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

I can sort of imagine it is, like they're "furious" but ultimately see themselves as very tangentially related to it like any other observer and also they are furious pretty much into they get to the bar after and then forget.

a rap battle is where i go to take my mind off

The Guardian continues deliberately to misrepresent the purchase of my office. They were for sale by an offshore company which we had nothing to do with. That was the vendor’s choice. I bought I repatriated it. No stamp duty was payable because it was a sale of a company.

a bit of nuance from one of the grown ups - accidental tax evasion!

these people need liquidating and I say this completely seriously. I just hope I get to see the start of it in my lifetime.

"I don't see nationalisation there," Sir Keir says when asked about such a move, adding: "When it comes to common ownership I'm pragmatic about this. I do not agree with the argument that says we must be ideological."

simon hoggart had a pretty good rule about the vacuity of a statement, that if you take the opposite of something a politician says and can't imagine anyone ever saying it, the original statement is bullshit i.e. "I agree with the argument that says we must be ideological"

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has been on a visit to the Kellogg's factory and has told staff his nickname is 'Special K'.
"I've been dubbed Special K since I was born, K for Keir."

It'll be Cheerio(s) soon enough.

I can imagine Boris saying that, so...

how can he be so bad at trying to imitate a human being

*keir starmer voice*: "k for keir"

in the leafy suburbs of Surrey he was known as "The K-dog"

when no one pressed him to explain he added “k for kier”

I wrote about the Kellogg’s strike. as with so many other recent labor fights, workers’ anger is fueled by having worked 12-16 hour shifts, seven days a week, and being rewarded for it with a company proposal to make future jobs worse https://t.co/Dy1mhhUu6l

awkward

wonder if the socialist leader of the labour party brought this up during his day out

give him some credit, he's offering a whole .58p per hour more than the Tory minimum wage. If you give him some time he'll soon be pushing for a 11 hour/6 day max week (providing they work very hard and behave themselves).

i am prepared to believe that sometimes people have told Kieth he's special

Who amongst us hasn't spent a lot of time working out if we could defend our family physically?

lol I don't think I've seen tinned potatoes looking so appetising since the 80's. Although I have some vague memory of deep-frying some one night when I was pished.

If my family was under threat I would want a 58 year old anthropomorphic fry-up to defend them

What is it with these boomers who cosplay as old geezers who lived through the war, rationing, national service etc?
