Stability is change: crossing the floor from potato to potahto in uk 2024

There's going to be some fun cognitive dissonance in the debate tonight.

"I think it's unacceptable for MPs' safety to be threatened in this way, and we will have to crack down on this aggressive behavior"
"No, I think banning arms sales to Israel is the wrong decision"
"I am prepared, at any moment and without much thought, to begin the process of ending all life on earth"

you mean uk media?

it's tonight on bbc and itv, isn't it? not that'll be watching

Perfect, very entertaining

Makes me proud to be British.

ah milkshaking. a British tradition I can feel proud of

Don't think there's a party leader in this election you wouldn't be happy to see receive the same treatment

get Luke Akehurst next

lactose the intolerant

That lady who shouts "That wasn't from any of us" or whatever. Like a kid at school who's worried the teacher's going to tell her off

such poise!

Disgraceful assault on Nigel Farage today. Completely unacceptable and wrong. No one should face intimidation or assault in an election campaign. Thank you to the police for responding.

I believe the only appropriate response to this shit would be to milkshake Yvette Cooper next

LOL @ Starmer making a dog's dinner of the leader's debate.

it's almost like there can't be a fucking winner when both of the dire cunts are racing to the bottom, but apparently Sunak edged it by 1% in a YouGov flash poll

(though is his record a bit patchy when not running specifically on Brexit?)

As Neil S pointed out, his record is the opposite of patchy!

Also it's not a beer unless they serve beers in Clacton with cup lids and straws, 100% a beautiful moment though.

Banana milkshake. Perfect.

There’s a meme going around where the arc of the flying shake matches a Fibonacci curve; this is a thing of beauty.

it even reached this thread!

Worth noting how no one here even bothered with the debate.

i read a bit of reaction afterwards and apparently they were both extremely dull, who knew eh

i wouldn't watch a debate if there were well-intentioned human beings with policies intended to effect genuine change on it, so why the hell would anybody subject themselves to Rishi/Kieth unless they've got a serious masochism kink/more worm than brain?

I saw some of the aftermath with a drunk Johnny Mercer having a pretend argument with Wes Streeting and then the two stumbling off like bosom buddies.

I dunno, did 20% of schools in the old Eastern Bloc also double up as emergency food banks to deal with mass child hunger or does this only happen in superior economic and political systems such as the UK's? pic.twitter.com/BcRHpeMjMi

The Is He Real Or Is He A Parody legend that is Mike Tapp named as one of Labour's "rising stars". God help us all.

I tried watching the debate but had to turn it off after about 10 minutes; it was so unbearable that I literally couldn’t look at the screen.

I put it on accidentally and had much the same reaction.

Good for her.

The Daily Heil accidentally making her even more iconic. pic.twitter.com/dnGC21EFI1

i thought Tories loved young entrepreneurs

well she's hardly going to be a Starmer supporter, he'd have her prosecuted for common assault faster than you can say Jimmy Sav....

Solemnly, regrettably providing +33 pics out of pure public-spirited service.

Vote of no confidence in Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething today,; turns out he's a massively corrupt liar. Shocking for a Starmer acolyte.

This reddit post helpfully illuminates all the issues:

IDS should win the seat again.

It’s official @faizashaheen will run as an Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green.

We send solidarity from Newham.

Please support her campaign and let’s help her to deliver a victory for the many! ✊🏽 pic.twitter.com/5p7MwIcoX8

Good work Labour Party!

Labour outrage about Tories lying about Labour policy is some real "Windmills of Your Mind" shit

Hope Jenrick loses seat and everything else

Keir Starmer claimed tonight that GB Energy would generate energy, just days after confirming it wouldn't generate any energy because it was just an investment vehicle. This is getting ridiculous. We don't appear to have any reporters willing to call this out. What is going on?… pic.twitter.com/UbMaRDWj4K

it's outrageous that the Tory leader lied about a Labour policy, that's f-cking Kieth's job

Since announcing his campaign ten days ago, Lib Dem candidate for Sutton Coldfield John Sweeney—who earns £3,000 a month on Patreon for his on-the-ground coverage of the Ukrainian War from his gorgeous Victorian townhouse—has posted eight photos of him having Just The One® Drink. pic.twitter.com/DgNCplfJL7

Booze shaming is bad yo

To me its amazing how the guy is finding so much joy from this election.

Guess you would if you made 3k from 'work'.

if stays in the pub getting shitfaced rather than doorstep campaigning, then he is improving the lives of many people in Sutton Coldfield

On the Local Housing Allowance.

"The option is there for Labour to take a different route. Simply reverting to the pre-2010 position and linking LHA to the 50th percentile again would ease a lot of pain overnight. But this means committing to spend more on benefits – something the party seems currently completely unwilling to do.

Longer term, a package of rent control for the private sector and a rapid increase of social housing, via acquisition and new building, would break the cycle of rising rents and rising benefits. Whether Labour has the political will and the guts to do this remains to be seen."

Eighty years ago today, the sun rose on a new day of hope after the dark storm of the Second World War.

Kieth's D-Day post, his attempt at jingoistic solemnity is so fucking hamfisted and clueless. ppl are replying it happened during WW2, the daft cunt thinks that was the end of the war, lol.

Yes, it's OK, nobody else died at Arnhem, Remagen, Battle of the Bulge etc etc.

a new day of hope in Hiroshima

I want to see Sir Antony Beevor saying "omg where do they get these cunts from these days?"

wow he is even shit at being the stereotype patriot he aspires to portray himself as, wtf is he good at?

Bullying women.

broke: labour leaders dancing a jig at the cenotaph

woke: labour leaders blithely displaying total ignorance of historical events
