      He just needs to keep his yap shut for one more day and he can start fixing things. And our absence in the EU is something that needs to be fixed.

        and he can start fixing things

        Lol, he has given absolutely no indication in his political career of any intention to fix anything (that matters to you and me, rather than capitalists and the rest of the establishment he represents, that is).

        You want him to be quiet, but he keeps telling you over and over and over and over again who he really is, why won’t you listen???

          Honestly I’d settle for a slight deceleration in things getting worse. Starmer wants to restore hope and faith in politics. He’s got his work cut out for him.

      He can agree with the referendum and say we won’t join whilst he’s leader. But to say lifetime is a long fucking time

        Basically this. If it’s a Ming vase strategy that’s one thing, but this is overcommitting to the bit, if so.

        Because you’ll also need to convince the other members of the EU that we aren’t going to come in, shit in the corner and then fuck off again?

        Yes it’s a long time, but we have burnt so many fucking bridges.

          I don’t credit that one bit. Going back is an increasingly popular view, and then there’s the whole Russian interference angle; it was a bad idea with a fumbled execution. Why commit, because it’s gone so well for us?

      At least pretend to want what’s best for the country, if he expects to be given the reigns to it?

      We had the mountain of evidence of how bad it would be before it happened, now we’ve been at it for a couple of years and every single negative prediction has come true. Saying he not only won’t try to mend the situation himself, but that no one will/should in his lifetime (I assume he gives himself at least another 25-30 years), is telling you he doesn’t give a fuck about the wellbeing of the country nor its people, only about those in power who are loving being able to abuse us more as citizens without the EU and their damn human rights looking over their shoulder…
