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 :(

"Labour seen as more anti-Brexit than Change UK, says poll" lool, great work lads - maybe you need a more old fashioned approach to politics.

stoked for that brexit party / chuk / libdem coalition government, it's gonna be lit fam

3rd place in a Remain voting metropolis for the "Remain Alliance" is fucking pez Chukka!

Hmm, Change UK, or CHUKKA for short?

I'm slow, soz.

there was a point where I thought the CHUK on polls was an abbreviated Chukka as well.

just one 'k' in 'chuka', fellas, which makes it even more blatant

And people were asking "Why did they call it that, when what they want is not change, but to stay?"

Well, duh! (myself)

What's up with airline food?

Oh fucking hell, this CHUK conference...

Chuka Umunna, who is not the leader of Change UK but it’s “spokesperson,” kicks things off with boast that Change UK is now third place in London” in a European elections poll today.

Ahhh sorry to multiple post, zing was hanging and it wasn’t doing anything 😩

Cow's milk is not a good source of iron. In fact, milk makes it harder for the body to absorb iron and can contribute to iron-deficiency anemia.

"Chuka kicks things off with boast that Change UK is now third place in London”

boasting about polling behind the brexit party in a remain city.

And who was in first? Guessing he didn’t bother mentioning that.

My entire timeline was taking the piss about Anna Soubry’s hideous Buffalo trainers.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY. Thought TFL had found another fatberg in the sewers.

Lol same, the repetition made it even better

more evidence that labour’s disciplinary process is not fit for purpose

kez dugdale standing down as an MSP too. such a shame to lose such a passionate and committed labour MSP

Remainiac FBPEs are *losing their shit* over the NEC stance on PV/Ref2/whateveryacallit in the EU elections manifesto but could someone enlighten me as to how Labour were supposed to pivot fully to confirmation vote stance while they’re still holding the talks with May’s cabinet?

SNP leader of glasgow city council trying to engage in sectarian shit stirring is it. lovely stuff

what's this?

NEC thing is a total non-story and it’s truly mind blowing how it has been blown up in such a confected manner. the NEC is not a policy making body - they’ve just restated the conference policy. this was always going to happen.

xxxp this phone is fucking cursed, I blame it on the number of times I’ve dropped it & even SV doesn’t want it

This is a dishonourable, cynical attempt to damage the reputation of @FMcAveety, who has oft sought to bridge sectarian divides, even though it can be hugely challenging. It raises a serious question about the fitness of the current leader of Glasgow City Council to hold office. https://t.co/V1JWfHzcQS

xxp I saw the Tories up north rebranding as Conservative and Unionist party which at least one friend of mine also thought was fairly dogwhistley?

There’s a lot of WATBs using the term ‘Magic Grandad’ in my timelines.

how are chuk real

they’re too pure and good for this world

adam tomkins has a cheek to crow about stirring sectarian sentiment as well

xp those boring cunts have been using that for ages, they’re reddit-level tedious now. What next, a Ken Livingstone-on-the-phone meme?

Oh dear... Change UK activists are so unhappy with the campaign shitshow so far that 50 of them have written to the party leadership to complain
- lack of materials
- no election agents
- no candidate info/pics
- activists forced to stay at home pic.twitter.com/NVC4MNJ0qX

a bit of a stretch to say it's stoking sectarianism. the council gave rangers the KB when they wanted a fanzone. frank mcaveety (whose religious and football supporting background i don't need to clarify) supported calls for transparency over the decision, snp group leader in the council posted a picture of him in the director's box at ibrox to suggest he was pally with the execs at rangers and that this influenced his position.

Ty to the mod who nuked all the multiples & saved us from the horror of Gapes splashed all over the thread

xp. a lot of the backlash to not giving rangers the fanzone was ironically enough very sectarian

was not aware of that context, thanks - should have known better than to take tomkins at face value. my bad

i mean maybe there's more to it?

it's definitely a bad look on two counts: shitty thing to suggest is a good angle of attack, the fact that someone then leaked it shows that things are obviously not very rosy in the snp group in GCC

yeah clearly something going on in that group with a couple of high profile resignations recently amid allegations of bullying, “lack of consensus building” and poor collegiality
