This is old news but why did Starmer not justify the actions? Did he hope it would not come out?
Keir Starmer accused of hypocrisy for slamming Boris Johnson peerage
It has been suggested Labour's leader had privately congratulated Evgeny Lebedev when he was elevated to the House of Lords, sources told the Daily Mail.www.dailymail.co.uk
This is desperate, desperate stuff.
You're right, the man to focus on is the guy that sent a solitary text having not been briefed by MI5/6, and not the man that nominated Lebedev, overruled security advice, partied with him etc etc

I think the point is being missed by you. He’s texting a man to congratulate him for peerage which he obtained through giving money to the ruling party. The MI5/6 stuff is irrelevant.You're right, the man to focus on is the guy that sent a solitary text having not been briefed by MI5/6, and not the man that nominated Lebedev, overruled security advice, partied with him etc etc
In Starmer’s case it will be whatever Murdoch decrees.What are Labour trying to present themselves as at the next election?

The fact that doesn’t ring alarm bells in the LOTO enough to at the very least not send that text is disturbing.
But as per usual it's working. Tories deflect and people lap it up.
Whether it is or not, just demonstrates Starmer has zero political acumen.it’s a non story
I don’t think Ian and FP are Tories
it’s a non story
It’s not about being anti-Starmer. For me it’s the idea that the leader of the Labour Party is sending congratulation texts to someone who bought a peerage. He is in the wrong party if he deems that normal for his position.No but they are fiercely anti Starmer (which is fine, not a criticism).
Like party gate?

It's astonishing that you can pick such faults in Starmer but can't find anything to criticise Johnson about.
Actually it's not astonishing at all is it
Which Starmer iteration are you talking about specifically?Sp you are a fan of Mr Starmer. Sum up in 3 points what he stands for?

He's a million times better than Johnson or Corbyn. The first leader of either party in a long time who actually looks capable of not embarrassing themselves and the country on a national and international stage.
that’s empty rhetoric - what does Mr Starmer stand for?
What are his key policy ideals that attract you to him?
You'd know all about empty rhetoric being such a fan of 'Mr Johnson'.
This is an utterly pointless discussion

So as someone that in theory should be a nailed on vote for him, what is he going to do about the cost of living crisis? Or the fact my kids will never get on the housing ladder? Or the impending climate crisis?
I don’t give a fuck how many flags he stands near, or how sharp his suit looks - he’s an empty sack of uninspiring shite with no vision for this country in the future.
lol you can’t name one policy or one principal that makes him a potential Prime minister - he is of course the clown who lost the northern seats in the first place with his half arsed Brexit policy and he’s bound to drop some gaffe about not ruling out an EU return at election time
I don't know how you can comment on anything political with a straight face these days given your heroes are funded by a murdering despot who is intent on killing innocent children. But yeah Starmer is the real baddie.
God you're tedious.
Anyway.
State of him.
Who goes running in a dress shirt? Guarantee he didn't shower and carried on working in the same shirt. We've all worked with someone like that.
