This weekend is demonstrating an unwavering truth of political reporting... Media commenters & analysts decry the chaotic psychodrama of leadership challenges & churn in the top job (with tales of its negative impact on UK politics & economics and the UK's international standing)... yet; they find it hard to hide their glee at filling their papers (and online presence) with speculation, profiles of possible contenders & argument(s) around 'new starts' for the Govt. [grinds teeth] #politics

    @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I can't remember, were they filled with as much concern during the previous 5 administrations?

  • @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us strikes me Starmer and his generation are still working from a pre-social media era. I’ve seen elsewhere loads of viral AI content against him. The campaign started around the Brexit period. I’m not a fan of Starmer but it’s interesting how he’s on the rocks after 2 years whereas the Tories had 14 years to screw things up. I see the same character assassination ramping up on Zak…

    @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I am surprised that Zionist Starmer is getting a hard ride from the Media.. at one time recently he was their favourite son Unless they expect nothing to change Perhaps at this time it's entertainment... when it push comes to shove they will become more partisan
