Ah it’s over now but Jesus, he’s really bad at this.

Sorry calz, I’ll get off your territory now.

no carry on, there can never be enough hatred towards this imbecile - it's nice to get a break sometimes!

ok just completely fucking useless

at least u can put actual ham in a sandwich

The focus on borders rather than anything that might actually stop transmission is beneath contempt.

It's the foreigners wut done it.

shitter than kinnock

Shitter than Ian Duncan Smith.

By the way, is that what Mitch Benn does for a living? Talk about money for old rope.

I think he spends some time getting pwned on Twitter most days too

I must have heard a hundred Mitch Benn songs on The Now Show and not a single one raised the slightest flicker of a smile, so have been enjoying him get pilloried on Twitter this week. There is an interview feature about his self-published sci-fi novels in the Guardian today for some reason.

I mix him up with Mitchell Symons, same difference really

I'm as shocked as anybody but Led By Donkey appear to have produced something of value

lets hope they do an update, as the story definitely did not end in June.

you could add to that timeline JAN 28: over 2700 deaths in the last two days and Boris goes on a unionist mission to Scotland.

i really don't get what he is trying to achieve with the visit.
then again, i guess it's not like he has anything else to do.

Squeaky bum time for the Union. I think that explains it. I expect Starmer will be up in Scotland any minute.

yeah, i kind of know that's the reason, but just i don't see how a flying visit makes the slightest bit of difference to anyones attitude

Big-hearted Boris has to show how much he loves the Union, bally nuisance and inconvenience, uppity Jocks.

his message will be that independence will mean they will have to get their vaccines from the dirty Boche scum, and they will be at the back of the queue for the Great British one.

Squeaky bum time for the Union. I think that explains it. I expect Starmer will be up in Scotland any minute.

His big message is that Indy is a shocking distraction from the business of eating out to help out, in a way which Brexit and refusing to extend Brexit was not. It’s going down like you’d expect afaict

Lab - 41%
Con - 37%
Lib Dem - 6%
Green - 4%
Reform UK - 3%
SNP - 5%

the latest YouGov poll has Kieth benefitting from erm fuck knows what .. his dogged refusal to take a clear position on anything other than flag-fucking and keeping schools open.

Green - 4%
Reform UK - 3%

we're fucked

Voting Labour makes sense.

The Greens demonstrated a complete lack of principle on Brexit.

The Lib Dems are led by a coalition non-entity.

The Tories are...the Tories.

It’s fine to acknowledge this while accepting Starmer won’t deliver on any of his pledges.

steaming hot-take from Bastadi

novara media

i cant imagine how awful it would be to have 'having takes' as my job especially if it wasn't particularly well paid

just get behind your club for goodness sake and give big sam all the backing and support he deserves

my take is novara media should stop having paul mason on all the time and stop doing that obnoxious know it all tone of voice

Your move. pic.twitter.com/1bKk73wGps

I like how it's ok for Kieth to commit more to factional purging than actually offering a genuine alternative and we are supposed to be much bigger than him and rise above it, despite him being a slippery operator who offers no comprises to what should be a coalition. If there aren't going to be any consequences to his actions then this race to the bottom is not something I'm going to vote for. And Bastadi and novara can go fuck themselves.

"when they go low, we go high" - The Hard Left

my take is novara media should stop having paul mason on all the time and stop doing that obnoxious know it all tone of voice

"stop doing that obnoxious know it all tone of voice"

lots of BAME voters have been completely alienated and disenfranchised by Kieth's constant playing to the bigot's gallery. Is Bastadi going to call them tory enablers or condescendingly tut at them because there are reasonable limits to how much you can be arsed turning out for a party led by such a toerag.

just had a bacon sandwich washed down with cheap shiraz, because I never even want to look like sexy Bastadi!

butties not bastanis

It’s being pointed out on twitter how few MPs have spoken up about this, and almost no journalists. makes u think

As people may have seen in media reports today, in May last year I was spat at in an unprovoked assault.

I would like to put on record my thanks to the police for their speedy response at the time and co-operation since.

I will be donating the compensation I receive to charity.

if that would have happened to kieth there would have been an armed response unit there in seconds and it would have made multiple front pages. Got to give it Jeremy - he's taken some nasty treatment but never got broken by the vile sewer rats out there on the streets and nor the ones in the Labour Party

this is the kind of person who was inspired and *radicalised* by Starmerism rather than almost setting their kitchen table alight whilst ritualistically burning their membership card in a state of drunken despair.

I hope this is a hodges esque bit

uh hedges I mean but hodges might as well be a bit too

I was convinced no one actually liked starmer and any appearances to the contrary were just expressions of anti-left spite or anti-tory desperation, maybe I was too optimistic

idk warfield but it sounds like real england at its most genteel - wikipedia says one ward has the highest male life expectancy at birth in england and wales (90.3! jfc)

no this fellow actually exists in the very real realm of recently elected Labour parish councillors in Berkshire.

"Never knowingly voted Corbyn"

Sorry to be Oblivious Foreigner on here but is there a reason why the attack on Corbyn news item has just been revealed now even though it happened in May? Is this something to do with the legal system?
