chuk out

You can take the Gapes out of Stalin but

rip Chukhov

Chutsky

Let’s remember the member for Ilford South in happier times

Joseph Stalin died on this day in 1953. But unfortunately his malign influence lives on among a small group of acolytes and admirers, including some working for the Leader of the Labour Party.

Remember. “Better Fewer. But Better”. Stalin. That is now the culture of Corbyn Labour. https://t.co/xrWXjnIB7j

I'm not an expert on Stalin. You better ask Seumas about that https://t.co/MZB8TEzBqE

The new kinder gentler politics. Not just a purge but also using the Orwellian Memory Hole. Stalin and Big Brother would be truly proud of these disciples of their Cult. https://t.co/6G09Q68xOW

"not an expert on Stalin" but Gapes has clearly studied the master

Chuka would have been a good shout for an awful shower as well

He’s always calling people Stalinists or Trots or accusing them of being Russian trolls, this quote tweet made me laugh (for what’s quoted as much as his reply)

A fan writes. 👋🏽Now Trot off. https://t.co/549SPPIZLb

it's grim that the Brexit Party candidate in Peterborough by-election is a scummy freehold tycoon and it doesn't really matter cos he'll win anyway. They could probably field a paedo and win it comfortably.

I'm sure Peterborough is a beautiful town full of oh god why even bother

It's shit I've been.

Just sitting down with a nice cup of coffee, sipping away as brain dead people say nice things about change UK and their achievements on twitter dot com

Odds have changed a fair bit on the bye-election. Brexit marginal favourites before but huge favourites now (1/8!)

what book's that, calz?

I've not got the foggiest i'm afraid, got it from @NoContextGapes account.

haha ok we are in hell anyway, don't know why i'm CITATION NEEDED-ing at the hellstream

lol I asked a silly question

I'm afraid telling you would be giving context, sorry.

Just don't mention icepicks in Chuka's presence.

I've seen that Gapes anecdote on here before i think, it was what brought Stalin to mind.

Well, that and him Trotskying Chuka, obv.

ruth D has embraced boris J

*shudder*

I see Ruthless D stuck the knife in Rory the other day by comparing him to Clegg.

I can't believe liberal centrist Ruth would betray us like this.

Such a principled politician, Ruth Davidson.

Ruth and Anne Marie Waters giving lesbians a bad name tbh.

noted milk enthusiast tim 'tim' farron has written a piece for today's grauniad entitled Why do US evangelicals support Trump? They’re giving Christianity a bad name

remarkably, in more than 800 words of insight-free handwringing not once does the word 'abortion' appear

great job tim, we miss u

“Farron was asked a question about whether abortion was morally wrong, at which point he started to equivocate. The former (Nick)Clegg adviser James McGrory was playing (former Ukip leader)Paul Nuttall (he had a great time and made a much more effective Paul Nuttall than the real Paul Nuttall), but at this point he broke out of character and exploded: ‘For fuck’s sake, you just say no – it’s not fucking wrong.’”

yeah it's not bad at all but lol at the idea of playing the cocteau twins and the new york dolls to nonplussed lakeland radio listeners in the middle of christmas day

know your audience tim ffs

Including North of Cornwallis's Billy Liar earns him bonus indie nerd points

's's's's

Xpost Only thing I didn’t have a clue about was the North of Cornwallis track which is bog standard c86 indie jangle.
