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

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

also has @Dorianlynskey ever explained why he's accepted 9 different commissions over a period of years from a magazine that regularly champions arcane theories of race science and whose star columnist Taki describes himself as an anti-semite? https://t.co/0D6PR9iT53

Nandy at least has a distinctive pitch that a faction can rally behind, it makes sense she got as many nominations as she did. I've no idea what Thornberry's USP is supposed to be.

I notice all the worst MPs nominated JP as well.

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

Much worse, Ian Murray.

Ian Murray isn’t going to happen lol

Nobody is trying to meme that guy into popularity

nice to see the erstwhile uber-melt ILXer taking the Wehrmacht holocaust denial shilling - classy fucking guy!

further proof that melts have no moral fibre

ugh the colour scheme on that lame Remainiacs cartoons is like the damned Vile Revenant of the north badge.

Genuinely one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen in British political commentary.

The other thing about the Spectator: most things of that length pay between £75-£100, so the usual argument for writing for RW rags doesn’t apply.

"This obsessionwith what one paper did in 2007"

crazy guys, but like wtf are they talking about?

I assume they mean Murdoch switching to support Labour in 1997, which you think a bunch of Blair stans paid for their political opinions might know.

You’d assume even the most thickheaded commentator might think “hmmm, weird how only the candidates Rupert Murdoch has endorsed get elected.” but instead they’re smuggling it up whenever that reason is presented with “well, a really good politician works with the obstacles they’re presented with,” or something similarly inane.

I think Brexit might just be a little higher up on the list of excuses why we lost.. than Murdoch or Iraq. *Curious* that their whole schtick is that they are remainers yet no mention of it here and it seems they are mainly driven to just to attack any potential Labour leader of the left, albeit in such a toothless idiotic manner they only embarrass themselves. DL always was a wanker - I used to love it when ilx poster Branwell kept giving it both guns to him for his insufferable patronising smug bullshit on here!

To all Labour MPs thinking about ‘lending their vote’ to candidates to get them on the ballot paper. Please don’t - unless you think they would be a good leader/deputy. Jo made that mistake and regretted it bitterly.

quite a few times now I've seen this foul creep cynically using his dead wife to either shut down opinions or try and influence Labour members - he's the worst of the worst.

Think there were around 30 seats Labour would've held with no Brexit party candidate standing, not that they're necessarily all flipping back.

"no Brexit party candidate standing"

apart from the Conservative party?

oh christ, Nandy is sounding much more content free after hearing her latest media sortie. Using that old tired baseball metaphor and not saying much at all tbf and sounding quite vacuous. And Starmer is 1/3 fav now. I feel like fucking topping myself! Come on RLB you need to wipe the floor with these idiots/melts/racists or we are all going to die (no lol).

I bet they weren't referring to the good version, because it would be an insult to put it next to garbage like Homeland.

Original house of cards is also complete horseshit

Fped!

I can understand how some of it might not have aged well to some of you young 'uns, But fuck that, it's fucking great and positively classic next to shite like line of fire or the bodyguard or whatever!

and Ian Richardson is just exquisite.

Which Tottenham is this lol https://t.co/k0joY32jrb

jude otm, how on earth do have a meeting as a potential Labour leader with a 100% white turnout in Tottenham? Is it because the undercurrent is that you are basically a right wing candidate?

another thing that doesn't concern melts is that Corbyn energised and enthused lots of black voters that a total bullshit merchant like Starmer never will.

But why would melt-centric middle class people give a shit about previously disenfranchised black voters being won over by a Labour leader, of course. You are supposed ask their permission on what the political make up of the opposition party should be, i forgot that golden rule of electibility!

Whoa @ that Tottenham picture. Harringay or Stroud Green?!
