Starmer v Badenoch at PMQ’s yesterday

Marg75. Fully agree with you.

Me neither re Starmer. Can't stand the man or Labour tbh.

When I saw the name of this thread I just knew what the majority would be saying!

Have you forgotten that just 4 days after taking office they stopped the WFA, something they must have planned all along but didn't mention in their manifesto?

Starmer has done so many u-turns he must be dizzy - he has no political convictions, he is just interested in keeping his post as PM which is why he surrounds himself with incompetents such as Rayner, Lammy and Reeves.

Why is it wrong for Badenoch to have a second home but not for Rayner to claim expenses for living in one but in fact be living in another? Why was it OK for her to buy under the "Right to Buy" but she doesn't want anyone else to have that opportunity?

Why is it none of the Labour MPs I have contacted can tell me why they are happy to cut benefits for disabled people but do nothing about the £361 per day being paid to those who turn up at the House of Lords for a subsidised lunch, subsidised bar and a nap?

Why did none of them answer my question why they think someone with an income of £90,000 (an MPs salary) needs help with their energy costs but someone with an income of £12,000 doesn't!

Only your own constituency MP is obliged to reply to any letter/emails sent to them.

I wrote to the others because my own (Labour) MP didn't answer. She hasn't replied to any emails I have sent - seems she was only interested in my views when seeking my vote!

Cannot stand either!

Badenoch can't hold a candle to Sir Kier Starmer.

Nanna8 I love how you know so much about us from down under ! Your thoughts are to be admired given you have not lived here for a very long time! Starmer might be dull but he is intelligent as is proven at every PMQT
Wish I could say the same about your politicians and Badenoch! You seem to have a downer on the country that provided you with the opportunity to emigrate all those years ago! You know free education etc

So do I - well said Cossy
Starmer is genuine, has integrity, a good track record in his legal and now political work
He’s also the best prime minister we’ve had in over fourteen years

I agree. We in this country can sleep peacefully at night knowing we have a stable leader - unlike many people in America.

Didn’t Boris have some popularity at the 11 months mark?

Only from people who disregarded his behaviour and history

I really can’t see that Badenoch will be LOTO in three years time, probably less.

Some were fooled by his surface charm, even though he carried huge baggage from past misdemeanours.

That made me laugh out loud ronib, as what you suggest is the exact opposite of the approach taken by Starmer’s critics, including yourself - oh, the irony!

🤣🤣🤣

Maybe wait slightly longer than 11 months in the post before jumping to conclusions? To the Starmer fans …

I guess that also applies to the detractors.

To both your above posts Cossy.

Hear, hear Cossy. I second that!

So she can claim all those expenses for a house in the constituency … that she doesn’t even live in!!!

It’s bloody disgraceful!

I shall be very interested to see if Farage claims expenses for his Clacton house, which is purchased and in his current girlfriend’s name.

Another MP rarely there and never held surgeries nor ever will (stated by Farage)

Starmer has nothing going for him...apart from a stonkin' majority in the House of Commons.

In your (less than) humble opinion!

Many of us still have respect for Starmer, many of us believe he has “plenty going for him”

Imo, he’s measured, polite, well educated, with an understanding of “real” people as he had a pretty normal upbringing, he’s very bright.

I don’t need a flashy, gregarious, charismatic PM, I simply ask for a stable, sensible, safe pair of hands, and I truly believe this is Starmer.

Plus a great deal of integrity.
