My point is that Starmer is not visible in a time of crisis. The Grok issue was happening over new year and it took him two weeks to say something in parliament which most people won’t see. So he’s not visibly leading but hiding

Yeah, it’s the media who hate Starmer. My point was about him being invisible when Britain needs leadership. That’s not the media’s fault, that’s Starmer and the Labour Party

Thanks for proving my argument. How long after the story broke and how many of the British public are aware of what is said in parliament? And what about the others? The world is in chaos and on the precipice of worse, and where is Starmer?

Thanks for proving my point by recognising he’s been invisible on all the things I mentioned.

My feed is full of Carney and Macron but no Starmer. I’ve no idea what he is doing and I’m none the wiser from Milliband’s weak defence here.
