ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

lots of the Blue Labour 2019 Tory voters he's trying so hard to impress are probably barely paying attention, the harder Right Wing elements of the PLP and the UK media he's trying to impress will just stab him in the back despite his efforts anyway.

so essentially if it's got no pragmatic value and you do it anyway, it's because you're a hateful well y'know

i mean obviously i think fuelling racism and xenophobia and contributing to immiseration and death are kind of bad things to do in a broad deontological sense but i'm a naive extremist so

Asked whether Starmer would support peaceful resistance to bailiffs now that the eviction ban has ended, his spokesperson said: "If we’re going to stop mass evictions, it’s for the government to take national action to do that."

he's literally on nobody's side apart from former big New Labour donors, pigs and landlords

you don't understand it's a ploy to win the election so he can get on with the real work of supporting billionaires, pigs and landlords

he could at least sometimes offer some insincere lip service ffs! or more like 'KIP service in his case amirite?

Exactly right. Labour in Parliament is a legislative, not a protest party.

I've been assured by Sir Kier they would be ludicrously expensive concentration camps with luxuries like clean drinking water and bigger prison cells than what you'd get in Armley

Earlier this evening, I reluctantly broke the @UKLabour party whip to vote against the #CoronavirusAct.

It wasn't a decision I took lightly.

as someone who lives in a house with two different disableds with prescriptions for lactulose solution, let me tell you Keith (you fucking reconstructed tory cunt!) : having a shit isn't just "labour values" its basic survival values!

he's straining to keep it in the vain hope it will succumb to such immense pressures he can finally shit out a diamond before fizzling into the dustbin of history.

Fucking hilarious.

"Labour-run urban authorities – especially the mayoralties of London and Manchester – have been treated by central government as rivals rather than partners in tackling a public health disaster."

Sad to say I couldn’t agree more with @owenhatherley ⬇️ https://t.co/wHIOrICy5m

can't wait to see Mayor Khan retweeting Owen's takes on "affordable housing"

Mr Khan please condemn the destruction of Elephant & Castle shopping centre and the displacement of communities that you *checks notes* could've highlighted, or even helped to stop.

For ppl saying 'Sunak PM by this time next year':

Wonder if he'll still get a shout-out in the Spoons app after that

Don't think Tim Spoon will be fretting about sacked drones

The United Kingdom is now about to discover what happens when a 'sovereign' nation makes and then reneges on international agreements

🤔🤔🤔

"The infringement procedure is a common tool used by the commission against member states. Last year there were 800 open cases. Germany had 47 pending cases and France 34. Each procedure takes an average of 35 months to complete."

Fuck w/some actual sanctions or gtfo

It's fine, we'll be imposing economic sanctions on ourselves in three months time.

This is a bit amazing. Am surprised she didn’t ask seven friends from four households to join her in the train

So parliament now has to isolate due to track and trace?

— Jeremy Westhead (@JeremyWesthead) October 1, 2020

Ms Ferrier said: “Dominic Cummings’ actions have undermined the sacrifices that we have all been making in lockdown to protect each other from coronavirus. His position is untenable and he must be removed from his post now.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/rutherglen-mp-calls-dominic-cummings-22084664

jinx!

Very relieved to discover that's not fake.

“The fact that Boris Johnson and senior Tories have backed Dominic Cummings, in the face of widespread and understandable public anger, demonstrates a total failure of leadership at a time of national crisis.

“The public health advice is crystal clear. For the safety of others, anyone with coronavirus symptoms must self-isolate, in line with government guidance. They should not leave the house for any reason.

“Anyone who needs help during periods of self-isolation should make use of the support offered through local authorities, which is open to anyone who needs it.”

i am margaret ferrier mp and i call for me to resign

First Jezza violates the rule of six and now this

I thought we were keeping quiet about that one.

It was looking that way a bit

He should be heavily fined and forced to invite his brother Piers to the next dinner party of six.

again fucking stupid. why post a picture of a rule-breaking dinner party? not that corbz's reputation is that important at this juncture

If I was Corbyn's age I would not be going to a dinner party with seven other people (I wouldn't do it at my age frankly).

Every single time something like this happens it undermines everything even more. Corbyn should make a big deal of publically paying the fine.

(This is the first I've heard of it fwiw)

I was off doing stuff today so I did not see that someone who hosted Jeremy Corbyn or was at the dinner sold the photo to The motherfucking Sun, but he made a statement that the group of five he was part of got extra people added to it after his arrival, he's sorry, and he'll pay any fine levied. It's down to his host to say 'no more people' though...
