Not Wes Streeting please. I've met him when he came to where I work. Victoria Atkins was nicer and she's a Tory, lol. Also pretty sure he wants to make things "digital" when it comes to the NHS. Even though every patient I met hates our self check in.

I think a lot of people hate using online things for medical stuff. I’m surprised Labour haven’t realised a digital NHS is a word that is creating dear and confusion for many people.

His brother Nick Starmer died on Boxing Day from cancer.

Now, now. He couldn’t help that his brother is a cunt.

 

I always say families of politicians are off limits and I stand by that.

Depends I guess.

 

For example, I did not know Starmer had a brother at all. He's just family.

 

But some family are in the public eye, like some of the Johnsons. Or Mark Thatcher who even has his own (shared) thread. You can have a go at those, but family with no public profile of their own - leave it, I say.

Ofc that’s what I meant.

You might not have known he had a brother but I bet you knew his Dad was a toolmaker, his mother was a Nurse and that his wife works in the NHS.

I went to the Panto this afternoon and the jokes against Keir Starmer got a bigger reaction than the jokes in previous years against Boris and Liz Truss. (And the one about Liz Truss this year as well.) He won’t be re-elected with a majority with that reaction already (Could be a hung parliament through but I rule nothing out.)

All richly deserved. Keir Starmer's brother was learning disabled and living in care. He did absolutely nothing to make his death worth celebrating.

With this tidbit of information I gave him his 20th facepalm

And now let's just ignore the cunt.

I don't really understand all the hate for Keir Starmer. 

Most of the pensioners who have lost their money can afford it. As for the farmers, its their best mates like Clarkson and Farage that have done them in. Alot of this would be avoidable if people just paid their fucking tax in the first place and didn't take advantage of the tax relief/benefits for those who genuinely need it...

He'd probably get less if he was actually better at presenting himself to the people. The Winter Fuel Allowance thing was a bit of a PR own goal, and was really inviting criticism for going after the most vulnerable members of society. A lot of the pensioners who can't now claim it didn't necessarily need it, but he should really have anticipated that going for them so quickly would be seen as targeting the vulnerable. I spoke with a relative in their 70s who falls in to this category, and he doesn't even disagree that at its roots it wasn't a terrible idea, just that it felt like an unfair immediate attack on the aged especially when Labour is supposed to be all about defending the weak in society.

 

It could easily have been deferred and slotted in a bit later down the line when there couldn't really have been an angle for "Keir wants to immediately kill the pensioners!" It would still have invited criticism from the press, but there'd have been more people willing to entertain it as a tough, but necessary, decision as opposed to a mercenary attack on the vulnerable.

I get paying tax, but inheritance tax shouldn't be a thing. Why should someone's family be indebted to the government when they die?
