He’s a very serious lawyer. It’s exactly this kind of emotionless and forensic approach to governing that is why we’ve not been sucked into the yank’s idiotic war in Iran.We've had far worse Prime Ministers than Starmer, but where Starmer really fails is as a politician. He appears for all the world like a man without a constituency, either in his party or in the country. It's not necessary for a Prime Minster to be in tune with the whole country, Thatcher never was, but they have to be in tune with a significant portion of it and Starmer simply isn't.
Starmer would be adequate as a steady hand on the tiller in cosier less fractious times, but we don't live in those times. When he speaks it's toe curling stuff, it's as if he's addressing a country that exists only in his head.
You don’t want to get drawn in because you cannot substantiate your claim.I'm not getting drawn into this. Dismiss my comments as irrelevant as you wish. I am sure that's where your head is at anyway.

He’s shit at comms but when it comes to big decisions like this, you want someone who’s going to examine the details like this.
He’s done more good than bad and he’s better than any of the alternatives.

That's not a bad shout.Would make a fantastic foreign secretary and that’s it.
No, I'm just not prepared to do your Googling for you. It's a pointless exercise since there are no conceivable circumstances where you might say ok fair enough. Why don't you do a bit of googling if you're genuinely interested. I realise you are not.You don’t want to get drawn in because you cannot substantiate your claim.
I think if you’re being honest with yourself, you would acknowledge your post was speculative at best
Probably correct. The problem though is that most politicians, including Starmer, are quite happy to knife other politicians in the back if it suits their own progression. They cannot then stand up with any authority and say "it's so unfair".He’s a very serious lawyer.

He’s basically crap at politics, which makes sense when you consider his background is in law and he was effectively a civil servant as chief prosecutor.Probably correct.

It doesn’t reflect particularly well on you that in spite of meeting lots of people with views right as cross the political spectrum that you’ve ended up lending your support to the bunch of fascists known as Advance UK, a group that makes Farage look like Corbyn.Not really mate. I frequent lots of forums, meet lots of people with different views. But the prevalent view on this forum is very left leaning, and significantly out of whack with the mood of the general public. Of course there are regional and demographic variances. Younger people tend to be more supportive of Starmer (less hostile would be closer to it since no age group think he's doing a good job) and older people even more critical.
That's the reality. It's only those on here who fail to see it and cling to this idea that everything is OK. I'd get the same impressions if I visited Socialist Worker forums as well though I guess.
How do you feel about him saying (in terms) “I will always take responsibility for the mistakes of those in any organisation I lead”, and then doing the exact opposite?He’s basically crap at politics, which makes sense when you consider his background is in law and he was effectively a civil servant as chief prosecutor.
The positives of this have shown through with Iran and his quite remarkable international diplomacy from day one, and the negatives have shown through with his shit management of staff, domestic political issues and comms.
I disagree with all of the above. There’s nothing remotely fascist about Ben Habib and you would know that if you knew anything about him at all. Ironically the true fascists are the rent-a-mob protestors funded by some left wing nut jobs (I cannot remember which) who are bussed around the country to counter protest or try to disrupt any Advance UK meeting.It doesn’t reflect particularly well on you that in spite of meeting lots of people with views right as cross the political spectrum that you’ve ended up lending your support to the bunch of fascists known as Advance UK, a group that makes Farage look like Corbyn.
PMQ’s have never really been ‘questions’. It’s always been a pissing content and the ‘questions’ are always just the opposition’s debating points.It's always gone on on both sides of the political divide but I get really frustrated at Prime Minister's Questions. I watch it quite often and I'm staggered that Mr. Starmer NEVER answers any questions unless they're from a Labour backbencher praising him. We might as well scrap the whole thing or get a speaker who will insist that questions are answered.
You made an outrageous claim but cannot substantiate it when asked.No, I'm just not prepared to do your Googling for you. It's a pointless exercise since there are no conceivable circumstances where you might say ok fair enough. Why don't you do a bit of googling if you're genuinely interested. I realise you are not.
In which case you should get checked out for dementia.How do you feel about him saying (in terms) “I will always take responsibility for the mistakes of those in any organisation I lead”, and then doing the exact opposite?
You see this is one of the fundamental reasons I dislike the bloke so intensely, and it’s not because he’s fired so many people. No, it’s because there seems to be absolutely zero connection between the words that he freely utters and what he genuinely thinks or plans to do. He basically says any old shite to suit whatever situation he happens to find himself in.
Once you have spotted this, it’s impossible to ignore. He has more “top priorities” than anyone I know. In front of a crowd complaining about energy bills and you can be sure “getting bills down is my top priority”. In front of Rolls-Royce works it will be “defence is my top priority”.
It’s become a standing joke in our household. Every day is some new hollow set of words bla bla bla that mean absolutely zilch to him but he says them anyway to try to sound good or deflect some criticism.
He’s more full of shite than any politician I can remember, and that is quite a feat.
Is chippy Tommy Robinson or whatever name the crook goes under these days .That’s ironic coming from someone who is a self confessed supporter of a party that’s to the right of Reform.
Anyway, haven’t you got a roundabout to paint?
Yaxley is too much of a lefty for Chippy to be him.Is chippy Tommy Robinson or whatever name the crook goes under these days .
Oh someone like Farage/Trump more in line with chippy politics.Yaxley is too much of a lefty for Chippy to be him.
Lets wait and see what the piblic think on 7th May. That will tell all.You should stop listening only in the lefty echo chamber you seem to inhabit and get out a listen to the public mate.
