Should Keir Starmer be visiting those impacted by flooding?

The PM can’t be everywhere. He has ministers to deal with these issues 🙄

I doubt he will, as he's seen what happened in Spain. And in all fairness, these visits by officials and heads of state mean nothing but an opportunity to make themselves look good. He'd better help people by doing his job.

I’d rather have him tackling the causes of the flooding in the long-term than doing unproductive publicly shots for the news. He just needs to concentrate on getting good people in local government with the finance in place to repair the damage done

We all know what happens when these ‘elected’ people rock up after an event and that’s why Starmer wouldn’t dream of coming now…

He's a human being not a Time Lord. Meanwhile another Tory is hiding their wealth from scrutiny. Still corrupt.

🤮 how many £ billions on carbon capture? What a sickening waste.

Why not make bio diesel instead, from algae..

I live in a flood town and it means a lot to get a visit from the PM

brumus.bsky.social•96 days ago

What, so he can get a few photo opportunities? That smacks of Johnson & Truss. I think it’s much better for him to stay where he’s most effective, overseeing the relevant local people who are involved in coordinating help for you.

Well we got Brown and Cameron!

Poor question. Decent answer. Nice one Peter Kyle.

It's a stupid question

He probably learned after going to southport that this sort of thing is pointless. Just gives dickheads who watch to much GB news a chance to get on camera and shout abuse.

I voted labour, im a social democrat, but I can't quite believe how much being in government seems to instantly sanitize any free thought. Its shameful and ridiculous. Just answer a simple question. No wonder people say "they're all the same". This kind of answer literally shows they are 🤦🤦

Why can't politicians grow a pair and just be prepared to answer questions?

The public would be so surprised that it would rapidly snowball into support.

We need aspiration, not obfuscation.

brumus.bsky.social•96 days ago

You’d really rather have him be like Johnson, turning up for a photo opportunity, clowning around with a mop in his hand, enjoying himself? No, Starmer takes his job seriously & I’m sure uses his time more efficiently to ensure that local help is the best it can be.

If he goes it wrong if he stay it wrong . The man cannot do anything. Next headline kier breaks a finger nail . What shall we do then .
