Starmer being booed on the Royal Variety this evening.

[Netcurtainnelly]

When one of the Dead Ringers did an impression of Keir Starmer on the RVP tonight there was alot of booing.
ITV kept it in too.
How embarrassing for Starmer.

Says alot though about what people think of Starmer.😀

Well of course Tories are not extreme right wingers. 🙄

Part of Labour's biggest problem is that the people who rally for them have no language to talk civilly to people with different ideas.

I think a few posters get very invested in what ‘regulars’ think. And usually are off base on that anyway.

I agree with you on Starmer. He’s clearly very unlikeable for most, given polling.

100% Bravo!

Sorry, but what an extraordinary post.

Did you read what the PP wrote? All of which looks valid, and then some. Please do not diminish the very real impact this government’s policies are having on many people.

There will always be people that cant stand the PM and other politicians. I thought Boris was shit, and I think Farage is an opportunistic evil twunt in a bad suit. I would boo them, but some would cheer them. It's called politics.

A room full of people doesn't really represent the entire population.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence will realise that politicians aren't really in charge anyway. Why do you think we have a different party seemingly delivering more of the same?

People increasingly hate him. It's plain to see. It's there in the polls, the membership numbers, the booing and chants. It takes quite some denial to prevent everything is fine but even more to see how he is performing and hope he can be redeemed.

I would've 100% booed Boris.

Of coursed they are! Badenoch supports Elon Musk, a man who bank rolls Reform and Tommy Robinson.... denies young men are misogynistic or some are a threat to women, wants mass deportations, wants little or nothing to do with the EU, withdrawal of the welfare state, inc for the disabled, she is desperate to out Reform Reform!

The Tory party is far away from the Tories of David Cameron, let alone John Major.. who i voted for.. twice!

You should perhaps look at yourself in regard to that last sentence!

Oh, no worries then, Labour are golden. Nothing to see here.

Yep it’s all there. People think he’s doing well still, fine carry on as is. We’ll see what happens with leadership bids post May.

Good! The man is unfit for public office.

You see, I don’t believe that Starmer is a ‘decent bloke’.

It’s what he would have you believe. I don’t buy it.

I don't think you know what extreme right wing means, or rather you do and prefer that it looks like a woman who has no truck in pretending that all disagreeable opinions are tantamount to inciting violence.

Absolutely. The argument is already won. Starmer is hated and the unpopularity car crash is inevitable.

My understanding was that the audience booed both the performance and the content. In Spitting Image says, all politicians were fair meat regardless of party. I wouldn't read more into it than that

There is a reason his personal popularity rating is the worst of any PM since records began.

Perhaps some PP’s will disagree with the data, however…

The booing started the moment the voice was recognised and people laughed at the content - poking fun at the lack of Starmer's popularity. You can watch it here, it's pretty unambiguous.

I do think Starmer is a decent bloke in some ways. He helped the McDonald's two back in the day, for example.

The problem for me is that I don't really know what he stands for now and I wonder whether he knows? I don't despise him, but I don't particularly like him either.

A relative of mine reckons Starmer is an establishment stooge, planted to destroy the Labour party. It is very tin foil hat, but I do sometimes wonder...

He didn't seem very nice to me when he was shrugging his shoulders at the thought of the farmers contemplating suicide to protect the wellbeing of their farms before the new inheritance laws kick in. I'd say he looked pretty bloody callous about it all.

If Starmer is a Manchurian Candidate, how do you explain Reeves et al?

This really depends on your demographic - can assure you here where I am that whilst he may not be mega popular Farage would get way more boos -

But why though?

It’s possible! (Well, not really.).

Much more likely is that his ambition and some luck has landed him the top job and he’s discovered that he’s not very good at it…governing being a million miles away from party management and opposing a clapped-out administration.

I really think his problem is being politically talentless. Whatever qualities he’s got, they don’t include promoting a vision or leading by force of personality.

No surprise as to why.

Boo-ed, he,s lucky he wasnt on the recieving end of someones foot, the economy is in the gutter, everyone struggling like crazy, and what christmas? prices to high, nothing affordable,everyone on the tightest budget, no xmas parties, no groups in the street in their santa hats, our boss arranged our xmas night out with pie and peas instead of the usual 3 course turkey dinner, highly emvarrassing when dressed in glitter and glitz… the countrys in a mess
