Christopher Federico: Big victory for Labour — so big that the NYT just gave Sir Keir his own version of ‘Joe Biden Is Old’

Big victory for Labour — so big that the NYT just gave Sir Keir his own version of ‘Joe Biden Is Old’

I mean, he DOES suck

I mean, he literally said he would want to meet JK so that should tell you everything there is to know about him.

Oy vey

Yep, not a great look

Yeah both parties in the UK are horribly transphobic despite the Cass Report being so full of holes it may as well be a sponge

Yep, the report is just a fancy tool they can use to dehumanize trans people.

Yes, yet for a cudgel it’s remarkably (and transparently) flimsy, it would be so easy to rip it shreds if anyone in UK politics gave an iota about LGBTQIA people or about saving trans kids from harm, bigotry, and self-murder. Waving a rotted courgette everyone is pretending is a shillelagh.

On the bright side Corbyn won a seat

Who's corbyn

Jeremy Corbin, former leader of Labour party.

Pushed out with false claims of antisemitism because he was moving the Labour Party in the UK to support worker and marginalized rights. He’s imperfect as he’s a bit of a Russia shill but he would’ve helped the nation rebuild after brexit

If the NYT knew how transphobic he was they'd be calling him a dynamic leader of the future

Every new quote I see from him is, "We can be better at denying rights to trans people than the Tories."

Sure, but only NYT is vapid enough to say the key issue with Starmer is "lack of star power." The NYT editorial board writes the same way a fashion consultant in The Hunger Games talks.

Well we can’t all be John Major

Also, look what "star power" has gotten US voters.

So wish I could ❤️ this more than one time.

The star power of 'lettuce' Liz Truss.

hey now, Theresa May had charASma

You’re not a true PM until you fuck a pig’s head.

They should love him as he has basically adopted every shit-eating right-wing policy that has turned the UK into a stagnant backwater

Who writes this stuff? "Starmer has won a historic victory for Labour, so we decided to shit in his cornflakes."

Every day I see shit that made me glad I quit subscribing

And not for nothing, but an electorate opting for boring but capable after Boris and is the point. A decent hed was right there. "After years of chaos, UK turns to 'boring' Labour boss Starmer to right the ship."

The “star power” of the lady less popular than a slowly wilting cabbage.

Huge victory for Labour and who's voting for "stars"? NYT is beyond useless.

Both The New York Times and Washington Post have turned the corner into the far right arena. I won’t bother with them anymore.

Noted superstar Rishi Sunak is consoled by this.

They're not wrong though. Starmer is shit.

Star power? who among blair, johnson, truss had star power?

Im very down with this one. They already won. Time to take out the trash and replace him with someone who isn't transphobic.

Some countries vote for the person they think is most qualified to do the job and help their country, not for star power... Look at what Trumpy did with all of his 'star' power...

[Liz Truss doing jazz hands]

Of course because they are fucking pieces of shit.

Most progressive people may not yet agree that NYT is more harm than good for democracy, and that we’d be better off with it going out of business. But I’m confident they will in the next five years.

What if... and bear with me here for a second... we judge leaders on how well they lead, and not how famous they are? CRAZY... I know.

It’s true though. He’s got both the charisma and backbone of a wet blanket. No-one knows what he stands for. Based on his stated policies he could be socially conservative and economically centre-right. Why should we be excited?

Who can forget the star power of Theresa May, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak?

For those still banging on about so-called 'charisma', I have to ask. Just how shallow are you ?

Star power? What about intelligent, empathetic, humane, leaders

well we're not getting that either

Are you able to see the future

But in this Cambridgeshire pub …

SUCH a superstar that John Major fellow wow the charisma

They are a bitchy old woman no one wants to sit by

Starmer gets it (it's not a beauty pageant). NYT doesn't care about policy or honesty. Starmer tonight: "People here and around the country have spoken and they’re ready for change, to the politics of performance, a return to politics as public service." www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

UK election live news: Grant Shapps and Alex Chalk lose seats in Tory wipeout as Keir Starmer says it is time for Labour ‘to deliver’www.theguardian.com Keir Starmer set to enter Downing Street with commanding majority after exit poll suggests Labour will win 410 seats to the Conservatives’ 131

like liz truss and Theresa May?

JFC

don’t expect Starmer to care about US democracy

Labour’s Keir Starmer: I’ll make it work if Donald Trump winswww.politico.eu Favorite to become Britain’s next prime minister says in a ‘grown-up world, you have to make that relationship work.’

What a weird take I mean, he is Centrist shite, but that's still a weird take
