Critical support for Dominic Cummings for fucking with the press. pic.twitter.com/DrxlBfckkg

I think the BBC are starting to realise Cummings perhaps isn't the enigmatic master of dark arts they built him into via Cumberbatch.

obv it's all part of the brand, if N Timothy pulled a stunt like that they'd be in shock - but they still don't know how to deal with it.

pj masks is shit, this guy doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about

go jetters on the other hand, now you’re talking

N Timothy started a blood feud with the libertarian elements of the Tories, you’d love to see it if the country wasn’t deporting black people illegally and doubling down on fascism with every waking moment.

Good morning!

Presumably this 'PJ Masks' stuff is a ruse to game the SEO for 'Masks' like when they made Boris talk about 'making buses'.

James Connolly didn’t die for this! Worst possible combination ffs.

Read a whole thread on how the right rigged this one.

bigoted smear campaigns against the left candidate, illegally hacking members data, rigging CLP nominations and then calling for unity on a regular basis. The Starmer campaign in a nutshell.

obv Starmer doesn't have control over every dirty trick that goes on, but when the campaign team you have chosen is led by scumbags from the private healthcare lobby/right-wing pressure groups + 1 token ex team Corbyner, then it is all on him imo.

xxp not like you to not share one?

Think the Labour Irish right also gamed Islington North for decades, church involvement and all. Corbyn’s selection was relatively controversial?

The press are part of the metropolitan elite so Cummings presumably feels he can fuck with them with electoral impunity.

gyac - can't find the twitter thread now. Post it if I do.

RIP the press, you was great

I probably like Cummings less than most here, but I have to admit that ending the spad meeting with "see half of you next week" was baller.

And I don't even usually like 'baller'!

That was Channel 4 tbf.

Ah yeah they did the May one that also had someone who looked nothing like Boris.

lol this one.

u love to see it

The unpleasable Labour right fan base is, unsurprisingly, displeased. Whoever wins, it’s going to be straight back to wrecking, pissy speeches and all-day moaning on BBC News. pic.twitter.com/LkfLzR4wJK

Like clockwork! I literally said this would happen but I at least thought they’d wait until after he was elected! Critical support for Comrade Starmer in the face of the onslaught from the worst cunts in the media.

Surely step one of any kind of electability is understanding the people who are going to be voting for you. No point pitching to country before party.

Corbyn's victory if nothing else was proof that Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall lacked the strategic abilities to do the job.

Hopefully the wavering left people will wake the fuck up and go for RLB.

I saw something earlier about Burgon hasn't signed a trans rights petition or something and guess who is running his deputy campaign etc..

there hasn't been a membership poll since January has there? Maybe some people have woke up since that one.

Yes that's what he's doing, he is at least smart enough to notice that the only route to winning is through a left wing membership. Worry about the right wing electorate/media later.

Did we see PMQs? Corbyn got personal and went in hard on BJ.

Burgon is also taking a don't-talk-about-antisemitism approach which suggests he's going to win the votes of the worst cranks and not much else.

xp

Jeremy Corbyn asks Boris Johnson on Jamaica deportations during #PMQs: "If there was a case of a young white boy with blonde hair, who later dabbled in class A drugs and conspired with a friend to beat up a journalist. Would he deport that boy?" pic.twitter.com/UB6TutPtLs

Burgon was an apologist/supporter of "lifelong socialist" Mr Williamson and shouldn't be in any prominent position in the party for that alone.

He's looking good for 101, can't speak for his parents though.

Vast tracts of land are owned by small numbers of people, who are permitted to manage it with little regard for the lives and homes of the less elevated people downstream

this is good on landed gentry bastards exacerbating the floods in Calder Valley at their leisure. It also contains the startling revelation that when Gove was environment sec his idea of releasing beavers to improve natural flood defences wasn't as stupid as it seemed at the time!

THAT SCENE JESUS CHRIST

BAME Labour what the fuck were ye thinking

he have rigged BAME Labour but no BAME people actually turn up at his campaign events.. lol not even Ayesha Hazarika!

^^
he might have rigged

he do the policies in different voices

When is the actual ballot taking place? Who actually designed this interminable leadership contest anyway?

Meanwhile:

A 101-year-old Italian man who has been in London since 1966 was asked to get his parents to confirm his identity by the Home Office after he applied to stay in the country post-Brexit.

it turns out he was lying about his age and actually is a DANGEROUS FOREIGN CRIMINAL and a 21 year old crystal meth addict, but it's alright - he's not black.

not sure about the dates. Sad lol: the last Labour email I received is from 11/12/19 and is titled One Last Push.

Something big is happening across the country. We’re going to finish the political revolution we started. pic.twitter.com/cFhlN4NRTQ
