One For Gulliver And His Red Or Pink Friends To Read!

[DTCwordfan]

A rational and well-reasoned article by Camilla Tominey as to why on earth Gulliver's beloved Sir KS has gone running off to visit the Germans.....

The one thing that I would also add to the equation and the article is that the German economy could be in even more trouble when it has to face the next Euro debt crisis, the Italians up the proverbial creek without much of a paddle as inflation bites there and the bail out is needed.

Who should Sir K turn to? surely not the Mad Macron - or he could snuggle up to Putain?

Those Barclay brothers, living together in tax exile on a tiny island, would direct their journalists on the Telegraph to be ultra fair, right?

[FatticusInch]

Deranged. The fallout and sanctions since the invasion of Ukraine has clearly shown that the Conservative party has far more dirty money passing through London/deeper and binding ties with Russians than Starmer or even Corbyn could have dreamt of.

Remind me again who appointed a Lord, son of a former KGB chief to the upper chamber against the advice of the security services? The advice that he will not publish, despite repeated calls to do so?
Furthermore, which Foreign Secretary went directly from a NATO summit to a private meeting with said former KGB chief in Italy, against all advice, protocol and no security service personnel just a month after the Salisbury poisoning?
Do tell?!

Not that the Labour Party have their organs, sandy!

And Fatticus, answer the question about why KS is visiting a failing politican and with a weak and highly risky economy as Herr Scholz is supposedly stewarding?

Maybe he's only obeying orders.

Camilla's article begins..."Whenever I listen to Keir Starmer, it always reminds me to stock up on Beechams Powders. What on earth is going on inside his schnoz? Perhaps he has a couple of paginated bundles left up there from his old Director of Public Prosecution days. His adenoids seem to be as enlarged as his sense of self-righteousness...."
Can an article written in such a tone carry any sort of respect from an untelligent reader?

//untelligent reader//

Another Freudian indicator?

Apart from my finger slip, do you think that attacking someone's nasal properties amounts to an intelligent argument?

[Peter Pedant]

barred

pinko wet frenz I think is the thatcher phrase

yeah I smell a rat ( wivv ma schozz - she said it first miss!)

[Deskdiary]

I hate to break it to Fatticusinch, but Blair welcomed Russian money, and encouraged it, long before the Tories.

An inconvenient, but conveniently ignored, truth.

carry on reading, Atheist.....It's saturday and so why not a bit of hype for the first couple of paras.....and it's not as if the other papers don't go in for a bit of verbal argy-bargy.

[Atheist]

DTC; I don't accept that "a bit of hype" in the opening paragraph is OK. It taints all that follows.

I like a question that starts with a joke. She mainly writes toadying pieces on the Royal family most of the time. The ‘article’ is behind a paywall, so I was spared having to read it. The opening paragraph about SKS and his nose was enough. He is leader of the Opposition and the UK is out of the EU, so whatever he is doing in Germany, it will have no effect on us in the UK. The General election is years off, and Labour probably will not win, so why the Daily Telegraph is getting itself in a lather about what Starmer does on his holidays is a complete mystery?

No mystery. With Boris's departure he's having trouble containing his excitement. He's off playing the international diplomat to talk about Brexit and the Ukraine and is setting his stall.

//Sir Keir Starmer believes for the first time he will become the PM now Boris Johnson has been ousted…..

One source told The Times: “He always felt that with Boris in place, Labour would end up losing.

“Despite the sleaze, he thought that by 2024 it would have faded into the background and Labour would struggle to win back the seats in the north and Midlands that it lost in 2019. That’s now changed.”

Another shadow cabinet minister said: “They are going to tear themselves apart more brutally than we ever could.” //

And 'another shadow cabinet minister' is absolutely right. In hounding Boris out of office the Conservative government has done a Samson and Delilah and succeeded in destroying its own strength. Fools all.

[Gromit]

// The meeting came ahead of an expected confidence vote in the House of Commons on Monday which could see a general election triggered. //

Labour are no where near a fit state where they are electable. Starmer is just as deluded as Corbyn was in 2019 when he signed up for a landslide defeat election.

Didnt COB go to Germany for his hols (with Abbott and a motorbike) ?

[Gromit]

It is not usual for parties in opposition to go to countries where the governing power is from a similar politic persuasion.
Penny Mordant got Dubya elected in the US :-)
