Keir starmer is dead in the water

Bertiebiscuit · 04/02/2026 22:21

The UK cannot have a prime minister who gave a plum job to a man when all the time he knew that Mandelson was still close friends with an ex-con who was convicted for trafficking children for sexual abuse. Starmer is destroying the reputation of the UK, he is an embarrassment and shoukd resign, if not the Labour party should demand his resignation.

There are some weird bullying vibes on this thread. It's like walking back into the school playground.

Insults are coming from one place. I think they’re unnecessary but you do you.

Doubt it, the momentum is gone.

Really Labour have agreed that all electronic communications and minutes of all meetings between Lord Mandelson and ministers, Government officials and special advisers during his time as Ambassador will be published, unless the security commission say it is against the British Interest. If there isn't some problematic information for Starmer in that mountain of documentation I would be amazed.

Interested enough to get involved and to bring up other insults that aren’t even on this thread even though no one here has used them 🤷‍♀️

Why do you need people to help you out on other terms anyway. If you want to speak up about them go for it in the places you see them. You have the ability to do so.

Notice you didn’t say anything when a poster on this thread called Tory and Labour voters ’the most pestilential rats vying for the filthiest spot on the stinkiest shitheap at the dump.’

I haven’t insulted anyone, I saw a pile-on against Alexandra for a mild comment and called it out.

Who said ‘There are some remarkably one-eyed, bovine Labourites.’ then?

Pile on? What are you talking about?

I’m not marking the Internet, if you want to call out that post go for it. Don’t look to me, you have the ability too, you’re grand, you can do it.

As for calling stuff out I saw @DenizenOfAisleOfShamefrustration and understood it.

Oh I SEE! You've got in a muddle again. Alexandra had complained about me on another thread being rude, as I had said someone else was in cloud cuckoo land. She said I was being rude. So I was quite pleased when she was similarly mildly rude on this thread. Hence me mentioning it.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick again!

Frustration with what? What are you talking about?

No one is looking to you, you are the one who said 'insults are coming from one place', which is clearly a lie.

I have seen this loads of places but can't find anything factual either way. Do we have any evidence?

It wasn’t a company. It was a one man band.

I have no idea what you're talking about, I haven't seen any other threads with either you or Alexandra on them.

No I know. Thats why I let you know why I "called Alexandra out" (hideous expression) initially on her comment being rude about Tory supporters. Which is what you seem to have got agitated by.

Im just letting you know it was just teasing. But carry on being angry if you like.

Boris was still worse and he clung on for ages, its looking dire for Starmer but I wouldn't write him off just yet.

What did he do which was worse than this?

Kicked out all his decent one nation MPs, attempted to prorogue parliament, allowed parties in Downing Street during lockdown, lied to the Queen - and just about everyone else, allowed Cummings to treat No10 as his own private fiefdom. Is that enough for you? There’s plenty more where that came from.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Mandelson is or has ever been prime minister.

You are correct. He was merely a senior cabinet minister leaking state secrets which helped a prolific sex offender fund his network of abuse. So I guess that ok then.
