Starmer should just say 'yes, I'm boring. I don't spend £1000 on gold wallpaper, I don't have affairs while my wife is having cancer treatment, I don't have secret meetings with Russians, I don't let my time have parties during lockdown, I follow the rules and I turn up for work'

@chemicollins @EllisLandreth1 I once described ants in French (in a hardware type shop) as ‘the little beasts from the garden who come into your kitchen’ and the man knew exactly what I meant!! I will never forget the French for ant now!

@Robert_E_Kelly The best thing was when you described your daughter as being a bit ‘hippity hoppety’. We could all benefit from being a bit hippity hoppety sometimes. Hope you’re having a great day.

I'm not a mum and I don't post on Mumsnet but I find it astonishing how many people who think they're the good guys find it ok to belittle and mock a huge community of women. It's become like 'Karen', a way to disparage women you don't agree with while feeling good about yourself
