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

Something like that was bound to turn up.

The whole line of ‘um, how can it be a work meeting when there was WINE?’ was a pretty obvious hostage to fortune.

Yes it certainly was. A controversial idea here but perhaps he should start thinking about more substantial ways to attack the Tories rather than almost entirely relying on the changeable whims of the right-wing press.

Just over here examining my nails and remembering Corbyn getting monstered for attending a wake and not immediately leaving when a seventh person joined. Oh well!

what a vile man! Naturally that wake picture makes a few showings in the Aylett replies. When you can't dream of a better world all that's left in the game for you is some irrelevant whataboutery about a former leader who was finished off two years ago but still lives inside your head.

the lovely Emma B and i were talking last night about how different things would be if Corbyn were Labour leader now, and it had been Starmer trying to square the Brexit circle. vastly preferable, was our conclusion.

Just on a purely selfish self-centred micro-level, my paltry Carer's Allowance would been almost doubled, yer me besht mate Jezza!

sadly find it hard to imagine Corbyn+COVID being better but through no fault of his

He probs wouldn’t have cured it, but I would imagine improved sick pay and better support for vulnerable people would have been higher on the agenda, and he wouldn’t have been pushing through a load of viciously racist legislation at the same time.

Yeah but the press would have slaughtered him for lockdowns and not putting the economy first and so on.

I tease a guy I work with, who was pro-Corbyn but is totally anti-lockdown these days, about what he thinks Corbyn's position on the lockdown would have been.

... he's also against vaccines and boosters now because Big Pharma.

Feeling a little nauseous at Gordon Brown lecturing us on how Western nations should be ashamed at not sending vaccines to 3rd world countries and quoting Martin Luther King on the arc of moral justice, pity he's never seen so conscience-stricken about the Iraq War and aftermath.

he's always going on about sending all our unused vaccines to 3rd world countries when they don't have a long shelf life and require refrigeration for long haul journeys - which are both big problems. Maybe he doesn't want to upset some of his billionaire pals by campaigning for a patent waiver which is the solution that 3rd world countries really need.

Had never seen this Jon Snow clip before.

Isn't that Judi Dench?

Whoever it is, that isn't the actual photograph but yet more side-splitting twitter humour.

Correct!

every single tory is a bastard. everyone who votes for them, everyone who gives them political cover, everyone who accommodates them in social situations. scum of the earth https://t.co/PuA45crpb2

I'm just reminding myself that wishing death upon Starmer is not just for Christmas, but for all days of the year and every single member of his shadow cabinet are bastards and fuck the centre-right hollowed out husk that is the Labour Party forevermore as well. And ho ho ho merry Christmas to all!

Bless you Calz! Happy Christmas!

as to you plax!

Ho ho to all!

And it's a ho ho ho from Desmond Swayne:

“We have earned the right to be treated like adults: to make our own assessment of the risks we are prepared to take and the sensible precautions that we apply. People are fed up with being ordered what not to do.”

Looking forward to further death and destruction in 2022!

that's is response to getting a parking ticket is it

or taking his two-year-old on a rollercoaster maybe?

oh my bad that's a quote from of the channel migrants

or you know, somebody who takes an actual risk ye fuckin weapon

And what can you personally learn from this Keir? Maybe not flag waving appeasement of your mythical red wall voters? Maybe not staying silent on what you deem “culture war” issues which is definitely siding with oppressors https://t.co/wemC4TYUTa

Can you imagine what this cunt would have been saying about Mandela during apartheid?

But you know as well as I do that, somehow, the Israeli government is placed on a pedestal [in the US], and to criticise it is to be immediately dubbed anti-semitic, as if the Palestinians were not semitic. I am not even anti-white, despite the madness of that group. And how did it come about that Israel was collaborating with the apartheid government on security measures?

People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what? For goodness sake, this is God's world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust.

his party "comrade" dame Margaret Hodge, who he paid glowing tributes to recently, made a considerable amount of her wealth doing business with the apartheid regime. Boilerplate obits from insincere slimeball pols always sound shit but Kieth is especially bad at this.

What happened to that guy?

when he came out as a Cameron groupie it was all downhill from there.

How’s he going to do at the FT where you actually need to be telling people what’s going on?

Once again reminding you that Stevie B was never old enough to vote for Blair and my God does he adore him

both Cameron and Blair (stephen's two major crushes) are both 6ft + tall, poor Kieth is fucked lol

I’m trying to be less ruled by my id in the new year so you’ll just have to fill in the blank of what I wish upon these good people 🤗🤗🤗

God, I thought that said Robert Carlye there at first, I was like, "Boaby, whit the fuck, man?"

Imagine praising the Tories for ultra low interest rates -- which are a device used by central banks in all major economies as a consequence of the financial crash -- and that will have to rise again next year to keep inflation to 5%.

Not only are the priorities wrong but also lots of really stupid, minor stuff like annuity freedom lol.

what could be positive about a decade of austerity driven death and despair ... oh oh me sir.. low interest rates!

Given that he hangs around Starmer and will probably act as some kind of advisor I am expecting a really weird campaign.

Gay marriage was 2013

Is Boris going away then?

probably not, they know he can win elections and if the best other candidates they can come up are Jeremy Cunt or Liz Truss or the pencil-necked Super Rishi then I reckon they will hold fire on him and rough it out. They are only up against Kieth ffs!

Sunak is a shoo-in, no way they're picking Truss.

she's extremely popular with the membership and lol is going for an Iron Lady image reboot now. Just don't mention the cheese.
