There’s currently speculation that the hard right on the Tory backbenches and Labour could team up to defeat corporation tax increases, which I suspect won’t happen as Starmer will likely decide he’s in favour of the government policy after all in a week or two.

I feel like this corporation tax thing is my fault guys, I asked the monkeys paw for this shower of cunts to display some principled opposition for once

it's getting to the point where it should be harder for the adults to parrot that fatuous bollox that Kieth has made up some ground in the polling after the damage caused by Jerimiah, it's edging back to December '20 numbers now.

the tories are rolling out the world's most successful vaccination campaign (tm) so hundreds added to a six-figure death toll every day doesn't matter as long as we can get to the pub by the summer

labour might as well dissolve now tbh, we're living in toryland for the rest of our lives

even if Labour (led by Starmer or whatever jerkoff follows him) did win an electoral majority by some incredible mysterious accident - we'd still be in toryland

switching to a macrobiotic diet and a bit of oil of ulay splashed on the face has wonders for this ugly haggard fucker.

pretty sure the lad knocks one out to fantasies of being Churchill every night now

he should be encouraged to start drinking booze for breakfast and become a heavy cigar smoker imo

who is playing Kieth?

it will be funny if it is a huge hit and they do an amusing recurring joke caricature of Kieth that effectively finishes off his leadership

he's officially shitter than Corbyn now.

Anneliese Dodds went live with a speech about a "jobs-rich recovery" and the 261 people viewed it on YT and I think it was as low as 24 viewers while it was live. Not much point to streaming this soft Tory tedium if it is barely reaching anybody and there isn't a base there for it. I bet even the Greens or the Lib-dems could get better numbers than that.

Sian Berry got 10k views chatting to Owen Jones a day earlier.

I heard word that Boris is going to be introducing 'cheap pints' for when the pubs open.

I mean, on the one hand I get he's trying for the Sunak Popularity.

On the other hand, everything else.

xp

say what you like about the Greens, but they have better comms than Labour and have a base to speak to.

I mis-read the slogan on this poster as 'ACT LIKE YOU GIVE A SHIT'.

Labour to state 'non-negotiable' support for UK's nuclear weapons https://t.co/ElwjG4pzpV

Ronan Burtenshaw is one of the outstanding political commentators and activists not only of his generation, but of any generation in the present era.

Such cunts xp

Kieth playing to the wall of gammon gallery, who will never trust him to happily nuke "some pillock from Iran" anyway and still vote Conservative. what an amazing strategy.

more flags nukes!

they all know he'd be cautiously thinking about the Conservative party position on thermo-nuclear war before permitting himself to pressing the launch button

Big new speech coming from Labour: "Labour’s support for the UK’s American nuclear deterrent is non-negotiable."

— Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 (@MichaelRosenYes) February 26, 2021

Sounds like they’re dropping the vapid stop the war foreign policy. Very smart, this will get through to voters

I for one am reassured that Labour understands that you have to nuke something

just reaching out to those voters with global nuclear apocalypse still at the top of their bucket list

Labour believes in human rights, most importantly the right to be nuked

Watched a bit of the Salmond hearing, not a patch on that parish council thing from last week.

NEW: @TheGreenParty defends decision to appoint white person to top role on Black, Asian & minority ethnic members committee. "The work to achieve racial justice is not just for people of colour to burden alone," @GreensofColour chair told me. https://t.co/k8hQGDv9vQ

the Greens looking just as worthless on race politics as they do on class politics shocker

Green voters: children of shire Tories with a monthly donation to World Wildlife Fund.

British Gas are on strike today.

We are not on strike because we are looking for a pay rise. We are striking because we want legalised corporate bullying - fire and rehire - removed as a threat against us.

Please support our cause. #BritishGasStrike #FightFireWithFire 🔥

Just awful.

So now that the Supreme Court has established a precedent that it is legal to strip someone of their citizenship, where do we stop? The continual exhaustion of living a life that could, at any moment, be rendered illegal.

— Anindya Raychaudhuri (@DrAnindyaR) February 27, 2021

and lots of racist simps cheering on the effective dissolution of their own rights to UK citizenship just because it's being used against a non-white.

Strictly speaking, the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled on the substantive issue, even if the effect for Begum is the same in practice.

Though what it has done is establish the precedent that, if the government determines you are a ‘security risk’, you lose the right to a fair hearing in court.

lol @ "major political party". Obviously nobody in Scotland gives much of a fuck about the Punch & Judy show.

Boris might have to consider sending the tanks in if that poll is in any way accurate.

what a pity those expensive water cannons he bought got sold for scrap

From now on I'm not going to be so beastly to Labour and am going to grow into a more nuanced poster and abandon the student politics. Expecting a leader of the Labour Party not to be a duplicitous anti-union conservative who campaigns for patriotism, landlordism, more shit low wage jobs and is in the pocket of property developers is just the purest form of narcissism.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/feb/27/johnsons-poll-lead-over-labour-boosted-by-covid-vaccine-rollout

(Also, where do they find these health care professionals to elbow bump Johnson?)

In Wales it seems! I'd shun him and tell him get fucked but not everyone is like that and it doesn't necessarily mean they like Tories or Boris tbf but I know what you are saying.

The findings represent a reality check for Labour and Starmer, who managed to eliminate a huge Tory lead after taking over from Jeremy Corbyn last April.

except that isn't what happened at all

Dangerously close to admitting labour's poll woes can't be blamed on corbyn lol

Policies Rishi Sunak has borrowed from John McDonnell:

- Increasing corporation tax.
- National Infrastructure Bank.
- Treasury HQ in the North.
- Rewriting investment rules to end London bias.
