Kier Starmer has apparently appointed Harriet Harman as his advisor on women and girls

he really really still doesn't get it does he?

I don't know the answers to Labour's challenges, but I'm pretty sure there is no question to which "send for Gordon and Harriet" is the answer.

Particularly not for the large swathes of the electorate who will not have the foggiest idea who they are.

You could almost be excused for thinking this world is controlled by satanist paedophiles.

Aliens are real btw..

It's like Polanski trying to shore up his standing with Green supporters by bringing back David Icke.

And it wouldn't completely surprise me if he did...

The electorate saying "we want change" and Starmer saying "I will bolster my position by appointing Labour grandees from 20 years ago" might be the most Starmer thing ever.

So very true.

I mean Harriet Harman in a role for women and children - it's just yet another poltical mistake.

Actually they were campaigning to reduce it to 10.

What an amazing career arc.
Apologist for pedophiles when working to help the PIE in early/mid 70s
To outspoken culture warrior for trans activism to the point she has nothing to say about Phillipson's obfuscation on the SC ruling
To "women's and girls' champion" as Starmer's new Anti Misogyny expert.
There aren't enough boggles in the world to comprehend this.
A half-century grift at the heart of The Process.

That is almost exactly what I was thinking

I'd read that but couldn't find the evidence (apart from it being a PIE demand).

Not sure which pp the bold part is from but so true.

Local elections - disastrous. Mostly due to Starmer loathing.

Ik a photo op with Gordon Brown should do it.

Despite having his arse kicked he still hasn’t got it- he’s still not listening - I’m starting to realise that he’s doing what he wants to do to the detriment of everyone else

Dear Goddess, the man is a complete plank.

SionnachRuadh · Today 15:39 post above - quoted above mine as well.

It just sums it up for me - I agreed with rest of the post as well but those lines perfectly capture the man.

"My father was a carpenter".

I think he wants to harden everyone who didn’t vote Labour this week into never doing so due to him.

Just bizarre how hard of hearing someone can be, it was a pretty big message of dislike.

Mine really was, and KS is still a plank

Wasn't his father a tool maker?
Very apt.

I’m a Labour activist (for my sins), and trying to explain to my local group why this is so problematic. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good sources about this?
With the best will in the world, why do you think Labour deserve your support?

I don’t think Gordon Brown was the answer even when it was his time

Yes, I read it too, but I haven't found corroboration except that Sky News have stated it as well (February 2014)

Just my little joke.
Btw, I love my carpenter.
I'm just not a fan of planks as PM.

i wonder which minister - Wes??

Can we ask the old lady of whom Gordon said "Who put me together with that bigoted woman?" what she thinks about this appointment?

Can we dare hope that's a light at the end of the tunnel and not a bloody train coming towards us.

Starmer has no ability to read the room at all. I’m quite prepared to believe he’s a competent lawyer and a decent person you’d be happy to have as a neighbour, but he’s an appalling politician with the charisma of one of his dads old tools. I was leaning towards leaving him as PM as realistically nothing is going to change with a change in leadership, but if we want to have any chance of a left of centre party with credibility of challenging Reform at the next GE then they at least need to give the impression they are actually in touch with working class voters and listening to what they say. And not dismissing them as bigoted FFS Gordon.

The only person in Labour with any chance of getting the public back on side in the short term is the King of the North Andy Burnham. I could live with him as PM, Starmer as Foreign Secretary given he seems to do quite well on international matters, and Milliband as Chancellor. Wes still has the aura of an NUS president and needs a few more years to get some gravitas but he’s certainly one to watch for the future.

Got a cold sweat as your post went on, lol.

Quite a lot of people have been softened up into ignoring reality by now. Such a suggestible audience is a gift to a hypnotist? Icke could be a shoo in.
