Granny Danger Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Every word out of Starmer’s mouth confirms what he is. “Keir Starmer Says He Would Rather Sit Next To Piers Morgan Than Jeremy Corbyn” The Arsenal fan was asked which of his two fellow supporters he would prefer to watch a match with. Without hesitation, Starmer replied: “Piers Morgan.” https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-starmer-says-he-would-rather-sit-next-to-piers-morgan-than-jeremy-corbyn_uk_63c95806e4b04d4d18dd056b 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure if Starmer was asked the same question with Morgan replaced by Benjamin Netanyahu then he’d still be ahead of Corbyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bit is even worse. Quote Elsewhere in his interview, which took place at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Starmer said he would rather be there than Westminster.

tamthebam Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Starmer seemed happy enough to serve in Corbyn's shadow cabinet and boost his profile rather than being an obscure backbencher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What is a bloke from Sheffield doing 'supporting' Arsenal, anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I see labour have come out in support of no new investment in the North Sea whilst also saying they need oil and gas to support the transition to greener energy. The North sea is a mature area where many of the producing oilfields are nearing the end of their commercial life. For every barrel of oil produced, the asset has to produce about 9 barrels of water. To produce these 9 barrels of water requires a lot of energy. Any new fields, such as Cambo, will not produce significant quantities of water for a period of time so the new fields have a better footprint than the current ones. So why not develop the new fields and shut down the older ones? Also, currently old fields are decommissioned at great expense. Could they not be cleaned and left or toppled as a benefit to marine ecosystems? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they not be cleaned and left or toppled as a benefit to marine ecosystems? In fairness this is a tricky one. Everybody who knows, knows that oil and gas (and coal) are going to be needed during the transition to greener energy, and the way we're going in new propulsion technologies (ie, not very well, battery factories closing etc), failing to reduce traffic, etc, we're going to need more of it for longer. But then you also have to contend with Greta et al if you aim to keep even one outlet going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Angus McNeil had a majority of only 2438 last time, but it's a small electorate. The "Personal Life" section of his Wiki page is quite eventful but most of it happened before he was last elected with 45% of the vote. He seems to like picking fights with Holyrood on occasion which might go down well with the locals. Doubt Torquil has much of a chance, but he's a local too, so who knows? Not me obviously.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really that simple, eh? It's extremely dishonest and cynical. It also insults folk's intelligence, as if we're all too stupid to notice this deceit. (Not that Johnson was explicitly accused of antisemitism over this. I realise you're meaning Labour's swift censuring of her comes in the context of previous antisemitism accusations against them).

welshbairn Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 In America Ilhan Omar has just been kicked off a committee for a supposedly antisemitic comment in the past, claiming that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) was buying influence for pro-Israel policies, which is undoubtedly true and is their whole raison d'etre . Meanwhile Marjorie Taylor Greene has been appointed to a committee despite claiming in the past that the Californian wild fires were ignited by Jewish space lasers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
