I don’t see how Rayner loses a leadership election unless Burnham magics himself into Parliament, and I agree Milliband is then an obvious chancellor.

And that guy is currently Mayor of Greater Manchester

To be fair they elected him on the basis of a policy platform that was written in invisible ink

Not politics but still a natural born leader: I nominate Wolfgang “Wolfie” Wolf, former manager of FC Wolfsburg.

Out of interest, how did these lads react when the Just Stop Oil protesters got harsh jail sentences for disrupting traffic a few years back?

A lot can change in a day in that show!

As a white working class voter I simply want a government that makes a good faith effort to improve living conditions, help those in need and discourage cruelty. Ought not to be too much to ask, but here we are.

After 5 days the markets will be closed for 2 days. Rinse and repeat?

It’s just absolutely chaotic, relentless pandering to imagined voters when EVEN IF THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY EXIST, winning their votes comes at the cost of losing everyone left of Enoch Powell to the Greens. Brainless stuff, really.

What on Earth she is playing at has been unclear for a while. What possible benefit, either societal or electoral, does she imagine comes from any of this nonsense?

I kind of agree with you both. I recall being in Amsterdam and having “Fuck Brexit” shouted at me by a group of Dutch guys (I guess I look more obviously English than I realised) and simultaneously agreeing with them and wanting to tell them to piss off.

Can’t help but feel a little sad that the concentration camps, the sex crime allegations, the masked army harassing and killing innocent citizens, the blatant corruption and the constant obvious lies haven’t helped nudge it below 35 tbh

They could always try putting forward legislation that appeals to anyone to the left of Enoch Powell, it may turn out that they have enough MPs to pass that sort of thing

Needs more Paddington

Yeah the moment the metrics support more left wing coverage they will immediately use different metrics

Twitter discourse since Musk took over makes a lot more sense if you begin by assuming everyone involved is twelve years old

I want to hear more about how they got him up the stairs!

Em dash is such a giveaway

my god I need to wake up Friday morning to the news that Matt Goodwin is not an MP, I can't bring myself to feel strongly about who wins but I really, really need him to lose

Disagree. Voter suppression is the biggest concern, followed by outright fraud as there’s just no way this regime is going to allow itself to be legitimately voted out of power.

If there’s one thing people unanimously respect about Trump, it’s his commitment to research

Simpsons scene where Homer has his little glasses on and is reading the dictionary definition of “Legal Arguments”

I guess the reason for the flood of cash on Green at the bookies today was because it became clear that Goodwin was planning to speak to the voters

This is superb

Heh, I now see you’ve said the same thing yourself earlier. Quite why Starmer has spent so long pandering to these morons and simultaneously pissing off his party’s actual supporters is quite a head scratcher.

It’s much simpler than that: no Labour leader will ever be accepted by the right. And if Starmer or his advisors had figured that out at any point then he might have wasted less of his time in power chasing supporters he will never get and does not need.

Counterpoint: The government still posts on X
