EXCL by @PippaCrerar - Tory chiefs 'pull plug' on funding for Shaun Bailey’s London mayor campaignhttps://t.co/8Gcxzam3eQ

brain feels foggy, scrambled and sick tbh, what are we truly up against

even a diseased regime that considers talking up an extra 80 US nukes added to the arsenal and one new aircraft carrier and some spurious talk about military AI bollox = "scientific superpower" is realistic enough to know the limits of Shaun Bailey.

Was just treated to James Cleverley saying nuke-ular over and over again on Newsnight. The dumb prick.

Just popping in here to SHOUT"FOR FUCK'S SAKE" at the top of my Internet lungs

^sent down for 6 years, was v sad

Sorry, was that too annoying?

Keir Starmer's net favourability rating has fallen below Boris Johnson's for the first time since May 2020 - when Starmer had just taken over and the government was enjoying its COVID bounce

Starmer 👍31% 👎49% (net -18)
Johnson 👍41% 👎52% (net -11)https://t.co/BdEjlgRMdm pic.twitter.com/XJM9FKbhEL

lol Minus fucking 18 now!! "it's an outlier is that poll and the vaccine bounce" Remember when L666s Utd started on -15 and still got to the Wembley playoff final (and got beaten by Doncaster Rovers). It sucks a bit having a quivering establishment marionette like Kieth who somehow contrives to be almost as *unpopular* as Jezza was

ARIA will not be covered under FOI

I asked Dominic Cummings if he considered eugenics a science and does it need more research?

He seemed to pivot quite quickly.

(1)Labour stumble into a nuclear bait-and-switch : John Healey announces nukes are great, to win over the red faced men. Then Boris increases the Nukes : So the Sun and Mail both attack Boris for being too Nuke-happy , leaving Labour outside the conversation. pic.twitter.com/WFMnOCy5yO

— Solomon Hughes (@SolHughesWriter) March 17, 2021

as Hughes says here, you might be quite surprised to see The Mail quoting the Iranian foreign minister to highlight the hypocrisy of Boris in today's paper.

important we don't miss out on growth deals

+UPDATE+

FCO staff have been instructed to communicate to LDC countries that post Brexit-Britain will no longer be concerned with adherence to ILO rules including those pertaining to child Labour or worker safety as part of the UKs “global Britain” strategy & break with the EU.

disregarding international labour standards is very global indeed, just need to do away with domestic standards next.

Is it time for a progressive alliance in Hartlepool? https://t.co/QWLV0dgoX2

I have wiped most of december 2019 out of my memory but not this part of it. Fucking jokers.

A happy and safe St. Patricks day to all Irish people in Islington North and around the world.

Let's hope for a year of peace and happiness, and continue to work for the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.#StPatricksDay

— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) March 17, 2021

Kieth didn't even mention the GFA in his

he did a moving eulogy for the Diplock courts tho

If I could pass a law on jokes I would make a law that jokes had to be funny.

Joke rhymes with woke COINCIDENCE OR CONSPIRACY?

it's not every day you get your mind blown

I'm told Labour's Hartlepool selection process has produced a longlist of one. No confirmation from party so far.

— Sienna Rodgers (@siennamarla) March 18, 2021

two's a crowd one is a longlist

This gimp they've chosen knows fuck all about the area and was a Remain ultra. They aren't even trying.

Mandy was talking up what tough guys him and Blair were, with no reference to their mayoral candidate getting beaten by a football mascot in a monkey costume.

Let’s not forget, Jeremy Corbyn’s first by-election was Oldham West and Royton. Another “Labour Heartland” Red Wall seat in the post-industrial north.

Labour won with a 7.3% increase in their vote. That’s the bar for Starmer in Hartlepool.

You have 1 million followers. You knew, or should have known, that you were sending a bunch of tankie shitposters my way and this is your justification? Imagined hypocrisy? Wind your neck in.

— Dorian Lynskey (@Dorianlynskey) March 18, 2021

Lol, guy’s a prick and a half

i started to pull at the threads of that and jesus my life's worth more

at least he can be proud that arguably the best shitpost parody account of the last 5 years was at least partly inspired by his online presence. They can pulp all his garbage books and re-purpose the Remainacs server for bitcoin mining, but they'll never be able to take that away from him.

Imagine spending years trying to gain respect and status from the gatekeepers of literary credibility by writing a boring book when all you had to do was write Orwell_Fan after your @. I'd be furious too.

— Simon Hedges (@Orwell_Fan) March 18, 2021

Lmao, a biography of Orwell's '1984', what an absolute platinum grade wasteman

brigaded by the vile trolls again, simply for deliberately provoking them with lies and insults

— Shaun (@shaun_vids) January 27, 2020

Look there's a difference between being a tankie shitposter and thoughtfully pondering out loud about the hard left being mass murder apologists

It’s been confirmed that the oppressive and authoritarian #PoliceCrackdownBill has been delayed until ‘later in the year’ by @peterkyle MP.

It’s an incredible victory for @SistersUncut and everyone who turned up to the protests, made noise about it and contacted MPs pic.twitter.com/VMD6kCtncm

in light of his posts from 2008 endorsing the Mummys curse i no longer support WhiteDarthMaul or his dream of becoming a Waiter

the parachuted into Hartlepool by Kieth cunt that will certainly lose, Dr Paul Williams.

the comically monikered fascist UKIP cunt Dr Max Gammon.

have never yet been seen in the same room

Lords ruling over us is it

Breaking: Supreme Court dismisses appeal in Mencap. The time a worker is required to sleep on site or nearby doesn't count towards minimum wage calculations. A sigh of relief for care organisations but a sad day for some of the poorest paid workers in society. #ukemplaw

— Jason Braier (@JasonBraier) March 19, 2021

jesus I used to moan like fuck about travel-time rates where we'd get paid a measly £2.25 per hour for the time it took to get to site, which could be often 3 hours + of your day depending on traffic. But I guess something was better than nothing at all.

Sleepover pay really felt better than nothing when I was doing that work but it was self-evidently a complete pisstake. The conclusion that the care sector would come to bits if it had to pay employees a living wage is dead right.

Imagine having to be at your workplace for a continuous 60+ hours and only two thirds of that time being paid at minimum wage

Scottish politics is an opportunist shitshow. People vote on party lines about whether or not evidence holds up and demand resignations because they can't command votes from the public.

No one gives a shit about the abuse or harassment at the heart of it.

The unionist parties have somehow ended up being cheerleaders for Salmond!

talking of opportunist shitshows, Kieth has been calling for Sturgeon to resign - he speaks straight from the shoulder does this lad - apart when it's tories who are under the spotlight.

Or the police. Whatever, it's another Tory idea Starmer is 100% in favour of.

Srsly? Ffs what a wazzock

lol idk why nobody seems to give a shit that sturgeon has also backed 600m of greensill loans to gupta, this seems like a much bigger shitshow, but i guess if the bbc focussed on this today they'd have to also mention that greensill was getting cameron to lobby the gov for contracts.

Even Kieth isn't pulling at that thread, it's about whether parliamentary codes of conduct have been broken or not that's important to him, lol. But he's a bit more chill about Tories who do much worse or his Longlist of one parachuted in byelection candidate who posts stuff like: which Tory milf would you fancy shagging?. I heard him on the radio saying "that was an unacceptable thing to post, but he's still a very good candidate". Come back and say that when he's lost a seat by 12000+ that has been Labour since 1974.
