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

lock up the doilies as well tbf!

a multi-pronged approach incorporating, but bigger than, the party itself. trade unions obviously still have a big role to play but they've suffered badly from 40 years of Thatcherism and they've always had their own institutional problems. all the long term problems are infinitely bigger than "how can we find a leader that won't fall out with Laura K?" and require a leap of imagination that i'm not sure exists in the PLP at all

earlier I saw some (Cummings sounding cacophony of bullshit stylee) nonsense that CCHQ complaints have been made to the bbc about their "Corbyn bias" during the election campaign period. Can't tell if it is parody or not.

It is absolutely not parody. They are putting the BBC on notice.

I wish it was funny!

Pro Corbyn bias!?!??! Man, arseholes love using this language don't they

Which Northern constituencies were you allegedly canvassing, Julio?

Yeah mte, I know I wasn’t imagining AF’s posts that started “as an EU citizen”.

Oh yeah no, I would've been livid - I was wrong. There's a lot of it to go around.

lol sorry to bring this here - but now I'm going to be out of my overdraft. I just won £1820.00 on a 30p (10p on 5 numbers/20p on 4 of the same numbers) bet on Irish Daily Millions. I had 8 lines and it is drawn 4 times daily - so the bet cost a bit more than 30p tbh .. but fuck! After my humiliating scratchcard fail I just thought i ought to post it here - HNY folks!

22.7% - Margaret Thatcher spent just 22.7% of this decade breathing. Her lowest total since the 1910s. Decomposing.

Craig David is performing 7 days on BBC1, on BBC2 Rick Astley is performing Never Gonna Give You Up.

There's no future, and England's dreaming.

xp that's definitely a plus though

One of the first few tunes of the new year on Joolz was Vossi Bop, in fairness.

La Roux is doing a live version of In For The Kill, please cancel the country.

Finnish PM Advocates Four-Day-Week, Six-Hour-Day.
When Labour called for it, UK right-wing media attacked it. Other countries call it civilized practices; workers share the gains from technology.
What chance of civlized practices in post-Brexit UK?https://t.co/bblSPARftx

OTM

Speaking of the fireworks last night, they played seven nation army for 30 seconds and guess what

This is remarkable, man. @jeremycorbyn has completely transformed politics and the country's discourse around inequality for the better. Despite failing to overcome the odds to become PM, there's no going back now. Real change is coming. #OhJeremyCorbyn pic.twitter.com/lhTcN6nPAT

I think that fucking chant is the least thing I'll miss about Corbynism to be quite grumpily honest!

but it's a sad reminder that we could have had a truly transformative govt instead of 5 more years of neo-fascism and austerity :(

As metaphors go, "a meme, but only if you're already trying to hear it" is not what I'd go for.

Football chants outside of football = dud
The music of Jack White = deeply reactionary dud

Have I already done the bit about a new Guy Witchy cheeky cockney gangster movie being the perfect overture for this government's reign of murder?

there won't be any crude traveller stereotypes in this one, because they all had their homes expropriated and they all got locked up in sachsenhausen belmarsh.

a good reminder that all melts need to be liquidated!

none of that "let's all join hands and defeat boris" bollox - they need to be burned alive and even their ashes will be too impure to fertilise the crops!

Ugh, melts on about the ‘narcissism’ of that Corbyn video. Are they just throwing bad words around regardless of what they might actually mean (again)?

let's all join hands and push these fucking dishonest tories off a cliff somewhere! I've never hated these fuckers as much as I do rn.

during a lull in family stuff the news came on briefly this evening and i was still so radge at the sight of Johnson i nearly tripped over jumping to get the remote

listened to PM for the first time in weeks. Oh the joy of hearing Heidi Allen and Helen Lewis talking about how the low the tone of our political discourse has become etc...

that was the kind of guff that triggered me i think, we're going get a few months of sanctimonious shite about bringing people together and raising the discourse while a fucking government starting to the right of Thatcher sets about destroying what's left of the social fabric. Meltdom is a gated fucking community.

Yep, those least likely to be killed./disenfranchised by austerity/hostile environment telling folk to keep it polite please.

Raise the discourse, kill BJ

Really enjoyed how Helen Lewis leaped on the chance to claim Labour’s position on trans rights lost them the election. She’s fucking vile.

All these bullshit merchants and bigots queuing up with their hottakes on why Labour lost is so sickening.

It's because they can't bear to study bojo innit

Bojo being what we get in return for precious Corbyn slamming
