have you quit the labour party yet?

such a white area, N Islington innit? One Asian poster amusingly captioned it: that's me at an Oasis concert!

LOL, if you take a walk down Holloway Road the last time it looked that white was sometime in the 17th century.

They are just not very good at this politics thing are they?

Just as with Starmer's leadership vote, they are good at getting elected precisely once, and after that they have to deal with the consequences of their voters realising they lied about everything. One term will not be enough to loot everything they want to. They will do their best to game democracy in power just as they are doing now, but the above resistance among the core vote bodes well, imo.

lmao

Graham Stringer is a trustee of the 55 Tufton Street climate change deniers Global Warming Policy Foundation, a former Board Member of Vote Leave, and the *Labour* candidate for Blackley and Middleton South. https://t.co/RmrxpJE9Tk

Everyday it's like the line of villains signing up in Blazing Saddles

It's not great, but the reason he's the candidate for Blackley and Middleton South is that he's been the MP for Blackley & Brougton since 2010. And for Manchester Blackley since 1997.

In 2009, Stringer denied the existence of dyslexia, calling it "a cruel fiction" invented by "the education establishment" to divert blame for illiteracy from "their eclectic and incomplete methods for instruction

finally, someone with the courage to say what we’ve all been thinking

time to break the stranglehold of Big Dyslexia

One of those parliamentary mavericks the media like to cherish, except he's hardly a maverick in the current Labour Party.

curious whether anyone here has not quit the labour party yet

now is the time for all the Pollyanna "never" lurkers to shine!

Never joined! Although a local MP (not my own MP) tried to get me to.

can't quit if you never join.

I only joined to vote for Corbyn. Was horrified when I had the CLP on the phone asking me to attend stuff and even worse, a bent local councillor turning up on my door step offering to taxi me somewhere to vote for some local politics shite connected to a newbuild housing project or something .. god knows tbh. The idea of meeting ppl on the regular and getting drawn into this shit is genuinely horrifying to me.

I’m tempted to join just so that I can quit. Such a shower of shit.

entryists, take note

I don't think the Labour Party would accept me as a member so I'm joining the Tory Party so that I can defect and become a member of the Labour Party that way.

Protestors have now blockaded Luke Akehurst's car outside the community centre in North Durham.

A few supporters of Akehurst (around 4 or 5) have started threatening protestors.

Police have arrived, and Luke Akehurst is now on his way elsewhere.

Tensions extremely high here especially among protestore, local residents and some Labour Party members furious that Akehurst wouldn't answer any questions whatsoever or face scrutiny. pic.twitter.com/u6iX1wMjNJ

loving this

Durham had 3 local candidates ready to run for selection and are apparently furious that this hideous freakazoid was parachuted in. A very familiar story within Starmer Labour.

In awe of the galaxy brain that decided the classy way out of this is to offer some left-wing MPs Labour peerages to smooth the way for whatever shit legislation Starmer tries to get through - before closing down the Lords!

after he's flooded the upper chamber of the living dead with enough Labour peers to wipe out the Tory majority, he probably won't be too arsed about abolishing it.

also Mandelson has dismissed abolition and no doubt all the right-wing Labour grandees/scumbags/arseholes would agree and they are going to be still there, whereas Kieth will be lucky to be still leading the party in 18 months

Labour peer and former cabinet minister Lord Mandelson has warned that, without agreement from other parties, Labour's plans risk dragging the party into a "quagmire", soaking up "acres of time and energy" that would be better spent on other priorities.

yeah, like sanctioning disabled people because they are not work capable and using MI5 agents as border force, starting a "investment vehicle" PFI energy carbuncle that will only benefit private sector behemoths. So many priorities.

That isn’t just any supporter, it’s his wife https://t.co/Jmhf1MEUFM

this is absolutely shocking. somebody married Luke Nukem

aww man this is going to be worth having an election for all on its own

so much going on. None of the Durham clp were allowed to ask him any questions, some of his gang of goons verbally abused ppl at a children's party that had been booked at the same venue months before. His wife racially abusing Asian people. Needing a police escort to get the fuck out of there. I think this is just day 1 of his campaign!

he can delete 15 years of racist tweets but thousands of them have been screenshot or are archived. But what this is illustrative of is that the fucker can't change what he is when he goes into the public realm.

If elected, the Father and Mother of the House will be…

Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott.

if I was a bookie Corbyn/Abbott both retaining their seats double would be heavily odds on.

I don't know shit about Islington N polling or if there has been any, but if they elect that other fucker, I'd be very surprised.

Big fan of how we all basically know what the insinuations about Sue Gray mean, you know, the dedicated career civil servant who went off to run a pub in the troubles, but can't actually print it for the obvious reason. https://t.co/vy1XKbUNKU

I'm told Labour MP Apsana Begum emailed local members this morning saying: "It is an absolute honour to be standing for re-election as your Labour candidate"

There had been talk of deselection by the NEC but sources have said that feels unlikely now and Begum seems confident

is Labour feeling alright? surely not a left-wing female Muslim MP being allowed to stand

Perhaps they did not want to reopen this

I'm sure it's just a stay of execution and they'll go after her (and others) once the GE is over at some point. They don't want any more bad publicity at this point
