Starmer Out trending in the UK…fuck me. Tbf, I think it’s continuing to trend because people ridiculing it are also using the hashtag but dear me.
Did Hancock really say this?
Time for him to fuck off.

I really dont think he gives a crap anymore.
Even some of his recent responses in parliament (one word answers) just show a real contempt for being involved in any way. It’s like he’s grown tired of spouting the BS that he used to.

He’s a desperately limited man in a situation way above his ability, but he surely knows that he is being used as Boris’s shield at this point.

It’s the other way around. Biden’s campaign team have been plagiarising political slogans from around the world.
Here’s it being used back in August https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/lets-build-back-better
I think it’s been in circulation for a while and it may have originally been used by the Clinton Foundation a few years back?

Maybe they should all get into politics. Doesn’t seem that hard to do.

You can still get a top job, so who cares? Just put on a posh accent and lecture other people about personal responsibility while keeping a straight face and you’re good to go

It’s a sad day when we’re talking about talent over doing the right thing.
I understand that in politics there is more than one interpretation of the right thing but this Covid thing is just taking the piss.
What do you mean? You’ve lost me? ( first sentence)
I mean that if we look at Hancock. We’re saying he’s utterly hopeless, but in reality he’s trying to defend a hopeless position because the party and boss(es) that he represents have completely fucked up.
if they had done the right things his life gets easier and the decisions get easier to defend.
Meanwhile Unite (surely an oxymoron), are doing their level best to undermine Keir Starmer:
Unite decides to cut Labour affiliation money amid frustrations
A meeting of the Unite union executive has decided to cut its affiliation money to the Labour Party by about 10%, BBC Newsnight understands.
Unite is the Labour Party’s single biggest donor, providing the party with millions in funding every year.
But there is anger in the union about Labour’s direction under Sir Keir Starmer with a source saying he and his inner team were “just not listening”.
Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite, was a major ally of the former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and is a stalwart of the party’s Left.
Ahead of the meeting of Unite’s executive, he told Newsnight another cut in funding might happen if the party changed course too drastically under its new leader.
He said: “I have no doubt if things start to move in different directions and ordinary working people start saying, ‘well, I’m not sure what Labour stand for’, then my activists will ask me, ‘why are we giving so much money’?”
He went on to express dismay that Unite funds had been spent by Labour paying damages to whistle-blowers who contributed to a Panorama programme about Labour’s handling of the anti-Semitism crisis.
Mr McCluskey said his executive was angry about the decision "because they thought it was an absolute mistake and wrong to pay out huge sums of money to individuals who were suing the Labour Party based on the Panorama programme, when Labour’s own legal people were saying that they would lose that case if it went to court.
“So we shouldn’t have paid them anything.”
A Unite source said: "Keir and his inner circle are just not listening.
“There’s a lot of anger from the people who knock on the doors and man the phones. They don’t want to be taken for granted.”
The source went on to say that Mr McCluskey was likely to redirect the money to left-wing grassroots organisations to support a socialist programme, “which he sees as vital to produce a Labour victory in 2024”.
A socialist programme like the one that did so well at the last election?

Extremely clever people.
Lets screw up the Labour party’s opportunity to get elected to government so we can stay with a Tory government that wants to abolish our organisation. Took some brain matter to come up with that idea.

Didn’t some key donors stopped funding Labor during Corbyn???
Alan Sugar, maybe? Perhaps some others.
I can’t say. Read an article in Guardian some weeks ago.
What happens if Labour win the next election?
Do they come back with tail between their legs?
