i know it's early Saturday morning but the 4 candidate's supporters that Five Live rounded up this morning for a chat are a good reminder of why it's probly best to just ignore parliamentary politics and go and commune with nature for the rest of yr life instead

i feel a little sticky, a little sad

handy to remember that any pleasure in today will be based on the discomfiture of a complacent middle class rather than much real prospect of genuine radicalization tho

also weird sensation sometimes hearing people express ideas that you're sympathetic to pitched back at you as articles of faith rather than explorations of tactics. meme leftism will do most of the newspapers' job for them

basically if the vicar on Gogglebox is behind you you need to reassess, pronto

If the vicar from gogglebox is behind me I usually start walking a little faster

This is like the time Defoe pulled a transfer request out of his sock as West Ham were relegated.

Ed should've been first on the thank you list

sly hint that Tom isn't that passionate about actual socialism or anything

can't believe Burnham is too fucked off to fake smile, surely he knew how this was going down?

@jreedmp If you don’t stand for what Jeremy stands for, we want you out anyway.

#myComrade
