There is something desperately odd about Sir Keir Starmer’s version of political discourse. Everything he says seems to be out of sync with reality, limited to a weird little world of inadequate words and phrases, conveying nothing of substance or interest.
What did Starmer say yesterday, last week, last year? Who cares? Phrases emitted and forgotten, but many other politicians are equally limited. It all makes for a curiously remote and disconnected political arena, a graveyard of deceit, falsehood and implausible expectations .
Has the traditional reliance on political slogans, soundbites and cliché become obsolete? Possibly - perhaps the internet and AI have destroyed it, because many senior UK politicians obviously struggle with their attempts to persuade.
Whatever Starmer and his senior colleagues say within their curiously restricted world of political discourse, voters merely have to browse online for –
Better Ideas

Weird little words
Oh, what I'd give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those weird little words

Weird little words
Ten little letters
Which simply mean I loathe you
That thing about never losing a fight, of never quitting as he has a mandate to fulfil ... bizarre. Dreams how he'd like it to be and therefore that's how it is. Mentally ill?
dearieme - I had to look that up via Microsoft Bing.
James - it is bizarre. He doesn't seem to be complete mentally, as if he is always talking to a mirror, not other people.
