Yet again, Keir Starmer shows he is a FOLLOWER, not a leader
Keir Starmer: too little, too late – again.
The leader of the Opposition (Susie Dent of Countdown) strikes again:

Keir Starmer certainly qualifies as a catchfart, then – only unlike The Agitator, above, I would suggest that his bosses are whoever runs the focus groups on which he seems to rely before making any move at all.
Why else would it have taken him five days to come up with the following?
An apology must be just the start.
Boris Johnson needs to confirm he won't nominate Owen Paterson for a peerage.
And he needs to commit to a full and transparent investigation into the £600m contracts handed to Randox – the company Paterson represented.https://t.co/QmMI5shDmo

Why did it take him the same amount of time to come up with this?

The rest of us came to that conclusion nearly a week ago. Starmer saying it now is too late. An Opposition leader tells us things that haven’t occurred to us yet, and suggests ways forward. He doesn’t.
And anything he does say is suspect, for a reason that should be very clear to every Labour party member:
Whatever Keir Starmer is telling you now has the same status as what he told the left when he wanted to get elected: none, he dumped all that. What makes you think he won't do the same with whatever you think he's promised you?

Perhaps this is the reason it’s the Green Party that has benefited from the Tory poll slump, rather than Labour?
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.

I actually agree with Keith ‘An apology must be just the start’, so when will he appologise?
I feel sorry for Susie Dent. Having to spend your working days with Rachel Riley and Anne Robinson could be absolute purgatory, although I imagine that RR is absolutely charming, when it suits her.
