"....first time since the general election of 2019 when we finally sent that corduroyed communist cosmonaut into orbit where he belongs" - priceless, a new abbreviation for Jezza is born CCC. Enjoy the whole show from approx 10 mins in:

The problem is COB is yesterdays news.

I know this is just a Party conference but he would do well by dropping the clown act and comedy jokes (that is a good one though) and telling us how he is going to get the country going.

And whe he is going to shut that godamn awful wife of his up.

[Gromit]

Leaders speeches to Conference are preaching to the converted, it how it plays to the rest of the country that matters.
A quick poll by Opinium suggests that voters thought Starmer’s speech last week was better.

[ToraToraTora]

what the one where he was booed by his own party gromit? that's probably why it was more popular! I know I loved it!

[youngmafbog]

To be fair though Sir Kier got booed by the Commies he is trying to kick out.

Were you there booing Gromit?

[ToraToraTora]

I think Gromit's with the Lib Non Dems!

Bet they're X-Factor fans … you know, the ones who love a good milking of a tear-jerking tale about dear old dads and angelic mums. I thought his speech was pathetic - and if they'd asked me I'd have said so.

[youngmafbog]

Oh, my apologies Gromit, based on your posts I always thought you were a red under the bed. Sorry.

[gulliver1]

Only seen parts of Boris's speech on news clips, it was more like a comedy act .

[youngmafbog]

Problem is Naomi, IMHO we are comparing crap with crap.

[ToraToraTora]

I bet gully was there!

[naomi24]

I disagree, ymb. I like Boris.

// , based on your posts I always thought you were a red under the bed.//

no Gromit - you have something red IN the bed, innit - secret luvva-boy you !
not enought smut on this thread as far as I am concerned

[Gromit]

I did not watch either speech.

Radio 4 thsi am 0800 - marxist ( beebster that is!) listening to employer bleating about

(oops - just heard about the Rothera antarctic station: I was at uni with the grandson) - about wages expenses and if you pass it onto the consumer to maintain profits then the prices go up

marxist ecstatic

abattoir workers arent MPs you know.....
case of one abattoir worker getting his gun and saying
" I am James Bond OO7 I am" and then stunned another worker beside him
stunner didnt realise there was a spring which took your braynz out
( convicted: manslaughter)

[ichkeria]

There was certainly more policy in Starmer’s.

[ToraToraTora]

gromit: "But Boris’ is being trashed by business leaders " - no sheet Sherlock! Of course they are trashing the PM, they are the cause of supply problems and don't like being called out for it.

[naomi24]

Ich, but whether it was workable is open to speculation. Hot air is free - like everything else labour reckons it would provide. :o)

[grumpy01]

Let’s be fair,you couldn’t make one good one out of the pair of them.

[Ellipsis]

Andrew Neil summed it up nicely:

"This winter we're going into a serious cost of living crisis which will hit the poorest most of all, we don't know when the shortages on the supermarket shelves or the petrol forecourts will end.

"We don't know what the policy is on social care, we don't know what the policy is on the NHS, other than to bung it more money, and we don't know what 'levelling up' means."

"You can have more alliteration, as Mr Johnson had, than a West Coast poet from the 1960s on LSD. That's all fine.

"But we're a country with major problems and we need to know the Government's solution to these problems and on that Mr Johnson had not a jot."
