  1. @sjcooke66 @statsguy This thread seems to be at risk of becoming an I Hate #PollyToynbee More Than You show. Which would of course be a very welcome development 😈 😅 🤣

  2. @lionelb But as usual #PollyToynbee can't even be half-rIght on one simple point (that Starmer is crap at politics) without missing the point (that #Starmer was chosen by #McSweeney precisely because he is crap) and telling the whopper lie that Starmer is "a good and clever man". Starmer is a compulsive liar with a record which got increasingly ugly as his career progressed.

  3. "Here is the Starmer tragedy, a good and clever man not made for politics or leadership", writes #PollyToynbee in #TheGuardian.

    This is a deranged denial of reality.

    #Starmer is a serial liar who broke all his pledges made to win the #LabourParty leadership. He purged Jewish ppl as #antisemites, insisted that cutting water for Gaza was legal, & redefined anti-genocide protesters as "#terrorists".

    He is the v opposite of a #goodMan

  4. CW: UKpol: even Polly Toynbee loses patience with Starmer

    I like Polly Toynbee, even if I often disagree with her. She is consistent and has real, old-fashioned passion for a better society.

    In the last year she kept pointing out the hidden good things in the disastrous Starmer/Reeves project. Sometimes she was at least partially right.

    Her piece in today's Guardian is about the removal of the whip from a selection of the Labour MPs who voted against the horrible Welfare Bill. She's finally had enough of Starmer's cruelty and incompetence. Even Polly can't defend the man anymore. That means something.

    Worth reading. Her contrasting Starmer with Blair is illuminating.
