“I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie” - UK politics June 23 on

at least Gapesy was a funny and storied type of hideous Labour right creature. This psycho probably got a medal for shooting a child dead in cold blood or something.

when I say storied it relates with Gaspesy's student days when he was a staunch Stalinist.

Bud I don't disagree it's just wall to wall cunts and if I'm aligned with the Daily Mail here we're both right but for technically different reasons

Parliamentary democracy being the ILM of being political etc etc

Do these people never learn, no they never learn

Hoping to wrest the Dover seat from sitting MP Sybil Ance

still confused about whether this guy is a parody or not

The "evil terrorists" line definitely makes this look like a parody.

afaict he's really the Labour candidate for Dover and is really a Stamerite right-winger, but is also taking the piss out of himself in a self-aware way to some extent?

i've just played all the videos on his website at once, it's pretty trippy

Spooks 4 Labour

You'd hope he's taking the piss but hard to tell.

maybe walking a fine line between self-aware self-deprecation and open contempt for the electorate? 'here you, this is the kind of shit you idiots like, isn't it' etc

the "haha i'm a cunt but at least i know i'm a cunt" is the feeblest form of self-effacement

"vote for me there's a non-zero chance i've done war crimes" is pretty on brand for Labour 2024

only someone who has personally flamethrowered a bus full of kids can ensure your bins get picked up on time

Would Smash (criminal gangs)

That surely hasn't been true in decades lol.

tories will go to work and cut arts funding and then go home to their designer furniture and William Morris wallpaper and put a BBC drama on and then discuss the Renaissance masters over dinner https://t.co/bmoYPVdOpF

It's metafiction

LOL @ the idea of Rishi Sunak discussing the Renaissance masters

A person being mad about the Renaissance masters could look at Hirst and Emin and want to destroy higher education anyway.

RETVRN

(to trevor griffiths plays for 2day on TV every week)

go home to their Laura Ashley wallpaper, discussing Johnny Morris over M+S readymeals and then put on some Netflix shite is more like it

not to set off discourse but why is wallpaper anyway, just whitewash all yr walls as the gods of art intended

wouldn't even know how to put it up. I don't even bother removing old wallpaper from previous tenants - just paint over that shit!

walls are bourgeois, get in a fucking yurt or gtfo

if you haven't tried to strip umpteen strata of anaglypta cemented in place over decades have you ever really lived?

you shouldn't really fuck with artex, it's low asbestos but if you are stripping it off for days it can't be good for you. Just paint over that ugly shit and fuhgeddaboutit

oh my days of reluctantly attempting diy are looooooong gone

Getting a professional in to plaster over artex is an investment worth making, if I wanted stipples all over my ceiling I'd have coated it in Aero bars.

now I have 'back once again with the renaissance masters' stuck in my head

"Sir" Ed Davey getting a kicking.

Corbyn threatened to sue and so another nobody is humiliated online.

Since posting the tweet below, it has been brought to my attention that the Declassified UK video with Jeremy Corbyn may have been recorded some time ago, rather than having first been issued last Thursday, as I inferred in my post. I’m happy to clarify this. pic.twitter.com/IAGf898IoR

That’s a kind of double-down as well. What a schmuck.

doesn't even know the difference between imply and infer

Well blow me down.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/11/labour-may-fail-to-grab-target-seats-as-young-voters-turn-away-over-gaza-and-climate

I wonder what kind of feedback Starmer is getting about the vote in Holborn and St Pancras?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEFwsYtWsAAH3OD?format=png&name=small

me, when Labour's hope of an outright majority slips away on GE night

13/1 Tories most seats, 35/1 Conservative overall majority

I'm currently thinking 40 on the first and 10 on the second

I keep planning to do it and then the odds go up again

Decided not to vote for the mayoral elections.

Well blow me down.

One senior Labour adviser told the Guardian: “Are we losing urban progressive voters? Of course. At the moment it looks like it doesn’t matter as our poll lead is so wide"

👍

Famous last words.

If they think it’s just “young people”, there’s really ought to know that nobody I’ve spoken to who’s white and between 50 and 60 in Keir Starmer’s constituency is white landing to vote for him. Sadiq Khan, yes, but Keir can geh kaken ofen yam.

white landing = white is planning

Mystified by autocorrect

they would much rather lose or win by a slimmer margin than expdcted if otherwise they would have to court the kind of coalition they see as their primary political enemy (the falafel crowd or somesuch fake populist heavily coded epithet) - plus they already know who blame in such an eventuality and the guardian already has a bunch of scolding opeds ready to go for the aftermath regardless of the results

*who to blame

idk if they have even a medium term plan it just seems like they're trying to kill anything good for as long as possible while doing a sort of vulture capitalism thing on the party and related institutions (but in a very ideologically motivated musk on twitter kind of way)

He wants to make love to Trident
