I really don't understand the hatred for Starmer, every other Labour leader I can see how they could rub some people up the wrong way either through policy or personality.
But Starmer?
I keep seeing vox pops of people calling him the worst PM ever but then, when invited to elaborate, they just come out with platitudes like, "everything" or "he's destroyed this country" and details there are none.

Because that's what they're told.

These cretins seriously think he's worse than Liz Truss?

FMR...

It’s a negative feedback loop. People, particularly people who don’t generally pay much attention to matters political, are fed a constant, relentless diet of news and comment by multiple hostile right-wing news media outlets telling them that Keir Starmer is the worst PM ever (which he just isn’t) so that it takes on in their minds the status of accepted, unchallenged fact. Then a vox pop interviewer come along. …..
