How depressing it is to see [forum] readers joining in the denigration of Keir Starmer. What kind of country have we become when seriousness, integrity, diligence and intelligence are seen as negative qualities? Has the vacuous celebrity culture taken over our critical faculties to such an extent?

There seems to be no recognition of the political tightrope that Starmer is having to negotiate: how do you unite a party while ridding it of antisemitism? How do you win back Brexit voters in places such as Mansfield while satisfying young, radical urbanites? Those on the left who wish to see far more socialist policies need to understand that winning an election comes before any policy. The political reality is that Starmer has to preach to a very disparate congregation.

It is widely recognised that our best prime minister was Clement Attlee: a modest, self-effacing man who was efficient and pragmatic in office. If anyone to the left of this government wants to see it removed, they had better get behind Starmer.

quote:

The government has asked thousands of Germans residing in the UK to drive lorries to assist with the HGV shortage, even if they have never driven one before.

...

German driving licences issued before 1999 include an entitlement to drive a small to medium-sized truck of up to 7.5 tonnes. It is understood that almost all Germans residing in the UK who hold such a licence have been sent the letter, almost none of whom have ever driven an HGV before.

...

“We were quite surprised,” he said. “I’m sure pay and conditions for HGV drivers have improved, but ultimately I have decided to carry on in my role at an investment bank. My wife has never driven anything larger than a Volvo, so she is also intending to decline the exciting opportunity.

Spitting Image is a bit before my time but I remember my parents loving it. I know there is a Reagan sketch out there called "The Presidents Brain is Missing." I went to google to try and find it but I found this instead:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2013/oct/21/presidents-brain-missing-mislaid-body-parts

quote:

Who stole JFK's brain? It has been a mystery since 1966 when, three years after the president's assassination, it was discovered that his brain, which had been removed during the autopsy and stored in the National Archives, had gone missing. Conspiracy theorists have long suggested the missing organ would have proved Kennedy was not shot from the back by Lee Harvey Oswald, but from the front.
