PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

yeah i mean i'd drive him round to Lib Dem HQ* myself but the timing of this and the students thing this week have been tactically odd, there'll surely be time after an election to sort out internal party stuff which does need sorting

*or the nearest landfill, either way

poor poor Tommykins, oh hang on a minute he's the one who intrigued against someone whilst they were having chemo. Have a good death arsehole!

And before anyone says "the media won't cover policy announcements properly anyway" the last conference - and particularly the employee shares policy - delivered a lot of positive headlines and debate. The chances of that happening now feel slim what with Watson making ludicrous gangsta rap analogies in the press.

By all signs this looks like Lansmann going solo and I wouldn't be surprised if either Corbyn or McDonnell or both made a move to distance themselves from it.

He's been listening to so much drill lately I'm surprised he didn't talk about being splashed up.

and Lansmann's got his Godfather all wrong, you're supposed to settle up *during* the christening not before

tbf i can see how Watson could push you beyond reason eventually

most of the gbp beyond sick and obsessed people like us don't even pay that much attention to party conferences really do they? I'd much rather he injected his toxic piss into the sprinkler system here rather than doing maximum damage throughout an election campaign when new labour policies will get a proper airing to the public.

smug pompous Brownite backstairs intriguer manqué who wanks on about Labour patriotism and ordinary people like his client fucking vassals with the temerity to cry foul because the party's shifting towards some kind of democratic control

look i'm with Sid Vicious re: the man on the street but there's reasonable historical evidence that a certain tranche of voters get the vapours over parties that look "divided", the media need no excuse to switch focus on to this stuff and THERE'S NO NEED, his own pig-thick Baggy fucking constituents have already reselected him

and to my lasting shame i've only just twigged the double play in his twitter handle

we play the baggies tomorrow on one of the biggest winless streaks the club has suffered since the 70's. This could be a sign from the football gods.

oh well

was the idea just to rough him up a bit?

Just give him the half hour in his office alone with his service revolver

Stephen Bush has some very interesting thoughts
https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/09/what-went-failed-move-against-tom-watson

But I just think: I look at Rebecca Long-Bailey having a pretty good day at the office when she filled in for Corbyn at PMQs. I look at John McDonnell’s recent interviews with the Times and the FT. And I see either Corbyn, or his allies, abandoning all caution to remove a neutered foe whose only relevance will be if there is a vacancy at the top. And I think about the continual rumours that Corbyn is planning his exit, which I have always in the past dismissed as the wishful thinking of Corbynsceptics with no viable way to retake the Labour party.

And I think, could it be that this time, the rumours are true?

Why would he be planning his exit, he'll be prime minister in a couple months?

It’s like you never heard of the banter heuristic

🐦[Some extraordinary passages in Cameron’s book. Imagine the cringe factor of this: he tried to deliver a presentation to Angela Merkel in German, despite the fact that he could "barely speak a word of the language". pic.twitter.com/qzd2rbpqLa🕸

Labour making a cunt of things again

I'm in Brighton but no baggymp effigies spotted yet

Someone on a media FB thread claimed her friend saw Mr and Mrs Corbyn coming out of Moorfields Eye Hospital (where he’s being treated for a problem with his right eye) looking pretty unhappy.

The Labour Students thing has happened because it’s supposed to be OMOV, there’s 20k members, and only 500 people got ballots.

The instinct with the students looks entirely correct, the timing is not so good perhaps

just found out at the annual block BBQ that one of my neighbours often plays sunday five-a-side against sir keir starmer

(one of the others -- not there today as he broke his foot on thursday -- is in corbs's kitchen cabinet, which is a pity as i was hoping to quiz him a bit abt this and that)

hah! the idea of "Starmy" bombing about in shorts, and the mysteries of corb's cavernous kitchen cabinet.

Gulp! That latest Opinium poll gives the tories a 72 seat majority according to the stats for lefties modelling, however crude the system they use to calculate this I'm going to continue getting drunk instead of preparing to die.

Andrew Fisher quitting seems big.

He’s still tweeting like he normally does. Really strange.

I’m watching the BBC press review and John Rentoul is a smirk in human form.

Fisher is someone I don't know much about, is he a big loss?

Bush is saying the Humphrys book should be a good read based on the teasers in the mail so far. Lol just go into the dark recesses of ConHome or pro Tommy Robinson/UKIP threads on football forums if you want to read shitposting about the "lefty metropolitan bbc"

If "smirk" derives from the name of some folk Germanic hobgoblin that eats children

The kinder gentler Corbyn supporters don't realise that every time they say I look like a vampire I grow a little stronger

I love my milk full of microbial disease and deadly bacteria!

anyone got the gen on fisher going? don't trust the guardian's reporting

he's a genuine corbyn true believer and the reasons they're quoting seem v odd

oh, shippers is the source of those claims. bullshit then

Nothing has been invalidated. The BBC has been given his official resignation statement. I have obtained his private reasons as shared with friends. Stop being a cultist and look at the denials from Corbyn’s office or Fisher of my reporting. There has been none

— Tim Shipman (@ShippersUnbound) September 21, 2019

andrew fisher's friend is tim shipman's source. right

the "lack of professionalism, competence and human decency” quote that has been attributed to him sounds like pure bullshit seeing as he has pledged to work for them through the next GE

... and I thought he was PRO-class war?

JC not denying the times wording on marr

LMAO at Corbyn wondering aloud at the type of memo going round Andrew Marr’s team about him.

he seemed quite relaxed about the fisher thing but that wording is pretty strong stuff

he's a total prick for timing this outburst for the conference.

the times do have previous on chopping and screwing internal labour emails to present an alternate meaning from the original intent

I genuinely believe AF is a sound xunt and have 0 faith in times' reporting

Timing is terrible even if Fisher's reasoning is unclear. In the end it's very minor stuff atm. Staffing issues, Labour students, the 'coup' against Watson.

so if those are his words, and not taken out of context, they are pretty stiff stuff

Got a link to his actual statement?
