He is a soulless creep. His eyes show No Human Involvement.
This comment is bang on in the light of the ABSOLUTE SCENES in the Commons yesterday.
You have to have extraordinarily poor political (and human) acumen to laughingly congratulate yourself over the tiny, flimsy achievements of your failing Govt, and reminisce fondly about your fave footabller, while your Chancellor is in tears behind you. At one point Reeves had to lean over to help Starmer prepare an answer and her tears DRIPPED onto the document they were both looking at - he couldn't miss it. Everyone was ignoring it - awful! Thank goddess Kemi was brave enough to say what everyone else was thinking. And then....Starmer refused to back his Chancellor!!!
I've seen some emotional scenes in the Commons over my obsessive love of PMQs over the decades. During the darkest days of the godawful Brexit debate, May was visibly struggling at times and one evening (that bitter all night debate, remember?) looked to be on the verge of tears. But frontbenchers were leaning over to give her shoulder a reassuring squeeze, even the anti-Brexit Tories were supporting her. Whereas the Labour frontbench? They totally ignored Reeves! Rayner was...GRINNING!*
Not that I've any sympathy for Reeves mind you. She's the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. If you know you're too upset to make it through PMQs, DON'T GO, because if you sit there in tears you should KNOW that the bond market's gonna fall out of bed. Which it promptly did, making my forthcoming trip abroad to see family more expensive, and more to the point, sending our bond yields spiralling and plunging us all further into the slow motion bond crisis we've been spinning into since last October (I mean, at least the imbecile Truss had the decency to make her
duck-up quick eh).
The mealy-mouthed 'personal matter'
bull was disgusting and really just shows how little idea Starmer has about human support and human dignity. It's so misogyny-adjacent..."Oh GOD, Rachel from Accounts is crying AGAIN." "I know Dave. Silly emotional women eh? Probably all upset over some
personal matter. Maybe she's on her monthlies, heh heh heh."
I beginning to think Starmer doesn't like women very much.
*Decades ago I used to move in heavily communist circles and was a member of the SWP - don't worry, I've reformed now! But I did notice how many men on the far left have a severe lack of empathy, and never feel themselves obligated to reach out a helping hand to friends or family who're struggling. I think it's linked to their ideology, they think it's the job of the state to provide help, thus absolving themselves of all basic reciprocal societal duties. They can spend that time instead getting all riled up about vast groups of people they don't know, in countries far away, who are being 'oppressed'. Whereas Tories and centrists, I think because they don't like Big State intervention, and believe charity begins at home, are more likely to go all out to help struggling people in their immediate circle and local community. I've seen this dichotomy all my life. It's an interesting phenomenon. I'm sure someone's written a book about it. Thomas Sowell maybe. Sounds like the sort of thing he'd be interested in.
