Labour Party - Any other leader would be 20 points ahead

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

At this rate the Tories will be thinking about calling a General Election soon to finish the Labour party off!

A man with emphysema playing the last post on a kazoo could finish this lot off.

[Ferris]

Its impossible to embed anything other than images here otherwise you would definitely see Mike Gapes singing Milkshake here.

Edit fuck that one's premium. No way are they getting my Play credit i never use. You'll have to settle for My Humps.

I've got a certain beloved centenarian doing Eiffel 65's Blue but won't post it for fear of getting the entire board canceled.

He's very good that guy, last week I saw him singing X Gon' Give it To Ya in a Land Rover.

This is still my favourite though, probably helps it was the first one I saw:

I had a problem with captain tom in that because he cant stand up straight it always made the top of his head sing

I only installed it because I saw someone had made hello.jpg sing the Vengaboys.

[idunnosomename]

Haha



NIP of course. Google are ya winning son for the format

[lipsink]

Matt Forde has addressed the disastrous polling.

Only joking. He's tweeting about Line of Duty and his live dates with Peter Mandelson and Jess Phillips.

[idunnosomename]

He and Andrew Adonis will be attempting to climb to the top of Tony Blair's erect penis, please consider sponsoring them

[lipsink]

I think you'll find that all anti-semitism has now been sorted. Rachel Riley doesn't tweet about it anymore in Labour so it must be fine.

[Quote]

Let's quit living in the past & look towards the bright, blinding and forensic future Sir Kier Starmer is leading us into.

[lipsink]

It is quite funny seeing radio silence from the people who were calling for Corbyn's head when he was 8 points ahead. Nothing from Jess Phillips either.

[Buelligan]

Yeah, it is quite funny.  Not funny enough to stop me hoping those cunts all fall into an oubliette though.

He's under fire now because a week after the new Labour leader launches a green platform Kieth videos himself flying to meet him and lamenting all the closed shops in the airport.

[Buelligan]

It's like he's incapable of thinking about more than one thing at a time and he doesn't give a fuck about anybody else.

Good grief:

A spokesperson for Starmer commented:"Keir was on a visit to Edinburgh Airport to talk about providing crucial support for the airline industry at this difficult time.

How very green of him.

[Buelligan]

Yep, saw that, so incredibly tone deaf and oblivious to sense, being criticised for flying unnecessarily to Scotland, having just launched a green offensive in Scotland, so justify it by talking about bolstering Edinburgh airport.  It's as if they think people aren't capable of independent thought.

[Blumf]

At the same time France is thinking about banning short haul flights.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56716708

Forensic!

[Cuellar]

It's honestly jarring to read 'Keir' now. I just thought 'who's Keir??'

Forensic!

Yeah saw that. There were some earnest "but he's a busy statesman! it only takes an hour rather than 4" defences, which don't really weigh up given the faff inside an airport and the not inconsiderable travel time to an airport rather than a big hub in a rail network.

[Buelligan]

Yeah, and the whole let's save the planet (unless you've got a reason why that would be inconvenient).

[BlodwynPig]

Man of Business take Charter Plane. Man of Business Look Strong, Look Cool. Man of Business has Osborne Portable Computer.

[king_tubby]

Not linking to the Mail but they've done a piece on Starmer's mate David Evans doing a corruption. Oopsie!

From the ITV Wales leaders debate tonight:
- Increasing council tax on second homes by 200%
- An absolute cap on number second homes
- Bring second homes back under local ownership

[Zetetic]

Those are Plaid policies, of course.

(Welsh Labour did bring in discretionary Council Tax Premiums on empty and second homes of upto 100% in 2017.)

[Zetetic]

The most important bit of the debate, from the three leaders:

I think Drakeford gets away with his answer, just about. Going to be horrendous if Keith copies it at some point (or maybe he'll go for police, or the troops or Prince Andrew).

[Buelligan]

Those answers made me glad I didn't watch the debate.

[EOLAN]

Are the nurses and doctors of Wales really going to feel it is all worthwhile if part of their reward is being made go for drinks with Ian Drakeford.

This report appears to find a lot of the same stuff we have been saying, but rejects proposed solutions as well as Proportional Representation.

I'll see if I can find time to read it as and when it's available.

[Buelligan]

If they've finished writing, I've got some deckchairs need rearranging. 

Labour shouldn't need to read (or write) a report revealing a "truth" like that.  What the fuck are these marvelous people doing?  Who have they been talking to in the last half century?
