  1. >Keir Starmer has urged his shadow cabinet to stop briefing the press that he is boring, warning them: “What’s boring is being in opposition.”

    >Stung by a series of negative stories about his leadership, Starmer angrily urged colleagues at Tuesday’s shadow cabinet meeting to focus on the job in hand, telling them it was “boring” to undermine Labour’s project of getting back into government.
    >
    >Several of those around the table then echoed their leader’s calls for unity and discretion, in a lengthy exchange described by one shadow frontbencher as “ironically very boring”.

    Gonna get ready for the boring reponses to this by getting a strong drink for myself.

  2. I was so happy to have Trump our on his ear and replaced with boring Biden, and it is great to not have to wake up to the latest update on what stupid thing he’d done today…

    But it seems Biden running a competent administration, or at least not a blatently corrupt one just allows all the good things to be drowned out by the never ending firehose of crazy from the other side.

    I have no doubt should labour win the next election the same thing will happen, any positive news will be buried with yelling about immigrants and how Starmer is putting soya sauce in the water to make everyone gay

  3. I’d take boring every day over the current ‘exciting’ shitshow of a government. I don’t need headline grabbing antics, just a government that actually gets on with running a country would be nice.

  4. Emulate Blair is the only way to win is what I keep hearing, but ignore the charm, likability (in the 90s) and excitement aspect?

  5. People seem to think politics should be like a version of a tv show. Right now, I couldn’t care how boring a leader is, so long as they have standards, know what they are doing and just get on and run the country in a fair and just way.

    If you want someone who you can go for a beer with, give a mate a call, and let sensible people run the country

  6. Of course he is fucking boring! No leadership. A weak politician. Show balls! No way labour wins anything thing serious with him. Omg!

  7. May you live in interesting times is a curse not a blessing. I’ll take safe and “boring” in these turbulent times. Soothe the situation and stabilise things.

  8. Why do MPs so often act like teenagers?

    Yes, politics is boring. It should be. You’re supposed to be engaged in the serious work of running a country, not entertaining yourself with petty drama.

  9. I’ll take someone boring, responsible & just generally more qualified over a celebrity buffoon with a terrible history of lying cheating scheming and just generally being an awful human being.
