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

Sir Ken Wanker

we have a question from the randos:

if bobby sands would have lived and recovered, would he have been able to serve as MP? or would he be in prison still? or both?

He would have been MP and still in prison. As a member of the IRA he wouldn't have sat in the British parliament even if he were not incarcerated.

The British government made a law that prisoners serving sentences of a year or more couldn't run for parliament to prevent further hunger strikers from running for office

And Jeffrey Archer

Another month of nothing

Westminster voting intention:
CON: 43% (+2)
LAB: 32% (-3)

Kieth is drastically needing some kind of bounce, but not another cyclist bouncing off the bonnet of his SUV please Lord.

triple-bracket man Hodges has decided to shit his pants today

Many players and many fans want some sort of anti-racism statement at the start of games. Many fans do not back taking a knee. So we simply need a new anti-racist symbol that people can unite behind. Not one imported from the states, but one everyone can have ownership of.

the accolades are pouring in:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starmera
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starmerella

don’t know what this means, but it sounds fitting somehow:

Starmera is often associated with necrotic lesions in cacti.

some brutal polls dropping this week, it's a stark contrast with the ruddy faced necrotic lesion excitedly jumping about + babbling Labour Is Back after the *massive* win and the Tories having a brief Hancock related wobble.

the waters closed up around hancock like a prophecy long foretold

See, the tories don't want to déposé Starmer or cause that to happen. So, they threw Batley/Spen so he didn't have to fight a leadership challenge which he would probably lose. They don't want that. And they have enough majority to toss one.

They did run a very anonymous identikit ex-councillor type candidate, but maybe they thought his experience would impress people more than all that "I'm a local person for local people" parochialism, it nearly did.

I can't even remember his name, it was the Leadbeater and Galloway show.

48,553 new cases and 63 deaths today. And this is before people starting steaming into pubs and clubs and full capacity events like Silverstone in the name of Freedom next week.

I'm sorry to have to announce that our friend @DawnHFoster has passed away at home suddenly, aged 34. An elegant writer and eloquent commentator, Dawn effortlessly mastered a media mainstream loath to admit outsider perspectives.

what???

oh no

I didn’t realise she had a serious illness. God that’s terrible.

OMG RIP ;_;

Fucking hell

That’s really sad. She was often posting about her sudden blackouts and hospital trips and I was fearing the worst.

Dawn Foster wrote one of the truest paragraphs in the guardian’s history and was then fired. I’m not normally one for etching things into stone but I’d make an exception for this. pic.twitter.com/IDrzB8tr8p

I often used to think what a nightmare it was when my son had a few epileptic seizures in a single week. She often took pics of injuries suffered in her frequent seizures and I thought this is someone dealing with a lot of problems but is always funny and taking all the lying scumbags in politics to the cleaners with her devastating wit. She was a one-off true maverick and is a big loss:(

The article that got her the sack from The Guardian is no.2 on the most viewed comments pieces rn

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/commentisfree

"This article is more than 2 years old"

yeah but still more relevant than ever, just the cast of characters fucking grotesque Labour wankers has changed

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E6XBVz0WUAUbShq?format=jpg&name=medium

never forget the disdain with which these lib wankers at the Graun directed at her

"it is far easier to stay in a party, wrecking it week by week, hoping to terminally undermine the leader and then inherit the ruins.

But the end result of Watson et al’s constant attacks will not be electoral success under another Labour leader, but a Tory victory. And the people who need a Labour government to change their lives and communities are unlikely to forgive people like him."

This piece gives you some details about Dawn’s childhood, and it’s a tough read, particularly if you’ve ever experienced domestic violence or disordered eating. It could have finished her, but it didn’t. It also wasn’t the making of her: she made herself. https://t.co/ze7jCwt1bg

Our new report #MIS2021 with @crsp_lborouni is out today. It shows that millions of households across our country are having to live on incomes that fall far short of what the public thinks is needed for a minimum standard of living. Read here: https://t.co/M3fMfqRR7v

at least the *progressive alliance* would in theory be all out to reverse all the austerity cuts and end all the UC/PIP fuckery .. if there actually was a fucking "progressive" party in England. Kieth has been "sweating blood" to woo some thick as pigshit tory voters in Blackpool. Loads of woolly New Labour sloganeering about economic competence with sly nods to racist morons isn't going to end austerity.

apparently Keunnsberg was misrepresenting what one of the Blackpool group who hadn't voted Labour since 2010 said to make it sound like a Corbyn issue. Quelle fucking surprise.

Another councillor lost, look at the shift. They have ten now, from zero in 2019

Tividale (Sandwell) result:

CON: 52.6% (+20.7)
LAB: 43.2% (-13.7)
IND: 2.1% (+2.1)
LDEM: 1.6% (+1.6)
TUSC: 0.5% (+0.5)

Conservative GAIN from Labour.

No Grn (-11.3) as prev.

the callous contempt for young people on display here is just depressing. They've borne the brunt of Covid job losses and sacrificed nearly 18 months of the prime of their lives to look out for others (mostly) more vulnerable than themselves https://t.co/zDQxKc9q4p pic.twitter.com/gA2p4tHu9v

so Kieth's new campaigning tactic is doing televised focus groups with ignorant gammon bastards that will never vote for him and sit there grinning like a cunt while they slag off young people.

The labour party will only win again when its lead by someone who thinks talking about the labour party is boring

yeah reminding people who aren't going to vote for them how shit they are whilst simultaneously telling great swathes of 2019 voters to fuck off is a great tactic. But how about making some popular policy offers that might improve people's lives rather than talking about the fucking Labour Party.

Well, just when you think Starmer will never try some new tactic

It’s the penitential quality of Keir’s fortnightly rebrands that I really dig. The absence of light in his eyes, the suppressed horror of his body language, and his almost involuntary commitment to a single message: we’re shit and we don’t deserve your vote … yet. pic.twitter.com/ncBASh6aAQ

Zacky claims to have last voted Labour in 1997.

Could this be him standing for the Tories just three years later? pic.twitter.com/NoSH7fugeC

— black lives matter (@jrc1921) July 16, 2021

Some cunt who last voted Labour in 1997? Tell him to keep on voting Tory and go fuck himself.

I wish I could just be wryly amused by how utterly fucking useless Kieth is in terms of electioneering strategy, but also the cunt needs doing in. But also he's made it so I don't care anymore, so he's pretty good at what he does really.

Javid has it, which means a load more of them will have too. Can’t wait for full-house PMQs this week.

I know they all caught it before and it didn't teach them shit but still lmao

i've just been recycling newspapers from the first time it swept through the cabinet. "Coronavirus Strikes At The Heart Of Government", "Britain's Testing Shambles" etc. it's a year later and...

If you made this shit up no-one would believe you.
