Sir Keir Starmer...

[PSQ]

I thought the normal way for a Trade Union to lose money for a while was to lend it's leader a huge amount of money to buy a very nice flat in London? *cough* Len McCluskey *cough*.

Reminds me of the late Bob Crow (RMT):

Bob Crow has defended living in a council house despite earning £145,000 annually.
The general secretary of the rail union RMT was challenged during a radio interview as to why he still lived in social housing instead of a private home when he earned such a generous salary.
During the heated discussion, Mr Crow told LBC 97.3 presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer he had “no moral duty” to move out of the property and purchase his own home, adding: “I was born in a council house, as far as I’m concerned I will die in one.”
He said he was being "victimised" even though he is "the only one down my road who pays their rent".
He argued that if he did move he would be seen as having deserted his working class roots. “If I moved out of my house tomorrow the first thing you’d say is Comrade Crow leaves his roots,” he said.

Bob Crow really was a complete cock gobbler. Any excuse for a strike when he was in charge of the RMT.

I suspect being a socialist goes with the job.

A bit like being an incompetent idiot now seems to go with being the leader of the Conservative party. At least with the last five anyway.

Hopefully over-privileged, lying tosspot won't become a permanent requirement of the post either.

Yes being a socialist would be a reasonable requirement to fill that role, not sure a title fits that well though.

As for idiocy, you do recall that the Labour Party have had the illustrious list of: Jeremy Corbyn, Ed Miliband, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, John Smith (?), Neil Kinnock and Michael Foot... don't you?

Not really fair. All of those had IQs at least in double figures. Mostly. Sometimes.

Ed Milliband could have been an excellent leader, if he'd got a good chance at it.

Yes, if only he had been elected leader of a national political party and then had the chance to lead it in to a General Election...

If they had chosen the right brother labour would have stood a good chance, Ed was a very poor second

Yeah I do agree,but I think he's come into his own now.

I don't think he should have resigned after the election loss.

Sir Keir Starmer probably has his own new nickname for Boris ,'Fatboy Slim'.
After all he is the master of mixed up messages .

Heard stammer called that several weeks ago, by Mike Graham on Talk Radio.

 

[7610 super q]

The rot set in for Labour when the imperial leaders like Foot got changed to metric leaders like Milliband.

Clearly then, Boris has a sideline in prepping some of the talk-media...


Anyway, it will now be more widely known.
