Re: What is Starmerism?

Yes, Starmer is evil. Yes, he’s stupid, clueless, incompetent, out of his depth, unprincipled and dangerous.* But he’s still a human being. Give him the opportunity to quit, he’ll be much happier.

Of course, if Rayner replaces him…she’s also evil and dangerous. But not stupid. Worst of all is that she has principles, the evil and dangerous principles of that idiot layabout and scrounger Karl Marx.

* All perfectly obvious beforehand.

Karl Marx.

He fell into bad company and stopped shaving altogether, especially after meeting the ultra-bourgeois  Friedrich Engels

The most unpleasant politician, Mandelson, gone. The Prince of Darkness is not being resurrected from this one.

Everyone enjoying our government? It won’t make much of a movie, as everything has been predictable from the moment Starmer became Labour leader.

Still, a magnificent European Commissioner.

BTW is he still a St. Catherine's donor.
