I bet Mandelson (talking to him for the first time since 2018 lol) has told him he's only half fash and that just isn't good enough to get on the wavelength of "red wall" voters.

if I was the LOTO I simply wouldn't take advice from a man who was in Epstein's black book and also had a hand on the 2009 disaster, while allegedly he was "more distracted with finishing his memoir than the election campaign".

weird how ppl talk about culture war as if it's an optional surface level distraction & doesn't have deep roots in the things they claim we should be focusing on instead. even still starmer has had nothing but culture war shit going for him but apparently it only counts if it's woke

I still can't get over the halving child poverty thing it's like a parody of the mundane horror of centrism

why do these old liberal monsters only ever show up to demand more racism

@CAATuk have a really useful resource on their website - a database that shows which arms companies have premises near you. You can filter results by destination.

For instance, here are Bristol companies exporting weapons to Israel.

she wanted to flip the format and put some positivity in our lives by reminding us she's alright. I bet she's still doing that tortured version a smile under the mask.

Priti Patel is vaccinated. The nation can sleep soundly in their beds tonight. Apart from the ones who've died of Covid.

Latest Opinium poll spells post election trouble for Labour

* Voting intention shows 13 point Tory lead
* Con 44% vs Lab 31%
* Johnson has 17 point lead over Starmer as best prime minister
* A third (33%) of 2019 Labour voters want Starmer to resign

Imagine if the pandemic response had been anything other than haphazard shite! Actually it probably would have lost them votes, this is the UK England we're talking about.

remind me not to read the comments on that one (Matt #2), Saturday, 15 May 2021 19:58 (two years ago) link

this goes much deeper than the pandemic response, he's offered next to nothing and most people have heard his voice by now.

calzino, Saturday, 15 May 2021 20:10 (two years ago) link

I understand that, but I can't perceive a sit where Starmer earns votes. Xpost

Mark G, Saturday, 15 May 2021 20:10 (two years ago) link

there are never going to be enough creepazoid Fabians, disloyal Tory voters, undiscerning melts, culturally working-class Workington knuckle scrapers .. whatever you want to call them, who will coalesce in great numbers around Kieth rather than reluctantly vote for Tories again. I feel like I've graduated into a polling guru now, because I knew this would happen 18 months ago.

Can get 250-1 on Tony Blair as next Labour leader at William Hill, worth a punt.

It was also Alexei who taught me that Kieth was a member of the shady as fuck neo-lib organisation The Trilateral Commission.

Akehurst's glassy-eyed sociopathy is unreal. Not remotely troubled by the loss of Palestinian lives, not a flicker of compassion in him. And 20k people voted him on to the Labour NEC https://t.co/uWQ1chhtiY

stuff that Kieth says is so painfully meaningless and empty that even the quotation marks are trying to disown it.

I think the main reason for him falling out with Rayner was her fashion individualism and what the neighbours might think of it.

Ensuring the next manifesto will be dead on arrival

It is exceptionally badass that so many MPs and the commentariat (not Sienna herself) absolutely approve of Starmer openly lying to the people who made him leader, then intentionally screwing them over. I think it’s very clarifying about their views, priorities and principles. pic.twitter.com/0joigzlkuv

Burnham's a total cock and using the same tactics as Kieth, as in presenting a self-serving fabricated version of recent Labour history that insults your intelligence if you have been involved with the party and closely followed events as they did occur.

calzino, Sunday, 16 May 2021 23:16 (two years ago) link

him boasting that he'd have held the Red Wall seats is such cute narcissism though!

yes the john lewis men are all vying for the top spots

Starmer said he would spend the summer on the road, but that it would be not “just half-day visits but going for two or more days to a particular place”.

don't worry Kieth i'm sure she'll let you back in the house eventually

Chickpeas, Scamps and Beeves (Noodle Vague), Monday, 17 May 2021 06:58 (two years ago) link

another good weekend for him since Shaggersgate. Yesterday McD was denouncing him as a conman and Alexei Sayle dismissed him as "little shitbag" to uproarious applause. Inject this into my arms!

"going for two or more days to a particular place”

the pinefox, Monday, 17 May 2021 09:31 (two years ago) link

unfortunately like with the MayBot, prolonged exposure to the public (in particular places!) is not really the answer to Kieth's woes and just adds to them.

Andrew Marr has suggested he may soon leave the BBC as he has a “desperate urge to come out of the closet” with his political views

amazingly not from a fake joke headlines bot and from today's Torygraph.

calzino, Monday, 17 May 2021 10:04 (two years ago) link

Who knew Marr was an ecosocialist?

Chickpeas, Scamps and Beeves (Noodle Vague), Monday, 17 May 2021 10:06 (two years ago) link

just remembering that time he just went short of physically attacking Shami Chakrabarti on live television, that was a glimpse of the nasty little Tory aggro-weasel he really is.

calzino, Monday, 17 May 2021 10:19 (two years ago) link

He’s probably a basic liberal or considers himself as such but a) gets annoyed if women are smarter than him and b) an Obs writer of some note once told me he did something ruthless and unprofessional to someone he considered competition in the office, only wish I could remember exactly what that was.
