Abandoning the EU for one thing, but we all know my position on that and I'm aware of your views too. But he's going to have to offer them things for this to work - and I'd go so far as to say that they will have to be things of actual substance. This is what concerns me. I mean I guess there's a reality here where apart from betraying remainers, he does nothing else whatsoever to appease social conservatives - in which case fine, but the whole strategy is doomed to fail, making his displays rather pointless. Do you think these working class leave voters are going to vote for him just because he stands in front of the fucking flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're now very politically aware compared to a few years ago, and therefore much less likely to pay attention to platitudes. And those who aren't informed probably couldn't even pick Starmer out of a line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean someone who engages in PR campaigns against his personal beliefs. A man without conviction. Did anyone actually see the party political broadcast on Tuesday? If you had replaced Starmer with a more charismatic bombastic "Boris" it would have been fine as a tory broadcast. Whatever else is said about Blair, "A man without conviction" would be the ultimate definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30642 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We're in the middle of a pandemic that's killed over 100,000 Britons so far, businesses are going bust and jobs are being lost every single day due to covid and Brexit. Let's take a peek to see what they're doing about it in parliament: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where he got this from but James O'Brien said this morning that out of all hospital admissions due to covid in the last 12 months one third were in the calender month of January 2021 Thats what you get when you have a prime minister who doesn't like to give out bad news 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I see Darren Grimes is out on his arse after applying for a job at GB News, an actual posh person got the job. They’ve been laughing at him all along, now 27 years old grimes is moving back in with mam and dad. What a prick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 523 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 One of those weird coincidences but that tool bought something from where I work a little while ago, naturally curiosity got the better of me and had a snoop at the rental costs of where he lived. Varied from £2.5k-£3k a month, presumably he thought the grift was never going to end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
