To think incompetent hypocrite Starmer has lost the respect of the people and his own party in record time?

An excoriating letter from Rosie Duffield who resigned today..

Been bad enough for her to resign, I wonder what will happen next. Does she know something we don’t?

Labour themselves said 4,000 pensioners would die if WFA was means tested, but now Labour are doing it apparently they won't be dieing after all. Such hypocrisy.

Nearly 14k on football tickets?! Seriously WTAF?! I’d love a few freebies to watch my preferred sport…it’s not footy, something waaaay cheaper…can the rest of us have some fun too?….yeah but no but no…obvs 🙄

Your list is tosh.

Truth hurts.

Those prisoners were released in the six months before the election.

Well, yes they will be dying. But that will bring down the benefits bill by the back door. There’s a £22bn black hole to fill donchya know !!

Yes I’m really not sure many of the “pros” on the list are:in fact pros?

Taylor Swift tickets anyone ????

This thread is insane. You can not judge a government of 2-3 months as incompetent or corrupt.

The press in the uk are right wing. They are stoking up a scandal where there is none. Everything starmer is being accused of has been done, excused and mostly ignored before by the conservative party. But when Labour does similar to a much less degree and it becomes a huge ridiculous scandal.

The covid enquiry results are out. There will be more consquences of the conservative negligence / mismanagement coming to light. There is a dying conservative party. And most importantly there will tax reforms.

People are getting stupidly angry about declared clothes and stuff (did you care how much individual tories spend their money on and what - when they actually did declare it?). The general public is being manipulated by much much richer and more powerful people. They are just useful idiots.

I believe all this whipped up shit is to show kier starmer how they can turn public opinion if he tries to take their money (and hide and / or transfer blame of more tory fuck ups when they come to light). And most of the pps on this thread are falling for it. Think your life has got suddenly much worse now (in the last 2 months since labour got in [moron emoij])? Wait and see what happens if the tories get in again.

There is more to come out and a potential court case against Starmer.

British governments seem very good at being dishonest and incompetent.

Yes I’m really not sure many of the “pros” on the list are:in fact pros?

They're not. If they were Starmer wouldn't be doing so badly already

They knew it was and is unlikely to happen. He was meeting with business leaders and going to Rupert Murdoch’s parties prior to the election in order to court them.

What he publicly said was going to happen is not going to be the same thing that was stated in private conversations.

Really can you say why?

They are from where I’m sitting.

Rosie Duffield is no great loss.

Same and Labour faithfuls were so bad at accepting it

No fucking shit indeed

I’ll leave you with some bedtime reading

Hear hear.

Such baloney

Do you seriously not see the utter hypocrisy?

Blatant whataboutery here. The poster you’re trying to patronise is absolutely right. Where are the female Labour Party leaders? No such thing. Do as I say not as I do - that’s the labour motto.

His assertion that the broadest shoulders will bear the biggest burden is already coming unglued. It’s the poorest and most vulnerable who have no voice who will, as they have for the last 14 years, bear the brunt of the cuts - which is what’s coming in October. Labour were vociferous in their condemnation of the sick and disabled who were demonised by the Tory press in preparation for benefit cuts. Exactly the same thing is happening now on their watch because they’re the low hanging fruit who have borne the brunt of every single round of welfare reform.

He broke laws which others faced long trials about and which had far less evidence.

It looks like he:

1. lied about over £100k or electoral expenditure (the Tory MP who beat Farage was in court for an allegation about much less than this)
2. His address (that's a court case in itself - see the electoral commission opinion against UKIP on this issue)
3. Hosted top secret talks at a multi millionaire donate house with government officials
4. Did all this whilst being a barrister.

The guy broke multiple laws knowingly and doesn't care because he thinks the law doesn't apply to him.

They do count, they show how much support there might be for a new movement to represent them.

The problem is he still thinks like a prosecutor.

I remember listening to a programme on radio 4 about KS before he came to power and someone political said we needed to look to his start in politics. His views at Uni were very hardline and nothing like the Blair lite idealism I think people were expecting. The guy said we'd all be surprised at what he stood for. I wish I could remember more of it as he was exactly right.

He's just as bad as the Tories.

Wanker.

All of the gifts Keir Starmer had accepted have been within the rules, unlike many in the previous administration. There is hypocrisy, but not his, it is the Tory press.
