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

Six months of this venal cunt left.

the sky 'projection' of the local results to the general election seems to be pretty much nonsense, i wouldn't get your hopes up about labor failing to get a majority

Please don't kill my hopes I already have none left

If yo think Labour will fail to get a majority there are still great odds on that if you want to back against it.

I think they'll probably get the majority but I don't think its the sure fire outcome its being presented as, and the odds to go against it were too good to pass up

Please don't kill my hopes I already have none left

Hey now, Suella Braverman is warning the Tories about the danger of losing the election to "Keir Starmer and his band of hard left radicals". You should be happy!

The "charisma of a peanut" diss is funny though. Looking forward to see where Kierndrick Stamarr takes this beef next.

(sorry)

I wonder if Natalie Elphick defecting to Labour means that she will be the Lab candidate in Dover and Deal at the election? NB the current Labour candidate for the seat is Mike Tapp, who has already been discussed on this thread

obviously Elphicke is terrible, but the leadership forcing this guy to step aside so that she can run in his place would be very funny, so I'm torn

Testing Mike Tapp

Natalie Elphicke, who has just been welcomed to the Labour Party by Sir Keir Starmer, cruelly and publicly tormented the victims of her sex offender ex-husband Charlie.

She claimed ***after his conviction*** that he had merely been punished for being "attractive and attracted"…

fucking hell, there will actually be a more evil Labour MP than Rachel Reeves standing in the next GE. Didn't think that would be possible.

Isn't she a horrible racist right winger? Good job, Labour Party!

apparently she is not standing for re-election, so will only be sitting as a Lab MP for a few months at most, still seems questionable whether it's worth it for Labour, even if you're looking at it from a totally cynical pov

thanks kieth, very cool!

In recent weeks and months Natalie Elphicke has been speaking out in support of the Rwanda plan and attacking Labour for being an "open borders, pro-immigration" party. She's a nasty little racist and anyone celebrating that she's welcome in Labour is no progressive. pic.twitter.com/66CUG9CxNZ

Yeah, but this is all before she had secret briefings with the leadership and they reassured her that in reality you can't get a rizla paper between labour and tory policy on this, so it's all good

Meanwhile...

in other news, transphobe and dinosaur disbeliever kate forbes has been elected deputy first minister

good luck scotland

people just don't want to work anymore xp

lol, Panesar talks like an ultra-naif 16 year old school kid. Try the Reform Party next, kidder. They must be good ppl if they want to reform!

Monty living up to his celeb university challenge reputation

"Every morning as I shave my head in the mirror, I have to pinch myself." - tory standing down from parliament letters with striking imagery

"I ask myself, 'Are you talking to me?'"

the tories need to start playing 5d chess and have truss 'defect to labour'

I believe Andrew Bridgen is available for defection too.

I heard Andy Burnham pleading with ppl not to make snap judgements about Elphick and listen to what she has to say first. Yeah sure, someone who voted to criminalise abortion in N Ireland and with a long public record of being a nasty piece of work shouldn't be judged until you hear her talking about her new-found concerns about the housing crisis.

Look it's obviously mad to make snap judgements based on years of voting patterns and public statements; much better to form a balanced and rational opinion based on what she's said in the 48 hours since a stunty political defection.

Andy Burnham: when you're more melty than fucking Mumsnet

I for one am glad every time Burnham reminds us that he is not in fact a dangerous radical who's too far left for the PLP

i'm sick of this shit, peanuts and crabs are both delicious and improve my life

the lettucification of british politics

crabs have more backbone than kieth

it seems a bit generous to compare a worthless piece of scum with a very characterful and tasty bottom feeding species.

evolution hasn't independently produced keir starmer five different times.

fucking hell

the only rational explanation could be that Wes is an even bigger piece of shit than Suella Braverman

obviously the tories have spotted an opportunity and will love outflanking labour from the left over the next parliament ("unpatriotic labour doesn't want to feed our kids")

The economically illiterate lies that you can't print money and that when public/health services were more adequately funded, we were living beyond our means - despite national debt rising faster than ever during 14 years of austerity. That's a really inspiring basis for a Labour manifesto in 2024. Theresa May might as well cross the aisle next, she's probably a moderate next to some of these cunts. I mean she did block Starmer from deporting a vulnerable autistic straight into a US federal prison, for probably decades.

it seems notable that Braverman frames her proposal to scrap the two child cap as carrying on the legacy as Frank Field, with these children being reassigned from the 'deserving poor' side of the ledger:

Abolishing the two-child limit would cost the Government £2.5bn in 2024/25. This money could be found by getting more out of work claimants off welfare and back into work, and perhaps introducing some form of means testing for pensioners.

means testing for pensioners is surely too bold a move for either the Tories or Labour to consider in the run up to a general election?

Desperate stuff from Sunak.

Here’s the passage of Rishi Sunak’s speech, under the heading ‘The dangers’, that starts with Russia, Iran, North Korea and China… and ends with Scottish nationalism, via Houthis, hackers, mass migration, anti-Semitism, and gender activism pic.twitter.com/Z8TuPcxI32

"vocal and aggressive fringe groups" such as the Conservative & Union Party

Nice of him to come to the SNP's aid when their poll numbers are dropping - or is this a 5D chess move to stymie Labour in Scotland by reinvigorating the independence movement?

I thought he was doing a remix of We Didn't Start the Fire tbh

"China has conducted cyber targeting of our democratically elected MPs"

they tried to hack Iain Duncan Smith's email, lol, like anyone actually gives a flying fuck!

during WW1 they set up "Bantams" battalions for conscripts who were shorter than 5ft 3in. Both of these diminutive military cosplay clowns look fucking stupid!

A right pair of regimental mascots.

Starmer: more deadly than a predator drone when pished up and behind the wheel of a military SUV

hello kieth this is your electoral advisor speaking. i am advising you today to keep absorbing the tories' biggest pieces of shit into your joke of a labour party

Just seen Mark Francois deep in conversation with Labour whips.
