If you care about Johnson’s dishonesty, don’t let Keir Starmer off the hook: The prime minister’s deceit is eroding our political norms – just look at Labour’s list of abandoned pledges

1. Do labour have a majority government an a member “acting” as PM?

2. Ah, the 10 Pledges when Starmer bait and switched the Labour members. I’m sure we can trust him now, he wouldn’t do it again at an election. Would he?

3. So, Owen Jones, we should all carry water for the Tories and rubbish the best Opposition we’ve had for years, just because he doesn’t suit your perfection?

   Owen Jones is not only a useless journalist, he’s actively sabotaging the current Labour party because his favourite ultra-left darling isn’t the party leader any more. He’s a waste of column-inches.

4. Whatboutism

5. Hey, at least he didn’t put them on a giant stone tablet.

6. Kier Starmer is nor running the country or setting out rules and break them.

7. I agree that someone flouting the rules should be investigated. Starmer was seen holding a drink and iirc eating a curry. It was nothing on the scale of parties with boozed up tories upchucking in the corner and I thought normal people agreed on this.

   This is what happens with “all or nothing” thinking. Of course it matters that Starmer’s thing was lesser. I don’t know what about his thing broke the rules. That said, I have really shown little interest in the DM’s stupid front pages, so if I’m totally wrong you can feel free to ignore me!

8. Clearly we need Corbyn back for a hat trick of election defeats to an ever more unpopular Tory party.
   How many arse kickings do these Corbynistas need at the ballot box before they actually accept the reality that not enough people will buy into their brand of politics.
   I in my 40s and I’d like to see the Tories out of power in my lifetime so can they just piss off back to the fringes where they belong so Labour can actually get in government and maybe actually do something.
