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

Sadly oddschecker doesnt have specific odds on Rochdale in the general (yet?)

tho with it being so close I'd assume he has a pretty good chance of holding it, difficult to see what would change between now and a general election to precipitate a change

Parliament passing a law making it illegal to use the word "Palestine"?

Wtf??

For serious?

Oh right, I see our unelected and corrupt prime minister made a speech on threats to our democracy, nice one rish

No, but throwing foreigners with visas out of the UK if they dare protest anything here seems to be on the cards. Great news!

Has starmer agreed on that yet?

How about now?

Has anyone actually explained how these "Islamic extremists" are a threat to our democracy? Or even just told us who they are? Are there hundreds of thousands of them? Where are they based? Are they going to blow us all up? Maybe they have dirty bombs (remember those?) And so on.

Meanwhile...

At risk? LOL.

lol, is that thinktank unstuck in time and trapped in 2005. More chance of a Muslim buying a Starbucks coffee than voting Labour where I live, but this isn't a new problem for them - it's an old one that has been exasperated to breaking point by Kieth and pals.

Afaict apart from the brief Corbyn period - which also featured him not sacking Sarah Champion for this shit, so you know - Labour has treated Muslim voters with a mixture of overt contempt and embarrassment. Literally the only thing that’s previously saved them from widespread desertion is the fact that the Tories have been hammering the white supremacy button for a long time now.

Some of us have been wondering for years if they would ever learn from what happened with working class voters in Scotland but... still waiting!

The person who called her Mystic Smeg was OTM.

As you can read in my interview with @thetimes by @cazjwheeler , my husband, the MP Andrew Bridgen, left me and our young son homeless just in time for Christmas. My sister came to my rescue and put down a year’s… pic.twitter.com/KIMt3zEbXp

My favourite is the anons who are chucking in a fiver. Respect

anyone offering her a sofa to kip on?

oh her sister has. Probably not a sofa, more like I've got a spare flat in Bayswater.

£315 so far!

so, overnight this has raised to ... £335

My sister came to my rescue and put down a year’s rent on a flat so we could remain living in London.

Get intae 'um!

Ah, the "find out" stage

Given the shit that's been talked about Corbyn on all sorts of media non stop for years I'm surprised it's taken him this long to sue anyone.

he sued Ben Bradley for libel and hasn't there been a couple more? I forget

Should have sued Simon Heffer

Obviously we all hate Galloway but this is kind of hilarious.

I do find the idea of this ridiculous grifter giving sleepless nights to Labour MPs with slim majorities funny as fuck. But jfc I only just learned Chris Williamson is a deputy leader of his party (´ཀ`」

Jfc

Yes he popped up (from under a rock) during the by-election, saw him interviewed at the count.

i saw a picture but it was Chris Williamson so i didn't actually read what he was saying

Things are hotting up out there

Graffiti in a more professional typeface than the sign

THE TORIES, THE

almost seems like misdirection to single out the Tories as they key scum targets who deserve to die these days.

If you correctly include nearly all Labour MPs in the category of "tories" then it's fair

👍

That's pretty wild for Farnham

How the culprit snuck up in corduroy trousers is anyone's guess

Hunt is exactly the kind of bloke who'd have done this himself for a bit of attention

OK.

London’s Canary Wharf is getting a levelling up fund allocation of £242m for extra housing… it has been impacted by the exit of some major banks in recent months…
