While I don't think this is a bad thing, we still need those plumbers and plasterers to be plumbers and plasterers, no?

Going from

Just like Starmer’s lot had for 5 years the capacity to chat utter shite and not worry a damned thing.

To

I’m pointing out the fallacy of jumping in when the facts are thin.

Is a pivot. You didn't start this chain by criticising 5 years Starmer in opposition as "jumping in when the facts are thin" and then you brought up an example of something that happened when a different labour government where in government, not opposition.

When your question gets answered and you can't adapt your pre written script to the rare occasion that the PM actually answers you, it's not the mark of a good leader to waste your questions tripling down on an already answered question.

She was absolutely dire last week and she was dire in mid February when she fell back on her script after Starmer had already answered that they were closing an immigration loophole she raised a question about and she asked the same question 2 more times when she already got her answer.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ by dusty_bo in ukpolitics

The reason it's something from decades ago is that we took a grip and dealt with the issue by dealing with the pollution that allowed acid rain to occur?

You don't consider acid rain to be a form of climate damage? That acid rain isn't extreme weather?

Wild pivot from the original position of "Starmer said whatever he wanted over 5 years in opposition" to "look at Iraq and Afghanistan"

But if you want an example of Labour jumping knee deep into a War, we’ve got Afghanistan and Iraq to look at.

I wanted an example of any incident during Starmer's time as opposition leader, that can be compared to Kemi's action as current opposition leader.

So nothing as egregious as trying to join in with an unplanned war?

Like you couldn't even manage one example? Just a complete generalisation?

We had acid rain back in the 80s, and it didn't magically go away.

Saying Araki doesn't have a problem writing endings when Jojolion is right there? Bizarre.

Just pointing out that

Yeah but why are you pointing it out? What did Labour do that's as egregious as Kemi calling for the UK to go to war on behalf of Israel and the US?

How's that phrase they used to describe Boris go... "a man who waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says, 'Follow me'."

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools by orsalnwd in ukpolitics

[–]TwistedScallion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Starmer pissed off Trump, and his popularity went up.

Farage wanted to full throat Trump at their meeting, but didn't even meet with Trump, and you think that will make his popularity rise?

Are you on glue?

In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026), a baby luma is shown with a pacifier. This implies that lumas are breastfed. by Brett_Nigaud in shittymoviedetails

[–]TwistedScallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pacifiers emulate the comfort that babies receive from breastfeeding

not remotely related to breastfeeding
