AIBU to say it isn't unexpected, or a surprise?

So what?

I am a Reform voter and I think Starmer is a plonker.

Seems I'm not alone.....

Erm, yeah. You might have to do a bit more reading and comprehension.

(in terms of the thread of messages that lead me to that point, I mean. To help you out…).

Labour government.

Anti corruption minister resigns because of….corruption.
Anti homeless minister resigns because of…..making tenants homeless.
Housing minister resigns for…..not paying house tax.
Transport minister resigns for….fraudulent insurance claims. Damn, she really let the side down. She should have stolen some trains or something.

😄😃

She's still an MP - unless she has a more lucrative sideline.

She wasn’t the Foreign Minister so I doubt she came into contact with many. Most people who meet her say she’s highly intelligent, quick witted, astute and authentic. She can hold her own in parliamentary debate and leave her opponent standing. Apparently the King is very taken with her.

Are we even talking about the same person? She is painfully inarticulate and her grammar is poor.

You do realise that most parliamentary 'debate' is heavily scripted? If she had to genuinely extemporise she would sink like a stone.

simplesimoneatspie · 05/09/2025 21:47

No class, morals or integrity. To think she ever got as far as she did just shows how corrupt our country has become.

Listen to her Rest is Politics interview. She’s far from inarticulate. I fear you’re allowing your snobbery to cloud your judgement.

And parliamentary debate isn’t “scripted”.

Articulate. Haha hilarious.

EchoedSilence · 05/09/2025 21:50

She needed to resign because she fucked up. Not because she was Northern and WC as much as some think only the elite are fit to be in government.

Cameron absolutely shafted this country.

As I have tried to explain simply, but not simply enough it seems, the world did not start to go wrong with Cameron, it was happening long before that!

Well the King married an airhead first time, so he probably feels at home.

I’d say that a lot of the mess we’re currently in began with Thatcher.

Salary drop as MP. Perhaps unlikely to be parachuted to safe seat at next GE, maybe out.

Bless you. So naive.

OhShesSweetButAPsycho · 05/09/2025 21:55

Greedy maggot. She should have bought a cheaper flat and then she could afford to
pay her taxes / stamp duty.
She is still going to work as an MP so she will still get a wage. No sympathy from me.

The Guardian published one opinion. Other teachers had other opinions, which they didn't print.

1 “foreign” isn't a race. His partner is a foreigner.
2 Corbyn considered Gerry Adams and Hezbollah his friends; does that make him a terrorist? Abbott is consistently anti-white. We have MPs who are more concerned with politics in Gaza than the UK. Is it bad that a politician wants to prevent forced diversity through high immigration, given that politicians around the world largely have that aim?
3 It’s an actual photo. What can be positively spun about the actual photo? Would a different caption have helped, or do you just think that the proles shouldn’t see actual footage of issues?
4 No idea about wither of those, sorry, but given the current administration’s anti-Israel stance are they any better?

Is there a difference between nationalism and racism? Most countries (other than some in the EU) are primarily nationalist. Many countries which are considered stable and successful, such as Japan, Norway, Finland, Iceland, are quite nationalistic first.

  1. she is. But she’s white isn’t she. It’s specifically people with brown skin he has a problem with.
  2. No.
  3. Try reading this.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Point_(UKIP_poster) it was a real photo. In a different country.
  4. let’s agree to disagree. I consider the current government fairly pro-Israel. They’re meeting a senior politician who is accused of war crimes and being complicit in the genoicide.

In my view: nationalism is abhorrent. Racism is abhorrent. Neither has any place in the uk.

I could not be happier about this. She has always been a grifter. And as thick as pigshit.

Really? The definition of pig shit??

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 05/09/2025 21:21

You’re going to have to explain that.
Given I have already stated, clearly, I am a Labour voter and I think Farage is a grifter.

Aww come on now, play the game, explain - I’ve got a stinking cold and need to go to sleep…do tell…
