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.

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

How stupid do you need to be to sing "Hey Jews" on a bus with a journalist sitting behind you?

Seems like he didn’t

could you expand on that stet or link? i've not seen anything and am too busy watching shite football to search

Finally melts have realised they don't actually need to go searching anti-semitism among Corbyn allies, they can cut out the middleman by doing anti-semitic stuff themselves, and because they're in the labour party, it'll get blamed on Cromblyn anyway

I have been categorical in my denial about allegations relating to a coach trip some twenty months ago.

This was a coach full of journalists and MPs. If anyone genuinely believed any anti-semitic behaviour had taken place, they would’ve had a moral responsibility... (1/2)

It's a whole different level to Rory's crass and exploitative selfies, members of the public actually want to have their pic taken with him.

Corbyn really likes campaigning so much. He was doing a round in his own constituency yesterday, going by his insta story, and there were some sweet clips of him in a Finsbury Park barbershop and meeting locals.

I was sceptical we would win the election. But with message discipline like this anything is possible... https://t.co/iOhSMZQD5R

— Brendan Cox (@MrBrendanCox) November 8, 2019

Whenever I see this slimeball talking shit it makes me glad the Tories won in 2010 and denied him a job in a prospective Brown cabinet. I guess he'd be happier if Corbyn was congratulating Bolsonaro for burning a country sized area of the rainforests to ash and bringing fascism back to Brazil. What a cunt.

Man, the wrong Cox got murked. Otm, hard to be 100% sad about any labour reverse while fuckin cancer cells like that still hold membership

I can’t begin to fathom the amount of chutzpah it takes to get kicked out of your job for sexual assault and bounce immediately back into whatever the hell Cox thinks he’s doing here.

Feel like the most significant event of the campaign so far has nothing to do with Russian money or dodgy bar charts and everything to do with the PM shrugging off fact that several marginal constituencies are currently underwater.
