Labour Party Desolation v2: a beige loafer stamping on a human face forever

[Johnny Yesno]

'Legislative hooliganism', another whizz cracker from Man of the People Ed Miliband. That rejoinder is going to be echoing round pubs across the nation tonight as they whimper into their sanitized booths.

They are vandals, this lot, though. I think the left missed a trick in not comparing the huge destruction wreaked by those responsible for the 2008 economic crisis with the limited destruction caused by the rioters in 2011.

I bet it's his cock.

I don't comment much on these threads because it can get a bit aggressive, but thought I'd throw my opinion into the balance for what it's worth.

I totally get where Kelvin and others are coming from. As someone who dearly loved Corbyn and was a bit heartbroken by the way he was treated by large sections of the British public, I don't think his communication skills were above criticism.

I think he actually dealt with the gammons fine.

The main problem he always seems to have is that his non-angry stuff, his 'understanding' tone, has no fucking rhythm to it. Far too much anaphora, with weird emphasis. Often managed to come across as smarmy and insincere. I can look past it, because the words are good and there's analysis and knowledge behind it—which is rare as fuck in politicians. One would have thought he could have had some training. The angry stuff was always much better.

Anyway, this is better than nothing:

Meagre pickings, though.

[BlodwynPig]

He can call for it but he'll need Marcus Rashford to seal the deal.

plus. are you criticising someone for their speech impediment?

Got to some Jess Phillips bits in Left Out. There's a bit where it states that Cherie Blair absolutely idolised her and "love-bombed" her with emails, and another bit where she promises Lucinda Berger that if she (Berger) ever left the Labour Party then she would follow her immediately. I've never read a book more chock full of cunts. Weirdly, for something obviously intended to stir shit for Corbyn, he comes out of it pretty well. A little too timid at times maybe and seemingly not remotely arsed about Brexit, but he's a saint compared to the gallery of wankers. I hate Ian Austin more than any tory that has ever lived. He's behind so much, shit-stirring then stepping back in to the shadows when it hits the fan.

Why would a QC idolise Jess Phillips? It makes no sense.

Whenever you find yourself getting wound up by Ian Austin, this link should cheer you up. https://twitter.com/search?q=ian%20austin%20dogs&src=typed_query

One of his kids caught it at school, apparently. Karma at work, there.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Starmer: 'This government lacks incompetence *checks himself*.... Yes That's right, it lacks competence'

What an orator.

[greencalx]

Talking of competence, our CLP seems to have set up some sort of MS Team for the members. What they don't seem to have realised is that the email address for the team, which was the account that the welcome email was sent from, goes out to everyone in the Team. Cue a hundred messages saying "Unsubscribe" - "Please don't reply to all" - "Please don't reply to all to tell everyone not to reply to all" - "Please don't tell people not to reply to all to tell everyone not to reply to all because we all get spammed this way".

Would never have happened under Corbyn.

[greencalx]

Actually we've now had a message to say that this wasn't set up by the local CLP.... hmmm, data breach? How long until Momentum is blamed?

Rayner vs Johnson today at PMQs, so it's probably worth watching to see what we could have had/might have in the future.

Tom Watson shows what a principled anti-gambling campaginer he is by taking a near 6 figure sum to be an advisor at Paddy Power:

I noticed Aaron Bastani lavishing her with praise on Twitter, which was interesting.

[Paul Calf]

"Near 6 figures". So 99k at the most. Cheap, bent, grifting cunt.

[Sebastian Cobb]

More money than he made as an MP and probably fewer hours than he spent doing the antitheses of his job as deputy.

Slating Tom Watson is leftie iconoclasm. Harsher criticisms could be made about the prophet Mohammed and it feels to me like those who would be willing to cancel Tom Watson would recoil from criticism of Mohammed.

[holyzombiejesus]

The thought of Watson and Ian Austin going round to Peter Mandelson's house for a barbeque and a discussion about how to fuck up Corbyn's Labour makes me want to wish death on all involved.

Does Mandelson have a dog then?

It makes me want to cry.

The future is bleak. Politics is jam packed with establishment-bought gatekeepers.

We are unlikely to get another Corbyn... And if we did, they would fire torpedoes at the party to take them down.

[king_tubby]

Here's some receipts for the Watson thing.

I don't think it's possible to commit iconoclasm against Tom Watson.

[Buelligan]

He got some in just for Ian, it's the only thing he'll eat.

Imagine a barbecue, or any event, where Mandelson is the nicest person there.  Fucking grim, that.  Grim but nevertheless, true.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I don't recall the Prophet Mohammed appearing as a candidate for Deputy Leader in the 2015 leadership elections.
