Now for the next neoliberal corporate-whore who will continue sowing the seeds for fascism.

Oh no... Anyway

He hadn't done that already?

[-] Addv4@lemmy.world 35 points 4 weeks ago

No, he already announced he was standing down as PM (prime minister). What he is saying now is essentially "retiring from Parliament." Not super surprising, given he was quite literally the least popular PM of all time.

Even worse than the cabbage?

The head of Lettuce in question, enjoyed wide popularity. Way more than any of their politicians, not the least this starmer douchebag that was chosen because he's Israel's tool.

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 8 points 4 weeks ago

There's no way he was less popular than Truss or Thatcher.

I mean, it was supposedly from an ipsos poll, but he was maybe tied with them? I'm from the US looking in, but the general sentiment I always have heard was that he started out claiming to fix the issues the Tories caused, but backpedaled hard and ignored the wants of basically everyone in the voting base. This obviously backfired so badly that it messed up a lot of down ballot support for labour in the last elections, enough that the party basically had to force him out (behind the scenes obviously, labour didn't wanna seem "weak") and get Andy Burnham in (probably the most popular labour politician currently) to stop the bleeding.

so far...

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

He really did suck so much more than even I though he would, and that is saying a lot.

Starmer took an overwhelming electoral victory and progressive mandate and transformed it into conservative pandering and regression. Truly an unbelievable performance. Im wishing him a very shame

My damage here is done. Welp, time to take my pension and get that sweet, sweet board of directors cash as I crush the lives of people in the private sector now.

[-] supersquirrel@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago

Who is this guy again? I swear I have seen his face before.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's the guy that jacks off behind the bleachers at the high school soccer games. PM stands for pedophile masterbaitor I believe. Or is it public masterbaitor, both fit.

Look at his stupid face though, it has pedophile written all over it. This man fucks children, or at the very least protects those that do.

Zack Polanski wants to run in that seat?

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck you starmer you hack. You will go down in history as a main factor in the decline and fall of western civilization. Fuck you, and fuck Israel you fucking cunt.

[-] what@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Keir Starmer is a clever person but is not a refined politician. In fact, the world could do with more people like that. What is "refinement" in those terms? Spin doctor? Manipulation? Entertainment?

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

This guy did everything the well-paid moderate consultants wanted, why didn't it work out?
