He said: “It is entirely true that I performed in the art-house heavy metal band Stuka Squadron, which involved a complex back-story in which we were vampires who were also luftwaffe pilots."

full credit for the lad for disgracing himself in a slightly more creative way than yer average faragist wingnut

i wonder if its any coincidence that the guy in the nazi vampire metal band is into fashy politics?

The group said the "appearance of genuine World War II-era symbols on accessories ... is purely accidental and the result of random early purchases."

This is a v sad lol:

NEW: I’ve obtained the full video of PM yesterday. In it he is asked point blank if any NI>GB trade will be subject to customs declarations. PM: “You will absolutely not. If anyone asks you to do that tell them to ring up the PM and I’ll direct them to put that for in the bin.” pic.twitter.com/qwxdivCCor

shame the luftwaffe guy is standing for brighton kemptown cos the tories are being tipped to take that seat off labour and could do with their vote being clipped by a little vote splitting

interesting ah dynamic here between two erstwhile and soon-to-be colleagues. i mean i *guess* it might speak of a very close and strong relationship but v strong *brittle* energy to it.

I see you’ve already gone full BBC in not crediting your competitors 😉

obv the colour coordinated message here is Swinson offers more of the same. The less said about Skills Wallets the better because I hate feeling embarrassed for political parties I despise.

fucking dismal

What the hell is a Skills Wallet? I see I am only about the five millionth person on the tweetverse to draw the connection but it's all bit, well, this...

Who remembers these? We were told they would be essential for every job we ever applied for, and that if we didn't take them seriously we would basically end up on the dole for life.

(I found mine a year or two back - it was empty. I had just got myself a will written for the first time and that seemed like a "funny" place to put it but it didn't even fit, so it remains empty. Thus I conclude it has no use at all.) (Maybe it has a lot of very good uses and my complete shambles of a life is all because I didn't take it seriously enough.)

the dossier design forgot

Skills Wallets just makes me think of Slim Pickens, a B-movie western second-stringer type.

I've got some d+d's and threatening behaviour (after repeatedly attacking police officers boots with my head) possession of class a and theft on my skills wallet. But have never killed a squirrel with a catapult nor propped up a scumbag tory party so they could kill over a hundred thousand disabled people and impoverish millions. So my skills wallet ain't so bad tbf!

I've got some d+d’s

lol! sometimes the five 0 don't appreciate you attempting a lejendary adventure!

skills wallets

Skills wallets, a dollar or two
Just tell me, how many for you

Oh @MattHancock
Thank you for “whitesplaining” this to me.
I’m so glad I have colleagues like you who can educate me even after my 30 years of experience of work in Race relations

Baroness Warsi of Dewsbury arguably the most politically homeless Tory in politics after Lineker(´＿｀。), possibly she knows the new LibDem intake include some dodgy racists as well, because she doesn't look like jumping ship.

Skills Wallets

Are they saying that... they've got the skills to pay the bills?

A senior Labour politician changed the lyrics of the Beatles song “Hey Jude” to “Hey Jews” while his MP colleague repeatedly used the word “poof” during a late-night bus journey last yearhttps://t.co/SX4wNZfQXJ

I wonder how many more hacks are sitting on stories like this, not that I'm being an apologist for what these pissed up fools apparently did. Dan Carden is gay so it was likely an ironic use of "puff" and not homophobic. But the Hey Jews bit was obv inexcusable behaviour.

Boris Johnson was accused of avoiding teenagers on Friday after hundreds of youngsters were reportedly confined to classrooms and a common room during his visit to their school.

The year 12 and 13 pupils were kept away from the Old Etonian as he and his entourage spent 40 minutes at George Spencer Academy in Stapleford.

As the Tory leader met teachers and specially selected younger pupils, the older teens – who may have been keen to discuss education cuts and tuition fees – said they were ordered not to leave rooms where they were held for the duration of the visit.

wow scared of kids, scared of junior doctors and NHS staff, scared of northerners. His campaigning skills are proving almost as limited as the Maybot's were. Soon it will just be managed/scripted events in front of small crowds of tory activists.

On the Lib Dems, from Ashcroft’s focus groups - !? “I can’t trust them. Where I lived before they had two separate flyers, an anti-war one for the Muslim streets and an anti-immigration one for the white streets” https://t.co/QHAtVtqhaV

those fat flailing arms look like a health and safety issue to me.

who is that shit for? who would be charmed or impressed by it? what the fuck does it have to do with politics?

he tucked the strap of his apron behind his poppy ffs

What's the actual story about this Gimson thing that's driving the melts wild?

Hey Poof was sung at Dan Carden, not by him.

Gimson has received public support from high-profile Labour figures and MPs including Harriet Harman, Tulip Siddiq, David Miliband and Jess Phillips.

this was all i needed to know on the matter

Nuh-uh. I really do want to hear the story here

Ideally it'll be revealed what she did allegedly say or do to result in her deselection because otherwise that sits terribly with me and I have the melts right on this one

by any means necessary imo

So what was wrong with her?

My point is, even if she was a total Tom Watson, the optics of this are reprehensible and you just cannot unless you have good cause

when you've got a revolting subhuman arsehole like John Mann fighting your corner, I really don't gaf how you've been fucked over

yeah party politics is awful and amoral and unless she's a victim of some neanderthal bigotry herself (always possible) i don't really care how the backstabbing works as long as it stabs rightwards

well face it, that wing of the party under Harman fucked over possibly 14 million people currently living in poverty, if this is the price some people are paying for that - so be it.

overturning a vote based on unspecified 'behaviour' fucking stinks and one wonders how this one potential MP would have been able to overturn the Momentum project on her own

xp this is it, there will be a lot of talk of sweet, hard-working people who have been in the party for years and have all kinds of good sentiments especially on social justice etc but if you're not actively engaging in the struggle for a transformative economic democracy, if you're seeking to undermine that in favour of something closer to the status quo, fuck you and go join some other capitalist running dogs

I agree, but overturning democracy is a look Labour need to avoid!

presumably the same rogues gallery that are bleating about Gimson's deselection would rather the NEC didn't immediately act on every unsubstantiated accusation against party members oh wait

whatever the optics and however much i agree with you in theory about due process imago it's hard to get exercised about this stuff right now because it's in the middle of a battle for the party's soul and casualties should be regretted and accepted

Yeah the Carden thing seems like a lie or a complete reinvention at best

oh god that's what the Spectator said, dunno what they'd know about souls tho

uh oh i entered the "debate"

waste Mann
