Why is Johnson more popular than Starmer?

Boris is a dangerous individual. He’s selfish in family matters and I can’t understand why anyone voted for him or his party. Make no mistake it is his party.
How could anyone trust our country to that man who is a compulsive cheat to his many wives and numerous children.
He has a great difficulty answering direct questions and avoids everything honest.
He needs prayers.

I think it’s because pleasant and articulate as Starmer is….he has not really said what he will do to rectify what Johnson does…just criticises….. does he have a plan?!

Johnson-Charismatic but a ruthless liar.

The other one, instantly forgettable, no positive ideas, always moaning but no solutions.

I think either you’ve misread articles or papers have printed inaccurate information about Mrs Starmer’s role greenlady102. She is a lawyer, but she does work for the NHS - in Occupational Health, not Occupational Therapy. That has never been hidden from the public.

I just don't like Starmer! He comes across as very sly to me, there's something there that I just can't put my finger on. He is also as dull as dishwater.

those "occupational health" articles used to say Occupational Therapy" also I still wonder what she does. Occy Health don't employ lawyers and she is actually currently (or was when I checked) not registered to practice law either. I can't believe she is working in a low paying admin role and as I said has no clinical qualtification...oh and PS she isn't Mrs Starmer, she is Lady Victoria Starmer.

Oakdryad I believe You.Gov is owned by a Tory so not sure it can be relied on.

Nobody can be sly and dull as ditchwater at the same time though sharonarnott. By being sly you remove yourself from the dull as ditchwater category!

But even YouGov has Starmer ahead.

Occupational Health at Regional level does employ lawyers greenlady102. They work on complex employment cases related to staff sickness and fitness to work. All regions have a solicitor’s department.

Johnson has got things done, whereas Starmer just whines and whinges constantly about the tories rather than tell us what he could get done.

Errrmmm ... why does it matter what her correct form of address is? When the Duchess of Kent was working in a school, she asked to be called "Mrs Kent".

I've just written a post (but deleted it) saying exactly the same thing.

So Starmer is simultaneously not much of an opposition or else he constantly complains about the current government.

He should pop over to the "inventions" thread - he's discovered a way of being two exactly diametrically opposite people both at the same time.

Why anybody likes this bumbling scruffy egocentric man is beyond me, he can not complete a proper sentence without either waffle or lying. Nothing he says can be believed. Kier Starmmer always sounds more calm and measured when speaking probably because of his background. I won't say which side of the political spectrum I am on?

Galaxy, how is Boris Johnson damaged??
The only thing that is damaged is his morality.

I never ceased to be mystified by women who seem to adore a man (Johnson) whose has written repeatedly about his contempt for the women who vote for him and his party. He has written several times that Conservative women are his porky stooges. Why love a man who abuses you?

starmer is a kneeler and a sit on the fence only knows what to say after the event in hindsight

God knows! I, personally, know nobody who likes him.
Today's PMQ session has unearthed a new slogan. Apparently he's going to 'put his arms round people' who are suffering in the current financial situation.
If he tries that with me he's going to be in severe pain.
How is he still in power?

He put his arms round care home residents too.

Captain Hindsight.. Labour don't stand a chance with him steering the ship.. We are all Doomed!

kevincharley I heard that too and switched the TV off in disgust. He can look forward to putting his ams around tens of thousands of corpses later this year, elderly people dead from hypothermia. 9000 died last year. 30000 this while he and Sunak squabble over what to do?

i think Johnson has special needs and needs a carer. how many people can get annoyed with somebody that has special needs? it is easier to dislike somebody that is capable of actions without a carer. I could never vote Tory but even I can't get angry at Johnson despite the fact he is not honest or trustworthy.

Is this a parody account?

Is he? I’m am mystified that any sentient adult female (whatever their usual political preferences) could support Mr Johnson. Apart from his proven lies in previous jobs (sacked twice for lying) and the obvious lies in his current position, he is completely relaxed about reneging on international treaties and breaking the law “in a limited way” (breaking the law in a limited way is a bit like being “slightly” pregnant). I also find his philandering extremely distasteful. Apart from the trail of mistresses and children, he deserted his former wife for the current incumbent (young enough to be his daughter) while the former wife was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. He is beyond a complete sh!t and I am embarrassed to have such an amoral nasty piece of work representing my country around the world.
