‘I never thought I’d see a Labour PM more hated than Thatcher’: Sunderland local’s staggering claim
Keir Starmer is “more hated than Maggie Thatcher in Sunderland”, a local caulker burner has claimed on GB News.
Since his landslide election victory last year, the Labour Prime Minister has faced a tumultuous time in office, and now Gary McDonald has joined the chorus of growing dissatisfaction...
“I never thought in a place like Sunderland a Labour Prime Minister would be more hated than Maggie Thatcher.”
He continued: “I never thought I would hear that in my town. Sunderland is so Labour but he is more disliked than Maggie Thatcher ever was.

Margaret Thatcher: "The lady's not for turning"
Two Tier Keir: It's my way or the highway - unless you would rather I follow a different route.
I rather expect that people can respect determination even if they don't agree with it. Flip flop leadership - not so much.
DJ - yes, Starmer comes across as always liable to select crumbling hills to die on. Promoted way beyond his competence, clinging to dud ideologies, not even likeable, clearly dishonest - he's a disaster.
Aaaand then there is his Cabinet.
There must be a corollary to the Peter Principle which states that having attained the top job the incompetent leader must select as subordinates those even more incompetent than themselves.
Only the subordinate who is more cunning than the most cunning fox will pretend to be amazingly incompetant, gain the trust of the dear leader, and lead her/him/it/they to her/his/its/their doom. That would be Lammy.
Doonhamer - ah yes, his Cabinet - suggests there must be something in your idea of incompetents selecting incompetent subordinates. Why wouldn't they? Maybe incompetent subordinates also aspire to work for the incompetent manager in the next department because he/she takes the blame.
The old saying was "First class men hire first class men; Second class men hire Third class men." It presumably involved university degree classifications but the point is general.
dearieme - I'm not sure if I've heard that or not, but as you say the point is general. There is a cojones element, first class men are not afraid of talented competition from below.
That rules out Farage then.
Tammly - it could be a mistake to expect too much from Farage.
