UK doctors accuse Keir Starmer of sabotaging talks to end pay and jobs dispute

I propose the word "Starmer" to mean do something between Stall and Squander a process while pretending to be supporting it.

Ex. I Starmered my daughter's desire to play the Drums by proposing a series of family meetings to discuss whether everyone would be okay with her taking up the Drums which would culminate in a breif window of an hour or two, two weeks later, where she could submit a 10 point plan to the family about her taking up Drumming that would then be amended in a series of bilateral talks and finally further ratified after the Family Meeting Recess period is over in a month or two.

Starmer is a dickhead, a bully and incompetent. I hold that view alongside the view of the wider (everyone else except doctors) that there is a huge discrepancy between. 1 What the nurses were told about their % pay award being the absolute limit vs the % uplift recieved by the doctors 2. Getting rid of the entirety of NHS England without evidence to suppor his claims of "not needed" 3. Agreement to fund Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) HUGE redundancies to cover thier downsizing. No plan or sense of how CCGs can even function (keep patients safe, or even consider the ongoing activity) without those people. 4. ALL other staff being screwed with pay awards and now laving in their droves.

So yes, he's a dickheads without a plan.
