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

lool!

that was too fucking swift for Christmas Eve

sat up beautifully tbf

the pun, not the

I've got a young autist in house, so other than the turkey I have to do as little Christmas as possible to help him maintain and self-regulate. It isn't even a pisser tbf. i fucking hate christmas!

I meant deems in there as swift as you like with that joke! Like the funeral director with the bereaved

I thought you meant Swiftian there, G!

sometimes i think shit (or even good) punnery is actually what makes humanity worth saving for a bit longer.

Absolutely, that and Alastair Campbell deciding that he’s going to stick his neck out to defend Cats.

and in the same year his hometown has gone blue, it must hard for him to contain all that repressed joy and put on a concerned frown for the cameras.

actually it won't be. i forgot that he's an unfeeling sociopath

remember when Campbell was the political editor for that short lived Today newspaper that was owned by that charming paedophile and repeat sex offender Eddy Shah? Sheeit I used to actually buy that rag sometimes, but I was young and it woz a different era!

merry wobs lads

Merry wobs to all except Tories/tactical voters ⛄⛄⛄

Merry wobs to all (even tories and tactical voters) but not to Keir Starmer, who should take up drunken quad biking or jumping without a bungee - the doss melt cunt!

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Christmas!

Nadia has an adorable black labbie. More grist for the mill on my NKVD style dossier on the bad politics of cats and how they manipulate their owners through toxocariasic brain worms!

some conspiratorial nonsense no doubt, the gammon-quake was bound to vastly increase postal votes for the tories with lots of torpid old dying hateful cunts with a chance to strangulate hope I guess?

I rest my case, calz

Hope your good boy has been given lots of treats and pets today

he's enjoying a huge cured ham bone, he's gone into some primal state and growls at me if I go near him!

JC too good for this shithouse country really

Thornberry trashing the Labour manifesto in the Torygraph is it? very credible and inspiring way to run a leadership campaign and win the membership over.

Lads how are we not discussing Jolyon Windmill’s epic bedshitting this cold St Stephen’s Day morning? He’s trending on twitter!

Norfolk Windmill!🕸

when over 10 million people vote for you but Dan Jarvis thinks you need to talk to the people

I wouldn't mind but isn't he the Sheffield regional mayor these days? Seeing as that (not including Barsnley obv) it is probably the most progressive/lefty region of Yorkshire these days (or at least I thoought it was). It looks like he is hoping to be dragged reluctantly into the competition by his legions of supporters, which isn't happening cos I think even many on the right know he's a dunce!

He’s an anvil-headed weirdo.

The discrimination & prejudice suffered by Gypsy, Roma & Traveller communities is commonplace. We cannot let this stand. We have to organise ourselves to defend all people under attack from this Government. https://t.co/gEfZX2GS7X

Essentially "listen to the people" is the new legitimate concerns, the claim that Labour must sacrifice all policy decisions to a notional white cis-het hardworking base

It's a cross-class alliance! Of..... racists!

Would genuinely love for Jarvis to throw his hat into the ring just to deflate some of the hot air around him.

The magnitude of Labour's defeat will permanently splinter the Corbyn coalition. The core component will back RLB, but she won't carry the LRC/JVL/pro-Williamson hardcore, and Lewis will eat some softer support. The job is Starmer's to lose.

Think he is relying on older memories here, we'll see. My reckoning is that rlb will carry it because of the pact with Rayner.

a labourlist poll (which previously was accurate about "Corbynmania") has it roughly 50/50 split between Starmer/RLB so far. Getting ready to burn that card!

but that could rapidly change because RLB hasn't even broke cover yet.

If Starmer was the new leader that would be the end of the line for me. Initially I had some pretty facile misgivings on him, admittedly (based on his hairstyle and title). But now I've caught up on his recent history I've realised he's a class 'a' cunt and a class enemy!

I wanna cautiously say that Starmer need not be a disaster nor offer succour to melts, but I'm not sure why and my natural instinct is closer to calz's.

There's absolutely no certainty that the next Labour leader is the leader for the next general election.

We will need to see debate perf + yes, whoever is leader may not be so next election.

That he campaigned as DPP for low end benefit fraudsters to get 10 year sentences says gulags to me.

I will ask him about that when I see him, deserves interrogation at the very least.

To be consistent because I don't think it's about personalities I can accept Starmer as leader if he competently maintains the direction of travel and the party continues to push policies of meaningful economic change. We don't know what his platform is yet. Yes the DPP stuff was a bullshit appeal in the style of New Labour. He may have learned and changed.

A financial threshold which prevented benefit fraud cases of less than £20,000 from being sent to crown court will also be abolished, the CPS said.

Mr Starmer said: “It is a myth that 'getting one over on the system' is a victimless crime: the truth is we all pay the price”.

He added: “It is vital that we take a tough stance on this type of fraud and I am determined to see a clampdown on those who flout the system.“

that's going beyond Blairite brain worms!

only six years ago

Sadiq Khan's Christmas Homeless thing on Christmas Eve annoys me for hard-to-explain reasons, partly because as far as I can tell he's not mentioned that past this 100 people getting a good meal and a haircut, there's Crisis, an organisation that's been doing this for thousands of people for 30 years, including help getting into jobs and housing. I mean, I'm in theory happy that government is doing this rather than a charity, and there's 100 people with a meal and some care, but it seems kind of superficial.

I would point out that that was a previous job, prior to entering politics. A bit how defence lawyers have to defend evil people.

A bit. Not a lot, just to hedge slightly.

do mean like melting .. perhaps?
