ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

Best answer to Kieth question

"I think you'd understand it if Labour were 20 points ahead."

It's funny that the professional Payne person has just seen a 'Keith' meme for the first time -- but then TBH, as Ride once sang, I don't know where it comes from either.

It always reminds me of "Hey Keith!" at the start of The Damned's cover of I Feel Alright.

Also (former?) ilxor Keith, who is a much better Keith.

lol, they have Steve Reed, of all people, doing the rounds to criticise the NEC decision.

Just woke up, have I missed anything funny?

Kieth has now declared himself a friend of all terrorists and is getting some RA tats

Excellent, up the ra

Next Islington North by-election to be completed by Labour, New Labour, Real Labour, Provisional Labour and Continuity Labour.

And won by Tories.

Powered by the wind turbines of Scotland and the North East, propelled by electric cars made in the Midlands and advanced by tech developed in Wales, my 10 point plan will drive forward a Green Industrial Revolution, creating jobs across the country. https://t.co/98ZbUFZzrT pic.twitter.com/CwXmaxM1R3

Nothing about Heathrow I notice

i feel bad when actual human beings lose their job but at the same time it's kinda nice watching airlines go to the wall

That Liam Gallagher?

Offshore wind: Producing enough offshore wind to power every home, quadrupling how much we produce to 40GW by 2030

There is already the capacity to power every home from Scotland's wind. Every Scottish home, that is.

the tories have such a good record with not frittering away Scottish resources on consumer bubbles. I honestly can't why'd there would be any cynicism towards a lot of wind!

Someone asked me to sign a petition to get JC restored to the Labour whip.

Is this a good thing?

My instinct is that JC is better off without these wankers and KS should deal with the problems of his own making.

Curious that they're expecting the country they claim is so economically weak and lacking in resources and resourcefulness it couldn't survive without handouts from Westminster, and they don't think is deserving of even the skimpiest self-governance, to light their fucking houses for them.

The figures for 2019 were 90.1% of energy in Scotland came from renewables compared to 37.9% for the UK as a whole (inc. Scotland).

I've read the full 46 page report from the National Audit Office on PPE procurement and it's a doozy.

This government has awarded over 1300 PPE contracts without any competition, for a total of £10 billion.

This is corruption to the core. pic.twitter.com/8A9gqXArIX

i love how the NAO are just like 'we have literally done the work for you'

helen lewis is just fucking awful. i realise this doesn’t contribute much bu

i love how the NAO are just like 'we have literally done the work for you'

it makes me really wish in understood how newsrooms editorial boards etc worked. like how has consent manufactured itself so homogenously that the obvious main story is just flapping about in the wind, unloved?

All journalists get pavlovian boners on hearing the words "Jermy Crobyn"

All this the week the Labour Islamophobia report has also been published eh.

The problem with the "let's move this away from Corbyn" stance is what makes you think they'll stop at Corbyn? "Let's move this away from Labour" might be a more sustainable position.

That’s correct. This has never been about Corbyn or his mistakes. Thirteen socialist MPs (or twelve and Rayner) are currently under investigation following complaints from the CST. We can expect these tactics to be used indefinitely, as they are now, to target the rest of the SCG, socialists on the NEC, prospective councillors and MPs, etc, etc,

Jenrick is currently highlighting that four of Starmer’s current shadow communities team alone have had complaints raised against them by the Campaign Against Antisemitism - and why not? Why would he stop?

The defence of the realm is the first duty of government.

We are investing an extra £16.5 billion in defence to end the era of retreat, strengthen our Armed Forces, and extend British influence as a force for good in the world 🇬🇧 https://t.co/SWRzM8Pdhu pic.twitter.com/j9EARz2DV9

the magic money tree is blooming

not sure what the "era of retreat" is, don't remember us being in any wars where we weren't the aggressor lately

next time China dismissively treats the UK like an insignificant little gadfly they can threaten to invade them lol!

jeez ...imagine the widespread media indignation if Corbyn had been systematically purging all his factional rivals.

Era of retreat? They surely can't mean all the swingeing cuts on the Armed Forces carried out by Tory governments most of the current cabinet served in.

maybe they should be thinking about some PIP reforms so some of these soldiers that come back with PTSD (no doubt from the trauma of retreating!) and get ejected onto the streets by an austerity welfare state get some help maybe? Without getting all Help Our Heroes about it, going into the army seems to be a good way of ultimately getting into the homeless street begging sector.

The soft left.

Politicised Labour process let Corbyn back in, says Anneliese Dodds https://t.co/k2z5K9AdAe

— Guardian politics (@GdnPolitics) November 19, 2020

what an absolute Dudd, it will also be part of a politicised Labour when Kieth gets rid of her because she's so crap!

process

I mean fancy that, even the leaders DID selections were part of a politicised process.

Brexit catching Covid is exactly what today needed

There's nothing the PLP could do to more effectively torpedo faith in the independence of a new review board than advertising the conclusions it will be required to make in advance.

Back to Jeff and the boys in the Political Football studio for updates on the Starmer-Corbyn derby, where it sounds like Margaret Hodge has taken the game by the scruff of the neck... pic.twitter.com/IQs60ArmD8

"Why have a minister for women, but not for men?"

Speaking in the International Men's Day debate, Conservative Ben Bradley says "can we ensure equality means just that, rather than positive discrimination at the expense of certain groups"

why don't we ever have a white history week asks Ben Bradley

the right honourable member for Mansfailed

Why isn't there a member from Womansfield

She-ffield has several members!

just heard Kieth boldly praising the government's "reboot the Empire" initiative then trying to criticize him in that stupid voice for not describing our new space navy forensically enough

oh and Crombone's lawyers are challenging his suspension

Lollolol

Holy shit, he's doing it https://t.co/sSHoVceOVD
