Starmer's cabinet is comedy gold

A day after the rail re-nationalisation bill passed, much of it her own work, and following the 1.6 billion injection to restore the bus network, it can't be her lack of ability or loyalty.

Was the transport minister 'thrown under a bus'? Not tory enough for Starmer, her replacement looks very 'blairish'.

She looks 'leftie' and may even be a socialist, heaven forbid in a labour government.

For a change one can sympathise with a politician, pleaded guilty for a minor offence her explanation satisfied the court and 11 years ago, everybody has something in their past they regret.

But can you imagine if this had been the Tories! Hang drawn and quartered wouldnā€™t have been enough for the left
 
Starmers cabinet is comedy gold šŸ¤—

Just seen that Vonos has posted another joke thread , can reply with thrust šŸ¤”

Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are out for a
stroll in town one day. As they walk, they come across a sign: "Beauty
contest for the most beautiful woman in the world."
"I'm entering" says Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her,
"Well, how did you do?"
"First Place," says Snow White.

They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest
for the strongest man in the world."
"I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour he returns and they ask him, "How
did you make out?" "First Place," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"

They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"Pinocchio says "this is mine"Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?" they ask.
"Who the hell is Rachel Reeves asks Pinocchio

Whatā€™s your theory on Lammy being given the job of foreign secretary then? He must be academically pretty good but lacks a lot of other intelligence.


That's an excellent question. Because its clear he has not got it due to his deep knowledge of foreign affairs. Not got a clue. Its possible that given the instability of the world at the moment, they wanted to put somebody in situ who could be easily replaced but....nah. Stumped on that one. Perhaps we need to come at this from a different, and potentially more scary angle. Who should be doing the job?

The only other names mentioned seem to have been Douglas Alexander and David Miliband.

He isnā€™t at all bright, academically or otherwise. He is totally out of his depth and he is very aware of it. All he wants to do is get back to his LBC presenting job as heā€™s more interested in that than being the Countryā€™s second most important diplomat.

Mhmmm. David Miliband would be an interesting choice. Have to pull the same stunt they did with Cameron with the Lordship but possible. He is pure deep state, has previous experience in the role and has global links. Be interesting to see if this happens.

Been seeing some interesting chatter though about the 'why now' for this link about Miss O2. Seems there could be a push for the third-runway at Heathrow as some kind of flag-ship project, portraying Labour as being all about stimulating the economy (which it would). And Haigh seens a potential problem with that. Possible.

Also that entire 'burying bad news' narrative makes sense on a day like this with this Killing Old People vote.

Starmer has said that Lammy will have the job for 5 years which is a pretty risky forecast - and not only for the fact that he'll have to deal with Trump before long and the comments he's made in the past won't have been forgotten.

I canā€™t stand him as a politician but tbf he mustā€™ve been academically bright to get to Harvard and heā€™s actually not bad on his radio programme, probably because he has quite a few conservatives in his family and tones out his lefty rants and outbursts.

A 3rd runway? So more planes = more passenger tax. What about the net zero we are being bombarded with? Only when it suits
 
Emma Thompson can fly 5000 miles to take part in a climate protest to warn others about flying off on holiday and it's all fine. Greta Thunberg sails across the Atlantic to reduce her carbon footprint then someone else has to fly across to collect the boat. Brilliant.

The so called voice of a generation is done. Within the Green movement she is no longer listened to and the media has now started ignoring her.

Partly this is because she is growing up, so a 21yo is not nearly as interesting as a teenager. She can no longer get a free ride from the press with saying stupid things knowing the media wont attack her because she was a schoolgirl.

But the main reason she's done is she has now started campaigning for Palestine at Green events. This has annoyed her fellow Greens as it takes the focus away from the environment. Of course she may have decided to transition from Green politics to real politics but she doesn't have the track record or gravitas.

Yesterday's news.
