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

anyway i'm psyched for Foreign Secretary Cameroon meets Special Ambassador for Genocide T Blair

it would be so hilarious if they beat Starmer in the next GE by matching some of their least shit policies and running a fake one-nation reboot campaign, that 6/1 being quoted might start looking very generous by 2024

One thing I will say in David Cameron's favour is that, in 2010, he correctly described Gaza as a "prison camp".

He should be asked if he still believes this, because we won't win peace if we erase the historical context of the current horror.

OJ openly calling Ed Balls a sneering prick (paraphrase) cos of that shit podcast he has with George Osborne & this - man’s all out of fucks

Ed Balls best be careful who he’s calling ‘intellectually second-rate’.

lmao the clip with Jones saying "so childish" to Balls as the camera is on gormless Streeting

Ed Balls is a total pos but he’s not stupid

I haven't had a tv license for years so I am mystified by the media resurrection of charisma-vacuum Ed Balls. Do the public actually like him? And if so, why?

He has powerful friends, such as Gideon.

brb reporting glumdalclitch to the authorities

my sister's a big Strictly fan and I don't think she gives a shit about him

They like Matt Hancock so anything is possible.

xxp for the tv license or not liking ed balls? cos in Der Starmer's UK I guess both might be mandatory.
It's cool though I don't watch tv. I just illegally download

after Hancock's recent media forays Farage is being paid £1.5mil to go eat a kangaroo's balls in the jungle, they all know fine well what a bit of "charm and charisma" can do with the easily-led idiots in this country, c.f the guy on Big Brother who looks like a contender for the win saying he's a Tory because "he'd like to go for martinis with Boris"

Really doubt the public likes Matt Hancock, think it's more that ppl in charge of programming think it'll get eyeballs.

Minister for Common Sense ffs burn it all down

(xp) He did rather well on "I'm A Celebrity".

Esther McVey in as "anti-woke" "commonsense tsar" ffs

oh nv already alluded to that

Hancock also did well on some Celeb SAS thing that Gareth Gates won recently

this moment truly spoke for the nation though:

I really need the Covid Inquiry to call Hancock a “weasel-faced cunt”. pic.twitter.com/KDAjxJlRbT

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/14/starmer-under-pressure-to-back-labour-amendment-on-gaza-ceasefire

Channel 4's Cathy Newman reports that 17 Labour frontbenchers expect to be sacked on Wednesday for voting in favour of a Gaza ceasefire.

so I'd presume that would be only Lammy and Reeves of the frontbench who are backing Kieth's Pentagon subservience here, that's what he calls leadership.

finally a chance for Kieth to purge the hard left firebrands from his shadow cabinet

wish I were still able to wring some small joy from the latest sagas in the tory civil war

my letter to the prime minister

https://i.imgur.com/FNOtu.jpg

just concerned that she's going to start a leadership challenge now and the desperate tories might actually pick her, it doesn't sound any more unlikely than a number of other things which have happened recently

I would really like her to do that

Another 40 days. I'm down for it

I would remind my honourable friend that this is main

not much chance of 54 letters to Brady this time, alas.

there might not be 54 of them still planning to stand next time

James Butler is as ever good on all of this, "repetition compulsion" sums things up well
https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2023/november/repetition-compulsion

She hasn't a hope in hell of being Tory leader... ever. She's completely blown whatever chance she might have had. While she's been ranting and raving and annoying 70% of the British public, Kemi Badenoch has been waiting in the wings, keeping shtum, to hoover up votes from the Tory right.

that would also be bad

(Rwanda plan deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court, by the way).

I don't want to describe it as hopeful, but it is at least funny that there's the Conservative Democratic Organisation, the New Conservatives, the Common Sense Group, the Conservative Growth Group all claiming to represent the Tory Right

🧵1/? MEGATHREAD: How landlord lobbying works.

It was Day 1 of the Renters Reform Bill Committee today in Parliament

One of the highlights was Shadow Housing Minister @mtpennycook throwing the words of one of the chief landlord lobbyists - Ben Beadle - back at him. pic.twitter.com/F6Rd2tjNt3

Rwanda policy would still be unlawful even if UK were not party to European convention on human rights, says supreme court

LOL

Get our underfunded armed forces to sort this mess out.
