Easternstandard, you haven't answered my question.

I will be clearer.

Do you think prurient speculation of Starmers sexuality is fair game or not? A simple yes or no is all that is needed.

You said ‘a politician’ in your pp. Now you’ve said more I assume you mean the court case coming up? I’m not on X I don’t see it, it’s of no interest to me and no I don’t think it’s relevant for him either. If he goes it should be due to political failings not personal gossip.

Sure I do think that, I didn’t say exceptionally ugly though for any Labour politician, good job with the AS 😬

I think pretending that someone refusing to comment on someone's appearance but instead calling their actions "exceptionally ugly" is somehow beyond the level of your very recent posts is pretty pathetic, tbh. The topic of a few pages ago - accountability - is one you might consider familiarising yourself with.

Ok I mean whatever although I am wondering how you AS as you did, that took commitment to find a couple of lines.

Come again?

Brexit, obviously. We don’t have the right to live and work freely within the EU anymore thanks to him - and now he’s the one who could potentially make us need that freedom more than ever before

I searched your username, and the keyword "Starmer", and your posts calling him a sneering bully and a craven prick were both on the first two pages of results.

That's hardly a commitment and trying to deflect with "ooo, you must have gone through a lot of effort to show what a rank hypocrite I am" is embarrassingly lame.

Blimey that’s lucky. Well done for bothering.

You know very well what I am talking about, which is why you won't give a simple yes or no answer.

You criticise @MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack for saying Jenrick's ugly actions make him appear physically ugly to her. But you quite happily say nothing at all when posters speculate about Starmer's private life and his marriage.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Searching a username to try and prove something is generally seen as bad form on MN.

I have been clear what’s the issue now? I’ve said it’s irrelevant and he shouldn’t be judged on it over his policies. Why are you coming back on this again, it’s hardly ambiguous.

So you'll challenge it next time someone calls Starmer a "vicious old queen"? That's good.

Challenge who? What are you reading that is needing me to step in, can’t you do it?

Miggledyhiggledy · 17/02/2026 21:17

Reading through this thread reminds me of the Handmaids tale. Dystopian England given to us by the left.

It really is. Reported some of it but doubt anything will happen.

HRTQueen · 17/02/2026 21:21

It won’t happen

Farage is an agitator he isn’t interested in being PM

I see that have made Robert Jenerick as their shadow chancellor 😆😆 having these ambitious Tory failures is obviously causing concern

won’t be long until there is party infighting for leadership and it’s not strong or members experienced enough as a party for this not to ruin their chances

not that Farage will care he will just form another party and start again

There is infighting in the CURRENT government. How about focusing on that.

Ok I don’t think I’ve ever used be kind but as long as you found it thrilling.

Miggledyhiggledy · 17/02/2026 21:27

I'm wondering if one can't handle the outcome of a GE, whether they are capable of voting in the first place. Meritocracy is a marvellous barometer but the left don't seem to care much for it.

I'm not even left wing, certainly not by modern measures.

I find it inexplicable that the modern right is so tolerant of the intellectually sub par within their own ranks yet so opposed to support in general for vulnerable people

I really wouldn’t worry about this because it’s not going to happen

I hope to god this is true, but I am reading a thread about charity funding on this site and it is full of people who sound like reform voters or people leaning that way. And I live somewhere with a Reform council, who are fucking useless, because the local hard of thinking felt that they needed a bunch of people with no track record for a fresh start. Its been an unmitigated balls up.
