I agree. Perhaps his decryers could suggest any possible options if we want to save our country.
Personally, I can't think of anyone.

Interesting to watch a dustmite in intelligence, like Dawn Abbott insisting that the £22bn black hole is a thing to make anyone sad. They (Labour) created it, by paying train drivers 'et al' so much that today, they won't work on Sundays for £600 (more on it's own a week, than the average national wage). They also refused to work this weekend because they'd have had to walk over 25mm of snow to get to their trains, poor little darlings!

They should consider the three pensioners who have had to be robbed of their heat allowance for a year to provide the lousy £600 for one Sunday that they've turned their overpaid snouts at.

Starmer will end up the most despised PM of all time. Forget Jess Phillips being scared of 'offending' 45% of her constituents, who are Muslim, by declining a 'grooming gangs' enquiry, the PM is 'The Head Bastard of all time'. What a legacy for an arrogant zealot of self worship to look back on during his retirement.

That's IF, he makes it to retirement.

Meanwhile, big companies are cutting jobs and raising prices due to the hike in NI contributions and raise in minimum wage. Seems that Labour didn't foresee the somewhat obvious corollary to their budget decisions. And, of course, there are a surprisingly large number of pupils being taken out of private schools and now costing the taxpayer circa £7.6k pa to be state taught. So, not quite as big an earner for the coffers after all.

I saw today, that Starmer is thinking of stopping free prescriptions for us oldies.

Many old folks are on multiple drugs, and at £9.50 per item, I imagine many won't be able to have them if he takes away the help.

What with this, and the lack of winter fuel payments this winter, he doesn't half seem to have it in for us, nasty old git.

Well, he's already made a move at killing off some of the elderly by freezing them to death, so he might as well move onto the infirm now. The more of us he can cull, the quicker the waiting lists will drop.

Yes, but the funeral directors will think he's marvellous.

He'll probably find a way of issuing fixed penalty notices on hearses for driving too slowly🙄

.... and taking more money out of any inheritance from the estate to pay for ground rent on the gravesite.

There are several NHS Trusts declaring critical incidents. Something to do with respiratory problems in large numbers of the elderly brought on by the cold spell. Who could have predicted that? Oh yes Labour could. Their study when in opposition claiming the Tories were considering this same move predicted 3 to 4 thousand extra deaths among the elderly.

Let's not forget that Milliband will be excited too by the reduction in use of gas and electricity due to elderly not using heaters/boilers as much as they might have.

It's a win win win on Starmer's rack of misfortune.

Lets hope it's very close, however the conclusion is reached
