As a model for dealing with backbench revolts this is a pretty good case study in how not to do it.

Describing members of his own party with genuine concerns as ‘noises off’ is surely a recruiting officer for more objectors

Who does he think he is impressing with this bizarre take?

“I’m not bad at politics!” Says the man so bad at politics he outsourced it to someone else …

What is it 50 Lib Dem defections needed to change the opposition?

mickft.bsky.social•2 days ago

It depends on who is defecting where. 25 Tory defections to the Lib Dem’s would be just sufficient. Tory defections to Reform would clinch it. Maybe a few independents might join the LibDems too if they became the official opposition. BBC would have to change their coverage of the LibDems too

I’m beginning to suspect he’s an idiot.

Giving Conquest’s 3rd Law a good test.

Genuinely surprised at how bad he is at this

I suppose by now we shouldn't be.

It really is funny how some people even here on bluesky defend him like their lives depend on him.

ANY little criticism and it's like their world has ended.

Most worrying of all, Starmer is such a cold fish he cannot comprehend that an MP would risk their livelihood so a vulnerable person is able to eat or wash.

This utter lack of empathy is frightening

Given how complex this is, and how many reasonable complaints there are about it, calling it 'noises off' is insanely insensitive.

He's really, really bad at this.
