wants with the exception of Cummings. Hopefully his demise is sooner rather than later.
ZaraW · 12/10/2020 19:33

That should be downfall not demise.

D4rwin · 12/10/2020 19:35

I think a lot of people want to tell Boris to fuck off. But the Tories right now are doing nothing to be popular or pay attention, listen or win anyone over .... or you know, effectively govern.

Amanduh · 12/10/2020 19:36

I doubt it, he’d actually have to get off the fence in his position of both agreeing, disagreeing, condemning, but then also having no alternative plan, all at the same time. He is utterly pointless

SomewhereEast · 12/10/2020 19:38

Its not as if KS as articulated any detailed alternative though, and I say this as a Labour voter
