TOON TUESDAY #103

We begin this week where we left off last week - with Keir Starmer's premiership in tatters...

MEME MONDAY #83

Another bumper crop of memes from Karl to get through.  If it seemed like a long week, imagine how Chairman Starmer felt as he took blow after blow, day after day.  Remarkably, he emerged at the end of the week still at the helm and with no apparent intention of going anywhere.  Credit where it's due, the robot is clinging on.  For now...

Wed 13 May - 35 shares.  Unfortunately for Wes, it appears that he
didn't quite have the numbers to launch an immediate leadership
challenge and he'll now have to sit on the backbenches and await the
outcome of the Makerfield by-election

followers - like much of the country - are no longer interested in the blue half of
the Uniparty

Fri 15 May - 38 shares.  Originally posted lasted year,
when initial murmours of Burnham's attempted
leadership coup began to circulate.  The meme is
based on a famous scene from Game of Thrones in
which Stannis Baratheon's siege of Winterfell is
foiled by Ramsay Bolton (Farage)
Sat 16 May - 131 shares
Sat 16 May - 328 shares.  A reference to Starmer's ban on 11 Unite the Kingdom
speakers entering the UK.  It wasn't so long ago that he told a press conference
alongside President Trump:  "We have a long history of free speech in this
country and I'll defend it"
Sat 16 May - 246 shares
Sun 17 May - 256 shares.  JK Rowling may be at odds with the right on most
things, but no-one can deny that the author has a debilitating command of words
when it comes to rubbishing her opponents.  This was a cracking rebuke for
Starmer.
Sun 17 May - 24 shares.  The UK's solitary point at EuroVision came from the
Ukraine.  Scant return for £22billion sent to that country in the last four years!
Sun 17 May - 32 shares

A diverse series of Facebook Stories were put out last week.  Note that we are playing Devil's advocate somewhat with Starmer's leadership woes.  The truth is that we don't actually want him to go - he is the greatest threat to the Labour party in existence right now.  Toxic isn't the word!  Keep Keir!!
