Sir Keir Starmer

Also, it WOULD be worth £10 million IF he sold it to a property developer and THEY could make it into a £10 million development. At the moment it’s worth precisely whatever a small field with some donkeys in it is worth. Unless Starmer want’s to profit from it. Which he doesn’t

Yes they claim that if it did have planning permission it would be worth 10 million, but in the same article say it doesnt have planning permission as its green belt.
 
What an utter b****d he sounds.

Half a share in a house, a field for Phil Whelan and selling a small strip of land fulfilling his duty as an executor of an estate.

Shameless from the man.
 
I read an article in an american scientific journal about conditioning people through small steps. It was aimed at Trump, and his way of dealing with immigrants. You mistreat them a bit, wait until that becomes the norm, then increase the cruelty a little. You then repeat this process until it's OK to gas muslim kids. The case study they used was 1930's Germany.

This will be why the tories have started small. You will notice in the article, the headline includes, "Man of the people?" and Sir Kier". I would imagine, the idea is you question whether he is a man of the people, then use his title to answer that question. How can he be a man of the people if he is knighted?

Media campaigns are incredibly sofisticated, and that is why they work. You have to disable their relevance and accuracy by addressing them head on, and countering them.

I would have thought the government would have more to concentrate on given the electorate are dying, than smearing the opposition leader, with what is, after all, not even a story.
 
Jam you make the mistake that people voted for Johnson they didn't. They voted against a party who stuffed their democratic vote.

If Starmer gets into to BJ they will return
 
This smear stratagy worked against Jeremy Corbyn as, regardless if true or not, he had a background that was easy to target and held a strong emotive element. Same with his policies, they were easy to paint as communist. With most of these smears, Corbyn never really did anything to address them.

Keir Starmer is a different beast here, he can as already shown, destroy Boris Johnson but not with smears, with his own words. He does not have a controversial past and as shown in the smear attempts so far, are easy to rebuke.

Cummings et al, could end up helping Sir Keir if "stories" like this are all they can come up with as it will backfire eventually.
 
Doesn’t the latest opinion poll show public confidence in the government is plummeting and that Starmer already has a higher approval rating than Johnson?

I think that Mail story is on the same level as Grant Shapps talking about filling potholes in when we have had well over 30,000 deaths in the last few weeks and the economy is heading for the worst recession in memory.

The Tories are in big trouble and their media fans know it.
 
I can't imagine Starmer being very upset at this complete non-story. Starmer, with the right policies and the right appointments in his shadow cabinet, seems like the 1st Labour leader I could get behind in a very long time and I'm probably fairly indicative of one of those voters Labour need to win over
 
He should just threaten to sue them over any untruth until they apologised in public. This should be used against newspapers MP,s ,-anybody

Not sure about that fella - although no doubt some people voted for the reasons you said.
I do think The ‘Boris’ brand is remarkably strong though. Happy, almost, eccentric Englishman with unkempt hair and a cheeky bit of patter really resonates with many.

You are absoloutely right Finny, though I suspect that will change. It is difficult to get away with the "Cheery Chappy" persona when people are dying.

I was going to just call him a murderous C U Next Tuesday, but it is, after all, a Sunday.
