brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

HDV voted through, has he even vocally opposed it yet?

More needs to be done than mere lip service or polite letters from Lammy to stop this rot.

There were sickening scenes at that meeting tonight in Chakrabortty's reportage, too many to mention as well.

The gigantic mound of paperwork that tenants were supposed have digested in a couple of days.

The fucking slug-like councillor talking about the poor doors like he was a good honest guy for being so upfront.

and this bit was nice:"After hearing dozens of councillors and locals raise serious questions and objections, Haringey cabinet kick out public."

and this"Another cllr raises point I made today: the council promises right of return but docs show they'll prioritise tenants being moved (out) once"

Best wishes to you and yours, cal. This really needs to be jumped on now but I'm not seeing any major news sources talking about it. This fucking country.

Thanks Jed, if she was on her own she would living from foodbanks rn - like many are. As it is we are currently in a financially reduced situation rather than a completely disastrous one. So I can't moan when some have got it much worse, but yeah fuck this government and these apparatchiks of austerity who "are just doing their jobs" fucking over disabled people. Oh yes, there will be gulags for them as well after the big inquest!

Imagine Nick Robinson repeated asking Darling on Today earlier if he was ever going to get his party back. These fucks are losing complete comprehension of reality rn.

Do these Haringey councillors a) not take seriously the possibility of deselection for next years local elections b) don't care and are determined to force this through come what may?

Haringey councillors now accusing him of outright lying about the Asian Centre.

I'm guessing that Haringey no longer has any local paper with the resources and inclination to cover this story properly?

Chakrabortty is getting the ad hominemming of his life from Cllr Joe Goldberg on Twitter rn, and as a bonus JG is complaining about Labour lefties' criticism of him being inherently anti-Semitic.

JG using that tired line that Chakrabortty is commenting from a position of "elite privilege" . Yes we know he is a Guardian journalist you corrupt dickhead.

People who are not from a position of "elite privilege" where unceremoniously dumped out of the chamber, so somebody needs to be.

How much influence does the leadership have over what local councils do? Serious question.

This guy seems... odd?

Indeed and I wrote to you to urge you to take action on anti-semitism (twice) and you never even replied https://t.co/CVhdxhZuZC

You are obviously not familiar with this thread: Local councillors

A lot of London Labour councils are just really bad because they've operated for decades with virtually no opposition. They become complacent at best and entirely mendacious at worst, with than veneer of "but we're Labour so we must be the good guys really".

lol, he's attacking him as part of the 'elite' for going to the same state school that i did.

That worked out really well for the Labour Party in Scotland after all.

I was just about to make an almost identical post to Tom D abt Scotland.

Sounds like there may be a new scandal brewing just when they (or presumably the country) doesn't need there to be one with the bigger group they're part of. Are the Tories going to start looking justified in light of this or will it be spun that way.
Are there further Tory scandals that need to be outed yet, or immminently?

Look I love my ilx UK cru but cmere

this is a problem all over the country, council meetings becoming formalities with the real discussion happening elsewhere, they've become very undemocratic

Let's cheer up with a quote from Angela Rayner, describing Arlene Foster: 'the most expensive right-winger since Cristiano Renaldo'.

if Angela Rayner knew football that joke could've landed

Dominic Cummings, the Vote Leave campaign director, described the referendum as a “dumb idea” before other ideas had been tried to win back powers from Brussels. He has also warned that Brexit is shaping up to be a “guaranteed debacle”, without big changes in Whitehall to deliver a successful negotiation.

Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat leader, seized on the comments, saying: “Dominic Cummings has let the cat out of the bag. This is the man who slapped the £350m NHS lie on the side of the bus who is now saying leaving the EU could be a mistake.

“These Brexiteers have sold us a pup and lied to the public. This is why I believe the public should be given a say on the final Brexit deal.”

People keep saying the phrase "sold us a pup" as if it's nbd.

Since when did pups take preference over pigs in a poke?

during classic famine conditions I'm sure a pup would contain slightly less protein than a pig in a poke.

Arr, but a pig in a poke is really a cat in the bag!

Jones, who is standing as a candidate on Wednesday to become a representative of backbenchers on Labour’s parliamentary committee, said he would use the position to fight for greater attention of white working-class voters. He wants Corbyn to address perceptions that the leadership is not patriotic and does not support the deployment of nuclear weapons, he said.

“How thick does this party have to be? We have not learnt the lessons from the rise of the BNP [in the 90s]. Our core voters cannot be taken for granted. These are people who have been let down by political elites for decades. They see themselves as being at the back of every queue.

“We have to talk about their concerns – counter-terrorism, nationalism, defence and community, the nuclear deterrent and patriotism,” said Jones, who represents Hyndburn in Lancashire.

Asked if he was concerned that the party could sound as if it was appealing to racist sentiments, Jones said: “It is not about that. There are genuine concerns about wages being undercut. We have to arrived at a point where these communities in England can no longer be ignored. And if we fail to address it, we are finished.”

Graham Jones suggesting that genuine concerns are the new legitimate concerns.

Depressed wages in working class communities? Wheel out the nuclear deterrent and get talking about nationalism.

cunts like that should actually be in the BNP

Working classes talk about little else but deploying nuclear weapons tbf.

"some idiot in Iran" is often a hot topic amongst the masses (erm.. well amongst about 7 old corpulent half dead tory twats) of the West Riding branch of the Masonic Lodge.

To be fair to Graham Jones, he's seen Anne Waters resign from the Labour Party on the grounds of them not doing enough for women's rights and move to standing for the leadership of UKIP (where she's considered too close to T0mmy R0bins0n to be a serious candidate).

Graham Jones is vile. Mike Ashley exploiting workers is somehow immigrants' fault, apparently

he's v into the arms trade as a way of revitalising his lancashire constituency

Theory: May called general election early and at short notice so that labour would not have time to deselect slugs like this.

love this from the saudi embassy re: the henry jackson report which declares saudi arabia to be the chief promoter of islamist extremism in the uk:

"We do not and will not condone the actions or ideology of violent extremism and we will not rest until these deviants and their organisations are destroyed."

'we will end violent extremism by destroying the deviants' is amazing

If it's a Henry Jackson society report, presumably their proposed response to Saudi Arabia promoting islamist extremism is to sell them more weapons

Looks rather charmingly like a still from a long lost Wednesday Play. I could easily see Jez as the angry young man in a gritty new work about the class struggle.

Just another play for today
