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

He just wanted a classic made up Brit surname like Windsor. "More tea Mr Watford?" "It's Mr Troy-Deeney now pal!"

back in the day Robert Maxwell adopted an innocuously English sounding name approach. Baron Kagan anglicised his name but mostly retained the og one. Perhaps it never occurred to them to consider the shitest towns of Hertfordshire for inspiration!

Had to lol at this shit.

I'm sorry but of all the Corbynite policies that the Tories have surreptitiously nicked post-election, expropriating the homes of billionaires to house refugees is the funniest. https://t.co/ogaWkWyiZF

I love how they are even shit posting about this.

On the by election front this makes some sense although I doubt the Tory vote can be that low. But in an economy burnt by inflation, rising energy costs and who knows where the housing market will be at.

Sorry but apathy is good for Kier Starmer - it’s how he wins. If next GE has a turnout of 55% and he gets 40% of that he could become prime minister. That’s about 10 million votes (15% of the country).

it's not all apathy, there is plenty of outright hatred as well I reckon. But Mandelson said it himself on PM around the time of the Hartlepool by-election, something about how they are being more selective to which voters they are appealing to now 🤢 I really hope such a repugnant and morally bankrupt strategy goes badly wrong for them.

You’re fleeing your home in Ukraine in probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to you. What does the Labour Party say?

Useless cunts.

they love wearing the flag colours and using Zelensky as an opportunity blather out platitudes and tributes, but the war refugees those colours represent .. no they can fuck off and join the queue. Well anything other than waiving visas probably amounts to that, but Labour can't seem soft on immigration to a few thousand gammons in Shitsdale.

I put Radio 4 on for a minute while making breakfast this morning and a voice said "we have Yvette Cooper" and I was back in the loving arms of Radio 3 like a flash

This is hilarious

going to ask the oli g taskforce to cancel Levi Colwill's Chelsea contract to save him from the shame of being an unwitting Putin minion.

what is the distinction between an "oligarch" and an "entrepreneur" or "wealth creator" other than them being foreigns. Because as far I can see they are all thieves and crooks who hold power + influence over equally corrupt politicians, including the billionaires born in the UK.

Amazing violation of the UK flagbrand. Sure let's make the whole thing white, no problem.

a dyed in the wool conservative attacking the PM in a way Kieth can't. i/ because he's a tory as fuck cunt himself. ii/ because he's fully committed to the same untrue pro-Putin slur against his predecessor since he's only ruthless against factional party rivals and soft as butter when attacking tories with minor adjustments to evil policies he'd like to huffily suggest to the line manager.

The thing I love about UK politics is 🚨🚨🚨🚨 exclusives of things it wasn’t convenient for the press to notice before, for some reason.

a consistent feature of politics for the last, i don’t know, forever? is people on the left pointing out the truth in real time, being ignored, and then 5-15 years later, after the big dogs have eaten, moved on, and left the bones to rot, it’s become conventional wisdom

Yes, I agree with Tracer Hand's post here.

I love the way rich dickheads near me spend a small fortune on the maintenance of private roads leading to their big houses that are on land owned by the Lord Saville Estate. And no matter how good the builders do a job of it, it gets washed and worn away by the rain and downflowing water within 12-18 months without fail. Rod Stewart can go hump in a culvert!

Can he? He's so talented...

I thought you missed out a Steve Lamaque but

Christ. Is that picture real?

Surely not, but I want to believe.

taken by photographer dafydd jones at park lane, london 4 February 2013 (chinese new year dinner given by hong kong business sir david tang, not pictured)

jones has a whole professional site (which may i guess be a QAnon fake, stranger things have happened)

the stuart maconie-looking fellow is matthew freud (which is very funny in an adam-curtis-never-misses kind of a way) and the woman is freud's then-wife elizabeth murdoch

Matthew's dad was probably even more vile than sweat-nonce - only he didn't need to pay any of his victims out - he just got away with it scot free a la Savile.
