I'm sure some will want to spin it as though it was a cakewalk and a perfect storm coming together, but you've still got to win as it comprehensively as they did.

Looks like someone is about to get egg (flour and sugar) on their face.

Starmer's an appalling cunt btw but I think you know that.

These are dead good. Never heard of them before, watched the lot in one go.

Blimey! They've added about nine since I last looked and they are quality.

That's a good interview.

Helps if the incumbents vote collapses altogether of course.

Clearly all Starmer needs to do is out more tory MPs as paedophiles

Paul Calf

Well, they're not exactly careful so it might be a plan...

Fambo Number Mive

He should team up with a paedo hunting group to expose Tory MP nonces.

Fambo Number Mive

QuoteAs several Labour MPs defied leader Sir Keir Starmer's warning not to join picket lines during the rail strike, Mr Lammy said he expected the chief whip would speak to them and remind them that "a serious party of government does not join picket lines".

Contempable.

Wonder how many votes Labour will lose from trade union members disgusted with the lack of solidarity. Some on the right of Labour seem to think trade unionists will vote for the party no matter what. I predict an upturn in the TUSC and Green vote.

greencalx

I think the more interesting question might be whether more unions decide to disaffiliate because of this stance.

I happen to be making a long journey by train today, and a number of passengers have struck up conversations with the staff about the industrial action, with a generally supportive attitude.

Sebastian Cobb

The strikes are more popular with the public than Labour lol

Fambo Number Mive

Lammy has also said he does not support the strikes by BA staff.

Lammy's an awful cunt with a terrible whiney hectoring voice.  There, I've said it.

Fambo Number Mive

Good to see Abbott call Lammy out on his bullshit.

Ace of Spades is a top song though to be fair.

That gave me the fleeting thought to see what Clive had to say. First tweet on tl: https://mobile.twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1539914891456385025

Conclusion: good egg.

Funnily enough people have dug up numerous pictures of Lammy on pickets in the past. Absolute bellend.

Psybro

Are BA not private sector employees?  And if so, what's Lammy got to do with what they do?

Also, the demand is for their salary to match inflation. Currently, not even to match inflation. Hardly greedy.

king_tubby

And they got stuffed on fire/re-hire over Covid, greatly reducing their earnings. I remember when Keith said fire/re-hire was bad.

idunnosomename

it's getting the 10% back they agreed to take under reduced trade under COVID

Lammy is good on social justice issues but he's showing himself to be a complete clueless cunt with this. I mean, it's wrong obviously, but it won't endear him to anyone either.

He'll get some post-parliament lobbying for something awful, i dont know, paedophile fruit machines or something

Psybro

I didn't have it in for Lammy two years ago and that has changed entirely due to things that have come out his own mouth.

idunnosomename

well he didn't undermine Corbyn, but he also publicly apologised late last year for nominating him as comedy lefty candidate to a Zionist conference. he has principles, but if you don't like them, he has others

Sebastian Cobb

They sound less like principles and more like a sock moving in the direction of the wind tbh mate.

yeah sorry he wouldnt use that quote because Groucho Marx is toxic in the red wall

Knew you were one of them.

Lammy's 'we're all feeling the pinch' rings a bit hollow on his 80k plus that again for his media jobs.

Crispin Flintoff (aka Not PMQs) expelled from Labour by the NEC.

Link? I can't find anything recent - he was expelled in 2021. Also, he was Not the Andrew Marr Show, wasn't he?

Edit: Oh, I see, he was suspended in Dec 2021.
