The vast majority of the press in the UK is owned or controlled by the right wing. Any Labour PM is going to have the knives out for them from the moment they enter Downing Street.

See you there on Friday? 😄

And very very English.

Inciting racial hatred is a criminal offence in the UK, which is very much grounds for refusing an individual entry.

4. They're a bunch of English nationalists who believe that Wales should be run from London.

Nonsense like free state schools, pensions and the NHS, all of which you will avail yourself of, yes?

What is it with right-wing types and that stupid fucking cry/laugh emoji?

Keir Starmer faces ‘judgment day’ as Mandelson vetting debacle grows As revelations mount and accusations fly, prime minister prepares for MPs’ anger and Olly Robbins’ testimony early next week

I'm no fan of Starmer but I don't recall this kind of wall-to-wall media coverage when Boris Johnson elevated the Russian son of a KGB operative to the House of Lords.

6: Where was this level of non-stop media scrutiny when Boris Johnson elevated the son of a KGB agent into the House of Lords?

It sounds just a little bit too much like Reform, Reclaim* and Restore.

* remember them?

'Nduja want some guacamole with that?

There must be something nasty in the water in Tatton. Prior to electing McVey, the people there also decided that George Orborne and Neil Hamilton (yes, really) were the men they wanted representing their interests in Parliament.

Even by Tory standards, McVey is fucking vile.

Affordable housing, strong unions and a well funded health service?

Every civilised country in the world ought to cut all military and logistic support for Israel. If they want to pick fights they can do it on their own, not hide behind the big boy in the playground.

Tee hee...

My Mam - now 76 - still speaks fondly of Chinatown from her visits when I lived there (1997 - 2006).

I was in town last weekend and Yuet Ben has gone!!! The first Chinese restaurant in Liverpool (so probably the UK) gone! At least Terry got to enjoy his well earned retirement.

Incidentally, do you remember the late night Chinese takeaway named "Jade City" on Berry Street, just before the arch? That was the scene of many a post-club revelry.

I love Liverpool (lived there for many years) and the Scouse accent can really confuse Americans: "Fuck off, yer daft blert" usually does it.

Next to Alan Bennett, no less!

Now I'm intrigued about your accent.

America isn't a rich country. It's a poor country with a few extremely rich people.

"Should".
"Expect".

Let's face it, we aren't going to see petrol companies going to the wall after all this, are we?

Labour MPs, along with MPs from the Liberal Democrats and the SNP, have always been held to a much higher standard than their Conservative Party equivalents.
Now it seems that the same is true of Reform.

Wasn't Angels Raynor hounded out of her cabinet job for failing to pay significantly less? It will be interesting to see how the UK press treats this issue when it's a male MP of a right-wing party who's at fault.

Does anyone know how this went?

Morning, Nev. Hope you have a great day too!

Don't be so bloody stupid.
