Current Affairs The Labour Party

[peteblue]

I’d take anything over the Tories.

Not a massive fan of Starmer, but at least he’s worked hard to get where he is and is from a normal, working class background.

That’s the bar unfortunately. Wealthy Eton bellends or Starmer’s Labour.

Normal working class background…he said his dad was a toolmaker in a factory but omitted saying that his dad actually owned the factory. He went to a grammar school, remember those schools that Labour then mostly turned into comprehensive, which became a feepaying independent school while he was there and was given a bursary to pay for his A levels. Quite a few conservative peers went to the same school apparently. Normal working class background my @rse……

His Dad didnt own a Factory.

"he was a proficient self-employed tradesman, devoid of superiors or overseers, operating from a rented workshop on an industrial estate rather than a conventional factory setting"

He attended a state school, which was converted into a Grammar School while he was there. Daddy didnt pay his fees, which suggests that Daddy didnt earn enough, thus, working class.

"He passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School, then a voluntary aided selective grammar school.[10] The school was converted into an independent fee-paying school in 1976, while he was a student. He was exempt from paying fees until the age of 16, and his sixth-form study fees were paid by a bursary he received from the private school's charity."


Try harder please.

Vaughan Gething's shelf life as Labour Leader in the Senedd looks to be fairly short. He sacked Hannah Blythyn, one of his ministers yesterday, and the row over the donation of £200,000 from a dodgy businessman shows no sign of abating.

I think you’ve just repeated what I said tbh…..devoid of superiors or overseers…I.e he owned it……..

Personally, I couldn’t give a crap if he was from a nice middle class family or even a wealthy family. But this pretence that he was a working class lad, in poverty etc, is pure bs. The man will say anything that he thinks his audience wants to hear…he’s a fraud, pure and simple……

I agree with Pete here. But despite that, he's still a better offering than the Tories.

Pretence, a word you know quite a bit about.

I cant say I know enough about Sir Keir to take that discussion any further.

I just know hes vastly better than that poison little dwarf who runs your outfit, so thats all that matters.

Oh I agree about the backstabbing poison dwarf, mind you Starmer did a good hatchet job on Corbyn but a little more subtle. The thing is Boris has never hidden his family, upbringing, education, bullingdon club, kids, telling fibs etc etc. I can live with what I know, I can’t live with sneaks who try to hide it……

 

[Rita_Poon]

The thing is Boris has never hidden his kids

Double rollover payout here.

Yeah at least poor Boris fought his way up from the gutters...the lack of self awareness sometimes @peteblue

No he didn’t, he had a privileged upbringing, but everyone and their dog knows it and Boris has never pretended to be working class, unlike Starmer…..
