  1. they’re calling it the most authentic political intervention of all time

  2. >Asked whether people putting up the Union and St George’s Cross flags in the wake of asylum hotel protests could be considered racist, Starmer told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I am supporter of flags.”

    r/vexillology rejoice

  3. Because he is desperate to appeal to right-wing people? Why lie Kier?

  4. 🤣 he definitely does not have an England flag in his flat.

    We may have had worse, but have we ever had a more inauthentic politician as PM before?

  5. This guy is such a robot. Just an empty, empty person.

  7. ‘I am a man who has bought a local house in the area and I am inviting the local adults’

  8. As PM of the UK he should also have Scottish, Welsh and NI flags.

  9. His arse must be killing him from sitting on the fence over every. fucking. thing.

    It’s just boring now

  10. latest scandal: pm of uk and england has uk and england flags in his house

  11. Because he’s a right geezer and doesn’t mind a bit of flag shagging

  12. Dude’s a barrister by profession – partially has always explained why he vocalises like a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 when issues of this nature pop up.

    He probably struggles trying to wrap his brain ‘round why these flag shaggers suddenly care so much.

  13. Inauthentic perhaps but one of the better moves I think he’s made.

    The national flags are not for racist purposes whether someone wants it to be or not. It isn’t a racist symbol and should not be made into one.

  14. Next he’ll be telling us he drinks cans of Stella while watching footie.

  15. It’s either he feels the need to be performative or… Someone broke in and put it up with cable ties

  16. I genuinely read the first half of this article thinking it was satirical.

  17. I am a man of the people. I have an England flag. Did I mention that my father was a toolmaker?

  18. It’s probably true honestly.

    He’s so dull and having an England flag or cushions with LONDON printed on the, or a print of a red phone box with big Ben in the background is very much what the inside of the flat of someone with no personality is like.

  19. He needs to learn that nothing he does will be good enough for reform supporters. You can’t outflank Farage by moving right.

    Starmer could shove a flare up his arse and tattoo the flag on his face and the hotel protest crowd would still call him a briefcase wanker.

  20. Like he is ever going to outflag Farage and receive the majority of the flag shagger vote.

    Give it up mate , nobody is buying it.

  21. I’m not even sure how to respond to this transparently fake response to circumstances well within his government’s control to end discussion over.

  22. I heard someone talking about Keir Starmer on a podcast and how he is genuinely a big lifelong Arsenal season ticket holder and goes to many of the games etc but if you hear him talk about it he sounds like he’s full of shit and posturing. 

    This flag-shagging is orders of magnitude less convincing than that. Oh well. 

  23. Is it because flag shagging currently is polling high with Reform voters?

    The man doesn’t even take a shit without multiple focus groups after all

  24. They’ll talk about anything but the actual problems eh

  25. This guy will go down as possibly the strangest prime minister in British history

  26. Judging by the way he’s running the country? It’s there to wipe his arse on if he runs out of toilet paper.

  27. I’m not gonna believe until I see him with his top waving it at a footy match slightly drunk

  29. Tofu Keith – absorbs any flavour of the week to suit tastes.

  30. Everyone here seems to think that Keir wakes up everyday to personally shit on their cake. Yet only a few years ago we had a PM partying and boozing it up whilst people couldn’t see their loved ones and I do not recall such vitriol during that time. It was like it was expected. You’re all being manipulated by things unseen.

    Yes, he’s boring. Yes, he lacks energy. Yes, he’s made mistakes. But dear god, give the guy a chance

  31. No wonder he feels like we’re an island of strangers. Who wants to be friends with someone who flies an England flag.

    Hey Keir, now that you’ve decided to side with the racists why don’t you graffiti a roundabout and burn down a hotel. 

  32. I see no flags in there, just a lot of mini roundabouts.

  33. I would piss myself laughing if, at the next protests, they were all dressed as Kier bloody Starmer.

  34. Encourage people to put up flags, and then also pass a law where we can fine people who do not take appropriate care of their flags.

  35. If he really was working class we would have stone clad number 10 by now. And have a ford ranger on finance. And put the deposit on his credit card.  

    He’s not really even trying.  

  36. Seriously though – which firm handles Labour’s/Starmer’s PR??? It’s like they want him to constantly look insincere and inauthentic

  37. He’ll be claiming he owns a Stone Island jacket next.

  38. Next week, Keir will be repainting a roundabout with the George cross

  39. People have gotten too used to Government being a circus/soap opera.

  40. Why is the British Prime Minister posing with the England flag?

  41. This is parents joining a trend so the kids don’t think it’s cool anymore

  42. This is going to wind up the far left SO much and I am here for it

  43. WHEN WILL KEER STAMPER GO OUT AND PAINT THE MINI ROUNDABOUTS IN ISLONGTON NORTH 🤗

  44. If he has a flag, it should be the flag of the Union.

    He is the PM of the UK, not England.
