Those are the eyes of someone who is worried. But about what? If he's worried that we will find out that he's incompetent then he can relax, we've known this for weeks. No, there is something else...
The eyes of a diabetic I suspect. Heading straight to the edge of the world, the wind in his sails and newspapers around the world printing postcards from his ego trip. I don’t like him. The fact that he got a kitten to No 10 while Larry is still there says it all…

Anyway, to me the main difference between the left mentality and right mentality is about breaking the rules: the righties make a lot of effort to steal, cheat and lie in the grey zone - if caught, they strongly believe in their innocence and fiercely argue clear objective facts. The left steals, cheats and lies because they don’t know the rules/are beyond them, but if caught they take the punishment on the chin and just wait for another chance.

I’ve fact checked and double fact checked, and, yes, he really did just say, that being PM is “much tougher than anything I've done before.” That is so stupid in a dozen different ways.

Which, if any, of the following will collapse and in what order?

VAT on private schools (legal challenges underway)
Free speech reversal (legal challenges)
Chagos Islands giveaway (Trump)
Inheritance Tax on farmers (Protests + J Clarkson)
National Insurance (pubs, hairdressers, charities,...)
Winter Fuel Allowance (after old people start dying)

Starmerism is telling porkies.

(That’s Cockney Rhyming Slang. Pork pies = lies. Not the more recent, Pork sausages = hostages.)
