Whatever do they mean?



Keir Starmer should be inspired by Biden - not Blair, TUC chief declares

Labour leader Keir Starmer should look to Joe Biden for inspiration rather than Tony Blair, TUC leader Frances O'Grady has said.

The general secretary of the trades union group said endemic low-pay and insecure jobs must be replaced with a "new age of dignity and security at work", and that post-Covid Mr Starmer should emulate the US President's approach to "levelling up".



Presumably they don't mean Sir Keir should go senile and rig the next general election. What else though? Can't arrange an absurd shambles in Afghanistan as Joe has already done that so what's left? Global laughing stock?

I think the only remaining salient characteristics are letting anyone into the country and sniffing children's hair.

He'd better not check his watch at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.

"new age of dignity and security at work"

So buggy whip makers and gas mantle manufacturing operatives have jobs for life, filling bigger and bigger warehouses with unwanted and outdated technology?

Sam - he'll certainly favour the first of those.

decnine - maybe Joe was wondering if his watch would tell him what to do next.

DJ - although I'm not sure how many would opt for Joe Biden's version of dignity.
