  • Ahh yes I see what you mean, you put it well. Starmer’s government isn’t hated (at least not significantly), but very few people like them - even the Tories generally had a lot of supporters during their various tenures.

    I wonder if the author will realise they could do with revising that somewhat misleading/hyberbolic statement, but at least I now have a better handle on what they mean. Cheers!

    Now, if only I could get a physical subscription to the Morning Star here in South Manchester, none of the newsagents stock it, and delivery from their website is too pricey :-(


  • I agree with most of these points, but this one stood out as nonsense:

    Keir Starmer’s government is now probably the most hated in living memory.

    Besides the fact that the likes of Thatcher’s government is still very much within living memory, even if we just look at just the recent past 20 years… The current Labour government are more hated than our recent Tory government, that we had for years and became so reviled that there was talk it may collapse for good? …Really?

    I don’t buy that at all. Sure, there are plenty of things to be mad at Starmer and the current lot about, I agree, but I see far less hatred for them than I did the likes of Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, and their ilk. Faaaaar less.

    Anyway, great read besides that bizarrely inaccurate statement, thanks for sharing :-)
