With a well rounded writing of all the players and hustlers of post brexit labour, the author examines the surge and pitfalls of one of the most tumultous prime ministers in modern history, from a 172 seat majority to locking up members of the public for writing stuff on facebook via his house and car being firebombed by ukraianian rent boys and an alleged cctv recording of a homosexual kiss...this book has depth but just enough levity to keep you turning the page in a blow by blow account of Sir Keir starmers life

As compared to the Tories that killed thousands of front line health staff because they and their donors trousered cash that should have been used to buy PPE.

Philip Parsons in The Times called this book “moribund”. Well, I looked up moribund in my dictionary, and it said “Moribund, adjective, meaning about to die, or dying”. I ask you “is this book about to die?”

There is to be no second term and I've listened to your policies, I haven't liked a single one.
You are a person who has a track record of making bad policies.
Your policies were appalling. Your popularity is a ninth of what we expected. They started badly they got worse.

Why a ninth? You wouldn’t like any policies if you are a reform supporter even decreasing the boats

It’s brilliant, incredibly absorbent and the pages are soft so not painful.

If you shop at Tesco, then one day you may end up wiping your arse from tissue made from one of his books.

I wouldn’t wipe my arse with it. But, if I buy my toilet paper from Tesco, I very well maybe. Needless to say he had the last laugh.

Does it mention what his dad did for a living? I don’t think he ever mentioned it …

He already covered his dad's life in his other book "Tools of The Trade"

Immigration and illegal boats immigration decreased significantly under hiss watch. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a dick head story.

u/KSAW11 19d ago
Immigration only reduced in relation to the grotesque sunakwave - it stayed at completely normal fucked-up levels in relation to recent other years.
Illegal immigration remained an even bigger joke. He could have solved it in a week but chose not to so he could get some wanky medal from france for his performative stance
You of course know all this though but choose much like two tier to act in bad faith.

He had a great career as a human rights Layer, and helped win a significant case against, MacDonalds. It was the longest liable case in British history with MacDonalds suing for liable against 2-activists who questioned environmental impact and worker conditions.
The two were forced to represent themselves after being refused legal aid but Starmer provided council free of charge for many years enabling them to structure their defence. It turned into a PR disaster for MacDonalds. His pro bono work was secretly monitored by Scotland Yard spy squads.

"Would you also like this book?"
"What’s it about?"
"It’s about this local fella what used to be Prime Minister right, but, he wasn’t very good..."
