Maybe things can't only get better for Keir Starmer, as he is shamed with the latest polling just as the Labour conference begins

Absolutely mental.

Kier is boring, has floated some things that the electorate doesn't like (e.g. taking WFA away from the wealthy), and has done a very poor job highlighting the good that this government is doing, but is he fuck worse than Boris, Truss, or even Sunak.

People need to get some damn perspective.

Kier is boring

You'd think he'd at least be a bit more lively, with all that powder up his nose.

Remember the 107th rule of acquisition: Win or lose, there's always Huyperian Beetle Snuff

Sunak and Kier seem like a wash almost.

Oh c'mon, he's no where near that bad.

It should be noted that The Canary is still fuming that Corbyn didn't get a third attempt to lose to the Tories.

I didn't vote for Starmer. I voted for Labour. If he's ineffective, replace him with somebody better equipped to deal with the threat of Reform.

I live in a shithole town with a migrant hotel, and let me tell you, this place will vote Reform next time. I'm sure sticking them there was cheaper than building proper facilities and hiring an appropriate number of people to process them and handle any needed deportations, but the cost of Reform will dwarf that.

I am sure purging all the leftists and reformers out of the left Center option was the better strategy, on the backs of openly false allegations at that. /s

Labor is a fucking joke and it's going to hand England to the far right that will fix themselves into Power with the help of the US and Russia, same as macron is going to hand over france, and Europe is going to fall like fucking Domino's to Fascist governments because we have all allowed conservatives to seize our mainstream political parties and Ratchet privilege to the plutocracy. The only reform option is the far right.

The moderate left fully surrendered to every issue to the right, all in the name of "electability" and "incremental process to socialism", they chose fascism over being perceived as "pro-russian" and "tankies"

I for one welcome our new racist overlords in 2029... 😞🤢

I still prefer him to the previous administration. He isn't really making things much worse except from the digital ID thing. Isn't making things much better either.

The Internet Wanking License hasn't been a clear winner either. He voted against that when the Tories were in power, then flipped when they realised they'd be the ones doing all the spying. Wait until Farage gets in and uses that to collect a list of rainbow flag people to bully once he's done with the brown people.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -1 points 1 week ago

That was put in place by the tories.

Also, licence*

Yank detected, opinion rejected

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

I'm with the septics on that one. Having licence instead of license but licensed instead of licenced is asinine.

What do you call making a masterbaitorbase and connecting ip and id and face to every single computer in a place any organized group could access.

Or cancelling the right to protest, forbidding defenses that acquit accused protesters, calling protesyers terrorists and equating the entire protest with the proscribed group?

You think things are fine? Jesus christ.

The second paragraph is using legislation implemented by the tories

Lets once again start telling each other, especially the young, often, the story of the boy who cried wolf.
