“I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie” - UK politics June 23 on

It's horrible for you both. Horrible when the violence is so near. Sorry to hear it.

My non-music job is as an informatics/analytics lead for a major London trust and I have seen many “AI” automation proposals. All of them have been staggeringly unworkable in almost every way, largely proposed by (albeit well-meaning) folk with no working knowledge of NHS data. https://t.co/qJyZVIomjg

I'd like to see old Boris wriggle his way out of this one!

well at least our next likely PM is not an unprincipled, lying, adulterous piece of human garbage, lol

Ouch, they've really done a number on the lying sack of shit.

Now endless videos and pics of him jogging.

Boris Johnson
Liberal, nuanced, cautious: is this the real Boris Johnson?

the Graun had his number right from the start of his premiership

Now endless videos and pics of him jogging.

lol

Jog on Jogson

An ok piece laying out our next crisis.

Pollster: 'Boris Johnson is more unpopular than Phillip Schofield or Xi Jinping'

he's history's greatest monster

Unless you're an equally conniving corrupt MP who is now free to act with impunity until the next time the press need a wicker man

Now endless videos and pics of him jogging.

Corbyn on R4 PM today - first on Glenda Jackson, then on Johnson, then on Labour - was excellent. (Twitter thread)

“The meeting went silent, every body turned to stare at each other, and Glenda gave me the biggest wink you’d ever seen”

Former Labour leader, @jeremycorbyn , shares his fond memories of working with Glenda Jackson, who has passed away at age 87.#bbcpm pic.twitter.com/wqqT2WdrMb

I listened to a GJ interview a few years ago and she was saying Corbyn shouldn't have been the leader because working class people who the Labour Party are supposed to serve are preternaturally a socially conservative bunch of people. Her politics were basically of that detestably condescending noblesse oblige variety of the Labour Right.

...which makes JC's tribute all the more generous, and suggestive of a broader acceptance of differing views than he's generally given credit for.

How dare Jambone Crumhorn say anything ever

he has consistently been very generous towards other party people like that, and it has rarely been reciprocated unless you could take a knife in the back as a friendly gesture. It's all very well being a nice guy, but they were going to destroy him even if he wasn't.

I was living in Primrose Hill with a bunch of Balearic ravers and club runners from a fairly infamous estate in South London and they did terrace chants of GLENDA IS OUR LEADER, OUR LEADER, OUR LEADER when she was elected, which was the only bit of levity in the 1992 election. They were classic ex-terrace hoolies who’d had epiphanies about violence and racism while on pills in Ibiza, and every single one of them hated Thatcher for destroying any cohesion in their community of origin (and the rest).

BTW Glenda Jackson also told anyone who asked that she did not consider Jeremy Corbyn to be antisemitic and that his advocacy for Palestinians was the cause of the accusations.

"-and it'll be required that we only say nice things about him from now on"

xpost obv

apparently johnson's first mail column will be essentially an advert for a new weight loss drug.

not 'apparently' it's already online.

and yes, this an advert free way of checking/hatereading their site.

He's no Adrian Chiles.

God that was a slog, makes me yearn for the exquisite prose of Adrian Chiles. Wonder who actually wrote it?

lolworthy xpost

I think they'll need endless videos and pics of him jogging for this column to work.

Next column: the responsibilities of fatherhood.

... how to avoid them.

Wes Streeting: ‘If I’m going out, I’m a binge drinker – terrible messaging for the shadow health secretary!’

Surely this is contraindicated by his recent health izsuesy

Lol typo got away from me

I'd be very surprised if Wes really is a binge drinker, it was only a few years ago he had major surgery for stomach cancer. Maybe he just wants the Westminster piss-head crew to think he's one of them.

Kidney cancer (and if he’d had stomach cancer so young, that might be indicative of extra drinking).

ah, I remembered it wrong. If his posting is to be believed a steady diet of ultra processed beef from McDs would also put him at risk. Not that I believe anything this fucker says.

I was probably born with the kidney cancer my doctor found when I was four, so I can’t really speak to that bit of his experience.

Even I as a non-dancer, am a bit embarrassed for them.

EXCLUSIVE: First ever Partygate video revealed as Tories drink, dance and laugh at Covid rulespic.twitter.com/vIHbuIqWWf

— The Mirror (@DailyMirror) June 17, 2023

the tories are flailing. Strong Colin Hunt vibes from the male "dancer".

wonder how long this video has been available to journalists who've chosen not to share it

i'm not particularly bothered by this party compared to the many government decisions which actually killed people during the pandemic, always interesting to see what's considered newsworthy and worthy of outrage showboating tho

I personally don't care either, but can understand why it's emotive to people who couldn't attend funerals or had family die alone and how UK media cynically publishes this stuff when it suits their agenda. Although saying that I detest funerals and would be happy to die alone, so perhaps I'm not normal!

I'd like to believe that the Mirror sat on this for a period because they knew it would give people no motivation to obey the lockdown rules themselves if they saw this. But I think that's probably far too generous an interpretation. I'm also disgusted to read that apparently the Met knew this video existed but did nothing with it.

that the UK govt flouts their own rules isn't really as shocking as them rolling out policies that causes hundreds of thousands of people to die miserable, squalid deaths. I was reminded by a program last week the the first WCA related suicide happened some time before the 2010 GE results came in. This is why any partisan stuff from The Mirror doesn't really work for me, because the people with blood on their hands will likely be ministers in the next Labour govt.

Another Con MP quits, another byelection.

the complaints about him are malicious says the Tory MP who admitted he was sniffing cocaine and drinking "incredibly potent" Japanese whisky

I like the BBC headline “I’ll expose my children to homelessness - William”. Not a practice that’s unknown to royal types, not sure people will approve nowadays .

The prince also revealed when asked there are "absolutely" plans for social housing on the Duchy of Cornwall - the estate given to the heir of the throne, which provides him with an income.

great, another little Poundbury style model village from one of these parasitic fuckwits. So entitled and up his own arsehole he thinks becoming a landlord is an altruistic act.

(xp) This guy actually using the example of Corbyn performing better than expected in 2017!

"Things can only get wetter", but obv NV's suggestion is a thing which is better.

Starmer is gonna choke like fuck as soon as he gets any pushback

this is absolutely locked in. it will be epic.

wonder how long it’ll be before we find out what really happened with the deliveroo driver

i’m sure cctv footage of starmer enjoying a delicious beverage in the pub beforehand will mysteriously surface eventually

"..we've returned Labour to the party in service of working people..."

thanks for saving us from the anti-union, pro-zero hours poverty policies of the evil jam man.

Asking the question.

Its 4th July, you live in rainy fash island..

Just amazed that no umbrella was to be found when Sunak announced it...

Not a serious country

👀
Wow! Extraordinary but true - some furious Conservative MPs are tonight working on a plot to CALL OFF the general election by replacing Rishi Sunak as leader before Parliament is dissolved next Thursday.
One rebel Tory MP tells me he believes “several” more letters of no…

Ok ....

i hope they are able to remove sunak as pm asap because that seems like it gets really funny and stupid and is probably the best hope for the election not producing a one party state
