Unfair, he *is* surely remarkable for his unremarkableness. In fact the British public have been screaming out for an unremarkable PM for ages. Hail Keir! Blessed are the unremarkable! Etc.

He is nobody

I think you might be confused, he is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom ........that's surely somebody, somebody quite important, whether you like it or not.

I know he is the PM of the UK. But Elon Musk considers him Nobody. He wants him to step down.

ferguspike.bsky.social•60 days ago

I'm sure he's writing his resignation speech as we speak.

metoodear.bsky.social•60 days ago

Yeah, he is under pressure and will likely resign soon. He should have given a shut up call to Elon Musk for interfering in the UK's democracy, but he has proven to be a pygmy.

Who do you think would be best to replace Starmer?

My choice of adjectives would have been a little less kind.

There he stands, gazing resolutely into the middle distance, as if seeing a vision of Britain no one else has quite managed to spot. Or maybe he’s just wondering if he left the oven on. Either way, it's leadership in action.

Starmer, to his credit, has managed the herculean feat of becoming prime minister of a country that doesn’t seem to like him very much

It’s as if the British public collectively sighed, “Fine, you’ll do,” before returning to their tea and biscuits. Leading a fractured Labour Party is no picnic either; you’ve got Momentum demanding revolutionary change while the centrists just want their Waitrose loyalty cards back.

Keir’s knack for uniting people by disappointing all of them equally has been particularly evident in his tax proposals.

rupertrivett.bsky.social•60 days ago

Farmers, once stalwart Labour voters (or at least they were when rationing was still a thing), have been asked to dig deep into their overalls to help fund the country’s “bright future.”

Because, of course, nothing says gratitude for producing the nation’s food quite like taxing them into oblivion while letting big agribusiness stroll away whistling.

Many of us in the US would be delighted to accept him at the top, if it could be arranged.
