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

Have at it.

rip are boris truly u were the people's cunt i wish u hadn't been murdered by the perfidious johnny eu

‘he's a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker, the owner of no one good quality worthy your lordship's entertainment…’

yeah, but enough about Kieth.

It's been heavily briefed already that The Times will back Labour, and with Boris Johnson resigning from parliament, Tony Gallagher hasn't the slightest reason to change course. https://t.co/0mlq6swyW8

Some Tory MP and Boris brown-noser I've never heard of has just resigned "with immediate effect", so that's three by-elections to look forward to!

Strange to think that these fuckers could well limp on for another 18 months, they seem like a placeholder government already

I assume Dorries is just going down with her shit, she has several conversations with Boris yesterday (disclaimer: the source for this is almost certainly Dorries)

going down with her shit

Can't tell if this is a typo or not.

circling the drain

every time I see the two main dead-eyed freakazoids of the Labour Party with ghastly voices talking up nothing as something I only feel anger + despair at how wretched they are. I don't feel any relief that the tories are knackered at all.

Remembering how 'knackered' (in other words not really knackered at all) the Tories were just before the 1997 GE and comparing them to how knackered the Tories are now more than anything else shows how absolutely knackered Labour are now.

last year I was chatting with old bloke who is a long time on/off Labour member who was disgusted with the Kinnock purges and first cancelled their membership over clause 4, but keeps going back to them on the rationale that they are the only vehicle for change and is too much of a party history geek to ever totally give up on them. He was a bit lukewarm and critical of Corbyn but not as hostile as yer average melts were at the time and gave me a telling off for dissing Kieth at the start of his leadership. But now he's really really glum about Kieth.

if Starmer gets in it’s up to all of us to push him in the right direction, and i suspect that will have to come from outside the party. i mean he is a chickenshit with no principles so it’s not like he won’t change his mind for expediency. we just need to make the right moves expedient for him

either that or get him on mic calling some old lady a bigot

You're more likely to get some old lady on a mic calling him a bigot.

Police Scotland: A 52-year-old woman has been arrested as a suspect in connection with the investigation into the SNP's funding and finances.

Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon is a Scottish politician who served as First Minister of Scotland and Leader of the Scottish National Party from 2014 to 2023. Wikipedia
Born: 19 July 1970 (age 52 years), Ayrshire Central Hospital, Irvine.

Just sayin' like.

What!

Sorry Scots, looks like you'll be yoked to perfidious Albion for a while yet

I blame that shifty husband of hers.

LOCK HER UP

Last year I planned to take my own life. I saved up my antidepressants with a plan to overdose on them. I didn't tell anyone, my girlfriends found out and staged an intervention.
I reached out to my MP (and someone I consider a friend) @KirstySNP ahead of this debate. https://t.co/qS3GsFx9KI

Not sure where else to post this, but I am feeling a bit shat up about the attacks this morning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65887752

that, and another incredibly bleak and depressing child murder as a result of chronically under-funded and over-stretched social services, thank you Tory Britain

twitter was not a good place to try and find any accurate reports about the carnage in Nottingham this morning. I had to scroll past hundreds of grotesque idiots linking it with asylum seekers and the French attack from last week.

The only time I can find on the news reports is 4am, which strikes me as a very poor choice of time to do terrorism, so I'd be surprised if it did turn out to be a 'terror attack'. I think Neil S is more likely to be correct.

also the judge that gave a 24 month sentence to someone with 3 kids, one of them disabled, in that abortion pill case is a total dick.

I found the Nottingham incidents particularly difficult because:
a) my oldest friend died early this morning, very near to where one of the attacks occurred, and I was scared that the medical people were going to be delayed in reaching her (thankfully they weren’t).
b) someone else I know, who lives in the next street to where one of the attacks occurred, couldn’t sleep and took a night time walk down that very street, an hour before it all happened.
c) one of the streets that was sealed off was the same street where my oldest friend and I lived next door to each other, 40 years ago.

sorry to hear that Mike, that's awful.

yeah, horrible

Oh god, Mike, that's all terrible, I'm so sorry. In my friend group there was a lot of working out exactly where it all happened and who lived there and if everyone was alright yesterday, but that sounds so much more intense.

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?

Now endless videos and pics of him jogging.

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

Look it's obviously mad to make snap judgements based on years of voting patterns and public statements; much better to form a balanced and rational opinion based on what she's said in the 48 hours since a stunty political defection.

the only rational explanation could be that Wes is an even bigger piece of shit than Suella Braverman

obviously the tories have spotted an opportunity and will love outflanking labour from the left over the next parliament ("unpatriotic labour doesn't want to feed our kids")

The economically illiterate lies that you can't print money and that when public/health services were more adequately funded, we were living beyond our means - despite national debt rising faster than ever during 14 years of austerity. That's a really inspiring basis for a Labour manifesto in 2024. Theresa May might as well cross the aisle next, she's probably a moderate next to some of these cunts. I mean she did block Starmer from deporting a vulnerable autistic straight into a US federal prison, for probably decades.

it seems notable that Braverman frames her proposal to scrap the two child cap as carrying on the legacy as Frank Field, with these children being reassigned from the 'deserving poor' side of the ledger:

Abolishing the two-child limit would cost the Government £2.5bn in 2024/25. This money could be found by getting more out of work claimants off welfare and back into work, and perhaps introducing some form of means testing for pensioners.

means testing for pensioners is surely too bold a move for either the Tories or Labour to consider in the run up to a general election?

Desperate stuff from Sunak.

"vocal and aggressive fringe groups" such as the Conservative & Union Party

Nice of him to come to the SNP's aid when their poll numbers are dropping - or is this a 5D chess move to stymie Labour in Scotland by reinvigorating the independence movement?

I thought he was doing a remix of We Didn't Start the Fire tbh

"China has conducted cyber targeting of our democratically elected MPs"

during WW1 they set up "Bantams" battalions for conscripts who were shorter than 5ft 3in. Both of these diminutive military cosplay clowns look fucking stupid!

A right pair of regimental mascots.

jfc. even if there was a cholera epidemic there would still be most politicians calling for stricter regulation rather than the re-nationalisation of water

broke: renationalising water companies
woke: spending public money to scoop the shit out of the rivers
bespoke: hiking water bills so consumers can pay to scoop through shit out of the rivers and bosses can claim bumper bonuses

broke: the UK's first world country status
woke: boiling the piss of shareholders

Look at this fellas.

I will be applying for selection as Labour's candidate in Islington North. The scale of poverty in the borough, together with the acute crisis for private renters and the threats to local health services, mean Islington needs to be setting Labour's agenda in power.

Drinking shit while voting for Paul Mason MP

This must happen.

@stoya come to islington north - the shit-drinking is happening

it would be a clear signal they have given up on the job. He's been rimming Starmer since 2019 and it seems crystal clear nobody takes him seriously nor likes him, especially after his (what i think it is) 4 failures to get into elected positions on the bounce for him so far.

yeah i said on the other thread i don't see how he gets the nomination, even if the seat is unwinnable for Labour they'll want some low key shlub to lose it quietly, not this thermonuclear car crash

Love the work of our Free Press

starmer’s key offer to the public: terminal cancer

the Boots CEO is coat-tailed cunt #6 in that 80's Bullingdon Club pic, very impressive.

how is a counter terrorism securities officer in a public offering, i should learn about the law. i think usa has a no conflict of interest/no govt contracts provision but no grift is illegal these days anywhere

by which i mean it is illegal not to be grifting. abg always. be. grifting.
