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

Being a boozed up tub of lard is his only redeemable feature tbf

He is shockingly bad at the farage 'real man in the boozer' thing though.

His local is a nice pub but it’s probably a bit less nice when Keir and half a dozen Special Branch are in there.

speaking as a boozed up tub of lard i agree with Tom

absolutely devastating blow to sunak's credibility here, his credibility cannot be reclaimed after this

rare w for rishi on this one

Money well spent there, Labour Party.

I'd feel embarrassed for them if I didn't vehemently despise them so much.

oh it's a Labour Students/Young Labour type creature who is behind the mask, maybe the next Wes Streeting.

it's not often you see so many people with no mates all lined up like that

Who are these people and what do they actually believe in?

they believe that a Labour government would be a good thing, so obv not people with any kind of principles or political convictions at all.

The Chief culture writer at The Guardian has predictably low standards for language:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/15/labour-leader-arts-keir-starmer-background-culture

"He spoke about playing the flute in his childhood – of all the effete-sounding instruments! – and talked about the arts as something enriching, personal, transformational. “Everyone here will know that feeling,” he said. “Of losing yourself, and finding something new in that space art creates. These encounters with art and culture change us for ever. They certainly changed me for ever.”"

When not only reversing austerity, but showing the merest hint of ambition for the people, is a fantasy.

"Rayner, of course, had been Corbyn’s shadow education secretary; the James Joyce-loving former Labour leader actually did have an arts strategy, however much of a fantasy, with its promise to increase funding for the arts to European levels, some may consider it now."

The vibes consent machine is in full gear now, it's only gonna get more nauseating until the election

Like spraying air freshener over a dog turd

of all the effete-sounding instruments

it's a pretty eyebrow-raising thing to say for a "culture writer"

I think an arts or culture journalist should also be au fait with popular forms of expression and Chig really isn’t. I would’ve liked to see what a Miranda Sawyer take on this would be, since she’s married to a character actor, has been a Turner Prize judge, and would’ve mentioned the PPCs coming from various pop groups at the very least.

Kieth loves football grass, flutes and ethnic cleansing. One hell of a combo

I bet the little shit has never heard of raahsan roland kirk

Did you know that Hitler could paint a bit?

that was a fun moment a few weeks back when alt-fash twitter tried to make out that hitler was a brilliant artist, actually.

you'd have have to take that argument to its logical conclusion and ask why is there no Ashley Jackson retrospective at MOMA, another brilliant artist

This was: bad. We should: <message ends>

Good to see "Sir" Ed Davey getting hammered over the Post Office scandal on Sky this morning. I hope there's more of that to come for the cunt.

Isn’t he the Lib Dem leader for the GE? That’s going to go well.

Yes. I feel like we haven't heard anything at all from the Lib Dems for about 2 years - which I'm sure is deliberate on their part - but he's going to have to stick his head above the parapet this year. Load rifles.

both main parties are in such a deathly and stagnant state and are led by universally despised morons. And the LibDems are saddled with this useless arsehole and wont be able take any political advantage from this at all.. it's just like thethickofit lol

It feels like everyone who wants to be the Lib Dem leader has been at this point

on the flipside, had their 2020 election gone the other way I'd probably be quietly supporting them cos I actually quite like Layla Moran, so at least we've dodged that one

she really is in the wrong gig though

They're trailing behind Reform in the polls but as long as they can nibble away at some Tory seats in the Home Counties they're happy. Worthless shower.

Lib Dem strategy will be "shut up and take the disaffected Tory votes" I guess

It's all they've got with this numpty they've got leading them.

Moran would have made like Kennedy and pushed them substantially to the left of Labour at least, but yeah, that is the strategy under Davey, it's craven

Despite my fondness for Charlie they were never exactly substantially left under his leadership.

no, it's relative sure, they weren't exactly challenging thatcherite economic consensus, but the foreign policy was at least not labour's

they will never be so bold to have distinctly LibDem policies (skills packets lol, cancel brexit lol) again after that fit of hubris in 2019 ended up unseating their leader. In two recent by-elections the LibDem candidates lost their deposits, they don't even seem to be able to mop up disaffected tory voters at the moment.

If Starmer plays the flute during the campaign I might vote Lab

I Swear, I Really Wanted to make a “Lab” Manifesto But This Is The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time

Neolibs should not be allowed to like staunchly communist Shostakovich. Hate the way he's been coopted by them

kinda sad that nike didn't actually design a 'woke' england kit. maybe with 'reparations now' printed on the back instead of a players name. starmer unsurprisingly wants it changed back and equally unsurprisingly seems to have made not a peep about the fucking thing costing £120 for a kids size.

imagine a flute stamping on a human face forever

Woke:
Broke:

he actually did mention the price fwiw

i stand corrected
