Keir Starmer's values - tell it as it isn't



Starmer 'won't quit as PM' even if Labour hammered in local elections


Sir Keir Starmer will not resign even if Labour suffers very heavy losses at the May local elections, says a Cabinet minister.

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds braced the party for dismal results in just over a month’s time, stressing many people may use the elections to voice a “protest” vote in the cost-of-living crisis deepening due to Donald Trump’s Iran war...

Sir Keir was pledging to “fight for our values” in an increasingly volatile world as he kicks off Labour’s local election campaign on Monday in the West Midlands.


By gum, "Sir" Keir Starmer seems intent on using the Iran war to present himself as some kind of aloof statesman as his piercing gaze penetrates the fog of war through Lord Alli's special spectacles.

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds is confused though. She may not have noticed, being too busy fixing the environment, but Labour was extremely unpopular long before the Iran conflict.

Something else Emma may not have noticed is that it is Labour policies which have been busily damaging the UK economy and Donald Trump isn't the UK Prime Minister - "Sir" Keir Starmer is.

Crikey! I thought Theresa May was a 'limpet politician' - almost impossible to dislodge. Stumbler takes it to a new level. Although perhaps others, fearful for their own jobs, may be more motivated?

DJ - maybe nobody wants the job with such a long run before the next GE. The party is a lumbering, fractious beast to turn around too, especially from such a low point. Potential challengers may prefer Starmer's reputation to fall even further before they push hard.

I would be interested in knowing what "our values" are, according to Starmer.
Tolerance no doubt.
The inborn acceptance to being royally shafted by the gov and it's imported savages, without complaint.

Starmer's idea of making mare khaaaaaaaaaan a 'lord' just means that we see even more manic obsession with power than in any other politician in the UK!

Is he a flight risk yet?

Mike - yes, we are only supposed to have one value - "Suck it up."

Scrobs - yes it's no solution, he'll be even worse.
