Labour Party Desolation v3: Abstainence Makes the Farce Grow Stronger

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Cheers to Zetetic and bgmts for the trilateral commission info!

[Sebastian Cobb]

Waving through legislation to allow the state to torture, rape and murder citizens to own the left.

The zombified Dung-droid Ben Bradshaw, the haematoma. Why do we have to share a political party with these utter ghouls, subdural pisslings from the ravaged Blairite wastelands?

[Thomas]

He's got a point about national security. To prevent harm from coming to British citizens, the security services and the Food Standards Agency need to be able to kill them.

[Cuellar]

Starmer's iota of a sensible point is that due to the conduct of undercover operatives and informants being a legal grey area at the moment which the courts have picked up on, statutory regulation of such activity is necessary.

But his argument is that regardless of the amendments failing "at least it's now codified", despite the fact that the codification removes the grey areas for the worse, not the better.

Right, so it's meant to say that 'even if it were Labour that were in power, they'd have wanted to bring forward some similar sort of regulation anyway'. It's just written badly, because it reads to me like they're saying that 'statutory regulation would have been necessary under a Labour government, but it's not needed under a Tory government, so we're abstaining' - which is gibberish, but maybe not Starmer's fault.

You don't.

I thought it was the last leader who was the reincarnation of STALIN.

NEW from @novaramedia

Keir Starmer has launched an unprecedented crackdown on dissenting Labour MPs.

In a significant change from party protocol even those who break a one line whip are now being sent written warnings > https://t.co/qRb3wT9YOO

How many mps needed for a leadership challenge? Is it totally unassailable? 

Edit: around 40 is it? 35 voted against the bill. There are others, like Sam Tarry and Cat Smith, who abstained but could be sympathetic to a leadership challenge. That has to be the priority now, he's shown his true colours even faster than anyone thought he would.

Slightly muddy analysis by Oborne on this occasion.

He wants to provoke a challenge and to completely crush any challenger, indeed it will simply add grist to the mill.

It is vitally important that we don't rush to try and topple Starmer and fall into that trap they are setting as there is no way the Labour membership will agree switch leader this quickly, and Starmer would hold all the cards in such a contest and, completrly counter to our intentions by holding such a contest, in its aftermath.

Instead we must win a majority on the NEC, win all local battles and position a few clear credible vocal critics on the backbenches, get the unions to do some real hard hitting. Starmer can't sack them.

In the meantime whinge and whinge and whinge to your local party. It doesn't matter if its witless stream of consciousness dross, just fill their mailboxes with discontent.

Powerful criticism of the government's performance on COVID-19 and disability employment by Labour's shadow minister for disabled people was significantly watered down by her own party, Disability News Service (DNS) can reveal.

Wes fucking Streeting to shadow education.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Is it true Nita Clarke has already been removed from Labour HQ?

[king_tubby]

Didn't even last a day.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Waiting for rubber stamp confirmation on that.

[BlodwynPig]

Waiting for rubber stamp confirmation on that.

Hardly a victory in that cunt cabal.

LEAVE THE LABOUR PARTY. POLITICS IS BEREFT. UK IS BEREFT.

When is your next important meeting with Her Majesty's Plague Table?

When is your next important meeting with Her Majesty's Plague Table?

Thursday. But I have on average 5 to 7 important meetings with underlings daily, often at short notice. Apparently I'm interviewing someone for a Government position next week, found out at 5pm today. No idea what is happening.

Centrists getting a bit baity about this, from the account that did the Spitting Image redubs the other week.

[Sebastian Cobb]

They're great.

Someone far more clued up and better than me pointed out "if you're not at least shitpost adjacent you're doing politics wrong" and that's very true of the centrists, I think pointing that out to them would annoy them too tbh.

[bgmnts]

With Starmer pulling ahead of Johnson in the polls, it is clearly essential for the Left to step up their attacks on Starmer. As Johnson would agree.

Lol Labour just legitimately arent even close to left wing anymore.

So, so mental.

[king_tubby]

I don't remember seeing those Starmer pulling ahead of Johnson polls.

Last I saw they were still behind. Tories lost 2 points, Lib-Dems claimed one of them and Labour got fuck all.

These neoliberals are such prudes. Curtain twitching, loafer wearing, small-eyed fragile cowards.

An interaction I had the other day.





I didn't realise I'd been blocked until I looked it out, what a fanny.

That's awesome and the Farage Garage is simply out of this world!
