Never voting for anyone who has a Star Wars fan theory

"The group of people I was with “get” autism and ASD—they live with it every day"

so that gives you a license to talk risible drivel about a section of humanity you know fuck all about.

LOL, she's a clown.

OTM. Not trying to downplay the ableism here but the fact that we're discussing her thoughts on Kylo fucking Ren should be enough to make it clear this is not a good candidate.

reserving full judgement until i read her essay on babu frik

Sometimes discovering people who you think are pretty cool and nice, finding out that they have heads full of Star Wars rot is almost as bad as finding out they are going to vote for Sir Kier Starmer in the leadership election!

only joined Labour cos of Corbyn's slight resemblance to old man Ben Kenobis tbh

Sorry but I had a traumatic experience with the original. Too cut it short my psychopathic wife-beater brothet in law "treated" me to the whole fucking Lucas trio in one cinema sitting in Bradford , it proved to be a formative experience to say the least!

a specific issue with JP's purported listening and empathy shtick is that her insistence on speaking about everything through the lens of her own experience reveals a profound lack of empathy. She is is seemingly unwilling and unable to talk about anything outside of her own frame of reference. This is not simply narcissistic, although it is that as well, but I think people naturally see through that kind of thing. The reason the media melts think she has the common touch is because they are the same as her, a class of people who think that ultimately they are collectively the only ones that matter and that other peoples struggles and experiences are basically derived from their own in some way.

i recently worked with a woman about the same age as JP with an almost identical accent who looked just like her and I was constantly trying to figure out if she was her sister.

yeah she is possibly a psychopath, all other people are just some frame of reference for her to continue talking about herself in a very loud egotistic, showy and ultimately empty manner. But you've put it much better than that!

Plax, was the woman’s surname Trainor?

normal

Again, please share with me the name of the party political organisation I support which would exclude me from Labour Party membership?

Another Future Is Possible

(but we won't give you any details without a name and an email address and a phone number and a postcode and agreeing to be contacted)

another future is possible, it’s just very unlikely #starmermentum

we asked keir why he hired on his team people involved in lobbying for Private Healthcare compnies and whether he would continue NHS privatisation but he refused to answer. And the people who complain about factionalism attacked us for this very simple question. https://t.co/ERhY0rLIZC

Guy who takes on a team of right wing ideologues with multiple agendas other than improving the lives of UK citizens has the fucking gall to moan about factionalism.

Labour members should stay in their place and never question Keir Starmer, yes his campaign is primarily run by members of the labour right and yes Keir's campaign is run from an accountancy firm linked to the paradise papers but members should just ignore that

I knew Debbonaire had previous, what an absolute weapon.

Oh good grief

she's trying to tell a self-confessed communist that she shouldn't be allowed to join the Labour party. Another one who'd have Sir Stafford Cripps and many other history making commie luminaries of the Labour party expunged from history because Blair invented the party i guess.

These berks love the fictional UK Red Peril plotline don't they, only they can't quite decide if the Communists are going to build gulags or make the party unelectable.

And all this to avoid what would in many countries be seen as unremarkable centre left policies

I'm more worried(in a quite mono-manically and obsessed fashion rn tbf!) about that possessed ventriloquist dummy and his right wing friends than the dictatorship of the proletariat right now, because that is the real threat to the PLP and ultimately to the country.

this fucking spineless country deserves to degenerate into modern serfdom, and i say this as someone who was shat upon throughout my working life and never joined a union. I bet this will be all over the "quality" broadsheets tomorrow .. not at all.

it looks like a very temporary victory tbf, but when is the last time something like that happened in this country, obv apart from the hugely important bollox to brexit passport covers.

I’m mostly annoyed with this being compared with being a lawyer who happens to have to work on PFI contracts. Know many solicitors who get to choose cases within their firms that aren’t name partners? https://t.co/JYvFEilPBu

— Labour Towns Source (@judeinlondon2) January 11, 2020

because RLB did some work as a solicitor on PFI's that is the same as possessed dummy surrounding himself with cunts on his campaign team that want actually want to privatise the NHS.

I thought constitutional reform wasn't one of your priorities?

the replies on there, fucking hell

I'd imagine (without reading them) that the stuff about her being continuity Corbyn will be the mild content compared to the classism and misogyny.

That's largely it, plus lots of Tories going "hope she wins!!!“

the Conservative party will probably prefer being "attacked" from a more aligned centre-right position than from the left by the next election, even they don't need to worry about that for a while. But it's fair to say having a potential LOTO surround by private healthcare stans would be preferable to them with their current plans.

Lewis was talking about a constitutional assembly in his manifesto/having a conversation about it in a tweet. RLB is being asked about it by a reporter, and has given the correct answer.

It's definitely not a priority.

Bevan said “he language of priorities is the religion of Socialism … The argument is about power … because only by the possession of power can you get the priorities correct.”

Some of this is good, but the point about engaging with the community "via its main groups, not fringe organisations" is ludicrous. We are a people famous for disagreeing with each other, and proscribing the views and experiences of "bad Jews" is no way to tackle antisemitism. https://t.co/AdEUEi7EjL

Another quote I’ve been thinking about: “Who in History but Robespierre is specifically disliked for his virtue?”. Not that I share Finlay’s love of authoritarians, but thinking about it in relation to Corbyn.

The Tories, every election, must have a bogy man. If you haven't got a programme, a bogy man will do. Aneurin Bevan

Oh ffs! Rayner needs to be a bit more thoughtful with her words sometimes. Especially when two good BAME candidates are struggling to get enough noms. This party is frequently an embarrassment.

She has deleted and apologised

one of my local melt MPs posted something about how great it was that Starmer has Matt Pound on board "bringing some vital pluralism that has been missing from the party for years". I immediately unfollowed her and came back later to see if it read as bad as I thought it did earlier and she'd deleted it - so possibly I wasn't the only screaming Fuck Off at the screen!

That article has made me a lot more enthused about Starmer.

Good to see Hodges is opposed.

I bet even D Mili wearing Blair's face wouldn't cut the mustard with that cunt.
