The declowning begins



Keir Starmer UN speech - live: PM to meet Donald Trump before tonight’s address amid Middle East conflict

Sir Keir Starmer is set to meet Donald Trump in New York before delivering a speech to world leaders at the UN General Assembly.

As part of a raft of bilateral meetings, he will discuss ongoing conflicts between Israel, Lebanon and Palestine with world leaders and US presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

The prime minister will use tonight’s address to say that the UK is returning to “responsible global leadership” because it is in British interests to address problems around the world.


An attempt to declown "Sir" Keir Starmer which may or may not be successful, it depends how his speech goes. 

Obviously “responsible global leadership” is the latest wheeze of Team Starmer, probably dreamed up while on the way there. Maybe he could try responsible national leadership first though - just a suggestion.

Coulrophobia - fear of clowns.

I imagine there's a crack(ed) team of political minions holding meetings about how to tackle this unwarented world threatening oppression. Circuses to post trigger warnings. Inserts into educational courses. LGBTQIA_C.

Ah, so given the successes he's failed to achieve so far they're trying to make Stalin look relevant by sending him and a busload of fellow travellers to the irrelevant Untidy Nations . . .

Countries deemed to be "far right" will be looking at a couple of years in jail, and there's a billion Chinese heat pumps to install.

DJ - I think I'm developing coulrophobia, wondering what they might get up to next and if they really intend to throw buckets of rubbish at us.

Jannie - yes it's a transparent attempt to resurrect Keir Starmerde before he begins to decay. I like Untidy Nations - might pinch that.

Sam - yes, failed on the small stage but spout the same nonsense on a bigger stage and it's not nonsense but global statesmanship.

What we need to do is make Starmer as irrelevant to the functioning of the British public as he is on the world stage.

Tammly - yes, it's about time we had a leadership challenge too.

God, I hate such stuff as 'the UK is returning to “responsible global leadership”'.

Foreign diplomats and pols must fight to suppress a guffaw. Personally I long to see us returning to looking after our own bailiwick, but competently for a change.

dearieme - yes there is a touch of bonkers fantasy in there, well worth a chorus of guffaws. I hope it doesn't imply some bonkers military fantasies too.
