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

The funniest gossip I read this weekend was that allegedly at Pride 2019, a very pissed up Angela Rayner was loudly telling anyone that would listen that she would soon enough be the new leader of the Labour Party.

She should have stabbed her roomie in the back and run ;)

she didn't need to, no weather forecast was required to see which way the wind was blowing!

Kieth would never be very pissed up at Pride

yeah, I did actually used to like Angela until I got a better sense of her politics.

I still think her politics are sound, but she's in an unfortunate bind of her own making

The 'bind' must itself be 'her politics'.

She's been elected as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She can choose what she says. She chooses to say things that are mendacious and poisonous.

That's now her politics.

correct. as England's foremost novelist Tom Watson has pointed out, the deputy is pretty much free to conduct their own line

I guess the bind is lack of backbone, ultimately. Alas

i suspect it is just simple opportunism

I can't cope with reality any more, how can the EHRC commissioner in charge of the labour investigation be a 'can't say anything cos of the woke stasi' type racist and an actual fucking Whig, in the 21st century, a fucking Whig https://t.co/tdCtLUA5rO

lol the EHRC person who led the Labour inquiry not only liked a post defending Scruton's anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, he stood as Whig candidate in 2015 .. lol wtf!

The Whig Party is sitting out the current situation in British politics. Brexit is a mess and the Tories are a shambolic government. We believe that there is a place for a socially liberal and economically literate party that stands up for progress, intelligence, and decency. But we don’t think we will make much impact right now. We chose not to stand any candidates at the 2017 General Election, and we expect not to stand any before 2022. Because next time we run, we’re running to win.

BREAK: @UKLabour will abstain in tomorrow's #coronavirus TIER vote

This means it will pass irrespective of Conservative rebels

Kier "Big Balls" Starmer at his best.

What's even the fucking point

Windmill tilting in the right direction on this bullshit. Weird how I thought the Children's Act was supposed to protect human rights

The report is here:

i wonder why this is different to the many other long term decisions children are able to give informed consent to

God there are a lot of Tories against stopping coronavirus

The constant use of Keith instead of Keir seems a bit like that underlying racism where all the difficult or foreign sounding names should be anglicised. Literally every time I see it, that's the first thing I think of. It's disappointing.

are Keirs of the factory running classes a race now? lol!

Keir is difficult to spell seemingly, but foreign?

Scotch bastids

Keith is as foreign as Keir you plank.

Let's bend a knee for Kier. Posh white men's life matter as well, even if they have stupid names!

Laim doesn't get it

If there any Labour history geeks that want to name their kids after a historical Labour leader, they should consider other options in future.

Reminds me of when Rangers fans started thinking the Scottish press were biased against them (I mean, can you believe it?) and nicknamed the Daily Record the Daily Rebel and the Sunday Mail the Sunday Liam.

🤮

STARMER: "When I abstain, I come to the House and explain - when the Prime Minister abstains he runs away to Afghanistan." #PMQs

I wish Keith would run off to Afghanistan, without bravely explaining the reasoning for his political cowardice.

🎵 abstain in the melt brain 🎵

3 in Kirklees, now 5 more councillors in Lancaster that have quit Labour over Keith's stupid voice.

Speaking of Keith, who remembers last year's Highland League fixture when Keith scored 5 times for Keith, in Keith's 11-0 win over Fort William? Keith FC are ultra-Keith, the only Keith, exuding Keithness that Keith Starmer can only envy. pic.twitter.com/FdiPJnWP2X

Wondering if he'll get an accidental Kiething in Hansard.

No opposition to this narrative.

it's so fucking lame that Dudds talks like the main problem with New Labour was the tax-credits spending that at least temporarily lifted millions people out of poverty. Fucking soft-left my arse, more like soft-tories.
