That Starmer fella...

The Rayner interview from the centrists dad's podcast I posted is worth a listen, obviously heavily focused on her background but does address her opinion on SKS's flip flopping, what they offer versus the Tories and what they think they can do in the first term

will give it a watch, see if I can stomach that much Campbell and Stewart, thanks

U ok hun

Johnson and the Pro-Brexit wing of the Tories have culled all talent and experience. Whether you agree with their politics or ability of the previous crop, we're talking about a totally different league of incompetence.

This is the key point. From Johnson onwards, the only selection criterion for a cabinet position has been a perceived loyalty, be that to an individual, a policy or an ideology. At least partly as a result, we have a government that has been so palpably lacking in actual competence it has been incredible. It also means that utterly egregious violations of various codes (be they ministerial, moral, or criminal) have been consistently overlooked.

Add in generally cynical, dog-whistle, gammon policies, a bit of bad luck, and we are where we are.

It is very, very hard to believe that a not terribly gifted group of year 9s would make a worse job, much less a labour government. There are absolutely criticisms to make of Starmer and co, but from my perspective (slightly left of centre Dad) they are the only credible offering as matters stand, and a lot would have to change for that to be different, IMO.

I'm good yeah. just curious what context you think I added?

What is understood need not be explained

To be fair to Wes Streeting, he does have convictions. They just happen to be the same convictions that your bog standard cunt has.

I shouldn't be at all surprised if Streeting was in advanced talks with U.S.
healthcare providers in advancing plans for a system of social insurance.
This being, of course , the right's holy grail.

Chilled Chrimbo with shorty. Got my vote

"Not calling for a ceasefire with this one..."

But they’ve clearly photoshopped her smaller, look how huge his hand looks

Zactly.

You can also tell by the way his left* shoulder is so much higher than the right.

*if that is even his left! He's so right wing they probably had to reverse the image!

Amirit

Am genuinely a bit gutted he's not wearing a Stone Island shacket tho. Looks like there is a peek of gratuitous selvedge showing on the coin pocket to make up for it.

Where did he find a pub that empty on Christmas day? Rose and Crown was 5 deep at the bar. They have clearly photo shopped him into it.

What's the Russian flag lightbox about?

Not everything is about Money. For example a more sane relationship with the EU is possible. If the Tories try to do anything sensible the Spartan Headbangers have a melted down fit threatening to end it all.

Labour isn't like this, I believe practical things can be done to improve day to day stuff that would help.

I'm a bit thrown that it doesn't look like a pint of Peroni.

Working mans brown beer. A pint of mild would fit the post casual Norse projects vibe.

Dutch flag. It's a coded message of support for Geert Wilders.

It’s Christmas Day, but they still have time to brief their journo buddies about how cunty they want to be: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/25/labour-reportedly-considering-offshoring-asylum-seekers-claims

.

Didn’t claims used to be processed in Calais? The quotes are very vague but the current frontbench have talked about closer relationships with France as a way of dealing with the backlog so that could be all that is being discussed rather than Rwanda 2.0.

All the Ukraine claims were processed overseas I seem to remember. No idea if that is the kind of thing being proposed here though.

Guess this is a taste of things to come in the run up to the election

The shilling cunt that is Steven Barrett wading in too - he doesn’t fare well against The Secret Barrister
