Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

I saw that earlier - didnt even take in the whole thing just that fucking pic of starmzy with the word LAW - and felt a deep desire to give the prick a kick in the arse (does look like someone got there before me as it was being taken at least)

in an actual class sense. as code for reactionary white british mostly-men of all classes it's quite popular

"Hard working families" is the preferred term for politicians.

disgusting

this situation can't hold and something is going to have to explode sooner or later, like last year, or like 2011, or bigger

I've been having daydreams lately about a post-pandemic pressure group that exists purely to hold the Gov't acocuntable for the scale of preventable deaths in the past 12 months, how their active and wilful negligence has fucked up this country in so many ways that we might never properly recover from.

Truth in typos

I genuinely hope they get their arses skinned in these local elections, local councils are all fucking arseholes anyway, barring the rarest of examples of "radical localism" like Preston and a few other exceptions. What is needed here is a resolute no-vote of no-confidence in how rotten Labour is and it might push them slightly to the left on birching unruly children, 10 year prison sentences for knicking Parker Pens from WH Smiths and about 1 micron closer to publicly accepting that the working classes are a multi-ethnic group of society with common self-interests beyond race.

They are going to get absolutely annihilated and blame Corbyn for it.

Some of the commentariat are already are blaming Jez for it before it has happened, because they look a bit silly now after excitedly packing so much weight onto Kieth's very narrow and arthritically weak shoulders last year. Next stage is: If Yvette Cooper had won in 2015, we would have a Labour govt and be 20 pts ahead right now.

They're going to blaming Corbyn for the next 10 years at least. I can almost see a Winter of Discontent situation arising where wankers who weren't even born at the time are invoking the 2019 election 40 years later.

Not that the Labour Party will still in any significant form exist 40 years from now.

... still exist, that is ....

i don't see that there's much choice but to keep battering them in every possible election until they get the message or give up

can't see them getting the message, obv

wasn’t starmer supposed to reveal a big raft of policies or something a few weeks ago? did that happen??

he's being trying re-launch himself today : "i'm going full throttle now says starmer" behind a Telegraph paywall

Just checking in

Great evening back out on the doors with the Orford massive, checking in with local residents about issues and concerns, and speaking to them about their priorities ahead of the upcoming council elections!🌹 pic.twitter.com/CiN5zCDDD9

"Dealing with traveller incursions" on the flyer

and Nichols seems among the best newcomers :(

it's mask off time in the UK

Whittome and Sultana of the new intake are the only MP's I've seen with any backbone.

No no it's all fine, just a misunderstanding stoked by the term 'incursions'

As one of the responses to that tweet has said, she's in it for a career.

lol, another social media catastrophe day for Kieth, he was only trying to boost his law & order rep by highlighting his DPP background but unfortunately it has only resulted in Jimmy Savile trending

In awe of a professional politician pretending not to know what ‘incursions’ means / implies.

As others have pointed out, if she genuinely thought that she was campaigning for permanent pitches / services for the GRT community, the new leaflets will presumably say ‘permanent pitches and services for the GRT community’ on them.

This is better. But this is part of the really tiresome drama with left Labour MPs

I'm still trying to get over Boris Johnson in a B&Q fleece. He really does like the fancy dress box, doesn't he?

Stealing valour. This man has never faced up the tool aisle, and it shows

I knew that Charlotte Nichols apology reminded me of something

it's a daily operation is the Kieth project - no time to stop and reflect on the last scandal from a few hours before.

Not just a homophobic church, the exact same homophobic church Theresa May got rinsed for visiting.

See, when it was the run up to the last election, Boris was very adamant that he had to defeat Corbyn.

He's not so fussed about removing Starmer.

Politics : Trending

Nope

To @Keir_Starmer's team... Fair warning... I'm currently writing an article which it's in your interest to stop me from writing, by convincing me I don't need to.

You have my number.
You've got a few days to use it.

a shot across the bow from Femi ... lol!

How long can it take to type "Kieth is a nob"?

he knows what Kieth didn't do last summer..

On an unrelated note Cold War Steve is fucking shit for people who find Banky a bit too subtle

Totally forgotten what this cunt sounds like but lol.

honestly believe it to be a grand conspiracy that even now the press have decided it's ok to criticise Starmer, not one has mentioned that his voice sounds exactly like: https://t.co/K6iVsJY48d

Would walk a hundred miles through a storm till our feet bleed to canvas for this woman. She hasn't once looked the other way. She never had to be shamed into speaking up for us she does it because it's the right thing to do. https://t.co/DFyJMwyuQ1

Police threw Legal Observer bustcards on the floor and then tried to threaten them with littering tickets... disgusting https://t.co/x5LSNGIdTe

🤷‍♂️ What kind of tone deaf PR man would advise Starmer to use a phrase like ‘taking off my mask’ right now? pic.twitter.com/LBceZa3xLr

lol could you even trust this ham-faced ham-fisted poltroon to boil an egg.

"I'm looking forward to opening the throttle" reveals autoerotic asphyxiation enthusiast

a secret member of the orange order

as well as terrible PR during a pandemic "taking off the mask" also suggests he was previously cowering behind a disguise and lacking the courage to do the bare minimum required of an opposition leader. Why put the fucking mask on in the first place, dickhead.

Masks beneath masks until suddenly the bare bloodless skull

ftp always and forever

Hearing details about how dehumanising police treatment of protesters and LOs has been. One person got told remove their hijab in a room full of male officers. Reports of invasive and unwarranted search procedures too.

Nothing to see here just @roysmithpolice, who was the boss of cops who took selfies with the bodies of murdered Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry but has since been promoted, RTing Turning Point UK, a far right group. pic.twitter.com/Ist51MrhEC

Love how “your tiny circle of friends online” turned out to be a mass movement that shut down 25 cities today

Ngl the people that were arguing against abolishing the police back in early 2020, claiming “its not popular on the doorstep”, i’d seriously be looking at my politics rn pic.twitter.com/skX1nzG2wL

Police lie all the time, especially about incidents involving them. The worst thing isn’t even that they lie, but that the media, journalists, politicians and commentators will uphold and repeat those lies without question and this is somehow normal

Yesterday we saw horrendous scenes of police violence at #KillTheBill protests across the UK. People were pepper sprayed, attacked, and violently arrested.

The police will continue to escalate their attack towards those of us opposing their bill.

We will not be cowed. pic.twitter.com/3tk4zhVK8p
