Starmer the non charmer

Now is the time to set out his vision for the UK, to inspire the UK towards harmony and productivity with a huge majority, which he will never have again. Instead there is a speech , presumably delayed by the riots, which continues to heap blame on the Tories. It was dour, depressing and offered no motivation to the public. There may be huge holes in the public finances and tough tax rises may be necessary, but he also needs to set out a grander plan for economic and societal prosperity. Why can he not do more ?

This is becoming a bore fest on here every day. Look you reform idiots Nigel farage is a dick who didn't win because he is lazy, clacton hasn't seen him do any work yet. Labour only been in 7 weeks so yes the tories are to blame. He's not boring he's telling the truth. It's going to be a long 5 years for you

Are we going to have one of these threads every day?

Just don’t bloody read it. Goodness me. I & many others like to discuss these issues. If you’re not interested, don’t?

Ah yes. Tony Blair, that famous success story! Come on…

He was bloody good tbh. Yes it’s trendy to criticise him, in reality he was no different to Thatcher, many of whose policies were far more damaging long term.

I personally don’t need my PM to have charisma (look where that got us Boris). I need them to have integrity and the best interests of the majority at heart.

Bogginsthe3rd · 29/08/2024 19:10

Finally a Brexit consensus has been reached. I consider the matter closed now.

Well we've had years of multiple, daily Tory hate posts. Why should the current government be immune and not held to account for their failings and unpopular policies?

Exactly. Now the MN majority have got what they wanted, everyone needs to be quiet. Different when they spent years bleating about how crap tories were!

I agree, but two tier doesn’t have any of those characteristics.

They have only been in 7 weeks for fuck sake and unravelling the damage the tories have done is gonna take time as this country was destroyed by them that's why

Reform voter are we two tier there is no two tier policing. Funny thing is that when black people got arrested or they have been stopped in. Search pretty much more than any white person. Your lot would have said they should just suck it up. You were not calling the police 2 tier. Then it's actually an insult to actual things that have happened towards minorities not to racist. Arseholes that shouldn't have been. Rioting

Perhaps some people lobbing the two tier stuff about would like to define exactly what they mean by the term and explain why they endorse it.

This.

Perhaps he's trying a brand new evolutionary tactic in politics - honesty?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Are you 12???

GoldenLegend · 29/08/2024 19:15

I don’t want politicians who charm. I want politicians who DO THE JOB. Given that Starmer has only been in power a few weeks and that the previous government made a binfire of everything they could, I’m more than happy to wait and see how he does.

BIossomtoes · 29/08/2024 19:25

I personally had more than enough “charm” and “charisma” from Johnson. I like having a politician who levels with me about just how bad it is. Did anyone really fall for Sunak and Hunt’s promises of tax cuts? No wonder you’re sore if you did - it was just more sunlit uplands and unicorns, wasn’t it?

Julen7 · 29/08/2024 19:27

GinnyPiggie · 29/08/2024 16:11

No, Starmer isn't charismatic - we've had those PMs (Johnson) and they were incompetent weasels. He's fucking bright though and he's driven by wanting to improve things for people.

And yes we are here because of the last 14 years.

Wanting to improve things for people - pfffffftt!

Yanbu OP. TwoTierKeir is a robot, a puppet, has no empathy, no vision, complete charisma bypass, doesn’t care, a traitor.

Anybody else's pets of a canine persuasion looking a bit confused at the moment - as though they can hear something?

jen337 · 29/08/2024 19:37

The Tories were whining on incessantly about New Labour Blairites and please point me in the direction of any charismatic rousing speeches that Cameron, May, Sunak delivered. Keep on scraping away at the bottom of the barrel with these dumb posts.
