Keir Starmer’s deluded backers should learn one lesson from this stubborn northerner | UK | News

Let me introduce you to a small economic theory – not the most exciting way for a column I accept, but with me. Sunken cost error is the place where individuals have a prejudice to continue an action process due to money or effort when they already invest. In other words, despite the evidence, they throw logic to the winds and continue with something bloody, even if they are blindly open, it is a miserable failure.

Imagine that workers’ deputies continue to support Keir Starmer in the face of all the indicators that modern (or indeed old) days are one of the least competent and at least popular PMs and one of the election disaster. As a challenging Yorkshireman, of course, I have experienced madness with its own sunken cost error.

A few months ago, he usually had a small accident of Mrs. T. A pair of pants left a blue one in the pocket. Now the disturbing product survived the 40C washing, but the contact with the laundry dryer has proven to be more catastrophic.

The pen itself was unrecognizable and strangely bent with heat. However, the damage of the ink was the Bible. My white work shirts, sheets, the lower parts – they all jumped with blue stains everywhere. And impossible to remove. If you are not at the Glastonbury Festival, the death of tie death cannot be completely overcome.

I may have expressed my discontent, have ride a few items and download them to experience.

Although it was not destructive until the next week, it continued to be new stains in different clothes. We gave the Tambura a good clean and thought.

But no. Although color changed from Bic blue to a dirty greenish gray, it continued for a year. And every time it happens, I convince myself that it should definitely be the last time – no ink.

My wife’s brave efforts to improve my “smart daily” appearance (just for 23 years) light blue jeans shirt, a fancy brown summer t -shirt jump with a stain on my holiday shorts.

Sometimes I managed to ignore the stain on a shirt cuff or hide the colorlessness next to some buttons.

But most of the time he left my wardrobe beyond saving.

Finally, I brutally invested in a new laundry dryer. The cost is 250 £. Is the price of clothes destroyed? Double.

For stubborn North people, the lesson is sometimes listening to the economists and biting the bullet if something breaks.

After the first joined the Express in 2000, it is time to finally pack the notebook and the pencil and continue. It was a privilege to serve Express readers over the years. You are interesting, polite, grateful and thought. And in terms of politics? As they say, it’s not too much right wings, it’s true.

I also say goodbye to many new and old colleagues. You are in good hands. At least the bright Frances Millar, the caregiver of this column.

And God, it was a fun career.

I’m going to new pastures. Or placed in the pasture. Which one will we see!

My departure will see that the number of people wearing ties every day in the office has fallen to zero. When I started at Fleet Street, the boss in another title sent a reporter home because he was the theme of wearing brown shoes. How did things change.

I often find the subject of strange raised eyebrows with the only spirit that wears a suit and tie, with other passengers, pastel open -necked shirts and chinos.

When I see a friend wearing a tie, we share a secret head. Don’t talk about Tie Club’s first rule, Tie Club.

And then we carefully squeeze our Windsor node.
