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.

I hope he's talking about the Morning Star. There aren't many other candidates.

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

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!

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:09 (five years ago)

Keir is difficult to spell seemingly, but foreign?

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:11 (five years ago)

Scotch bastids

ILXceptionalism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:18 (five years ago)

Keith is as foreign as Keir you plank.

ILXceptionalism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:19 (five years ago)

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

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

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:48 (five years ago)

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.

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

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 21:13 (five years ago)

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

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.

“Labour’s biggest trade union backer Unite has failed to make any donations to the party since Sir Keir Starmer was elected leader...”

calzino, Saturday, 5 December 2020 10:17 (five years ago)

Individual donations have dried up as well. No wonder they don’t want to give that racist property developer’s money back.
