"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

how it's going is actually 151,765 dead.

and counting

she wanted to flip the format and put some positivity in our lives by reminding us she's alright. I bet she's still doing that tortured version a smile under the mask.

Priti Patel is vaccinated. The nation can sleep soundly in their beds tonight. Apart from the ones who've died of Covid.

Latest Opinium poll spells post election trouble for Labour

Imagine if the pandemic response had been anything other than haphazard shite! Actually it probably would have lost them votes, this is the UK England we're talking about.

this goes much deeper than the pandemic response, he's offered next to nothing and most people have heard his voice by now.

I understand that, but I can't perceive a sit where Starmer earns votes. Xpost

there are never going to be enough creepazoid Fabians, disloyal Tory voters, undiscerning melts, culturally working-class Workington knuckle scrapers .. whatever you want to call them, who will coalesce in great numbers around Kieth rather than reluctantly vote for Tories again. I feel like I've graduated into a polling guru now, because I knew this would happen 18 months ago.

Can get 250-1 on Tony Blair as next Labour leader at William Hill, worth a punt.

Andy Burnham: Labour’s red wall seats would have been safer under me https://t.co/0gFEfjjg1K

the market fav Burnham has been making some moves again.

I'll be happily disenfranchised off the electoral register by a lack of photo ID by the time this bullshit merchant hits the scene!

"FAR-LEFT ANTI-SEMITE* COMEDIAN USES FOUL-MOUTHED INSULT ABOUT LEADER OF HER MAJESTY'S OPPOSITION WITH JEREMY CORBYN'S BLESSING, CHEERED ON BY HARD-LEFT MOMENTUM THUGS. INSULT TO OUR QUEEN

Here’s how he referred to sir Keith just before that lol pic.twitter.com/A0Ou0bE07p

played Alexei!

It was also Alexei who taught me that Kieth was a member of the shady as fuck neo-lib organisation The Trilateral Commission.

The new head of Britain’s equalities watchdog believes cis women should have the right to express “gender critical” views without being “abused”.

Akehurst's glassy-eyed sociopathy is unreal. Not remotely troubled by the loss of Palestinian lives, not a flicker of compassion in him. And 20k people voted him on to the Labour NEC https://t.co/uWQ1chhtiY

that Progress re-brand in full.

stuff that Kieth says is so painfully meaningless and empty that even the quotation marks are trying to disown it.

“People forget within 30 seconds what you’ve said to them on the doorstep. But they’ll remember your attitude, and how respectful you were” @peterkyle saying how we need to make a positive impression of Labour at #ProgBrit2021

Labour 2023 campaign slogan “I’m Wearing A Tie And Called You Ma’am”

I think the main reason for him falling out with Rayner was her fashion individualism and what the neighbours might think of it.

More respect for bigots, we're gonna need a bigger racism dial

Ensuring the next manifesto will be dead on arrival

It is exceptionally badass that so many MPs and the commentariat (not Sienna herself) absolutely approve of Starmer openly lying to the people who made him leader, then intentionally screwing them over. I think it’s very clarifying about their views, priorities and principles. pic.twitter.com/0joigzlkuv

Means tested UBI for racists

Stella C really is proposing some kind of means tested pork barrel UBI..lol unfuckingbelievable !

Those who don't learn from the manifestos of the past are doomed to repeat them

Or not.

im also leaning toward 'or not'

it looks like McD is up to here with Kieth rn

kieth’s child poverty policy appears to be based on this satirical tube poster from last year?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_lWIDDLHD/

just waiting for a hero to step up, who was born to reduce poor kids and homelessness by 12.7 %

Burnham's a total cock and using the same tactics as Kieth, as in presenting a self-serving fabricated version of recent Labour history that insults your intelligence if you have been involved with the party and closely followed events as they did occur.

him boasting that he'd have held the Red Wall seats is such cute narcissism though!

yes the john lewis men are all vying for the top spots

Starmer said he would spend the summer on the road, but that it would be not “just half-day visits but going for two or more days to a particular place”.

don't worry Kieth i'm sure she'll let you back in the house eventually

another good weekend for him since Shaggersgate. Yesterday McD was denouncing him as a conman and Alexei Sayle dismissed him as "little shitbag" to uproarious applause. Inject this into my arms!

xp

"The QC in The SUV" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as The Lincoln Lawyer

"going for two or more days to a particular place”

unfortunately like with the MayBot, prolonged exposure to the public (in particular places!) is not really the answer to Kieth's woes and just adds to them.

Andrew Marr has suggested he may soon leave the BBC as he has a “desperate urge to come out of the closet” with his political views

amazingly not from a fake joke headlines bot and from today's Torygraph.

Who knew Marr was an ecosocialist?

just remembering that time he just went short of physically attacking Shami Chakrabarti on live television, that was a glimpse of the nasty little Tory aggro-weasel he really is.

He’s probably a basic liberal or considers himself as such but a) gets annoyed if women are smarter than him and b) an Obs writer of some note once told me he did something ruthless and unprofessional to someone he considered competition in the office, only wish I could remember exactly what that was.

Coming out as a Scottish Nationalist.

I don't think he has a strong handle on what his views are but likes the idea that he has some views that might make him of interest to anybody

Whenever Marr is mentioned that clip with Chomsky where Chomsky stumps him and has him lost for words is wheeled out.

Its misleading editing. Marr isn't stumped for words at all, and continues on blithely, unaware of what Chomsky just said. There's nothing there

I think Suzy's right about Marr.

He actually did use to write quite intelligent books - 25+ years ago; I suspect that his thought has coarsened over time.

That's not quite true but yes cutting it at the moment of hesitation does amplify it
Xp

that's fine, we're in the post-truth era and ppl's headcanon of the encounter is now the correct version

I see latest hard left MP being taken to task on Twitter for supporting an end to the bombing of Palestine is...Wes Streeting.
