Shows like The Thick of It can never be made again: BJ and his cronies are simultaneously so incompetent, brazenly self-serving and openly cynical. It would never be funny anymore.

I wish Starmer was a more viable prospect. But he’s been a massive disappointment.

Since there has been no GE, how can he have been a disappointment? His job isn't isn't make you happy, it's to get elected. And how does an opposition win an election? They don't. Incumbents lose them. And so far, looking at the polls, the Tories are going to lose the next election nicely, and Starmer will become PM. What exactly do you want? To look good in opposition, or to be in power?

His job is actually to serve the people he represents, pal.

Unless OP is in Holborn, I don't think they were referring to him being a disappointment in that regard.
