Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

could Anna Rothery beat off any hollow Starmer candidate if she stood as an independent? would love that to happen

perhaps i could have put that a bit better

being an even bigger hate figure in Liverpool than Boris would be a hell of an accomplishment

starmer is a plant

but he wants to keep plants banned

(xp An invasive weed, to be more precise.

it's funny that because I often think it would be fun to hack him down to size with a garden machete

NEW: Understand that Anna Rothery intends to seek an injunction if the decision to reopen the Liverpool selection process without the previously shortlisted candidates is not reversed. "If the decision stands, then I will be left with no choice but to challenge it legally."

Labour's Liverpool Mayoral Candidate announced:
It's Mr Gerry Mander

xxp it's a simple mistake, he actually just said that he want to keep his bantz planned.

Anna Rothery would've been the first Black woman mayor of a major city in the UK and was blocked from making history by the Starmer regime because she was too left-wing. They treated her with such disrespect they informed the press before her.
Black Lives Don't matter to Labour.

I hear Kieth tipped off his Bet365 donor pal so they lay off a big attractive overround book on the Liverpool mayor betting odds before he pulled the rug on the game!

Fucking disgusting.

Verdict on whether Emilie Oldknow gets to know who blew the whistle on *her* appalling WhatsApp messages comes on Friday.

It’s an extraordinary thing to do without even a surface justification as the assumption a lot of people are likely to make without one is that they’re suspected of corruption as well.

What would be really interesting is if a credible independent figure now came forward, someone respected in the city who was promising a total move away from the current administration and promised to work across the parties - you have to say they'd have a decent chance

Charline is a good follow, never seen her looking to leave the party. Maybe that's what they want but the price they'll pay is too high.

I was a laughing earlier at the comment: it's a shame Dobson is dead!

Across the UK, the appeal of buy-to-let purchases has been waning, as residents leave central London, either moving to more suburban areas or back in with family during the pandemic https://t.co/EecSUnHqzj pic.twitter.com/r36vFlWmr3

;_;

Starmer taking Liverpool for some fucking fealty he can do with as he petulantly wishes to is something I really hope will come back and bite him (or indeed the Labour Party) hard. Liverpool has gone through a dramatic electoral swing before, like when the sectarian vote was split between the Tories and the Liberal Party for decades before Thatcherism.

Feels true.

The saddest thing about Corbyn's leadership is just how poorly timed it was. Imagine what he'd be doing right now to hold the government to account on the pandemic, corruption, racial injustice, etc. But instead he had to spend 4 years doing half-assed apologia for the EU.

well I guess you could technically call that a crowd as there is more than a few people there

I think we can also safely assume that was at least a year ago for obvious reasons

yeah this might have been just after he told Liverpool he wouldn't deal with The Sun before saying the exact opposite to the Fabian Society in London the next day.

Why has the war criminal Tony Blair suddenly been thrust back into the limelight 🤷‍♂️

Isn't he a verified covidiot and a tory voter? Or am I mixing with some other dickhead footballer!

He'll be disappointed with this one.

Tonight’s poll. Do you place

UK public clearly consider the terms 'health' and 'freedom' to be interchangeable, they may be right.

Lol the harm reduction app says vote Tory for slightly less worse austerity

Boris should finish off that manoeuvre by sacking Hancock

Speaking of which, James Murray MP, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, looking like an even more creepy Hancock homonculus, is dedicated to opposing windfall taxes on covid profiteers in the name of fiscal prudence.

Would Labour back reports of a corporation tax rise and windfall tax on big firms in next week’s Budget? asks @bbclaurak

what a snivelling little shit. can see why Starmer put him in the shadow cabinet though, his voice is worse than his.

his suit looks like cgi but they've got the scale wrong

I feel a bit guilty about all the times I used to slag off Richard Burgon now

Minister from party that revels in a system where the circumstances of your birth grossly impact your life opportunities says he will do "anything" to stop this happening to children who missed a year of school

oh come on, that's a bit unfair

which bit? i didn't word myself very clearly. in pre-covid times even full attendance in education from 4 to 18 would have less impact on your life chances than where you're born, socioeconomic circumstances of your family and i've never noticed a Tory who gave a shit about those disadvantages. Williamson is spouting shit unless he acknowledges that broader context.

in the same way that no Tory backbencher ever said a thing about children's mental health before it was a bad faith argument to get their businesses running again

otm

otvfm

haha sorry it was a bad joke, in that "it's a bit unfair" that "the circumstances of your birth grossly impact your life opportunities."

obviously more than a bit

lol sorry for broken irony detector

sorry for my lumpen attempts at 'humour'

this is what I use so there is no confusion!

and it doesn't even fucking work anyways!

fwiw I misinterpreted your comment as you might have thought nv was talking about that shrill weasel labour mp in the video above and was saying steady on let's not to be too harsh on Starmer Labour!
