Starmer’s a decent bloke!

Just remind me how many elections Labours most popular leader’ lost?

The Laabour party and the establishment sabotaged the election to get rid of him. Party membership was the highest it had ever been and he came within 2500 votes of winning the election. It is well established (with evidence) that there was a dirty tricks campaign against him. He is too much in favour of policies to benefit ordinary people for the political vultures to tolerate. But hey, if you prefer politicians that make the rich richer at the expense of the poor and vulnerable in our society, vote Labour or Conservative - there’s not a fag paper of separation between them

So I might as well just vote Conservative and let things continue as they are now then?

Definitely! Reneging on all of his promises when seeking leadership. Hounding out of the party the most popular leader Labour has ever had, and many other faithful members. U-turning on virtually evety major policy a nnouncement. And 100% support for Israel’s genocidal war, for christ’s sake! Not a scrap of decency in him.

Starmer seems wobbly on defining what a woman is. 😳

😁

We won’t cancel each other out - we are on opposite sides of the awful M60

We do Iam just a shame they’re not all in one party that we could get behind! They’re scattered about between all parties - so you pays your money and takes your chance.

I think it started with Trump and his ‘fake news’ response to anything critical. Johnson continued this move away from decency and integrity. We’ve been somehow moved to the nonsense position that ‘they’re all the same’
No they aren’t, we have some decent MPs

I think decency and integrity matter immensely in politics. I'm afraid we've become far too acceptant of the alternative.

I am not sure that being a decent bloke necessarily qualifies you to lead the country.

It's a darned sight better than the dishonest shower we have been lumbered with for the last decade or so.

For me the bottom line now is a hint of integrity.

I have never found Sunak to be a decent person, even when he was a Chancellor. He’s always come across, to me, as a snake oil salesman.

But, we all view people differently. 🙂

If he's a decent bloke, he's in the wrong job!

“Starmer is a decent man. He’s a decent party leader. I hope he’ll be a decent prime minister”

Agreed Iam64. I think he will be a good PM, because I genuinely believe he’ll put country first, party second. This is what we’ve been lacking for the past 14 years (perhaps with the brief exception of Theresa May)!

Starmer is a decent man. He’s a decent party leader. I hope he’ll be a decent prime minister

Let’s hope he gets the chance eh!

Starmer is a decent man (although a boring orator).
Sunak is decent too.
I just don’t want either of them.

Starmer is a decent man. He’s a decent party leader. I hope he’ll be a decent prime minister

It was a cruel act that Sunak did to the Murray family, as if they haven't endured enough waiting and hurt.

Well, I’m tetchy, not perfect, but I think I’d be perfect at sorting out the Tory mess..😷🤐

Sunak promised the Murray family he’d sort out the bill - while knowing he wouldn’t be in a position to do so. 🙄

Slimy and deceptive.

Meanwhile, Starmer will do for me 😉

*2017 not 2010 don't know where my brain was there!

Does being tetchy mean you're not a decent person Casdon?

I guess it depends what you define as a decent person Smileless2012. It’s not what you’d call an endearing characteristic though.

random short stories about small acts of kindness by Starmer. what a pity he couldn't spare even one to support Rosie Duffield against the bullies in the party, or even invite her to the Kent election initiative, being as she was the only Kent MP (and has been since 2010) until the Elphicke defection from the Conservatives. Still I'm sure he's planning on a photo opportunity with Rosie very soon, similar to the one with Elphicke.
