sadoldgit Posted 6 July, 2022 Share Posted 6 July, 2022 2 hours ago, The Kraken said: Starmer isn’t the best orator, but whoever writes his speeches should give those selves a pat on the back after PMQ today. ’charge of the lightweight brigade’ and ‘z-list cast of nodding dogs’ were my particular favourites. He does have a very good sense of humour but there has been precious little to laugh about for some time. As a former QC he will be used to writing his own closing speeches so I would imagine he mostly writes his own material. Angela Rayner said that he tends to work on his PMQ stuff himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? As the leader of the opposition he should have been pissing his pants every day for the past six months at least. This is the reaction he should have been having for months but for some reason hasn't bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pmq stuff is mostly thinking on his feet as it would be in a court setting. His stuff in front of the cameras feels scripted and wooden and I'd be surprised if they're his words.

Yes I know odds arent predictions but do indicate where most people are putting their money. Fuck me. No wonder bookies make money.

rallyboy Posted 6 July, 2022 Share Posted 6 July, 2022 The rest of the cabinet do realise that this isn't the end of it and they will still forever be the worst cabinet in history? They have sat around that table and encouraged the corrupt crook to randomly ejaculate and throw his shit everywhere for the last few years, so they will always be covered in it. As for Zahawi - he's a fucking piece of work, this will be about three U-turns in 72 hours. I can't wait to hear his simple explanation of what changed during his tea break. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 6 July, 2022 Share Posted 6 July, 2022 I did laugh that even in a group of back stabbing snakes jostling for position to replace their leader, Gove manages to outdo the others in his useless duplicitousness and get fired. Another one who will never change. I only heard snippets from tha liaison committee, but he got savaged. A bit more of that, a lot sooner would have been good.

rallyboy Posted 7 July, 2022 Share Posted 7 July, 2022 The main positive with mass resignations is that a generation of unemployable yet over-promoted yes-men and women are leaving the building to never be seen again - presumably all thinking that this will just be a cool and temporary moral stand because they're so good the new leader will be desperate to reappoint them...but those phones will never ring.
