The Politics Thread

Good to see Starmer is taking "full responsibility" for his **** show.

 

Of course, some people on Twitter will be adamant he stay and it's everyone else who is at fault

Now why does this sound familiar...?

 

Rayner has now learnt the lesson that if you play with feathers you will get your bum tickled , waiting for Jess Phillip's to be on TV in the morning (selling , yes she won't do it for nothing ) her vision for a glorious labour future

 

There's a reason the Northern Independence Party are targeting her seat

Okay, more than one reason...

 

They barely beat a convicted sex offender.

 

So you're saying they should stand in Uxbridge?

 

Lisa Nandy could be next , she will know all about back stabbing though

 

Andy Burnham got 70% of the vote in the GM mayoral vote.
He did a "Rashford" during he pandemic last year by very publicly squeezing the government into giving some extra support to the region when it went into extra restrictions.
Is he better bet for Labour than Starmer?

 

Burnham s a very intelligent understated MP, not gobby or smarmy at all.
In the present Labour incarnation he has no chance of leadership unfortunately. Once upon a time he would have been a genuine candidate and been good for the party.

 

Funny that: he opposes the Tories, and that appeals to voters

Now what could Starmer learn from that?

 

Of course the Tory headbangers have responded to Sadiq Khan beating their racebaiting dullard with grace and decorum

...oh who am I ****ing kidding, they're claiming election fraud because Guido told them it was going to go to the wire

 

Election fraud? Are they looking into Bailey actually getting far more than anyone projected, including his own party?

 

Let's check in on the Blue Wall, shall we?

 

Looks like the Tories will lose control of Oxfordshire...and they still have no seats at all in Oxford City council

 

Says it all about The Sun's approach to journalism that the biggest story of his career was the one he didn't break, even though he was there for it...

 

Oxfordshire

 

According to the Starmtroopers, the reason why Angela Rayner got the boot (even though the official line is that she wasn't sacked, she actually got a new role but they're not saying what that role is...) is because she used first class rail fares when travelling around the country to campaign on behalf of the party

Has anyone else got the sudden urge to ask if Starmer travels standard class when travelling around the country, but continue that line of questioning down the entire Shadow Cabinet?

 

Apparently Labour should have got one more and the Tories one less because in the Banbury Ruscote seat the Labour votes were allocated to the Tory and vice versa. Needs some sort of legal procedure to correct it apparently.
