Keir Starmer

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Yeah well it will be taking your job so I guess you would feel like that.

Not with my personality and relationships which are as strong as anyone’s I’d say. Not remotely worried.

Others have plenty to worry about though.

I reckon his job is probably close to last on the list of what AI will replace.

The higher the stakes, the less AI will be relied upon without at least human monitoring.

Administration, graphic design, copywriting, marketing etc. will go first.

The legal profession will still have humans even when AI is decades on from now.

Funnily enough was discussing this with a colleague earlier. It will definitely impact hugely on plenty, especially pen pushers but unless and until AI can usurp personal relationships and generate high levels of trust and confidence at the coal face then anyone whose work is built upon those things will be fine - for the foreseeable at least.

Sounds like there is a stalker who doesn’t like people having a different opinion. Let me guess errr a leftie

It's such weird / stalkish behaviour when posters who disagree with your opinion start checking your post history. You would think people have better things to do.

A solicitor that we used earlier this year sent us a letter that my friend said he recognised immediately was written by AI.

He’s fucked and he needs to set a timetable for departure around Conference. Enough time for Burnham to find a “safe” seat.

I feel really sorry for him. He’s a good man with good intentions and not a piss head, **** or fraudster like our last few PMs (Sunak aside actually. I quite liked him too and he too was on a hiding to nothing).

History will be very kind to Starmer but this country is full of morons.

I don't think they're all morons. I think a lot of them are spoonfed what they should think, though.

That’s fair.

But I’m frustrated with just how dim witted and incapable of critical thinking so many people are.

You obviously didn't read the Jess Phillips statement

I’m not for a minute comparing our jobs, yours far more impressive, but as a recruitment consultant the first question my close clients asks about a candidate is “what’s he like?”.

AI will never be trusted for that, not in my working life anyway.

And you can multiply that factor by many times in your profession.

Keir Starmer and Labour got absolutely roasted by Badenoch.... absolutely hammered. I'm only sorry I could only listed to it and not see it. In summary it sounds like all the faces on the Labour front bench looked like smacked arses.... she really went to town on him. I listened to his response and the only thing that came to mind was Liz Truss by way of being a wet lettuce, sorrowful.

He is certainly not a leader or an orator of any note.

I'm afraid for all you Starmer lovers out there his time is up, his race is run... HE IS TOAST!

Now we’ve seen your opinion I think it’s safe to say Starmer’s job is secure for the foreseeable future.

Forgive me if I quote you on this.... if your perception about Starmer is as good as it was about Labour then I think he'll be quaking in his boots (he should be), he might as well throw in the towel now.

Not for this thread, and certainly the personal risk depends very much on how old you are.

But we have to get our heads around the fact that AI will take *everyone's* job eventually. There will be no requirement for CEOs, let alone top lawyers or even lawyers. It's coming and nothing is going to stop it. Skilled manual jobs have perhaps a decade's grace.

I would draw zero comfort from this personal relationship angle when the counterpart your customer/supplier is using an AI. That makes no sense.

An AI CEO will steer the company and make the big calls, AI CFO manage the cash flow etc Ai sales bots write the proposals, AI procurement bots select the solution and negotiate terms and AI lawyers negotiate contracts. No humans involved.

The cost of AI is going to boom, particularly for enterprise. They’re selling a loss leader at the moment to build reliance.

Enterprise size companies are using AI as an excuse to lay people off, with the real intention to improve the bottom line and create a false sense of security/ manipulate the stock market.

Longer term (but not too much longer) when AI costs catch up they’ll be an almighty bust to the current boom in AI and the ill affects of that will cascade downwards.

For office jobs I think roles where you solve complex problems, innovate, manage relationships and products should be safe for a long time.

Companies that exist without IP, irreplaceable services or are not data controllers are in big trouble.

If Badenoch was capable of constructive thought as opposed to simply presenting the thoughts of her speech writers, she might fulfil a useful purpose.

The fact that she was elected by the spineless individuals in the party as the best option, demonstrates the level of dross the tory party has arrived at.

They cannot blame the loss of the defectors to Reform as the reason, because they left to try and give themselves an undeserved 2nd chance, because none of them were considered a better option than Badenoch !

So having been inept in a party thrashed in GE, after many years of mismanagement and protection for the richest in society, these lightweights and shysters opted to move to Reform, a party lead by a grifter and ally of Putin.

The tories and Badenoch have absolutely fuck all to crow about.

That’s because your people skills are manifestly less well developed than mine.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Oh so that’s it then! We are all entitled to our views, I have no time for modern politics, for me the Tories & Labour are cheeks off the same arse, they are both pro mass immigration, both pro EU.
I grew up in the 70’s we had a Labour Party that represented the working class. We do not have that today. North London liberal elites like Starmer who haven’t got any connection with the working class, indeed they have no idea at all of the ambitions & aspirations of the working classes.
I will give you some advice too. Starting a post about debate with a sentence that effectively shuts down debate is passive aggressive & if you want to carry on debating intelligently you need to lose this confrontational attitude.

Define working class in 2026. It’s most of the country.

 

[borassic]

Streeting would be fuckin horrendous. Starmer mk2

 

[cookster]

Maybe you could ask the 17.4 million people that voted to leave, the largest vote in any UK election.

The vast majority of them would buy magic beans from the grifting **** Farage.

I know where you are coming from. When I was a kid working class would be guys with flat caps & Daily Mirrors clutched in hand with a Park Drive cigarette in the other hand. These days it’s people who depend on a job & working for a living. You could be churlish & say the 9 million not in employment, education or training (NEETS) are definitely not working class.
