Isn't it refreshing that they have taken action over it?

Along with the changes they're making to enable titles to be removed, it sounds like there could be some proper clean ups happening.

But has had very little good to say about Starmer. Even in the run up to the GE it was all complaints about him being too careful. Now this latest barrage of attacks is all saying he's not good enough.

The only time he's positive is after PMQs because he regularly wipes the floor with Badenoch.

He has told people who support Starmer not to call in on 2 occasions in the last few shows.

I can only listen to a little bit live so mostly listen in catch up later.

Up until the last few days where I have switched off, I have listened daily for years. He has offered minimal praise.

He even specifically complained that they haven't done anything exciting so he can't talk about any of it.

Quietly improving things isn't good enough for him. He's just another one who is unable to wean himself off the drama.

Begrudgingly rather than frequently and usually because someone has messaged to tell him. It is always with a complaint that the government don't get the message out there saying it can't be all the media's fault.

Because he *is* the media and he refuses to accept any responsibility.

It's so one sided

Little to no mention of the good stuff the government has been doing, just a constant rant about why he thinks Starmer is terrible.

We don't need a showman for a PM. We need someone who gets things done.

Yes, he's making stuff for his own features now.

But he is leading a government making a lot of positive change, delivering on their promises and has vastly improved our standing on the world stage

What do you actually want from a leader, a showman or someone who is gets things done for the good of the country?

And to be clear, criticism of Starmer and the government is fine.

Excluding people who don't share his sudden hatred for Starmer is pathetic.

What is he scared of?

Starmer is probably the most decent man to hold the PM post since Gordon Brown. He's being hounded out in the same way.

That's my view, Mandelson has contacts in Washington, knows how it works and is a fixer, there's nothing to suggest he did anything other than a good job. And Starmer acted quickly as you say, unlike the Tories over the years who developed a reputation for never resigning or being booted out.

Ah cats are absolute arseholes aren't they! I bet she really loved having you as a pet and particularly enjoyed the way you played with the mice she brought you.

(And yes this is exactly the cleanser I'd like more of!)
