Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

you can't really explain Corbynism without talking about New Labour's role in bringing in austerity and assisting the tories to continue it. Such deep soul searching going on here, because she doesn't even fucking mention it once.

This is a very good piece about Watson’s departure and the wider failure of Blairites. Plenty of good observations.

it was good back when mark s linked it earlier :p

Sorry I dipped out after reading this total nonsense

It was a new creature where slavish loyalty to the leader was the only currency that mattered

an evening is a long time in politics threads

it was good back when mark s linked it earlier :p

ffs

Ayesha Hazarika? Is it her who has the parallel career as a stand up comedian? Enough said?

gyac’s phone is just playing to the gallery now, pfft

isn't Matt Tharb an American newspaper columnist

Ayesha Hazarika who is now editor of the Evening Bastard’s Londoner’s Diary, hired by George Osborne. She writes as if Tom Watson’s left the Labour Party. He hasn’t.

austin’s objections to johnson’s letterbox and watermelon smile bullshit with ‘i wouldn’t have chosen those words’ but otherwise he was making good points

get fucked

Otm I watched this fucker too

I still can't get that image out of my head of Austin losing his rag with a history academic because he says something completely correct and uncontroversial about the holocaust, and because it didn't suit his dimwitted Churchill fanfic version of history he becomes aggressive and deeply unpleasant. I can't imagine him having many friends in this world.

all the bloke said was that the Holocaust would have spread to Britain if the nazis invaded, as evidenced by British citizens getting deported to Auschwitz from the Channel Islands.

yes That's the one!

nasty little bigoted bastard, complete lack of humility, thick as a plank. There must be a suitable political party out there for him to join.

Xp watching him switch straight from asserting that Corbyn will be a DISASTER to handwaving Boris Johnson I mean

"big queues for JC tonight"

notorious bully defends rampant antisemite, smdh at these toxic white men covering for each other

Bercow’s has some very snide golf-club style antisemitism hurled at him from within his own party, glad he vouched for JC.

"Though there is a big issue and it has to be addressed, I do not myself believe that Jeremy Corbyn is antisemitic. That is my honest view."

John Bercow gives his view on antisemitism. This is a must watch. pic.twitter.com/kG3FLwjrPt

I hate to sound like I'm 90 years old but a lot of these twitter posts I've got no idea what I'm supposed to be responding to.

^shit posting

If you Google "hentai" it'll explain

It's partly 'cos I just read the part of the tweets that are embedded itt and rarely bother to actually open them.

just do what I do and only read your own posts

really enjoy the description of them as “former Gordon Brown advisers”, same as how Lindsay Lohan is always “the Mean Girls star”.

they are like the 6th + 15th drummer and bass player from later iterations of the band touring as Dr Hook and the Medicine Show after Dr Hook died or something.

even the sex offender looks like he's dying of embarrassment.

I wouldn't mind a version of that that somehow incorporates the current Con/Lab gap in each seat. Tricky to visualise though.

Walsall North might get LDs and BXP both into double figures, both taking from Con and Lab in roughly equal measure. And it's down there with the Stoke seats as one of the lowest turnout seats.
