Just pondering on the next headline our fabulous press will come up with next!

Anyone else have any good headlines?

I didn’t care for Cummings but the way the press camped outside his family home was bordering on full on stalking and harassment.

Well, if anything happens to Larry it will obviously be Keirs fault for introducing a new cat to Downing Street. In fact, given his age I would imagine that Keirs premiership will outlive Larry so he will definitely be blamed for his demise….If Victoria is, as I assume she is, still working for the NHS there will be complaints about the extra security it is costing. Either way, you’ll hear it here first because gransnet seems to be the place to be for all things Keir bashing! Just waiting to see how long it is before someone thinks up another anti Keir thread sad.

Surely not following a PM and a 🐷

The fabulous press, as in imaginary, not existing in real life, don't need to come up with any more fabulous headlines because so far, they are all true.

Just waiting for the headline which says Labour wants ten years in power before calling for the next election….. ten year parliament.

Maybe "Keir Starmer's banned XL Bully Dogs ate my Hamster" he, Sir Keir's gnashers don't look up to it! and it seems Lord Alli didn't include emergency dentistry in his package.

What about ‘Starmer accepts £20, 000 worth of accommodation so son can study in peace’. Not in the same class as Starmer ate my hamster, I will admit.

If this is true, is there no one in the LP that can save Starmer from himself?

I would love to know exactly how Lord Alli has influenced Labour policy and how he will in the future. That’s the real question?

Smileless2012 Wed 25-Sept-24 13:11:39

Exactly eazybee.

Unfortunately for KS only 3 months into his role things are looking bad.He’s providing headlines so papers and the Opposition don’t have to do a thing.

Spinnaker Wed 25-Sept-24 13:24:04

He's like the gift that keeps on giving as far as providing headlines grin

But it isn’t true, still don’t let facts get in the way of Starmer Bashing (next event at the Olympics?)

I heard that Starmer's hamster is going to eat all your children.

ronib Wed 25-Sept-24 13:49:26

No don’t be silly growstuff it’s only the kids in private schools ….

Starmer has played into the hands of the media who are lapping it up (as well as Gransnet.)
The freebies for politicians has gone on for a long time. It's not right but Labour aren't the only ones who have benefitted. It must have been so much easier for a PM in years gone by before internet and everyone being open to view.
I do think that too much focus on things like this and little things like a mis said word detracts from more serious things happening.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 25-Sept-24 13:57:29

I will say it again, Starmer fan grans really need to grow thicker skins.

I have always voted Conservative (wouldn’t if Liz Truss was in charge) Tory voters and my party have been vilified since GNs inception.

I am not a blind follower criticised when I thought they were wrong, and sucked up all the jibes some were at times very personal (to MPs, and GN members who owned up to being a blue), it’s par for the course.

Your man wanted and got the top job and he and you will just have to accept that everything he does and says will be under micro scrutiny, and rightly so.

If you are finding it uncomfortable, well gird your loins only another four years and nine months until the next election…

Rumours of Taylor Swifts involvement abound......

He already has eaten my children! And his hamster was a donation!

Well who needs American Taylor Swift when they have British Elton John on board?

Not to mention Neil Amin-Smith, Rachel Reeves' trusted adviser?

It certainly does!

Sorry Cossy, what are you saying isn’t true?

I do think Prince the Kitten is merely a front for the covertly owned but extremely savage XL Bullies, Karl and Marx supplied to the PM by a LP donor who he acquired from front row lobbyists at the LP Conference, "Death Dogs Are Us", after all we've all been warned there's worse to come! Allegedly Karl and Marx are partial to sausages, vast quantities of them and I can only conclude that the need for industrial supplies of porkies was on Sir Keir's mind when he made his gaffe. With all that in mind I can't help thinking the kitten is a bit of a ruse, Sir Keir having been advised to give the nation a temporary feel good factor, which he has done by posing along side his fluffy new kitten, with a hint of a smile to reassure us it's not all bad but equally balanced by wearing his very smart donated new spectacles to give us a vision of a man who has some serious decisions to make in the unleashing of hell to come.

😂 I think Larry is dealing with the kitten. 😾
