"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

Cummings sounds remarkably like DJ Martian calling for #systemsthinking from #plankboris

So Carrie appoints Saj! NB If I hadn't tricked PM into firing Saj, we'd have had a HMT with useless SoS/spads, no furlough scheme, total chaos instead of JOINT 10/11 team which was a big success. Saj = bog standard = chasing headlines + failing = awful for NHS. Need #RegimeChange

Always good to see the children of bus drivers do well! Congrats @sajidjavid on your appointment as Health Secretary.

Look forward to working together to protect our communites from this awful pandemic, get London vaccinated and continue opening up our city and country safely.

Sajid Javid is the new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

Alongside being an MP, last year Javid was hired as a paid senior advisor to the US bank JP Morgan.

JP Morgan is a major player in private healthcare.

The NHS isn't safe in the Conservatives' hands.

god Khan is such a cunt

Get under that bus Khan!

some sympathy with Martha Hancock this morning but ultimately she did choose to marry Matt Hancock

No sympathy for Tory wives.

Trevor Sinclair getting called a helmet by the artful dodger for sympathising with a Tory is good content imo!

Pre-emptive tweet about Southgate

"Sajid Javid vows to ensure 'return to normal as soon as possible' as he starts work"

"School chaos as coronavirus cases up 70% in week"

he obv means "return to normal" in some deeply twisted and psychopathic Randian sense here. I heard some Tory on the radio this morning spinning it like a Top Trumps accolade that this useless cunt has "held two great offices of state".

'People are also sick of thinking there's a magic money tree, there isn't, so we've got to be clear about that.'

feigning being a non-political person who just cares about people in some hand-wavey bollox manner and then quoting that horrible sound bite Theresa May used to defend austerity. Lol she deserves to lose.

I’m curious, did Gina Coladangelo lose her job as well?

(xp)What, CCTV footage is about to emerge of Michael Gove snogging and fondling Dominic Cummings' bum?

Haha.

It does look like your government has things well in hand tho.

“Report: Classified UK defense papers found at bus stop”

Kim Leadbeater doesn't seem very bright. She seems to give answers to questions that any of us could give, ie:

"I don't know the details - I haven't seen the figures - I'd like nurses to be paid more, but I don't know how much".

That's what I would say if you casually asked me. But she's standing for Parliament!

Angela Rayner has been at it as well and was using the Tories fave "credit card maxed out" analogy this morning. Isn't it supposed to be the Tory Chancellor's job to justify austerity not the deputy leader of the opposition? What's the point of any of these wankers.

This whole approach of thinking you can outflank the tories from the right, it's so self-evidently nonsense.

They don't have the political convictions to tell their advisors to stuff that shit.

yeah I know but even from a totally cynical electoralist pov it seems like a giant miscalculation

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E49iZhjXwAMeCOb?format=png&name=900x900

this from the Huff Post piece is hilarious!

Also very funny that Starmer’s supporters want him to prioritise changing the leadership rules to permanently exclude the left but recognise that, with the threat from the left gone, he’d probably be couped immediately.

That's how it goes in the 'soft left'

it's still three days until this by-election apparently 😳

Wondering if the Eng-er-land game will have any bearing on the outcome.

I see there's at least a dozen racist cnuts running but not Reform

Data not dates junked at the 1st opportunity. Only covid killing hundreds of ppl a day again to provide any 'opposition'

Why are they so hung up on it being "irreversible?

Probably because they haven't managed yet?

I’m curious, did Gina Coladangelo lose her job as well?

― Mark G, Sunday, June 27, 2021 10:18 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

Yes, she stood down from her job, yes.

Why was that? Is it some kind of admission of guilt for something everyone seems to be saying was 'above board'?

Good luck to @England ahead of today's game against Germany.

Staff should be allowed to finish early so they can watch the match. #euro2020 https://t.co/dvDpfgtuFc

— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) June 29, 2021

the fucking state of this

And cheer on Germany.

As an Arsenal fan Starmer knows the value of fans leaving early.

The 'more tweets' for that, for me, had these as a one-two

some truther in the replies "that's not Wembley, it's too full". yes of course it's a fake pic that was contrived just to boil yr piss!

I'm getting strong Death of Diana mass hysteria vibes from this, it's worth remembering that England are only through to the quarter finals.

there is already speculation that the Starmer office already plan to blame the next lot of ten points behind polling and the Batley and Spen loss on the England bounce

Neve forget https://imgur.com/a/7lNFPtr

I love ms Sultana but does she really have an art studio where she can go to make pictures like that?

maybe she digs real minimalism, not that fake centrist minimalism you get in Homes & Gardens mag or whatever!

Striking but not necessarily surprising that this hasn't really received much attention from left commentators in last few weeks, tbh!

And do remember to apply if there's even a slight chance that you might need to – someone we know only realised they had to do so two days ago!! https://t.co/2foxaICwft

All about procedure.

Labour leading on The Sun’s Matt Hancock scoop. Sir Keir Starmer demands to know why the PM didn’t sack Hancock immediately. “The PM must have been the only person in the country who saw that photo and did not think the Health Secretary should have been sacked immediately” #PMQs

— Kate Ferguson (@kateferguson4) June 30, 2021

Meanwhile Sajid is going to go for the NHS, and the country will fully open in two weeks.

A poll shows 61% of the membership think Kieth is a wanker and also probably 80% of the PLP consider him a lame flop, but they'll do anything to avoid a leadership challenge until they can change the voting rules and he'll probably limp on for months after the terrible dj Batley & Spen set. Just so they have enough to time to hollow the party out some more before replacing the chump.

Whining about how a person who's already resigned should have been fired sooner. This is what true opposition looks like.
