Starmer's vision quest

[C R]

Cos Starmer's lost the farking plot. We thought we were getting a Labour Government, ideologically opposed to the previous administration. What we've got is low budget conservatism being run by people who are apparently clueless and running scared of people saying nasty things about them.

Some of us were concerned that this is what was hiding behind Starmer's apparent lack of a plan. It looks like we weren't completely wrong.

Except that isn't true.

Not noticed the NHS dentists suddenly appearing? Waiting lists dropping?

Where?

I've had to lock and bar the doors to stop them barging in and setting up shop in one of the living rooms.

Where?

Two in my small town alone.

Can you point to data showing that happening widely?

Are you sure they aren't Turkish barbers? The chairs are similar.

There is no data currently.

Only anecdata, then.

It's a bit comical that you're blaming The Madness of Donald on Starmer

Starmer has many deficits, first and foremost is that he is a poor communicator, but on Trump he is note perfect.

Trump and Vance are trolls and Starmer has stood his ground, and not only not taken the bait but not rolled over for the Americans.

Starmer has many deficits,

Time will tell if we can agree on the rest. Certainly the BBC are bigging up the UK role in the 'truce' as if it's a done deal.

I do find that weird though. As someone who worked professionally as a Barrister at QC level. You'd have thought he'd be an excellent communicator and interrogator, unflappable and secure. But...
