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

Unhinged to keep going on about that note after all the covid support people and businesses got.

Lucy Powell holds the line on the two-child limit on Times Radio: "There's no money left, to coin a phrase." Liam Byrne's note not so much a millstone for this Labour leadership as a philosophy for government.

The Labour Party using a stick the Tories have gleefully used over the years to beat the Labour Party, to beat... the Labour Party? Self-clowning or what?

Have they used the Winter of Discontent and the Enemy Within yet?

Give's department literally* 'gave back' £2Bn last week.

Gove lol. First he Goveth.

not seen any signs of this imminent "Shadow Cabinet revolt" against Kieth that was reported yesterday, if any of them had a shred of integrity they'd have already been booted out.

‘I don’t think the idea of keeping people in poverty is fiscally responsible'

North of Tyne Mayor Jamie Driscoll says Labour is ‘storing up problems for the long term’ with its new policy to keep the two-child cap on benefits if it gets into government

The Westminster Think Tank scene

This is both dumb and disgraceful - Policy Exchange is an important part of the Westminster think tank scene and shouldn’t be intimidated in this way https://t.co/cBABHJ5ECa

lmao

The scene that celebrates its health (fiscal only)

Nice

Tories HOLD Uxbridge & South Ruislip!
No idea whether this is good or bad, probably bad because everything is bad. Bad in that they are already pinning it on ULEZ I suppose.
Bad that I'm still awake at this time.

Gonna need to offer to starve more kids

Sadiq Khan will be shitting himself.

Spot the unconvincing puppet with Keir Starmer's hand up his arse.

Lol @ this nerd

Starmer Boy

My God, he's even called Keir!

Some of this shit will be swept away so fast. A decrease in inflation and interest rates should do it

fucking Rovers fans

can he make up his mind whether being murdered by a 19 year old is embarrassing or a clear act of self defence https://t.co/ykySp50nrV

I know it’ll have been a fair amount of tactical voting there but Labour losing their deposit whilst the greens double their vote share isn’t a great look for the impending Labour landslide https://t.co/UDaJAf3NSy

Current headline on the guardian...

Starmer urges Khan to ‘reflect’ on Ulez rules after Uxbridge defeat

Labour leader hails Selby byelection victory but says London mayor must consider expansion of ultra-low emission zone

God I hate this prick. Yeah tory voters don't want environmentally progressive policies, big fucking surprise. How to address that? Be more tory! Fuckhead.

I tend to think this is right. There is no going back now and the ratchet effect will be applied until the the handle snaps off. Everyone talking about "wasted opportunities" to propose left policy with a relatively high poll lead simply does not understand the goals of the labour right. To them this is a golden chance to cement Blairism in even harsher, hegemonically dominant terms so there will be no backsliding into socialism for the British state. Blair's own recent comments are the clue to what they want to do.

The one thing you can say for certain about Starmer’s Labour is however right wing you think it is now, it’s going to become a lot more right wing in the months ahead https://t.co/wo9xfT7jPB

it was shaaps that expedited the roll out of ulez in London, and that's a lot of what people are pissed about, the speed of it

https://www.onlondon.co.uk/letter-from-grant-shapps-shows-that-government-proposed-enlarging-london-congestion-charge-zone/

People hate breathable air, good that labour addresses these concerns

i'm sure every single person crying about ulez absolutely relies on their car and has no option to use public transport

tfw a prospective Labour govt is actually going to be worse than the Tories. In some ways a detestable glazed ham like Starmer with a dreadful voice is probably a good thing because whoever is in his place - it will be the same party machine policy makers and influences driving the direction and this cunt has hung parliament written all over him.

yeah since we're going to hell anyway i hope they stick with this absolute machine of unintentional comedy

i'm sure every single person crying about ulez absolutely relies on their car and has no option to use public transport

Unfortunately conspiracy theorists have got a hold of it too, I've had a "discussion" with one of them in my work.

https://news.sky.com/story/vomiting-blood-and-shaking-uncontrollably-funding-cuts-leave-addicts-left-to-fight-disease-alone-12928915

Just watching Yvette Cooper looking extremely uncomfortable about having to blame Tory austerity measures for these figures - you could tell even saying the word "austerity" stuck in her craw. Of course, thereafter, not promising to spend any more money on the problem and instead vaguely talking up linking addiction treatment to improvements in crime prevention. Vile.

Also I saw Ed Miliband the other day talking about the climate crisis having obviously been briefed to make sure he namechecked Starmer and Rachel Reeves. Somebody just shoot that guy and put him out of this misery.

lonely guy, thinking baout freedom

Talking about freedom, sat in Margaret Thatcher’s old Rover.

Earlier I spoke to @Telegraph about how important cars are for families to live their lives. It’s something anti-motorist Labour just don’t seem to get.

And it’s why I’m reviewing anti-car schemes across the country. pic.twitter.com/0OiKhFLjc3

— Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) July 30, 2023

this photo is making me laugh so much, he looks like a little boy whose parents are letting him sit in the front seat of the family car while it remains stationary in their driveway, pretending to drive

brrum brrum

miming turning the wheel round because he's been sternly told that he's on no account to actually touch any of the controls

is this a metaphor for his Prime Ministership?

I could be wrong but does Sunak seem to only have one mode - grinning like an idiot, an uber-consumercapitalist smiley everything-is-great facial expression all the time? Cameron had his serious face, May had her stern face, Johnson had his vicious scowl. Sunak is the totemic sunny face of late authoritarian capitalism all the time. I find him more botlike than May even

LOL this is so fucking pathetic and transparently desperate it makes the Labour Party seem competent.

Families, families, families
families

families

No-one else needs a fucking car

Starmer next week all like I have always loved cars more than anything, here are some pictures of me in or near cars throughout my life, under labour all motorists will be allowed three no-questions-asked vehicular homicides a day

Kieth drinking a pint of leaded petrol

this "own the tree-huggers" race to the bottom is not really a good idea

treehuggers, lightweights who can't deal with air pollution, fuck the lot of them

I'm sure they're getting all this garbage from focus groups but I just don't believe any of this is actually popular with the general public.

a good chunk of people have an unhealthy emotional attachment to cars
