Imagine actually thinking that you don't like a candidate for Prime Minister because he's not entertaining enough. There's a weird personality cult around Johnson which is hard to fathom. Freud would have a field day with some of his fans.

Could not agree more, I'm just comparing them not defending him, as for dodgy car salesman, the less said the better about him the better, gets far too defensive.

I'm not worried about Starmer in either direction. He is most certainly a different character to our current PM (understatement).
Never looked to closely at his preferred attire, I thought that flares were a 70's thing. He can certainly talk the talk but, delivery is a problem for him.
It's just blah, blah, blah.
The interest rate rise is a nice cherry on the cake in his quest to deal with the economic crisis. Expected 10% inflation by the end of the year and interest rates rising at their fastest level for 20 years and the ecconomy now predicted to shrink in 2023 it's all going so well.
Btw. When questioned he stuck to his guns. He only apologised after every man and his dog proved him Wrong. What an embarrassment
The only time that Johnson has actually apologised was saying "sorry" multiple times during his Peppa Pig speech. He starts with "I would like to apologise...." and then never actually says sorry.

Style over substance started with Blair. Another unfortunate import from the USA

They were when he had them on, but I was referring to his Jenesequa his flair do keep up squire, he talks the talk because that's his job, like most of them , it's what they do best.

Sorry Chis. Rather than (alleged) flare, he'd be better off swallowing the truth pill and doing something meaningful about the cost of living crisis. 10% inflation, plus interest rate hikes will certainly make the public sector pay settlements interesting.
As usual, the MP's will be ok but, the rest will be expected to accept 2% if they are lucky.
Expect the "we're all in this together" nonsense coming out again.
