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

She was a CW apologist though (albeit in a couple of twitter posts iirc) which is either appalling naivety or just plain old anti-Semiticism if you are going to call it what it looks like.

Blair on Newsnight, loathsome lying cunt. LOL he wishes the left in the Labour Party could be more like it used to be: Nye Bevan, Michael Foot, ...er... John Prescott.

I lost count of how many people told me on the doorstep they would not vote Labour because of Corbyn

A lot of them went on to say, ‘but if Keir Starmer was your leader, I would vote for you.’ He was almost the only Labour person mentioned positively by name

lmao

That's...something else.

more apocryphal tales from the doorsteps.

I lost count of how many people on the doorstep asked me who the fuck I was and why was i campaigning for the Tories?

when that risible melt is slating RLB then I'm pretty much assured she's the candidate for me.

41% “have never heard of”.

It was while I was was at mass during a skiing holiday with my family when I made the decision that Andrew Adonis is an absolute prick

despite all these treacherous self-defeating cunts voting for him, it did get to the point where boris was scared of showing up in the north for protesters/booing hate mobs, yet there wasn't much reportage of people on the doorsteps saying they don't fucking like him!

Irrelevant

This is how Barry Gardiner looks to YouGov

Lots of fail dads talking big on the doorstep is it xp

Rebecca Long-Bailey is described by fans as: Confident, Admirable, Assured, Empathetic and Lovely.

Angela Rayner is described by fans as: Admirable, Confident, Assured, Fabulous and Cute.

Blair coming up with his bullshit is fantastic news for RLB/Rayner. The same processes with Corbyn -- where the membership are energised into defending and voting for them -- is happening again.

Reckon this could be a non-contest.

xp
were these "leadership candidate qualities" polls done on the doorsteps of S Korea?!

omg

Let’s not burn ourselves out yet, there’s still months of this bullshit left.

Angela Rayner is described by fans as: Admirable, Confident, Assured, Fabulous and Cute.

as if Rachel Reeves has earned the accolade "60th most famous Labour Politician"!

I saw Angela eagle (popular with Keir starmer fans) at a kd lang concert wearing an incredibly tight suit

Looking fabulous and cute or empathetic and lovely?

Other things liked by Angela Rayner fans:

We haven't yet collected data from enough fans of this Public Figure in order to publish additional data. Check back soon. New data is added to YouGov Ratings every week.

Disappointed Barry Gardiner is not considered empathetic and lovely tbh.

-South Staffordshire Water

omg Bazza is Angela Smith in disguise

people not much older than my parents were gunned down in the streets for daring to join a mass demonstration for their civil rights, and this government sees even the most minimal accountability for that as vexatious, toxic, an affront to patriotism https://t.co/VpsTVaENQ4

Very patriotic.

Now look really carefully and see if you can spot the difference:

"Sarah-Jane Young and the families here today were told that they would never get justice, that they should put the past behind them and move on.

"They, and thousands whose lives were devastated by the IRA, are the forgotten victims.

"Yesterday, many responsible for the most awful acts of terrorism on British soil were living out their days in peaceful retirement, believing they would never been held to account for their crimes, but justice has prevailed."

Mr Jury said the families wanted to tell other IRA victims that "no matter how many years have passed, justice can and will and must be done".

Fuck’s sake, state of this

Guy Verhofstadt has returned to the idea of Associate Citizenship. Please add your name to our letter to Boris Johnson asking him to bring the country together by offering an olive branch to those who value their EU citizenship. https://t.co/LNQuUGvGzs pic.twitter.com/TF0bS16rWG

Guy Verhofstadt, I would call him Belgian Geldof, except Geldof is Belgian.

If there's any way I can hang on to my rights as an EU citizen I'll take it

It underlines the fact that for most FBPE types, it’s about airport queues for them. No surprise that they haven’t won the argument.

also more men called Jacob than there are women in this picture (ie 1)

Well it's not about airport queues for me. It's about the right to live and work in 27 other countries. The removal of that right just narrows the possibilities, particularly of younger people. And is certainly going to fuck up my life.

Great, I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about a very specific subset of people.

twitter melts are having a great day today guffawing about a clip of corbyn slamming his car door after being doorsteped by a very disrespectful reporter.

I'm sure if these exciting opportunities to pursue careers throughout the EU were available for all then People's Vote would piss a 2nd ref. As they aren't available to vast swathes of the country, then the disenfranchised will vote with their fists and give proxy Leave votes to right-wing tories who will fuck their lives up even more.

quite a few of them I thought were nice, reasonable people just a couple of years ago, difficult not to be disappointed, even now.

They’re not and they never have been! There’s a reason for my “they’ll get us all killed” stance. Feeling ENTIRELY justified in despising about 99% of political commentators in this country rn.

most of these people I'd never even have classed as "political commentator" before, more fool me I suppose

these melts must love neo-Nazis, because they do work harder than anyone to enable them. Be a busy day for the anti-Semiticism Tsar when a pro Nazi-group is telling its members to join the Tory party.

Like tons of them were queuing up on twitter yesterday to tell black people they were wrong about Jess Phillips’s racism, to make fun of Claudia Webbe being heckled at PLP, to salivate over the reports of Mary Creagh shouting at Corbyn in PCH. They’re bullies, racists and cunts of the highest order.

Melanie Onn moaning about the 'virtue signalling' of Parliament's youngest MP donating half her salary to local community causes. Another one for the 'why Labour lost' dossier perhaps.

Yep. A big problem with the 'we need to listen to people in Bishop Auckland' trope (much as I agree) is that lots of us listened to people in Bishop Auckland this winter & they most often said 'Corbyn should be hanged', 'he's an IRA collaborator', 'Diane Abbott is disgusting' etc https://t.co/8fNZA3nXeX

Stephen kinnock's comments this morning particularly ridiculous because (a) we can clearly see that there's an out of touch metropolitan class, but they very much aren't the people who lead / vote labour, and (b) "coffee bar"

it's the "latte sipping, croissant munching metropolitan" cliche all over again, until the end of time
"croissant-munching, latte-sipping": instances of misconceived media-class self-loathing ITT
