Keir Starmer

[Saddleworth2]

The world is crying out for boring, intelligent, empathetic leaders with a soupçon of charisma.

Not saying Starmer is the ideal choice for this, but he’s higher on the list than Johnson. By default.

He also talked about basing treasury spend on well-being outcomes. Straight from the Ardern NZ playbook. Not saying its wrong btw. Think it’s positive.

One was a crap lawyer and a good public speaker, the other a first class lawyer and a shit public speaker. It just comes across as wooden and insincere.

Starmer a class lawyer?
A lot of people falsely accused of sexual offences would disagree.

Boring is certainly applicable to Starmer,charisma unfortunately isn't.

Boring trumps bloviating buffoon though, for me.

Reminds me of Trump or Biden.

Indeed it does
