Sir Keir Starmer blunder

Extraordinary blunder yesterday, from a lawyer for heavens sake, who can't remember what he said in 2017. He repeatedly denied in PMQs that he wanted to stay in the European medicines agency, before a humiliating climb down last night. I want a decent opposition.

At least he had the dignity to accept he was wrong and apologies, has Boris ever told a lie in parliament ?

The go to source for political impartiality

Funny how the last several weeks boris has been totally humiliated but the media has chosen not to mention it.

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

The point is, something being published in the daily mail, has zero bearing on it being true or not. It's the equivalent of "some bloke down the pub told me...". Only more like "some racist bloke down the pub told me..."

It is a mistake to equate the accuracy of the guardian with that of the daily mail.

In truth, it would be more beneficial if people quoted the actual information being reported on directly, rather than linking to a newspaper that is reporting on the information.

And is the analysis of data sources on here done in a reasoned fashion? Nope it’s dismissed as either lefty bollocks or righty bollocks.

I think you've just proved what twisted is trying to say.

Apparently the Mail is so much worse than the Guardian. Who decides that? Because as far as I can see a right will see they mail is better and a lefty will say the Guardian is.

How about we all accept that one is left, one is right and they both print whichever way suits their narrative

The 'lefty 'one reports it in a measured tone concluding that starmer was in the wrong.

The other using hyperbolic language with no pretence at any impartiality at all.

I'm not left or right with my politics.

Neither side appeals to me.

The Guardian is a terrible news paper with poor quality journalism. But the Daily Mail is specifically known for promoting misinformation, and articles promoting xenophobia and transphobia. These are not two equally bias news sources.

Because 9 times out of 10 when it's in the mail it is bollocks.

The guardian is a centre leaning paper but it at least strives at impartiality.

The mail is a hate rag with zero credibility in regards to journalistic credibility.A middle class sun.

The fact that the 2 papers are serously compared on here is highly amusing.

"I rest my case everyone is talking about newspapers not the thread you have been suckered in yet again folks. "

Probably because this is not an interesting story:

Politiciann says something which contradicts what he said before. Apologised. End.

What's more interesting is the media slant, and how people perceive the media they consume and what effect it has on their outlook. Also interesting to see people point to the guardian as if it's somehow the non-right wing Daily Mail.

Much more interesting conversation.

"Extraordinary blunder yesterday, from a lawyer for heavens sake, who can't remember what he said in 2017. He repeatedly denied in PMQs that he wanted to stay in the European medicines agency, before a humiliating climb down last night. I want a decent opposition.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9219429/Furious-Keir-Starmer-confronts-Boris-Johnson-PMQs.html?ito=native_share_article-masthead

At least he had the dignity to accept he was wrong and apologies, has Boris ever told a lie in parliament ?

Probably, I've never voted for Boris, thread is about Sir Keir. "

Then I refer you to my previous reply, he had the dignity to accept he was wrong and apologies, is that an acceptable response ?

Well people who were there say that Sir Keir squared up to Boris after PMQs and had to be pulled away ranting and raving that he lied about the European medicines support.

Which turned out to be accurate and Sir Keir had forgotten.

Makes me question his mental stability and fitness to be opposition leader tbh.

I wonder why that is? Well I don't really, it's because they don't find it interesting and no one would spend much time commenting if they opened their own post on the subject, so they use it simply as a platform to spout what they want to talk about.

Personally I think Mods should step in when deliberate detailing happens.

Everybody would be surprised if you were not feeling like this so who cares? Surprisingly I wonder how a pm who has been an office for a year and still hasn’t answered a single question in a straight manner is fit for purpose or if his mental aptitudes are adequate.

You're suggesting that the mods should remove posts that discuss the source of information quoted. But leave posts, like yours, that are discussing the discussions of the source of information quoted?

Mark Francois said so according to the guardian:

Between Chichester and Havant

I've become bored with these threads as they just keep going round and round with the same protagonists trying to shout louder than the other.. but the interesting thing about this thread, when I pointed out a few weeks ago that all media is bias to some extent, whether paper, TV station, website etc, with very few genuinely unbiased I was shot down in flames. Now I see those same protagonists saying there are bias in the newspapers! Who'd have thought?

Well, the Guardian has often been discredited here by a lot of people. As for Mark Francois, if you’ve read the article in the Guardian as I have, you should probably mention what the Labour Chris Matheson said. It’s in the line just below. Dare to quote it?

No one denies every single news outlet is biased to a certain degree.

However there are degrees of bias.

No argument the guardian is a centre leaning newspaper ,however it doesnt resort to hysterical headlines and at least aims for impartiality.

For example look at the recent eu ireland issue which the pro eu guardian, criticised heavily.

Now compare that to the mail.

Just go and Google daily mail eu or jeremy corbyn and see how many hits you get.

How someone can sit there and say with a straight face that the mail is a credible source of news Is beyond me.

It's gonna be quite hard to discuss politics if people are not going to accept any source at all lol.

Mark Francois

Yes yes francois haha yes lol very good yawn

My impartial opinion is that Starmer is not upto the job which is a serious matter.

Because he was wrong on 1 occasion and apologised?

Because the reports I give weight to yesterday make him sound unhinged and forgetful, which no amount of apologies are going to fix next time he blunders. "

Wasnt he a qc previously?

Do you get many successful forgetful lawyers?

"I rest my case everyone is talking about newspapers not the thread you have been suckered in yet again folks.

Probably because this is not an interesting story:

Politiciann says something which contradicts what he said before. Apologised. End.

What's more interesting is the media slant, and how people perceive the media they consume and what effect it has on their outlook. Also interesting to see people point to the guardian as if it's somehow the non-right wing Daily Mail.

Much more interesting conversation.

Well people who were there say that Sir Keir squared up to Boris after PMQs and had to be pulled away ranting and raving that he lied about the European medicines support.

Which turned out to be accurate and Sir Keir had forgotten.

Makes me question his mental stability and fitness to be opposition leader tbh.

Who said he squared upto him?

Mark Francois said so according to the guardian:

"The Conservative MP Mark Francois, who made a point of order after PMQs reading out some pre-prepared comments quoting Starmer on the EMA, later claimed he had seen Starmer angrily confront Johnson in the lobbies after their exchange"

I don't make this stuff up you know

Well, the Guardian has often been discredited here by a lot of people. As for Mark Francois, if you’ve read the article in the Guardian as I have, you should probably mention what the Labour Chris Matheson said. It’s in the line just below. Dare to quote it?

Free country mate you can quote it yourself although you have just said others have rubbished it as a source... Can't win lol"

Free country... lol

Your sense of honesty is probably not getting too much in the way is it?

Chris Matheson said the description was untrue ‘it’s absolute bollocks’. ‘There was a brief chat and Keir and I left together’.

How can you have a reasonable discussion if people don’t even have the courage to have a minimum of integrity when posting.

Mark ‘where has he been for the last 12 months ‘ Francois? He was probably seething because the speaker shut down the pathetic question he asked in parliament , the man is an imbecile

"I've become bored with these threads as they just keep going round and round with the same protagonists trying to shout louder than the other.. but the interesting thing about this thread, when I pointed out a few weeks ago that all media is bias to some extent, whether paper, TV station, website etc, with very few genuinely unbiased I was shot down in flames. Now I see those same protagonists saying there are bias in the newspapers! Who'd have thought?

Who are the unbiased sources in your opinion?"

There aren't any. That was my point as I'm sure you remember Lionel. How many people actually write or say something that is unbiased? Certainly not on these threads, so why different anywhere else? Everyone has an opinion, a leaning one way or another, there is always a side to everyone. I seem to remember saying that I might read something and then make up my own mind on how biased that story, statement might be. I take information from wherever and decide for myself whether I believe it or not. Yes on many subjects I lean one way or the other, which will colour my opinion. Anything truly independent and unbiased? As I said very rare, if at all.

"Several MPs". They saw him challange Boris at close quarters.

Which means he spoke to him while standing close to him.

"According to the extensive report in the Times, there very much was a confrontation between Keir and Boris and Keir was out of control. So that's three sources from across the spectrum. Was he spinning like a weather vain depending on which way the wind was blowing.

What’s a weather vain??? Sorry there bob i know grammar and spelling are your big concern and you cannot understand anything that is written unless every letter ,comma and semi colon are correct.Maybe that school of life didnt work out for you to well after all.Vane understand now?

Not really but I’m not sure what vains have to do with the weather. Maybe that’s a school of life thing. I didnt think you would somehow you never could in the past. "

Bloody tories. Stuck in the past.

"Just reading those 2 articles its crystal clear why the daily mail is respected throughput journalism as a bastion of integrity and impartiality.

Once again Lionel we agree, brilliant paper.

Yep cant go wrong with a paper that openly supported Mussolini."

Whereas you love a paper that was a supporter of the slave trade,

"I rest my case everyone is talking about newspapers not the thread you have been suckered in yet again folks.

Probably because this is not an interesting story:

Politiciann says something which contradicts what he said before. Apologised. End.

What's more interesting is the media slant, and how people perceive the media they consume and what effect it has on their outlook. Also interesting to see people point to the guardian as if it's somehow the non-right wing Daily Mail.

Much more interesting conversation.

Well people who were there say that Sir Keir squared up to Boris after PMQs and had to be pulled away ranting and raving that he lied about the European medicines support.

Which turned out to be accurate and Sir Keir had forgotten.

Makes me question his mental stability and fitness to be opposition leader tbh. "

It is possible to ignore the odd typo, autocorrect, poor grammar or just a mistake, we all make them after all.

But it's so much easier to ignore a post that you cant produce an answer to by claiming you dont understand it.

Not for some it seems they do not understand when you write weather vain instead of weather vane, its lucky i didnt write weather vein that would have caused even more outrage.If i had said i was dyslexic he would have looked a real fool but im not that cruel.

Good point

Lets completely ignore the fact the mail openly supported facism because the propertieer of another paper had links to the slave trade 3 centuries ago.

And I get accused of whatabouttery.
