Yeah, all I've seen from them is rake-stepping. Time will tell, we won't have to wait long.

Owen Jones theory is that Morgan is close chums with Wes, it's all a scheme to replace KS with W (Keir not having been meant to win as he did, but play a Kinnockio role).
We'll see, I think it's granting them too much intelligence.

A lot of decisions about Arklow are made in Wicklow by people with zero connection or understanding about the place. A town with pop, 16K ruled by a town half the size, 25 miles away. FFS.

That whole thing was very odd. Stranger still that the media went silent on it.

OH MORGAN OH NOOOOO

SCENE OPENS ON A FUNERAL, RAIN STOPS. WE SEE A MAN FROM BEHIND. HE FOLDS HIS BLACK UMBRELLA. AN OLDER GENTLEMAN APPROACHES.

Q: MY GOD, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, BOND.

B: THAT WASN'T ME, IT WAS MY IDENTICAL TWIN, JOE.

movie continues, Bezos cashes giant paycheck, builds another rocket.

(The other "island of" quote, meh, that was OK for Ian).

I'm 56, work with computers, can install and use Linux, not a Luddite. But not great with phones. The words that make my scrote shrivel are "you can look it up on our app". Texting actually hurts, tiny buttons. Where this leaves people with disabilities too?
Shunting off human jobs to an app, gross.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE DECORUM?

Funny, innit? The same kind of people freaking out about the horror of eating insects, dreaming of happily living in a giant can eating recycled sewage.

Even worse I'm afraid.

Seeing a sitting PM lose their seat will be fun.

Hey Michael, fellah called Sassoon wrote a poem about you. Amazing thing, he wrote it YEARS before you were born!

FFS, my BIL had a hip done in his early 60s. He's still working on building sites.

Rage-baiting moral-entrepreneurs, scum of the earth.

They had this coming for a very long time. Shame it had to be a creature like Trump to get them though. Should have happened years ago. Editing Corbyn out of sequence = journalistic malpractice by the usual shower of Tory stooges.

Also:

Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

You've got to hand it to the BLP= they're working really hard to make Your Party look competent and collegial.

Another day, another rake.

Wait 10 minutes and they'll be telling us that Zach Polanski isn't serious or something.

Even with the run of bad Tory PMs, Starmer takes the cake.

Will have to last 4 months to beat Rishi Sunak's tenure, I don't think he'll make it.

In the US in the GWB era, Karl Rove was a 'political genius' who won the WH. His 'genius' meant "attack your opponent's strengths". A dem who did a lot of work with child-charity was called a pedophile.

Y'know, libel / character assassination. Some "GENIUS".

Time for you to get a real job, Morgan.

Plaid were on 2% in the latest YG poll nationwide (normally 1), would love to see the wales cross-break on that.
