The Politics Thread

Keir Starmer's plan to win back the Scottish vote so far
* Appoint someone who suggested the baton and tear gas approach to Scots nationalists for Shadow Foreign
* Appoint the bloke who lost those seats in the first place by throwing himself behind Better Together as Shadow Business, Energy & Industry
* Appoint someone whose local party attempted to deselect him last year as Shadow Scottish

And that's before taking into account just how many of his shadow cabinet supported Owen Smith's failed leadership challenge...

 

I pity the guy immensely.
He is (for now) required to be the 2020s counterpart of Neil Kinnock,
for the sake of the Labour Party recovering.

And worse than for Kinnock, Stamer faces the task of also purging
libtards from the party as well as the 2020s ARSes.

 

As with the "oppression olympics" , "gobsh*te privilege" also has
a hierarchy (in this case : the vitriol levels coming from the population) .

 

Self-isolating getting to you perchance?

 

…….or die!

 

Trump says "there's light at the end of the tunnel!" Can anyone see it?

 

Not if it's the Long Island Expressway

 

In other words, Trump is advising people to go towards the light

 

All State Insurance to return $600 million in premiums. Desperate measures?

 

Mexico stops making Corona beer during the epidemic. Now that's going too far!!!!

 

Johnson now in intensive care. Doesn't look good.

 

No. I wish him well.
I don't care much for his politics, but I wouldn't wish this on him.

 

My feelings exactly.

 

The last Prime Minister to die in office was Spencer Perceval, who was assassinated in 1812.
He's the only one to have been murdered.

 

In the 208 years since, three POTUSes have been assassinated

But there's no reason to suggest that Second Amendment of theirs has issues...

 

Not as precise as the polonium/Novichok incidents, but
would be a political homicide regardless.

Huawei UK (among others) might want to start getting their
office clearing plans in motion.

 

I don't see how this is remotely similar to Russia sending agents to kill people, to be honest.

 

A death caused by political immorality, intentional or otherwise,
is still a death.

But you are correct, the deaths of tens of thousands (if the world is
lucky) is not remotely similar to the deaths of mere individuals.

Time will tell now on whether Boris ends up being a seismic
geo-political figure in a most unexpected way ...

 

There's always a tweet

...wait, wrong person

 

China has announced that it's had no further coronavirus deaths in the last 24 hours.
I rate this five chins on the Jimmy Hill Scale of Probable Bullshit.
