I mean it's in the title of their party - they shouldn't even need a "unit" lol! But of course so much they've done in the last decade and new labour before them has done the SNP's work for them!

Politics - Trending

Laurence Fox

Trending with Katie Hopkins

So this is where we are. Absolute fucking arse end of 2020 and this no mark actor turned no mark politician Lolz Fox is trending for expecting the NHS to be able to upscale to accommodate covid parties with Kate fucking Hopkins or some shit. I don't even know. How the fuck did we come to this?

Clean-up on ILX (onimo), Monday, 30 November 2020 11:57 (three years ago) link

The funniest gossip I read this weekend was that allegedly at Pride 2019, a very pissed up Angela Rayner was loudly telling anyone that would listen that she would soon enough be the new leader of the Labour Party.

calzino, Monday, 30 November 2020 12:51 (three years ago) link

She should have stabbed her roomie in the back and run ;)

imago, Monday, 30 November 2020 12:57 (three years ago) link

she didn't need to, no weather forecast was required to see which way the wind was blowing!

calzino, Monday, 30 November 2020 13:03 (three years ago) link

Kieth would never be very pissed up at Pride

Carry On Scamping (Noodle Vague), Monday, 30 November 2020 13:23 (three years ago) link

yeah, I did actually used to like Angela until I got a better sense of her politics.

calzino, Monday, 30 November 2020 13:27 (three years ago) link

I still think her politics are sound, but she's in an unfortunate bind of her own making

imago, Monday, 30 November 2020 14:17 (three years ago) link

The 'bind' must itself be 'her politics'.

She's been elected as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She can choose what she says. She chooses to say things that are mendacious and poisonous.

That's now her politics.

the pinefox, Monday, 30 November 2020 15:01 (three years ago) link

correct. as England's foremost novelist Tom Watson has pointed out, the deputy is pretty much free to conduct their own line

Carry On Scamping (Noodle Vague), Monday, 30 November 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link

I guess the bind is lack of backbone, ultimately. Alas

imago, Monday, 30 November 2020 15:21 (three years ago) link

i suspect it is just simple opportunism

plax (ico), Monday, 30 November 2020 15:41 (three years ago) link

I can't cope with reality any more, how can the EHRC commissioner in charge of the labour investigation be a 'can't say anything cos of the woke stasi' type racist and an actual fucking Whig, in the 21st century, a fucking Whig https://t.co/tdCtLUA5rO

— Frank Sobotka (@cymrurouge) November 30, 2020

lol the EHRC person who led the Labour inquiry not only liked a post defending Scruton's anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, he stood as Whig candidate in 2015 .. lol wtf!

calzino, Monday, 30 November 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link

The Whig Party is sitting out the current situation in British politics. Brexit is a mess and the Tories are a shambolic government. We believe that there is a place for a socially liberal and economically literate party that stands up for progress, intelligence, and decency. But we don’t think we will make much impact right now. We chose not to stand any candidates at the 2017 General Election, and we expect not to stand any before 2022. Because next time we run, we’re running to win.

I hope he's talking about the Morning Star. There aren't many other candidates.

the pinefox, Monday, 30 November 2020 16:24 (three years ago) link

to people of his ilk the Graun is still a left wing newspaper.

Windmill tilting in the right direction on this bullshit. Weird how I thought the Children's Act was supposed to protect human rights

Carry On Scamping (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 15:56 (three years ago) link

i wonder why this is different to the many other long term decisions children are able to give informed consent to

God there are a lot of Tories against stopping coronavirus

stet, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:19 (three years ago) link

The constant use of Keith instead of Keir seems a bit like that underlying racism where all the difficult or foreign sounding names should be anglicised. Literally every time I see it, that's the first thing I think of. It's disappointing.

the pinefox, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:05 (three years ago) link

are Keirs of the factory running classes a race now? lol!

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:09 (three years ago) link

Keir is difficult to spell seemingly, but foreign?

ILXceptionalism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:18 (three years ago) link

Keith is as foreign as Keir you plank.

ILXceptionalism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:19 (three years ago) link

Let's bend a knee for Kier. Posh white men's life matter as well, even if they have stupid names!

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:40 (three years ago) link

Laim doesn't get it

Carry On Scamping (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:46 (three years ago) link

If there any Labour history geeks that want to name their kids after a historical Labour leader, they should consider other options in future.

calzino, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 13:48 (three years ago) link

Reminds me of when Rangers fans started thinking the Scottish press were biased against them (I mean, can you believe it?) and nicknamed the Daily Record the Daily Rebel and the Sunday Mail the Sunday Liam.

STARMER: "When I abstain, I come to the House and explain - when the Prime Minister abstains he runs away to Afghanistan." #PMQs

I wish Keith would run off to Afghanistan, without bravely explaining the reasoning for his political cowardice.
