love* in the time of plague (and by love* i mean brexit* and other dreary matters of uk politics)

fuck the labour party fuck the UK state

how many suspensions for members/MPs making dark insinuations about the "north london elite" etc?

"expel tony blair" should be the centrist position. he's lucky to still have a head

total dreamboat

My thoughts on Johnny Mc are best not explored.

I'm seriously going to miss him, what a wasted opportunity... and now look at the shadow cab.. the stark contrast is too fucking depressing.

so wait exactly whose call was it not to submit this report? the thought of the next CLP meeting is the best argt for staying in the party

meanwhile on my twitter my ex MP Paula Sherriff is pushing me to unfollowing her because she keeps liking extremely bad Mrjamesbob posts like they are a precious resource.

Reading out some of these WhatsApp messages in the next Labour meeting, as a treat

I've decided to be the man on the inside for my pals

good luck whatever you guys do. it's always easier to say fuck every last one of these cowardly melts and fuck the PLP.

Tories that have the lack of moral integrity but at least the political conviction to actually join the Conservative Party>>>>>>Kier Starmer or every last melt in the PLP who have worked so hard to keep the Tories in power - fuck these people forever.

Hahaha fucking hell

Yes, Ben, seems right to me. Always felt like the Party machine opposed my pro-public NHS & social care policies between 2010 & 2015. Not sure I had even-handed treatment from them in either the 2010 or 2015 leadership elections. https://t.co/TnURFisaah

I think even in just cold electoral terms the party is deeply fucked and Starmer doesn't have the clarity to see what he needs to do or the strength to go through with it, but I think it will be an Interesting Experience

Actually Andy Burnham....otm? Throughout that thread?

This is the thing that has always been my undoing: I’m a loyal Labour man. If I’d rebelled & spoken out more, life would probably have worked out differently.

— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) April 12, 2020

He's had a good year or two. Still feel Burnham might make another push for leader when it seems like a better job than mayor i.e. 8+ years

He seems p popular round here

Btw if I was Starmer (as regular readers of this thread will know i am recently ousted vampire John Rentoul MR Seumas Milne) id be looking at this and planning a clearout. If the wreckers went after Burnham and Corbyn, he’s on borrowed time too.

And Ed Miliband - who convinced KS to stand fit Holborn and St Pancras in the first place!

Given how egregious the comments are and how well proper disciplinaries/a purge will play with demographics who do not trust starmer and may not even vote labour again it seems a no brainer... but who knows

I regret to inform you the centrist music journalists are at it again. I've had to unfollow one of our ILX colleagues because his feed is full of the cunts crowing away

I am really very happy with the heavy Twitter pruning I did after the election, have not seen any of that.

Col so far otm i hurt myself shouting at the screen about how otm you was

now brexit and jeremy crobyn are just very slight insignificant details of history what can a pathetic bullshit melt with frazzled brain do with their time anymore?

what if we all just join the lib dems en masse? a plan so birdbrained and flawed, it might just work...... https://t.co/eoqCShd1TO

you can still order his authoritative and peerless George Orwell book on AMAZON though!

the lad knows politics and shit 90s straight white boy music

god he was such a condescending slimeball cunt on here.. really feel pity for any of his irl ilxer pals!

actually it's not that one. afaik the music journalists never posted to ilx, but the ilx poster isn't a music journalist, just someone who likes to collect them as FB friends

they are crowing about the antisemitism investigation

But...why? The report shows a lot of the complaints were vexatious, and although there were tons of legitimate complaints, they were backed up by wads of evidence that the complaints were soft-pedalled for factional reasons. Anyone who cares about antisemitism should find this report to be a fucking outrage.

"just someone who likes to collect them as FB friends"

oh well at least they aren't keeping bits of them in their freezer!

also i think calz is wrong, it never played out like that on here. probably silenced by big old uk pol meanies

Why are these guys obsessed with pointing out their own flaws in others?

Of course you can wonder and some of those people behaved appallingly but Corbyn is a vain and blinkered man who would always rather blame others than be honest about his own mistakes and weaknesses, hence my original tweet.

xp I think I was pretty rude to that person on an ilm thread of all things, but not a word I’ve ever seen him say over the years ever made me regret it.

ah there you go, PRO-JECT-SHUN *to the tune of 'Reproduction' from Grease 2"

godawful punctuation there. anyway, for balance, we need some posters who think Thatcher improved the country

There was such political violence on here. Even Soso and the little blackberry would have been disgusted at such savagery!

it's OK that they were vexatious, because the entire left of the Labour party is actually definitely antisemitic, all of them, so even if the actual allegations were false, they were also true. or something, it was pretty bizarro land (no offence to big BG), then I thought fuck this and clicked Unfollow X

In case you had any doubt as to why Diane Abbott was crying in the toilets, as party staff mocked her and passed on her location to journalists. Check the dates. pic.twitter.com/OhcUePSav3

The counter-arguments until you see what happened to Dawn Butler, Trot harridan

would love to hear from some of our more moderate posters on this

oh the other one was the report is just a smokescreen to try and cover for Crybon's extremism which is why Labour's lawyers have suppressed it, because it's all lies anyway, none of this happened, and if it did happen it's OK because all lefties are basically nazis
