Even Dianne Abbott has turned on him. 😆 Didn't you get the memo?

 

He's losing the party. Maybe time for you to change course?

It's a mantra that cannot be changed

Starmer claims he cannot think of anything he should have done differently in his first months as PM

In his final answer to Meg Hillier, the Labour chair of the liasion committee, Keir Starmer claimed that he could not think of anything he should have done differently in his first months as PM.

Expand  

 

That mantra consists of

 

1. 14 years of Tories

 

2. Black holes

 

3. Fixing Foundations

 

4. Taking tough decisions ( Which always gives me a good chuckle )

 

And a few others that I now forget.

It’s only a U-Turn if it’s a retreat from a Manifesto pledge or a policy that is announced while in Government.   It’s not a U-Turn.

Funny how women only want equality when it benefits them. 😆   Equality of retirement age? Not so much.. We'll have equal pay and equal rights but still retire earlier thanks.    Ha

Is that the same Dianne Abbott you’ve spent so much time ridiculing and otherwise denigrating - Yes it is.

 

Political point scoring makes the strangest of allies.

Expand  

 

Whether or not I like Abbott is completely irrelevant.

 

The point that you choose to deliberately ignore is that Starmer is losing support within his own party. He's that bad. He's on very thin ice.

Expand  

The GBP 22b 'Holeohoax™' used to justify reneging on promises and "tough choices". Still waiting for that itemised breakdown from Reeves - could easily fill it if it existed by taking back the GBP22b given to Millibrand to disburse amongst his cronies. Tough choices always seem to be against British people.

Are you suggesting the "rightwing press" created the video of the interview with AI? Desperate stuff. 😆

 

Abbott said it. It is irrelevant who reported it, although your continued dodging of the subject is well noted.

"Tough choices" is politician speak for poor decisions. 

 

Starmer makes plenty of them.

Expand  

 

The breakdown consists of

 

1. The £10 Billion given to the NHS in pay rises

 

2. £12 Billion to Africa for Climate Change Crap.

That £22 Billion was just an initial down payment, the taxpayer will be adding to that on an annual basis, how high it goes is anyones guess.

You spelt kleptocracies wrong.

Expand  

 

Indeed I did, but that would be for a different topic and I am trying to stick to facts.

 

Which was £12 Billion given to Africa for Climate Change Crap.

 

If they had asked me, as a UK tax payer what I thought of giving £12 Billion of taxpayers money to Africa for Climate Change Crap. A Mike Tyson impression would have ensued, whilst chanting China, US, Russia, India and Japan.

 

Before the final haymaker was delivered, the person might just hear the words ' Dont talk to me about Climate Change Crap '

 

Anyway

Non Player Character - basically used to describe someone who can't think for themselves.

 

Following the analogy of non-player characters, the NPC meme is used to mock individuals the maker perceives as lacking introspection, individual opinions, or critical thinking, generally political opponents.

 

 

It is not me who can't think for themselves, I just use memes to save typing or to enhance/illustrate a point, or for fun. the board can judge this for themselves.

Oh you think you’re in a video game.

 

I recommend getting out more.

Refer any of the Daily Mail and the increasingly comic Daily Telegraph have to say on the matter.

 

Expand  

 

It doesn't matter what the Daily Mail/Telegraph said about it.

 

It matters what Abbott said about Starmer. The video of the actual interview was in the link, but I know you refuse to watch (or more accurately refuse to acknowledge watching) videos because it removes your ability to deflect with inane comments about the source that posted it, as you did in the very post I am quoting. 😆

 

I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. 😏

As usual you did not answer it but posted your own question!

Go and read your own posts and then answer the question truthfully!

The answer to your question is no, I have never said Dianne Abbot is the rightwing press, but you already know that.

Your reference to NPCs, complete with a definition, indicates you are having trouble understanding that this is not a video game.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed are we Chomper? It's also used politically, it makes that clear in what I posted. Unfortunately to understand that would require thinking rather than posting a link, and that is where you came unstuck.

 

'Following the analogy of non-player characters, the NPC meme is used to mock individuals the maker perceives as lacking introspection, individual opinions, or critical thinking, generally political opponents.'

 

 

Better def:

NPC (Non Player Character)

"NPC" stands for "Non-Player Character" and is used as a metaphor to describe someone who is perceived as lacking independent thought or blindly following trends.

What is the meaning of NPC?

The term originates from video games and refers to characters that are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence (AI)ia-glossary/ai/ rather than by actual players.

On social media, "NPC" is often used as a metaphor or memes://later.com/social-media-glossary/meme/ to describe someone who blindly follows popular opinion without critical thinking. It implies that the person in question conforms to societal or political ideologies without questioning or expressing unique viewpoints.

How is NPC (Non-Player Character) used on social media?

The term "NPC" is typically used in online discussions, debates, or political discourse as a way to criticize or dismiss someone's arguments or perspectives. It suggests that the person is merely regurgitating scripted responses or adhering to a predetermined set of beliefs without engaging in independent reasoning or original thought.

It is important to note that the use of "NPC" as an insult or derogatory term can be divisive and can contribute to unproductive online interactions. It is always advisable to engage in respectful and constructive dialogue when discussing differing opinions or viewpoints on social media.

The return was in the cards anyway, unfortunately. Labour will probably speed it up, though.
