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

McDonnell isn’t the deputy leader, that was the late unlamented baggymp. You know, the guy who wrote two books during his tenure.

oh yeah got mixed up there, started supping at 2! remind me why we need a new labour right wrecker with dodgy politics again then? :p

I’d argue that Rayner is several cuts above Watson, as are Butler and Ałlin-Khan.

That ain't saying much, there is a guy around the corner who knocks peoples bins over when he's pissed that I rate higher than t Watson.

Ian Murray uses spray on hair or something, because he's way balder than he looked at the hustings today.

Are you absolutely sure that it isn't Watson?

No he's not doing 5k marathons with them on his head!

when they baulked at doing in Watson by deleting his position, they should held firm and finished him off then. Hindsight and all that.. but Corbyn being such an inclusive leader (admittedly not always by choice) fucked him up in many ways. I bet you anything when Labour Right take back over, as soon as they can they will be much more ruthless and there will actually be purges - rather than just some infrequent deselections and lots of bleating noises like they were actually committing some Great Terror campaign!

Senior cabinet Minister claims that paranoid and 'out of control' Dominic Cummings "is behaving like a bald Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas.... he's hearing helicopters in his head."

just because you are actually the establishment it doesn't mean the establishment aren't out to get you.

Baldness. The only significant difference between Cummings and Liotta.

Perhaps it was the not entirely self aware Javid who made the claim.

They should talk to ian murray, he's found the magical cure for baldness: just stand under a tree and let birds shit on yer head!

Mark Oaten beat him to it - though it wasn't birds

"Popbitch carried a Lib Dem quickie this week: "Which Lib Dem wannabe leader used to be a regular visitor to a brothel in Paddington where he used to pay girls to shit in their knickers for him, and would then put the dirty pants in his briefcase and take them home?"

lool was this him as well? I can vaguely remember the rent boy scandal.

Take your pick, they're weirder and more depraved than even the Tories! And to think poor old Charlie got crucified for liking a dram or ten.

... I'm such a hypocrite, I had soooooo much fun at Charlie's expense on ILX.

hah! same I think I once got fp-ed for saying his desert island discs was a load of shite and he was a crap career pol when he'd only just passed!

LJ (green party member, advocate for tactical voting etc.) lecturing the left on how to behave again is it?

What bothers me is when people seem to understand the word nuance but don't seem to understand that rambling screeds saying almost nothing are not nuanced. sorry LJ but it reads even worse the 2nd time. This "nuance" that is so lacking on here etc often just seems to be about making up excuses for garbage pols who are happy with the status quo, but doing it in a long-winded chuntering style as poss.

Chuntering towards Rotherham

Dirty nuancing

sorry if I've been too rude and repetitive today. I started too early and fucking haven't stopped and am not very filtered right now!

This weekend some anonymous Labour MP who opposes Rebecca Long-Bailey briefed, of all newspapers, The Sun on Sunday that they’ll quit if the members make RLB leader. I have to say, I’m yet to witness any attempt to win over Labour members fail on quite so many levels

dirty dirty campaign it seems so far, some things never change.

Oh bloody hell

what is the "nuanced" take on a Labour pol briefing a Murdoch rag to undermine a left wing candidate during a leadership election ?:p

Don’t write for the Sun, don’t pose with the Sun, don’t brief to the Sun.

Yes!

Starmer is running a very dirty campaign, but the smearing is being done by the network of cunts from the the two right-wing labour pressure groups in his team - that seems certain to me - but i didn't go to Cambridge so I lack nuance. :(

Emily Thornberry: ‘I hate the SNP’
RLB: ‘What we need to do is not talk about how much we all hate the SNP..’

Absolutely loving the SNP bashing at the #OLHustings. Everyone in the room breaking out in laughter 😂👌

o shit this is gonna be EPIC #remainiac4eva #fbpe #bollockstobrexit

I am told that @JolyonMaugham's twitter absence is due to his meticulous planning of an epic Brexit court case that will change literally everything. Anyone who still thinks we are leaving on Friday may want to think again...

so that battered fox was just a clever subterfuge to throw the forces of brexit off his scent. very well done.

pretty sure that's a spoof account

More photos of the #saveourlibraries #Essex Day Of Action. People who wanted to sign the petitions were horrified by @Essex_CC plans to put libraries into the hands of volunteers and other groups. ‘HOW DARE THEY - WE PAY FOR OUR LIBRARIES AND LIBRARIANS!’ they said. So true. pic.twitter.com/qctZo6cxPo

very hard to discern what is real and what is satire these days

lol at '+ samira ahmed' in much smaller font just days after she won a case about equality

lol, that is a+ satire, and then the bit about "you must be accompanied by one of the "adults (in the room)"

£32!

Samira Ahmed is chairing it - I'd feel worse for Jan Ravens, the third panel member.

xp that's 26+6 pls & ty

*distant 'come out ye black and tans'*

xp that’s 1 ffs

Oh shit we're leaving on Friday with what feels like a gigantic shrug.

All the Where's Jeremy Corbyn types have gone surprisingly quiet now, I actually feel bad for true believers like EU Supergirl being left high and dry.

it is pretty remarkable how quickly all that 'let's take to the streets' energy dried up

it's almost like the most vocal remainers didn't really give much of a shit about actual politics or something

all their political anger was used up saving 6 music!

I do know people asking "Why aren't people making more noise, Brexit is still very unpopular", but they're in a minority - which wasn't the case two months ago.

randy centrist dads

lol thank u for perfectly crystallising this demographic

true believers like EU Supergirl being left high and dry

Successfully pivoted from her previous shtick to supporting Lord Buckethead iirc, she saw the writing on the wall.

supporting her racist art

You'll have some receipts for this, of course.

i don't think gyac has bought any of her racist art so is unlikely to have receipts tbf

I'm just pondering if the bloke who apparently made a single donation of over £10k to the Jess Phillips campaign was a randy centrist dad or a bent property developer? Or what will Led By Donkeys next hustle be. Such an interesting paradigm shift we are going into. From now on Corbynistas = melts and melts = apprentice tory golf nazis!
