In case you’re wondering what the deputy leader was listening to as he faved all those tweets:

Forever can't not read his nickname other than 'Bag Gymp', since his last.fm outing.

Now you’ve ruined that perfectly innocent handle for me too 😩

Expecting public figures to have a good music taste is like expecting a decent pizza takeaway in SE London to stay open for longer than two months

he also has a metafilter account under the same name lol

https://ask.metafilter.com/103499/How-Do-I-Get-Started-In-Seeking-Political-Office#1512322 lol

I feel like we cannot rule out the fact that he posts/reads here?!?!

Lol!

12. Your word is everything. It takes a lifetime to build a reputation but you can lose it in a day.

Yeah, about that...

xp Bag Gymp was Brodie

just in case he does - yes, you do have a democratic mandate but that mandate was given to you by the members when they thought you respected the democratic processes for policy formation within the labour party. if you insist on setting up a BGRG* then I'd like to vote on the deputy leadership again please. put it to a vote u coward

*bag gymp research group

Fuck’s sake, there is such a thing as being too online and this is it.

LOL, we have one of his ex-flatmates...

Big Len?! It’s comrade alphabet, right?!

gyac self-outed as watson a couple of weeks ago iirc

BGRG* then I'd like to vote on the deputy leadership again please. put it to a vote u coward

*bag gymp research group

Bag Gymp Research Group is in for a nasty surprise when they find out about the original BGRG, Bizarro Garrara Research Group.

(and otm abt the vote)

*Gazzara, grrzz

rest assured they’ll be hearing from my lawyers forthwith

xxxp he wishes. It’s MR Seumas Milne to you, fucko

Excl: Theresa May becomes first Tory leader in 185 years to face a grassroots vote to oust her. PM was told today that an association chairmen's petition has succeeded and Emergency General Meeting will be triggered in June (1/3) https://t.co/ZusUaM9odG

Another unwanted record for May: the 1st time in Conservative Party’s 185 year history (since its foundation in 1834) that members have forced an EGM to discuss the leadership. Date will be set after local elections, with 28 days notice. Expected early-mid June (2/3)

— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) April 29, 2019

May has been invited to address the EGM of 800 senior activists, which is likely to become a humiliating public trial, coming just after the twin local and euro elections drubbings. Vote will be non-binding, but losing it will be very hard for PM to survive (3)

— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) April 29, 2019

humiliating trial, v nice

losing it will be very hard for PM to survive

popcorn ready and waiting but i'll believe this^^^ when i see it tbh

otm but I’m definitely picturing this as a bunch of those CH commenters yelling at May

BGRG

cant stop reading this as ventriloquist BYOB

humiliating trial, v nice

Charles II or Louis Capet?

if you try to remove the head and fail youve to wait another year iirc

ooh I'd like to see ol' Terry May slip out of *this* one

terry in june

porn versions of etc.

fwiw the first time I saw the word melt used in a political context was "that melt Corbyn" by one of those centrist ex-Melody Maker journalists that one of our esteemed ILX colleagues is friends with

He began by saying: "We're now in what we call the summer traveller season, it's like a disease."

Sir Paul said his part of Surrey was "attractive to travellers from afar, and many of those come with a distinct Irish accent".

Tory MP Sir Paul Beresford bringing some nazi style hate-speak to Mole Valley, utter cunt.

tbh first I thought, what's McCartney on about?

he can fuck off as well!

how do these dregs get knighted

not to venerate the ridiculous honours system or legitimate its existence but

uh, legitimise even

the only people who have got any honour snub them.. well apart from Paul Weller who is obviously a complete knave!

Loved the Robert Smith clip doing the rounds where he basically said ‘how dare they presume to offer me an honour, I’m better than a title obvs’.

yes, that was great

the only people who have got any honour snub them.. well apart from Paul Weller who is obviously a complete knave!

Absolutely, fuck a Van the Man forever.

he cleans windows and royal ballbags.

Something particularly noxious about Van Morrison spending years veiling his Ulster Scots Proddy background in a lot of mystical Celtic eyewash then obediently accepting the first bauble the Hanoverians toss at him.

I wonder if they took Kevin Spacey's honorary knighthood back off him when his many sinister quests were revealed.

xp an excellent post

And massively otm.

You could have stopped after the first six words tbf

(Although Days Like This will always make me cry)

Multiple xps to Tom obv

Take it to I Love Hating Music guys

critical support for the scientology period only

When Weller turned them down, he did it with such an unequivocal critique of the Saxe Coburgs that he could never be regarded as a serious establishment figure again :(
