Woke leftie. Bit sweary. Grateful for the chance to get old.🌈
Things I like:
Dorothy and all her friends
Dogs
New stuff
Old cars
Snarky feminists
A secure Israel
A viable Palestine

She’s a fucking disgrace.

And they have it. In abundance. A day out in a fancy hat isn’t much of an accolade, and they know it.

Burnham is only untarnished to someone without a memory. He’s stood and been defeated 3 times because he simply lacks the support. He’s competent enough but he’s bland and forgettable.

Anything with Peston in it gets a big swerve from me. You sit through 5 minutes of mangled, mannered delivery and get what? A trite, superficial bit of noise that doesn’t offer anything you haven’t heard a dozen times already.

Yeah, but your Treasurer and funder isn’t someone whose fortune is built on office space, I guess?

Have to say - that was my take too. I can’t imagine a setting less likely to put someone at ease for a stressful but important interview…

This has struck a real chord with me: as a slightly-built gay man, I just had to suck it up when I got called whatever. So the notion of someone with more power and guts than I had landing one on the bastards brings me joy. I feel like you’re doing it for me too. Thank you, comeuppance men!

I can never believe that it *isnt* “Sign your name across my arse” by Terence Trent Darby…

Both are gifts that just keep on giving. Both bring me endless amusement.

I’m genuinely conflicted about this. I’m totally with the OP, and I’m totally with the post calling it out. Either way - the far right are hypocritical cunts - can we all agree on that?

The whole “proposing on public” thing is really naff. It’s supposed to be the most intimate and private moment a couple can have, not an opportunity to show off, Gavin.

Seeing old white racists get their cummuppance brings me great joy too. The days of ‘turning the other cheek’ are over, thank god.

I don’t doubt the quotes are genuine. But at any given time, any Labour leader will have at least a third of his MPs who loathe and detest him and will happily deliver whatever the journalist wants to hear - anonymously of course. This fact is never mentioned by said journalists, of course.

Why bother? They can sit on their spare bedroom, phone Diane Abbott for a quote and have a “Labour MPs in revolt” article online by lunchtime. It’ll generate more clicks and engagement than some shit about policy or delivery - and no pesky expenses! Everyone wins except…us.

What the public want investigating? That’s not at all what they’re concerned with. All they exist to do is generate engagement and therefore revenue. Conflict and drama literally pays their wages. A drawn-out leadership crisis is manna from heaven.

Ah, they’ll ring up the 70-80 MPs who have *always* loathed Starmer and their next story will write itself. As always. Clicks, innit?

Which all means - obviously - that Starmer must go. (That’s how this all works, right?)

We have a huge political commentariat these days - bigger than ever before. Hundreds of livelihoods depend on a constant stream of drama, discontent, instability and anger. And they will do whatever it takes to ensure that they get the clicks their paymasters demand…
