For those of you who think Angela Rayner is common and not a lady, how about this from Boris Johnson.

As well as the racist connotations of the name change (and don’t forget Mrs. Starmer is Jewish), I find the rest of the words quoted by the mail in their headline quite offensive.

Thus was published by a newspaper owned by the Rothermere family. Thought Hitler was a great chap and warned of floods of Jews coming to Britain. Now they are simply content with not paying any taxes in the UK.

Still happy to put money in their non domiciled pockets?

As for Johnson, more of his offensive "look at me" nonsense. Back off mate, nobody cares what you think.

I care not for anything Johnson says or does. He’s reverting to his pre politics journalistic days where he slated people of different ethnicities on several occasion. He’s an odious, arrogant twit and the thought that some of the electorate actually want him back as PM is frankly horrifying!

It appears the pound shop Trump is still craving attention.

Plenty of fans here. But they've moved on to Nige now.

He isn’t necessarily done yet though.

Gauke theory is

Tories loose massively Patel gets leadership and brings in Johnson and Farage.

The bad blood between Boris Johnson and kier Starmer is personal.
Carrie Johnson was a victim of John Worboys.

What had that to do with Starmer?

Unacceptable.

Boris Johnson was and is, a self serving, lying con man, masking it all behind a contrived facade of “man of the people”.

His only talent was fooling so many for so long.

If people are still listening to him, then that says more about them than anyone else.🙄

Just when you think he can’t get any worse …

Gawd! What a terrifying thought!

winterwhite Sun 09-Jun-24 18:22:51

Good grief! Where and when did BJ say this?

MaizieD Sun 09-Jun-24 18:23:07

I thought Johnson had a lifetime ban from the Parliamentary Estate. How could an Opposition leader bring him back into the parliamentary party?

I suspect that, like many, many people, Starmer disliked Johnson for being a lying, corrupt individual without a shred of integrity.

Oh you mean a little like the people who “blame” Starmer for Saville! It’s awful to smear someone like this!

Wyllow3 Sun 09-Jun-24 18:27:20

The actual article - If Raynor had used those word there would be an uproar and you can be sure the Mail would have done a shock horror on it the next

Wyllow3 Sun 09-Jun-24 18:33:37

BJ is obsessed with Brexit still. The article was sheer bitter about what got took away from him and lies!.

Deedaa Sun 09-Jun-24 20:12:50

I'm sure most of us remember the "Letterboxes" and "Piccaninnies" so it comes as no surprise. I do object to him dragging poor Larry into it.

Dinahmo Sun 09-Jun-24 20:16:29

Just seen the above Willow3 Thank you for that. I'd no idea that he was still working as a sort of journo. It's appalling and I just don't understand how anyone can still admire/support him.

Thank you Whitewavemark2
It never ceases to amaze me that people repeat nonsense about Starmer being responsible for Saville and Warboys

Crikey, the clash of the egos! Actually, my money would be on Patel of the three, I think she is more devious than the other two, and less likely to let a motormouth spoil her chances.

(The picture I printed was thanks to nandalot in the O/P. If you go to the O/P reference and enlarge you can read what BJ wrote in detail)

That sounds quite likely, the Tories seem to think we’ll put up with any old Prime Minister they care to foist on us!
