Blimey - he's off again



Focus of G20 trip will be to deliver ‘better future’ for Britain, Starmer says

The Prime Minister said his focus is delivering “a better future” for Britain as he set off for the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In a post on X, Sir Keir Starmer said: “My focus at the G20 summit this week is delivering for the British people.

“More jobs, more prosperity, more security. A better future for our country.”


Old Keir does like to give his carbon footprint a boost, but it's not easy to guess what he means here. 

His words could make some sense if he's planning to ditch Rachel Reivers and appoint someone who understands  “More jobs, more prosperity, more security. A better future for our country.”

Apparently he was a heavy user of chauffeured limousines while he was DPP. He must think of jets as an upgrade. Or maybe his wife wants him out of the house.

Could we get someone to make him stay there?

Anon - I wouldn't be surprised if his wife isn't keen on him being around the house.

Jannie - it's a case of finding someone who wants him. Not easy.

Not just any jam, Labour wonder jam, tomorrow. But perhaps no bread to put it on?

“More jobs, more prosperity, more security. A better future for our country.”

Democracy, where you have to appeal to as many voters as possible, necessitates the adoption of really simple and positive messages which bear no relation to reality. But surely there's got to be a point at which the baby-talk and fantasy starts to be counter productive. The majority start to reject it because they see through it.

Please, when do we hit that point? It's getting tedious. Even that phrase of the early 2000s, "Hard working families", is beginning to sound like a sophisticated political analysis.

DJ - Labour Wonder Jam, perfect for Wonderloaf and that special Net Zero dinner party you saved up for.

Sam - "The majority start to reject it because they see through it."

I'm sure you are right. I wonder if Labour bods notice the baby-talk as baby-talk? Captive audiences are a thing of the past and perhaps far more people notice the dumbing-down than political strategists suppose.

Perhaps he'll come back, looking tanned and well-fed, get interviewed at the airport and say "Crisis, what crisis?"

Then we'll know that 1979 really has come again.

Peter - he's just the kind of person who would say that too - Keir O'Blivious.
