It’s KEIR NOT KIER!!

……across all the boards. So annoying. It’s only 4 letters, why is it so hard? And breathe….

I agree @ToWhitToWhoo

I've struggled with Starmer's position on this, but st the end of the day I need to think about which party is most likely to reverse some of the horrendous damage that's been done to this country over the last 10 years.

I never use his name. To me he’s “beady eyed wanker”

Tbf, Rishi’s name is quite phonetic yet Joe Biden was delighted that ‘Rashi Sanook’ was now our PM. Looking forward to how he pronounces Keir/Kier 😂

On the matter as to whether he’s truly changed his mind over gender politics, I very much doubt it. The Cass report does rather put Labour on the wrong side of history here and no amount of spin doctors trying to roll back on what he actually said will convince me otherwise. Labour drank the kool aid because seemingly they’ll do anything to try and make life easy or get into power. At least Tony Blair stood for something in 1997 and I hugely disliked him. I couldn’t tell you what Keir stands for at all - but I do know he doesn’t stand up for women and I don’t trust that he won’t be persuaded to change his mind by the lobbyists if he does become PM.

If Labour had any sense they’d give the top job to Rachel Reeves and fuck off the MC flip-floppers like Keir/Kier and Lady Emily Thornberry who change their mind with the wind direction. And fuck off dishonest power grabbers like Angela Rayner because let’s be honest, whether she ‘technically’ broke taxation rules or not, it is clear she tried to avoid paying tax which makes her no better than anyone in the Tory party accused of doing the same. Labour is supposed to be the party of the worker but what ordinary worker has more than one house and receives ‘specialist’ tax advice?

Keir means dick/penis in Farsi (Iranian primary language) I think that’s quite apt 😂.

What do you mean by creep? Weird description.

YANBU, it grated on me as much as the following would: Rishy, Lis, Borus, Teresa, and Davad.

Creep - sleazy-looking old bloke/not familiar with truth and its application/ likely to say anything he thinks might get him elected/ therefore untrustworthy

There might be more. 'Creep' pretty much covers it.

The dismal thought is another four years of the Conservatives.

Ah the Keith connection is a good way to remember it, thanks.

Or K apparently 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me too! Better than the current incumbent by MILES! 🌹🌹🌹

True

Then there's always Kir 🥂🫐

Couldn't ffs.

You clearly didn't see his interview this morning?
Did he actually apologise to Rosie Duffield? I thought he weaselled out of doing that.

I can spell Keir Starmer's name but he's not gained my respect yet. (Nor have many senior politicians of any party though).

Annoys me too @redfacebigdisgrace. As an English teacher I think it's because it defies the "i before e except after c" rule, which obviously doesn't work for names but is in embedded in the populations head.

My SIL is a life long Labour supporter and activist. She adored Jeremy Corbyn. She has voted Labour all her life. Last time we met up she admitted that this might be the first time in her life that she couldnt vote Labour.I was expecting her to go along with the TWAW cobblers but she was really upset about it and about the Labour stance on women being able to have penises.

I'm guessing anyone on here who is moaning about spelling clearly doesn't have learning difficulties like dyslexia!

I do but I can confirm I am not "fucking thick"

Be kind people!

Tier is pronounced like Kier.

How many people think the Labour Party was founded by Kier Hardie?

Probably Keir 😂

We almost called ds Keir, and this was one of the reasons we didn’t

A really mature response

Because if people were out here typing Rashi or Boros or Teresa, it would be equally fucking rude and ignorant. It takes two seconds to check it.

Totally agree OP. I'm also Scottish. Have people not heard of Keir Hardie?

IKR? I mentioned him earlier. <proud>
