'Let's just reconstitute this before frankly, you really embarrass yourself.'
@CamillaTominey clashes with Labour MP Tom Hayes who attempts to derail their interview by bringing up a story about Reform UK's Richard Tice, instead of responding to questions on Sir Keir Starmer.

@KemiBadenoch Old school summation: Starmer is as bent as a nine bob note.

Matthew the gabbler with the moustache.
Or, and she'll deny being a lefty, Miriam Cates.

Beating Yourself Up Is Not the Same as Being Accountable
Keir Starmer has discovered a new defence. Not ignorance, which the vetting documents destroyed. Not deception, which the paper trail contradicts. Something softer and harder to prosecute. He beats himself up. He dwells on it. He is, he assures us, his own harshest critic.
Accountability has consequences. It involves the surrender of something: office, authority, the power to make the next mistake. Self-flagellation on a podcast involves none of those things. It is the political equivalent of a public apology that asks the wronged party to comfort the wrongdoer. Starmer is not accepting consequences. He is asking for sympathy while retaining everything.
Consider what he is actually saying. That no external criticism can match the severity of his internal verdict. That he has, in effect, already punished himself more harshly than anyone else could. The logical implication is that further accountability is therefore unnecessary. He has handled it. Internally. In his own head. The matter is closed. That is not accountability. It's theatre.
It is not closed. A man with a known, documented relationship with a convicted paedophile was placed in Britain's most sensitive diplomatic post. The vetting file flagged the risk in writing. The national security adviser said the process was weirdly rushed. The chief of staff who drove the appointment has resigned. The phone containing the key messages has disappeared. A police investigation was filed under the wrong address and closed. A disgraced peer was paid £75,000 of public money to stop him talking.
Starmer did not stumble into this. He signed off on it. He knew about the Epstein connection. He chose to proceed. That is not a mistake in the ordinary sense of the word. A mistake is what happens when you act without sufficient information. Starmer had the information. The vetting document existed. The warnings were made. The decision to override them was deliberate.
He invokes his twenty years fighting violence against women and girls as context for the error, as if a long record of good work provides a credit account against which bad decisions can be offset. But that record does not bear the weight he places on it. As Director of Public Prosecutions, Starmer presided over a Crown Prosecution Service that failed to prosecute grooming gangs operating openly in towns across the north of England. Girls were being abused on an industrial scale. The institution he led looked the other way. He has never offered a satisfactory account of why. A man whose professional legacy includes that failure is not well placed to invoke the protection of women and girls as a shield against scrutiny.
The victims of Jeffrey Epstein did not receive an apology from a man beating himself up on a podcast. They received one more reminder that the powerful operate by different rules. That the standard applied to them is internal, private and self-assessed. That the harshest critic of Keir Starmer is, conveniently, Keir Starmer, and that he has already delivered his verdict and found the sentence acceptable.
A Prime Minister who knowingly placed a compromised figure at the heart of Britain's most important diplomatic relationship, then watched the evidence trail go cold, then told the country he feels really bad about it, has not met the threshold that public office demands. He has met the threshold that self-preservation requires. Those are not the same thing. And the country knows the difference.
"It is the political equivalent of a public apology that asks the wronged party to comfort the wrongdoer. Starmer is not accepting consequences. He is asking for sympathy while retaining everything."

@DPJHodges Ordinary working people use social media Dan, that's how we know we have been played.

@jomickane I think you will fine that Starmer is Liar, I know it's hard to believe especially with his strong hand gestures and Lawyer type speak. But to be frank...he is a LIAR.
English

Keir Starmer says he had no idea about a smear campaign paid for by a Labour group: Think tank "Labour Together" are facing allegations they paid for an investigation into journalists.
Starmer is either a liar or he actually has no idea about anything thats actually going on in the Labour party.
How many times has he said recently "I had no idea this was going on and there will be an investigation"

@windgieindgie @LeeAndersonMP_ Rachel was good in accounts.....but a bit of a failure when promoted to a senior position. As head of UK accounts she is fucking useless. Enough said.
English

@LeeAndersonMP_ And Rachel Reeves is boasting about cutting the interest rates, which are governed by the Bank of England. Are you sure Rachel even worked in accounts?

@HoodedClaw1974 He needs to be removed from polite society....a poor effort from a poor wastrel.

@TheHughAnthony I think you may have a point Hugh! No chance the political class with take any notice though.

@GoodwinMJ "with a group of inter- faith women"..,,,,surely a joke! Goodwin is the only candidate who can put a stop to this illiteracy - please just return us to reality.

I refuse to be lectured to by Labour politicians who turned a blind eye to the mass abuse of working class children

@JWGv400 We live in globalised world and lower tier teams have worldwide supporters. I'm 25 and I support City since I was 8, I've never been a glory supporter, only true passion for the black and amber. I've been to Hull three times, I consider myself as a normal fan like everyone

Hull City having an Italian page is random to say the least😂
Hull City Italy 🇮🇹@HullCityItalian
Remember the 23rd manager in the Championship has done that. #hcafc

@DPJHodges Starmer is seen by his own people as an enemy of his own state, simple really.
