Kier Starmer

[Paigntonian]

What on earth is he thinking? He says if he receives a FPN he'll resign. Farewell then his 'vision' for Britain. But if he is not served with a FPN he'll carry on. So how does this ridiculous stunt further Labour prospects?

[mushroom25]

it's a glove slap to Boris.

"I'm prepared to do the right thing. why are you not prepared to do the fright thing?"

[Paigntonian]

Now the dreadful Rayner says she'll resign if she receives a FPN. You can't make it up.

[ToraToraTora]

"it's a glove slap to Boris. " - Boris has said he's not resigning neither has he called for Rodders to resign. He's painted himself into a corner here and put his fate into the hands of plod.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't want GOAS to go, I was hoping she'd be the new leader!

[Paigntonian]

Tora: No he hasn't. It's Starmer and Rayner who have dropped themselves in the doo-doos.

[Paigntonian]

Just when they've got Boris on the ropes Labour get it wrong yet again. Morons.

Justice system not to your liking Paigntonian, sorry, I meant ToraToraTora?
It’s almost impossible to separate the two of you when posting pretty much the same posts.
You sound like Dorries and Johnson when they were tweeting verbatim in tandem.

But surely they've only got it wrong if they're issued with FPNs?

I guess he realises that there are many who could perform leader of the opposition equally well on his party. So offering to go isn't such a big deal. Whereas the government has the issue that those able to do as well as Boris as PM have steadfastly avoided tossing their hat into the ring, and/or aren't presently an elected MP.

He won’t be missed. Good riddance to him and his vision for Britain. Plonker.

Those able to do as well as Johnson as PM have already gained fame and infamy. Their surnames are Wisdom, Drake and Chaplin.
Following Johnson and making a fist of it is currently the easiest job in politics.
You just have to tell the truth when pressed and be of reasonably good character.
Oh and don’t have Russians as part of your inner circle.

I am minded to agree with some opinions - that Starmer sees the way the wind is blowing.

It's pretty clear that he is not going to be the leader who takes Labour into the next election.

This may be a way of him salvaging what's left of what ever was once any dignity he ever had, and walking off into the sunset.

I’ve no idea what his vision for Britain was.
Whatever it was or is it has to be better than the worst cost of living crisis for 70 years, a government administration mired in law-breaking and tax avoidance, questionable links with Russians, astronomical fuel and utility bill costs and a dire economic growth forecast, in fact it’s expected to shrink very shortly. Is this really what we were expecting from the Johnson cabinet? If any of that is incorrect I’m more than happy for you to point out where I’m mistaken.

I hope he stays, not because I am a Labour supporter but because many of the alternatives are much worse. I could see a few Corbyn supporters jockeying for control

[ToraToraTora]

Abacus and Cobstello could make a come back!

[naomi24]

DH, how odd. I wonder why you support him if you’ve no idea what his vision for Britain was? In fairness to you though I doubt anyone else has any idea either … probably because he’s spent his whole time as leader trashing Boris. Starmer has never actually said anything memorable - except when he admitted that he doesn’t know the difference between male and female. I imagine a lot of people will remember that - especially women.

Show me any post from this forum where I have stated I support Starmer?
Best of luck, you’re going to need it.
I’ve already said I’ve no problem with him and Rayner becoming sacrificial lambs.
I don’t have a blind loyalty to any politician as you have for Johnson.

[-SharonA-]

He is being honourable.

[DonkeyHoaty]

naomi24,
As you’re so enlightened, cascade the information you have and tell me what Starmer’s vision for Britain is but also Johnson’s, just to give us some perspective and ability to make a reasoned comparison?

[nailit]

I might come across as a bit thick here but whats a FPN?
(BTW, arnt they all pissinng in the same pot anyway?)
