Not a good poll for him though. Nearly half of Labour voters want him changed before the election. Admittedly half of those are wanting Burnham who is unavailable.

And the hur hur I called him Keith brigade are annoyed that a man spoke about the saddest moment in his life on a programme called Life Stories.

I much preferred this interview.


Show 227 - *Keir Starmer Live*
The Political Party

"This is the Labour leader as you've never heard him before. Appearing in front of a live audience for perhaps the first time since he took the job, Keir Starmer shares some hilarious stories from his time in law and politics. Including the full story of what happened when he met that pub landlord in Bath. He candidly reflects on his first year in charge and how he handles pressure, but also outlines his intentions for the future of the Labour Party and how he thinks they can win the next election. Oh and he also has a helpful tip for any budding impressionists who might do his voice on Spitting Image..."

Cue the Corbynistas whining about media bias because Magic Grandad wasn't invited on to talk about his gap years labouring on a communal farm in Bolivia.

Or his time at his private school, failing his A levels and dropping out of university because it was a bit hard.

Then we could get on to shagging anything with a pulse, the failed marriages and the time he spent as an ineffective local councillor. The only 'job' he has ever had.

And perhaps his thoughts on getting the media on his side.

I'll have a listen, but the most recent episode describes Andrea Leadsom as 'one of the brightest talents' in the Tory party. I mean, technically it could be true, I guess...

It's a deformation of the English character to judge always in relative, rather than absolute terms. Reduces the level of rigorous thought needed.

Who is this in reference to, other than Dianne Abbott. I assume you have a long list, otherwise this comes off as pretty fucking racist, which surely wouldn't be the case

So you did your little rant, realised you said the quiet part loud vis-à-vis his relationship with Abbott, and now you're just posting nonsense to dead cat your way out of it.
