Keir Starmer

That didn’t bring down Johnson, so why would that end Starmer? MPs can’t even call another MP a liar in Parliament. We found that out under the last government.

Who was the last “honest” prime minister, in your opinion?

By all accounts it was the lying that brought down Johnson.

Last honest prime mininster? Tricky, I would have said John Major but of course he had the affair with Edwina Currie so he must clearly have acted dishonestly there at some point, as well as being barking mad.

If it was the Who Wants to be a Millionnaire question and I had used my lifelines, I might say Liz Truss on the basis that she wasn't in long enough to tell many whoppers.

Actually, thinking about it, did Sunak lie much? I am not sure that would be high up on his list of failings.

It must be misfortune why they can’t make a living out of it then.

Ripping the piss out of everything at each opportunity is fun and can be a superb way of cutting through the bullshit.

Just look at how successful the Simpsons was.

But also note how popular it is now. It has a lifespan.

You don’t get to the top of the greasy pole without lying. They call it politics.
 
Is the best that the right wing media and the Tories on here can come up with is an evidence free insinuation that Starmer might be homosexual?
Talk about scraping the barrel.

Corbyn the IRA sympathiser, busy calling Hamas and Hezbollah his friends.

What a principled chap he is.

You do understand he was trying to achieve peace?

He had principles, you didn't like his principles. That's fair enough, even understandable. I think he was naive in some ways. He would not have made a good PM as he would not have been sufficiently pragmatic.

But the kind of people who get into power in this country tend to be lying cunts with no principles. We knowingly elect them, and then are surprised when we find they take bungs and arselick influential people.

We have only ourselves to blame for the type of men and women who 'succeed' in politics. Our only excuse is the power of the media and its lies. You can also argue that we, the electorate, expect too much. That we are not realistic enough. We ask people to do a very difficult job for relative buttons, then are surprised when they turn out not to be Gandhi. It's a shit job. You get paid far more in the private sector for half the responsibility. Hell, you even get paid more in the civil service for little less responsibility. But in the private sector or civil service you will not be lampooned every day in the press, nor will your personal habits and manner of dress be dissected and mocked.
