It's genuinely impressive how he keeps finding new ways to undershoot my extremely low expectations of him. The combination of sheer brass neck and craven cowardice on show here is the only "staggering" thing

The Guardian readers who became The Rest is Politics enthusiasts all think that having progressive opinions about social issues and scorning the right people is absolutely enough to rest easy

They could do a better job of pretending they aren't just another party whose function is to protect the interests of capital and the status quo

He will say that proves he's taking the right approach because he's a massive fucking idiot

This is a classic "everybody hates me, so I must be doing something right" validation for our amoral moron government

Plus ca (regime) change

person who despises Trump but also thinks he is "helping" Iranians is a new one

The standard British response would be to say that the train ticket should be €100 and the beer €12

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

There is no reasonable definition of "rogue state" that does not see the US and Israel as world-leading in that category

I'm not sure who Streeting would say Labour's core voters are though

The word "transcends" clearly doesn't mean what I thought it did

OMFG

Talk about threatening us with a good time. The brain worms are so deep that he can't see what an endorsement this is

I can't remember the last time I heard a real person talk about the EU. These people are living on another planet

I often get mixed up between voting and answering a starter question on University Challenge

When Starmer's Labour are so clearly prepared to lose the next general election rather than give any ground to the soft left, you have to conclude that they are just deeply right wing

People unfairly maligned him as being wishy-washy in the past when he keeps proving himself as the most committed right wing ideologue you could find

It's divisive and sectarian when people don't like me because I'm an awful person

Keir Starmer: the Greens are extremists

The Greens: we want people who work hard to have a nice life.

It's exactly the same tone free market capitalists adopt when the market decides not to buy their products. It wasn't meant to be a free choice

Most loserish way of losing possible. Finally they excel at something

I happen to agree with Giles Coren that restaurants that serve Giles Coren should not be subject to food hygiene standards

I commute four hours a day to work in the office - Gen Z aren't lazy Lily-May Edwards travels two hours each way from north Wales to Liverpool to work in the office.

I can't even work out what this is manufacturing consent for but it's not good

Kompromat is only really valuable if it isn't already public knowledge. You couldn't even call the depth of Mandelson and Epstein's relationship an "open secret"

Honestly it would have been less embarrassing for Starmer to have said he appointed Mandelson because he was loyal to his friends
