Starmer knowingly appointed a security risk to one of the highest diplomatic posts the nation has an gave him privileged access to classified information. Mandelson literally sold state secrets to Epstein and has a lot of dodgy links to China and Russia. That is an unforgiving lapse in judgement. Boris being ambushed with cake pales in comparison to the amount of damage someone like Mandelson has done and could continue to do in the position he was appointed to.
The cake business wasn’t the issue. This is pushed as a means to suggest the poor thing was so badly treated . The cake didn’t bring him down it was all the other stuff happening under his watch .
But the point is that Boris didn't actually go to any of those parties, at least that's what was discovered from actual evidence. The only thing that happened when Boris was actually there was the cake thing. And even then Boris actually resigned. So you know he took accountability for that. When has Starmer taken accountability for his failures?
I’m not defending Starmer but I just don’t hate him. I loathe Johnson for a variety of reasons and he was a national embarrassment. Sunak I thought was pretty decent , May believed in public service , the less said about Truss the better!
Good morning.
What I so dislike about Starmer is that he and his Government reneged on many, some would say most, of their manifesto and certainly virtually every precept of the Labour movement. They postured at being right-wing tough tories, including the execrable Rachel-from-Accounts, whilst all the while managing to shit on business. It's quite staggering how inept AND unfair AND dishonest they have managed to be. And Starmer has a deeply unpleasant habit of shafting anyone and everyone, whilst failing to own up to his own mistakes, lying through his teeth, and not helping his cause by droning on in monotonous platitudes.
That is why I have been seething with him and them for the past 2 years, and hence my venom about Wes Streeting which @Sunil_Prasannan misquoted back at me (slightly infelicitously if I may say). Labour were elected on an already feeble share of the vote but there's a reason why that has all-but-halved now in the opinion polls. People like me are fuming at what has happened. If you vote Labour you do at least expect to get something approximating to it, not a Tory-Lite actually Tory-Shite version.
Remember: unlike many people on this forum I voted Labour last time, which probably also explains things. In fact I wasn't just fuming. I was deeply embarrassed that I could have been so fooled by these shysters. I'm still not done with my anger at them.
I'd rather have a wolf than a wolf in sheep's clothing
Back to Burnham. He's the only reason I would ever consider voting Labour again. I like the guy a lot. He might just bring me back on board, especially if that stops Farage-Badenoch.
So, what you're saying is that clothing matters to you?
And just because a wolf chose to wear the garb of a sheep would make you treat it differently.
Well, shame on you.
😉
Your sartorialism reminds me that I really must go and see Devil Wears Prada 2. I loved the first one so much that I've held back until now for fear of ruining the original.
I'm deliberately not watching it. The first one was a classic but from the plot and the reviews and the clips the second one just doesn't "get" the first one.
