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

I don't really care that much tbh, just any excuse to dunk on what a timorous soft shite Kieth is when opportunities to embarrass the govt are gift-wrapped for him by Dom.

All of labour (including the good ones, Abbott, Corbyn, Sultana, etc.) voting for "covid secure borders" bill that puts all amber countries on the red list and vaccine passports? Irrelevant as the tories voted it down anyway, but curious if someone can explain the reasoning here:

Keir Starmer picks ‘Stonger Together’ slogan used by Hillary Clinton to rebrand

maybe Abbott, Corbyn, Sultana, etc were persuaded not to upset the applecart, because Kieth's 9th fucking rebrand was on the way!

nobody actually noticed his last 3 rebrands so to show he means business this time he's borrowing a vacuous slogan from that oh so successful HRC campaign

Stonger

"Britain in the world" !!!

Stamer Togamer

Public services that work

I'm thinking of getting a bus into work later for the first time in over a year but I'm worried the bus will break down or run out of petrol, so Labour have my vote!

Tell me about Stong Thing

graun typo

sorry misread that on my phone!

Stronger Together: I’m With Stupid

thank christ a political party has finally had the guts to come out and say that britain is part of the world

CuK wasn't some hilarious singular comedy event in politics, it was actually the PLP blueprint for the Corbyn successor, only now they are imploring us to look into a copy of the Oxford Atlas of the World rather than our hands. Is Britain in the world?

Next relaunch: Families Come Together

Britain In The World, But Not Of The World

Asked how it felt to be told she had to leave her post, she is philosophical. “You’ve got to take the rough with the smooth, haven’t you, in politics? Keir is ultimately the manager of the football team, he decides who goes where. I’m just glad I can make a contribution in a different way, hopefully.”

when a player who has been scapegoated for a recent 7-0 rout + demoted to the development squad and still sounds this confident, that's the sign of a real class manager!

Hatherly otm in posting there is a bad homeostasis affliction that always brings Labour back to their natural state of Ed Stonery.

Next relaunch: Families Come Together

The Aristocats!

"Keir is ultimately the manager of the football team"

He isn't.

Stong Island where I got 'em whylin,
That's the reason they're claiming that I'm violent

"Keir is ultimately the director of the railway, so he decides where trains should run to"

"Keir is ultimately the manager of the biscuit factory, so he decides whether Garibaldis are prioritised"

"Keir is ultimately the foreman of the refuse collection truck team, so he decides which bins to collect in which order"

"Too black. Too stong.
Too black. Too stong."

and so on. And so forth.

lots of PLP wankers like Kieth who dubiously identify as social-democrats absolutely despise all the democratic processes of the party, unless they've got the power to do a stitch up on the candidates and levers of power and alienate or expel any members that disagree with them. Sometimes I think Corbyn would been better off being an anti-democratic/Stalinist/horrible boss type wanker like Kieth.

More of a stongman figure?

Metropolitan elites, they should try owning a semi-detached in Hartlepool.

Poots gone!

such a normal party

classic poots

Poots: The lime in the coconut

As Edwin can tell you the world was created in 7 days, but trying to keep this collection of bampots happy is more difficult, so 21 days as leader is maybe not so bad.

Amazing win for the Lib Dems.

Tories there for the taking is it?

General election 2017: Chesham and Amersham

Conservative Cheryl Gillan 33,514 60.7 +1.6
Labour Nina Dluzewska 11,374 20.6 +7.9
Liberal Democrats Peter Jones 7,179 13.0 +4.0
Green Alan Booth 1,660
UKIP David Meacock 1,525

this time Labour finished in 4th place and lost their deposit

I saw people scoffing at piss-diamond accounts for suggesting it was going to be close, which is understandable after 2019. But it looks like they weren't kidding this time. lol when is the last time a Labour candidate lost their deposit?

Did this get much coverage compared to Batley? I didn't even realize there was a by-election in Chesham

Media only interested in proles in flat caps with ferrets who've voted Labour their entire lives voting Tory tbf.

I think the commentariat presumed because the LibDems are led by a diaphanous nothing that even LibDem voters doubt the existence of that they were now incapable of getting Tory protest votes at byelections. Or as Paul Mason would have it: The Progressive Alliance lol!

the new Tory candidate pissed off the locals because they were pro HS2 unlike the previous long serving incumbent Cheryl Gillan

but yes let's pretend a load of protest votes from Tory nimbies is a progressive alliance eh paul 🤡🤡🤡

Starmer is really incredible. He has managed a strategy that appeals to absolutely no one.

It's some kind of achievement.
