Can Sir Keir Starmer revive the Labour Party? (Vol. 2)

[crankedup5]

Mention of Lammy yesterday and as if by magic he pops up today. True to form he wades in with what he considers, one would assume, to be a worthy contribution. Class distinction. . No wonder SKS has been keeping this clown tucked away out of the public eye, but he escaped and made full use of his time with divisive bad mouthing.

Impossible as PM. He'll be flat out all hours.

As usual the press have only reported half the story, if you listen to the original interview he came across very well (it was not political, just about him as a person)

It's not often I say this, but today I must your post has opened up possibilities in my head that only ytesterday would have been too much to hope for.
Is it the time for the Burgon to rise into government and put us back in the centre of international affairs ?
Is it time for Richard to be working closely with Angela?

Time4 the Burgon

For a moment there I thought S-Club Seven had reformed with Diane Abbott as manager

I make no critism, he's entitled to aspire to a decent work/life balance and I'm sure he and every voter knows it won't be possible.

So it's totally neutral.

CMD managed many holidays, as did Johnson.

I should think one "protected" night a week (unless emergency) with his family is doable. It would make anyone a much more rounded / content individual.

Anyone who mangles the comments into some sort of attack on Jews is quite frankly a moron.

You're probably right yetI can't help feel that had he said he likes to keep Sundays free to take his family to church, several dozen Tory MP's & as many braying right wing commentators wouldn't have jumped on it.

Sounds more like something you would expect to hear from Reform!

Let's hope it's a one-off and not the tip of an iceberg.

Brilliant ploy today. The Tories criticism of Starmer for saying he won't be working after 6pm Fridays CAN, if you look hard enough, and really twist, turn and torture the statement be construed as anti-semitic because of the relevance of Friday to his wife's faith.

And nobody thought about this....

....so the one thing they really had, the one stick they could pick up in case of emergency, the labour party's problematic relationship with this subject had been negated with one comment...

Does nobody in politics think anymore? Does nobody examine statements and advise, tactically?

Get POETS writ into law and I might give him a vote

He is simply trying to assimilate to being a ‘ordinary bloke’, much like the infamous ‘my father was a toolmaker’. We all know it’s political shallow diving, in this case it’s puddle stamping.

Haha lol. A Reformite has a problem with someone pretending to be a man of the people. I love you Crank, you're endless comedy gold.

[biggbn]

I honestly think it's comedy gold. Does nobody analyse what to say and when to say it. Its like giving a team that's 10-0 up in extra time a penalty and having two men sent off....

It's hilarious. I've just had a leaflet from Reform through the door.

It promises "Fair pay for a hard day's work.".

Me? Vote for a hard day's work? fk that.

Which is the party for giving it 50% and clocking off early when the sun's out?

He is not a problem for me at all, although I suspect that to ‘change’ this Friday. If one is a ‘D’ lister be prepared to open your hands, if you have worked and achieved be prepared to open your wallet.

He’s been doing it for years by all accounts and was raised quite innocuously.

But yeah, it’s only Farage that can do all this ‘man of the people’ stuff…

Both blokes are reasonably well off tbf. We all know this, but at least Farage drinks a pint of beer and not a bottle of lager.

Labour. But the 50% has to be in a soul destroying public sector job.

Farage only holds a pint of beer when there's a camera in front of him.

Locals in the village he lives in would dispute that he usually drinks beer. Why he has to hide the fact he prefers red wine I couldn't possbly say.

Most likely, I mean look at the evidence shall we, Farage hasn’t managed to develop a stonking great beer belly, or so it seems. It’s all about public perception for significant politicians. Harold Wilson and his famous pipe and beer in private he much prefered a cigar and drank spirits.
