Ffs, posts now saying what Starmer should have said about flags, they are basically echoing what Starmer said but using different words. Is he now expected to consult us all before he speaks.

What reason do those who want him to either call a GE or stand aside for a leadership contest give? It's total bull crap.

As I've said before, only in the UK in 2025 can the PM be criticised for both what he says & for not saying the various things people think he should have said. Completely nuts 🙄

Exactly! It's utterly preposterous and led by dedicated moaners who have to bitch to feel important. The Tedious Ones.

I can obviously think of a few gaffs, but on the whole Starmer is proving himself to be one of the best PMs we've had in years. Not a high bar after the Tories those critics will say, but the good he's done in just the 1st year outweighs the disappointing. He's said all I need him to say re flags 🤷

I have seen two almost identical posts today from big accounts saying starmer is not the man for the moment. Not only is it utter shite but seems to be a coordinated attack

Me too. The key point is ‘big accounts’. Look at their ratio of likes to followers. It’s fractional. They got where they are trashing the Tories. Day after the election they’re like “Shit. How do I keep my followers? I know. I’ll bash Labour.” All self serving bollocks from them.

I've seen at least 3 suggesting what Gareth Southgate would say and asking why Starmer isn't saying it, it's getting beyond ridiculous now.

I replied to one pointing out every reply to his post had a different suggestion to what Starmer should have said, how they can't see the problem with this nonsense is really beyond me.

Must be, I've unfollowed him now, he didn't show any signs of hating Starmer during the GE campaign and I just don't buy it's because Starmer is doing a bad job because I don't think he is.

Same here. As I predicted this morning the idiots who spent all last week insisting he agreed with Farage in every aspect are now desperately trying to spin his words. It’s like the FBPE crowd who won’t accept we can’t “just join” and want to put the Tories back as punishment for that.
