We know they're anti-fascist, but it's imperative that we find out whether they're prematurely anti-fascist!

Streeting comparing Corbyn to Trump following the latter’s racist tweets, a day after having falsely accused Angela Rayner of avoiding questions, feels like desperation at this stage. Any veneer of being a Serious MP asking Serious Questions has gone.

choo choo...

literally dangerous Marxism! well not really just a modest dose of denationalisation to increase public housing stocks in Berlin, there would be a military coup if Corbyn did this in London.

Apparently at the debate yesterday, Boris and Hunt both said that a time-limit to the backstop wouldn't do, it would have to be removed entirely.

I mean, I know that the EU have underlined a lot that a time-limit wasn't on the table, but this feels to me like a serious sign that it's definitely No Deal now.

It was Laura Pidcock.

Fuck off, Wes.

Pretty sure Trump is boneless tbfttl

Wes was the very special guest on the last ep of the Remainiacs podcast for all you suicidal hate listeners + lovers of very fine political discourse out there!

full disclosure: I didn't last to the bit where Wes shows up.

I have a big Remainiacs fan on my FB timeline and around the time of the pro-EU march he posted a Remainiacs macro for the event which was, like, the sun rising over a field with "Good Morning, Britain" or something like that written on it. Straight up taking cues from Reagan, lol.

lol! the bit I listened to was talking someone who though it was a big wheeze to join the Conservative party as a melt entryist!

Well sometimes people want an excuse

I sometimes dream of joining them tho, I enjoy beer and the company of gammons and you've gotta believe you'd soar thru the ranks

Beer & The Company of Gammons is my favourite Wodehouse novel.

"What ho! Gammons" is mine yes

Streeting retweeted the “Corbyn is controlled by rich Jews” tweet I mentioned upthread too.

I honestly am not sure there is a more valuable individual poster in a thread than calz in this one

Islamophobic claims, overt or insinuated, that Labour has been taken over by or serves the interests of "the Muslims" are commonplace on social media AND throughout our press.

Wes Streeting doorstepped for Phil Woolas in a campaign so openly racist that Woolas' victory was overturned in the courts, and then defended him publicly afterward. he has no place lecturing others on bigotry of any kind

Wes previously had a pop at Laura Pidcock for referencing the General Strike of the 20's, but he got it mixed with Winter of Discontent in the 70's. Which is a common line of attack from the tories against Labour, but a very weak one as the spring, summer, and autumns of discontent that followed under a thatcher went on much longer and besides a member of the labour party who parrots this nonsense is a fucking disgrace tbf - even if he gets it all wrong!

Easily the best Streeting content on twitter (beside his ancient tweets)

Any member of the Labour Party who uses the phrase Winter of Discontent should be suspended immediately and expelled shortly thereafter.

God I'm shit at posting on phones but that is the gist of what I was driving at!

#Haringey Council will not be cooperating with the Home Office
enforcement teams in sharing personal data of rough sleepers. No complicity
with #HostileEnvironment . We expect every organisation delivering services on
our behalf to share this ethos within our borders and outside.

— Haringey (@haringeycouncil) July 16, 2019

good work by Haringey here. Also vile charities that cause homeless people to get deported should lose charity status and face massive fines and public disgrace - what a corrupt bunch of self serving, toothless shitheads they've been in the face of hostile environment and austerity. Wouldn't donate a penny to any of these charities, would rather give anything I can afford straight to a homeless person. fuck every last one of them (well apart from Carers Count who helped me a lot recently!).

I'm still seething at those Tory bootlickers NAS (even tho my son goes to a NAS school) for congratulating the Conservative government on blue badge for autistic people u-turn. They publicly congratulated them after they were forced into the u-turn after the family of a autistic man successfully took legal action against the DfT, without any help from NAS I would add.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/266120

where is gary lineker and his army of blue-faced crypto-tory wankers when there is a real important petition to be signed? fucking disgrace that this was rejected.

Tbf I think even Twitter pros like Lineker now realise these petitions are waste

i think Lineker is in the pockets of Big Crisp.

nationalise them!

Nobody seems to have told Chuka ("So glad to be in a party, the LibDems, free of this poison") he's joined the remain wing of the tory party, and they've had their own share of racism/AS problems in recent years - it just didn't get much intensive reporting because they are a fucking joke. And Swinson/Davey both voted with the Con whip in 2010-15 more than some of the most odious of their party did, including Hunt. So if he thinks the LibDems didn't have a clammy hand on Hostile Environment as well he is delusional.

Tbf they're solid on pro-choice tho

when he starts a tweet with "nothing illustrates our broken politics more..." and then starts blathering on about what happened at PMQ. Nobody cares about this panto you fucking melt!

Matthew Parris just said what most Tories are dying to say. That brown and black Brits who were born here like me will never really be British or deserve to be seen as such because we aren’t white. That’s it. That’s the whole article. Saved you a read.

— Amna (@AGlasgowGirl) July 17, 2019

And everyone going on about “but Parris was such a nice guy what a shock”, yeah, racists aren’t all illiterate Tommy Robinsons clones some of them are polite, well mannered, highly educated people with column inches and the rest are currently running our country.

— Amna (@AGlasgowGirl) July 17, 2019

It's very quickly got to the stage of not only migrants being smeared and dehumanised but ancestry is being scrutinised, with "second generation immigrants" being dehumanised.

We've seen this story before, it doesnt end well.

Always hated that cunt Parris since he did one of those Try Living On Benefits for a week thing for ITV years ago, when he was still a Tory MP. He lasted about three days before running out of money and giving up and still said it hadn't changed his mind about people on benefits being paid too much.

Thinking about it, I'm a "second generation immigrant", although my dad was a white New Zealander so it's probably...okay? Only Mr Parris could tell me for sure though.

matthew parris can host my latino balls in his mouth

I see.

Matthew Parris was born in South Africa btw. Also...

His parents ended up working and living in Catalonia, Spain, where Parris later bought a house.

I've heard him attacking terrible things like child benefit and discounted tube travel for pensioners before he is a true enemy of the people.

But he doesn't need to look at the world from other people's perspectives cos he's a self absorbed cunt.

It's a terrible look for Tories being self-absorbed blinded by privilege racist cunts.

On 8 July 2011, on Radio 4's Any Questions, at the height of the furore surrounding the alleged illegal and corrupt activities of News of the World journalists, Parris eulogised the newspaper and gave an enthusiastic appreciation of what he considered the virtues and positive achievements of Rupert Murdoch.

christ, I'm sad no-lifer enough to remember listening to this at the time - he's a very loyal servant.
