bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

bbc were suggesting jess phillips and lisa nandy

The only way either could win is if about another half a million people joined Labour to vote for them.

i think some people just can't vote for a party unless they fancy the leader

my mum likes jess philips and i generally agree with her on most things, but think she has this one seriously wrong

In my memory Starmer hasn't undermined the leadership or come out with legit concerns hatespeak, but don't want someone who has knelt for the Queen as LOTO - ever.

Come on jc is more of a snack than bj xxp

I sorta expect a Johnson government to mire in Major-type sleaze and incompetence (and some fighting from powerless minority factions in the party) but for it not to matter this time because a) media and b) no institutional ability to stop him. Millions xp

hopefully the queen will be gone by next election, people will surely not get so fucking misty eyed over charles

He lied to the Queen >:|

I knew a girl who had the hots for Michael Howard

I mean I had a thing for young Gordon Brown for about five minutes, but fuck that.

I believe Gordon broke a lot of hearts in his day... Michael, not so much.

I know GBro has kids but I refuse to believe he’s ever had sex in his life. His advisors had to explain porn sites to him ffs.

Things can’t get worse.

The battle cry of the deluded.

btw, did I hear right that the Tory Party proclaimed this to be "David Cameron Appreciation Day"?

Michael Howard’s wife was stunning so he may have something going for him.

I remember reading a Julie Burchill piece (for my sins) in the late 90 's where she waxes lyrical on how much she'd love to fuck Blair and the proof in the pudding that he sure knew how to fuck was that Cherie was preggers at the time!

probably got contracters in to do it under a pfi

i'm never going to able hear the acronym PFI now, without experiencing truly horrific imagery and ensuing panic attacks!

one day into a boris majority gov and this is what you get already

#BackBurgon trending on twitter, so not gonna happen

It’s a right-wing parody account afaik.

who the heck knows what's real anyone

it would certainly have to be. At this point it is probably safe to rule out any Labour shadow cabineter who was idiotic/naively dumb/antisemitic enough to have taken a selfie with "fellow socialist" Chris Williamson.

It frightens me that I'm feeling pity and empathy with a complete tory prick like baroness Warsi

The Hopkins attack on Warsi is a sign of things to come

I've been drinking since midday and now I'm listening to Asian Dub Foundation. It's got that bad.

be the [cans in the park after Thatcher's death] you wish to see in the world

Sorry for trespassing - I know this is not ILM, but this might be just what you all need and deserve right now:

Spoke with an Irish bloke at the pub. Came to England to work in construction, loves Led Zeppelin, Chick Corea and playing the drums. Used to be a metalhead, was into Celtic Frost. Is not a UK citizen. Wholeheartedly supports Brexit and the Tories because too many Somalian refugees are taking advantage of the NHS. The EU fucked us all over by pumping our money, imposing a single currency and overriding border control. Doesn't think a Tory majority will affect him. Loathes his ex-wife who prevented him from joining a new band. Is in his 40s and dating a teenage girl. Thinks his family back in Dublin just doesn't get it.

loves...Chick Corea

Tells you all you need to know

Change - The Glow of Love
Twinkie Clark - Awake O Zion
Sharon Brown - I Specialize in Love
Sandee - Notice Me (Notice the House Remix)

cleaning the fridge
marinating a chicken

Return to Forever's first album isn't half bad tbf.

Xps Thing is, people in pubs who want brexit where it's so insanely against their interests were only activated by Cameron calling the ref in the first place

that pagarini thread which comrade a posted up thread is easily the best analysis of the doorstep defeat i’ve read so far. so i’m posting it again

I did around 120 hours of canvassing in London, Bedford and Milton Keynes. I didn’t expect this result but here’s how I can make sense of it from what I encountered on the doorstep. 1/

I’m still heartbroken and reeling from the juvenile centrist post-mortem poison of certain colleagues and peers; a friend who grew up in Wakefield came over for breakfast and discussed the silent killer for Labour in ‘red wall’ areas: the Islamophobia amongst white voters that led them to vote for Conservatives or Brexit Party candidates, even if (as in Wakefield) those PPCs were British Pakistani.

Here as well is something that speaks well of Corbyn, the open letter from his sons:

If you take out the "dating teen" bit it's perfect for The Guardian.

People who lost two elections trying discredit what was the best manifesto in decades. I'm not in the mood for voting for any melt candidates as long as I'm still a breathing and still have party membership. These moral midgets who always belonged on the other side of parliament can have their moment to gloat for the next few weeks, but there isn't enough of them to vote in some piece of shit establishment shill they fancy as the next leader.

The point about right-wing bigots adopting British Jews as an avatar for ‘the opposite of anyone we dislike’ has been clear for a while and gets clearer every day.

So now all the Jews are staying who do we nominate to leave?
