Chapo Trap House: Has there ever been a more born to lose guy than Keir Starmer?

This is from May last year but it's still well worth listening to. Other topics include Trump's calling the Kentucky Derby-winning horse a junkie, the Israeli state ("Kristallnacht every day"), and Elizabeth Warren's book Persist --- which I read at about the same time I read the equally magisterial EVERYWOMAN: ONE WOMAN'S TRUTH ABOUT SPEAKING THE TRUTH by Jess Phillips.

The discussion of Starmer, Jess Phillips, and the campaign against Corbyn starts just after the 32:00 mark....

More highly interesting stuff, also from May last year.

I wrote to the Grauniad email about three years ago, saying I will read all their content and not pay for it as long as they don't take Julian Assange's incarceration seriously and apologise for the abandonment and abuse of him.

It seems very manufacture to me that all of a sudden, just as Tory discontent with Johnson escalated, Starmer surges in the polls after being 20 points behind through all of the shit these public school sociopaths have been doing.

Suddenly the fraudian is going on about big poll leads and "the public is behind Starmer" and other such claims. Particularly in today's divided electorate, entrenched in camps with divisions sharpened via constant rhetoric and social media messaging, opinion polls don't just move thirty or forty points overnight. It's almost as if they are just making this shit up.

Now Starmer has purged anything resembling a left from the party, he's shown himself worthy of power and so we can now start reporting that polls have moved. I expect this to continue until Johnson gets the shove and then the polls will magically tighten up again closer to the next election.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
