‘I’m looking forward to opening the throttle,’ leader tells Labour as he urges party to be ready for 2023 election

Johnson will push ahead with legislation to abolish the 2011 Fixed Term Parliaments Act – which created a five-year period between elections and limited a prime minister’s ability to decide when to go the country – in the Queen’s speech on 11 May. Labour will back the abolition, although it will allow Johnson to choose the most politically favourable moment to hold an election.

God help us

The problem is you have layers of masks.

Just concerned that if he takes his mask off, we will see his Tory mouthpiece...

So far he hasn’t been the opposition that the country needs.

Keir Starmer without the mask is just another tory white middle-aged man. Why would you buy Lidl gin when you can get Gordon’s Gin for the same price?

“I’ll take my mask off”? Is he Zoro?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

FreeTheNorth Starmer is a Southern Lump

Is there a Union Flag underneath?

Could you not have done that this entire time?

Take of masks and out doing Boris at Flag shagging! Brilliant!! Seems Boldrick is K’s political advisor with his cunning plans

Like the mask he wore when Keir stood on his 10 socialist pledges & unity ticket to con the Labour membership & get elected? From then on he has been in thrall to the Progress/Labour First wreckers (who brief the G) & has kicked us socialists at every single turn.

All talk and no trousers as we up here in the North say. NorthernIndependenceParty it's the future.

I’m sure I’ve seen something like this before, now where was it? Oh yes, now I remember. Whatever happened to him, I wonder.

Huh, I hadn’t thought of the Theresa May comparison but that does feel about right. Technocratic, cool to the point of detached, and, so far, without any real distinguishing features. Just an average politician. Sure he’s a lovely guy trying his best. Not winning me over though

A worse turn of phrase than IDS 'turning up the volume'.

You mean all this time he's just been hiding behind a mask? Maybe there is still hope then.

Where's the leadership challenge?

I can’t begin to imagine the mess this guy would have got us in to had he been in charge over this pandemic. I can’t see me voting Labour ever again. I don’t know who they are or wha they are any more.

Keep it on and dont bother. Your not even opposition material nevermind PM material.

Sorry bland, ineffectual and has alienated a huge section of Labour support.

Sorry Sir Kier, you’re not the man for the job. Your response to anything the Tories reveal is so flat and uninspiring. I wanted you to be the one, but there’s little outrage from you, just a nah nah na-na nah playground rebuttal. Be outraged & articulate - then plan real action.

Worst choice of words ever

This is going to be one of those Scooby Doo moments isn't it? And we'll all say 'Milton Friedman, the American architect of neoliberalism!' and he'll say 'And I woulda gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you pesky kids!'

😂😂😂

He took his mask of alleged competence off long ago.

Labour will not win with Keir Starmer.

The press Baron's man of the hour🤣

So being absolutely useless,unprincipled and lacking in any discernable leadership skills is all down to wearing a face mask?

When he takes his mask off is he going to turn into Andy Burnham?

Ooooo scared! Missed an open goal with the Vax passports too! Should have been monumental, shouting from the rooftops outrage, not just 'it's not British'!

No thank you!

What does Sir Keri Starmer stand for? 1YearOfKeir

I had (and still do have) hopes for Starmer. It is not easy being leader of the opposition during a pandemic when the focus is on anything but his policies. But he will need to get his skates on...

I'd prefer a Labour Prime Minister to SIR Keir Starmer

This is the oddest ... I’ve no words

So your lack of effectiveness as leader of the opposition was due to wearing a mask?

STARMER: 'The next election, whenever it comes, will be a once in a lifetime chance to get Britain working for everyone.' In fact, the 'once in a lifetime chance' was in Dec 2019. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

Too late. It was too much hype and no trousers.

Nah

No one gives a shite

Why did he have a mask on in the first place? Seems a bit dodgy doesn’t it

(except it's post-2005 decrepit, authoritarian, war criminal, preacher-era Blair, but also very boring and incompetent)

Repeating over n over to win the election n be PM is becoming an obsession. Why don't try to unite the Labour party instead to repeat this annoying mantra? We need a program that shows to be a labour one, not a patchwork to collect votes.

JamieBr38739595 If you really think this stunt is going to improve his standing

Unfortunately he’s another one part of the establishment. Labour needs someone fresh, a modern leader who would be able to take the party to a win. With Keir at its helm no one cares as Labour has no values, no point of view, nothing to attract the young ( and the old ).

Is his mother called 'Martha'?

Mr. Keir Starmer would you consider to advocate for the Canada's working class on the nefasto NAFTA which makes the rich richer & Mr. Justin Trudeau while Ontario premier monsieur Doug Ford cut already 72 social programs in $12 billions to meet the province deficit?

Why would you need a mask .?

Oh dear..... there is an unsavoury element to this analogy....

The weekly Sunday labour party political broadcast from the rag.

What does that mean? Does it involve a big thick pickle?

I despise Johnson, but what does Starmer stand for?

Wow. Can't wait.

Keir hasn't masked his intentions one bit since being elected as LOTO. He did mask his intentions 100% during his leadership campaign I believe, along with his funding sources. Happy to be corrected Keir_Starmer

I think we know who we're going to see...

lmao

Probably a good idea to throw some policies together first.

‘Turning up the volume’ flashbacks.

Surely even the English can see its time to vote out the duopoly once and for all?

2023? Not a chance.

A politician never takes their mask off.

Useless.

C’mon, who in Starmer’s office came up with this drivel? They need to go now before it’s all too late.

If there was an election tomorrow you would be in with a chance - mask or no mask - job description-strong honest leader with a grasp of reality - that’s what the country needs - that’s not what we’ve got ☹️

Keeping your mask on would show better why you are smart enough to be Prime Minister.

It may be too late when he takes his mask off - his silence thus far is revealing......

If he wants to be the opposition he needs to stand up open his mouth and oppose the vaccine passports for the U.K. in all settings..

Why can't we have a thriving 3rd party in this country? I'm tired of these two clowns 🤡

That’s just weird

Not yet dude. Put your mask back on. WrongMetaphor.

picture editor needs a raise

Nah, don't bother. You keep the mask on your position on, eg trans issues, that AS report from a year (you were more concerned with who leaked it than what it said). There are other examples. Keep your mask on and keep your distance from the Labour party

April fools was Thursday Keir. You've more chance of getting an England call up for the Euros.

Enough tories without another one ffs 🤦‍♀️

Is it possible to find a good guy on Twitter?

sorry, not sorry, he's a muppet

If I wanted a Tory as PM I would just vote for them.

God help us

You better.

Mate, if you can't skewer flubber johnson, you couldn't hit a pig's arse with a banjo.

How about he just does something. Anything. BE THE OPPOSITION FFS!
