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

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.

i'm sure Starmer is considerably posher than whoever wrote that headline, that piece, and Dan fucking Hodges

he was brought up in a townhouse and they never even had a cleaner or a bagman, cos the young Starmer kept grassing them up to the DHSS!

lmao

Dan Hodges WOULD be the perfect leader for a party of liberal sanctimony, well put.

From the Obituary thread, because I posted there not realising it wasn't this thread:

Genuinely trying to figure out why Loki's published a picture of a guy I know with the title 'Frisson' and no other context.

Are you joking about knowing this guy because if not...😬

who is it?

― calzino, Sunday, January 12, 2020 7:21 PM (two hours ago)

I think the picture is supposed to be the person behind a really horrendous account who’s been banned multiple times for harassment and is a colossal transphobe. He spends all his time online ranting about Owen Jones & even tweeted “Jussie Smollett” when OJ was talking about being assaulted. I think it’s him going by the context of other Loki tweets and the “frisson” caption is a reference to his goodreads page?

Yeah, there's a reason I didn't say 'friend' - I've not seen him in years, but I met a mutual friend last week and he came up - he's one of those people where he's got more former friends than friends, but still manages to be a regular subject of conversation whenever the former meet. I heard about the bannings and the transphobia second-hand.

Ah, sorry for replying there. Yeah, I don’t really feel comfortable about saying much more because that guy & his mates aren’t very pleasant (the kind of people who attack left/female accounts on twitter is one of many reasons this is the only place I post publicly about politics).

The original version is fine!

Also, Homeland is awful

I bet they weren't referring to the good version, because it would be an insult to put it next to garbage like Homeland.

Nah benefit of the doubt being given here, I seriously doubt he has a Netflix account tbh. He does not come across as someone who watches a lot of tv.

The road where Ed Miliband (plus Ken Loach, Benedict Cumberbatch and Glenda Jackson) lives is in Holborn & St Pancras constituency - although Islington North pretty much starts at the end of that street!

Don't rate Butler tbh.
