bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

The road where Ed Miliband (plus Ken Loach, Benedict Cumberbatch and Glenda Jackson) lives is in Holborn & St Pancras constituency - although Islington North pretty much starts at the end of that street!

Lol Momentum is backing Rayner! Get why they don’t want to back Burgon, but Butler is right there

Don't rate Butler tbh.

it's been downhill ever since 300

xps to suzy - does this mean Ed meets Dan Hodges on his way to/from his mam’s more often than he’d like?

Spoken like someone who hasn't basked in the glory of Den of Thieves xp

"it's been downhill ever since 300"

enough about Rentoul's sex life.

Here, big Ger's from the same part of Paisley as me, I'll not hear a bad word about him.

In 2018 Butler attended a fundraiser gala organised by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), which raised $60 million for the Israel Defence Forces.

*People from Paisley are famous for their extravagance and generosity.

(*in-joke for Scottish readers)

xpost to gyac - that would depend completely on where each house is, an sure Hodges could be avoided by any reasonable person including his mum.

A pity she couldn't have avoided conceiving him, but hey you can't choose your kids

*the common touch* that has been so missing from the Labour leadership in the recent decade.

Clive Lewis has 5 nominations and deadline is today - he’s pretty much out. Thornberry has 13 - same. Burgon has 19 nominations for deputy and only needs three more, hope he doesn’t get them.

I hope he does. The more competition, the better.

Burgon can be ok but he’s really not good on tv. Or did you mean Lewis?

If you roam twitter you can find former advisers to Ed Miliband railing against the failure of Corbyn to get elected. It's like that awful thing where kids who've wet themselves mock other kids for wetting themselves.

I wish get the same amnesia pills the melts use and forget about how shit my life is!

Burgon. Whether he's good on TV is immaterial, he's not going to win, but it's important to have him and Butler in the mix when Rayner's making her case for left-wing support.

xp

Lewis has dropped out.

xp Butler has the nominations

stupid campaign Clive ran, talking about incompatible alliances and PR - total fucking eejit and an apparently an unpleasant dickhead in irl, so no tears there

xp good.

If her twitter material is indicative of the quality of her standup, no wonder Ay3sha Hazar1ka is reduced to constantly appearing on broadcast and laughing it up with the right.

it's not a laughing matter.

That’s not what my post was saying

I mean Ay3sha Hazar1ka's standup act!

That’s why she’s a failure twice over!

burgon bit the bullet and nommed himself

my main achievement today was getting blocked by Anne Applebaum for taking the piss of a very reverent comment she made about the late Sir Roger Scrotum!

Well done to grassroots Labour members who added the pressure and made this happen! Glad to see @DawnButlerBrent on the deputy leadership ballot. pic.twitter.com/npkyaJUgJU

His death is boiling so much piss, here’s hoping Kissinger and Rumsfeld follow.

Voting for Dawn now.

same tbh

that me + Jess Phillips have the same problem cos' ov our regional accents comment by Rayner yesterday has made her stock plummet to rock bottom with me, even though she deleted and apologised - fucking hell how could you?

Dawn seems good. At least it won't be a coronation.

RLB otm about abolishing any club that accepts this jerkoff.

Today I learned that Racism isn't much of a problem, specifically not for Meghan Markle.

Not sure what that capital is doing there, possibly just trying for the impossible standard of taking it more seriously than the Home Secretary.

Big dad energy (at least my dad telling me about racism on social media at Christmas)

Burgon makes the cut.

I completely missed Thornberry getting over the threshold, there were a lot of undeclared MPs even on Friday and I suppose there's no point even more of them nominating Starmer.

Some non-supporters voted so she could participate. It’s wild that RLB and Nandy ended up about even.

the make-up of the PLP is only slightly better than 2015, still so many trash MPs. And now the membership are apparently deteriorating into the Owen Smith happy melt bbq crew. I'm losing the will to give a fuck any more tbh.

Oh ffs! I still can’t believe people are trying to make Nandy happen.

Imagine willingly associating your name with this shit?

Four candidates for the #LabourLeadershipElection have already met the threshold to get on the ballot paper. @RLong_Bailey - 23 votes at last count. @RemainiacsCast members @Dorianlynskey & @pimlicat discuss whether she & the left of @UKLabour have got anything fresh to offer! pic.twitter.com/h7j3HU4wGA
