Labour love Manchester but would never vote for a Womanchester

Old girl died today lmao

*me on my first day at the gay BDSM club, holding back giggles* "wow this industry is really male-dominated" [they beat me to death with hammers]

A lot of people don’t seem to understand that “the cordon sanitaire against racism is rebuilt” means, e.g. “once again this stuff is said by the *Conservative leader*” let alone “a politician on the Labour right they dislike”.

He's right, he should say it, and you should want even politicians you dislike to say things you agree with.

Young guy at my job points at me and says she was around for the IRA times look man yes but I had very little to do with it

I think the 100 novels list type things are only ever useful as suggestions tbh

Calling the coffee machine at the hotel "the battlestar galactica" and explaining its because it's from a show about an old spaceship xP but it's actually because when it breaks down this Latin American captain becomes suicidal

me when a cloud passes in front of the sun

It is explicitly an advantage of the British system that we can boot these idiots without going through the traumatising process that is impeachment

The thing about Andy Burnham is that he's annoying and the thing about the times we live in is that that's really not our main problem anymore

I think they honestly don’t see a difference between “Keir Starmer is unpopular and we should get a leader who is popular” and peer pressure

The thing that made me turn around on Andy Burnham is realising that even Andy Burnham might not be enough to win safeish seats. This guy should not be sitting in the bench you need every body you got

I'm hearing Keir Starmer doesn't want to turn up for his regeneration scene so Andy Burnham is just going to lie on the floor in a wig

Seriously...what is wrong with Polanski? If he spent less time lying, and more time sorting his life out, he might actually be able to behave like an adult

If Burnham can't do it he's not the one if he can do it he's the one simple as

nice to see him being so inclusive but Wes, we call them women now

You: Please act normal you need these people to like you Me: Ok! People: Hi Me: Robespierre wasn't dictator of France, he was part of a collective dictatorship which had a rota system re. who was doing things that week. It's just the fact that he clung to Ancient Regime dress made him stand out.

I genuinely think ppl forget that farage is quite disliked by a wide margin he's just going against a totemic representation of every shit boss you ever had

BBC subtitles calling ailbhe rea "alvarez"....latina queen....hermana

PILOT THE UK ED, OR GORDON WILL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN

Ed milliband is a bad choice for a multitude of reasons. Him having lost before is not one of them. Just govern the fucking country. Worry about the elections later. Just govern

Pussy facing the world stance to announce my leadership bid

This is genuinely pathetic, peak loser behaviour- he deserves to lead Labour

Ed M: things are looking up for me. Now when you Google ed miliband you get me, not that Ed miliband that ate a weird bacon sandwich and lost an election Lucy powell: Ed that was you

The good thing about being prime minister with a massive fuck off majority is that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone

As an act of mayoral solidarity, perhaps Sadiq could post one of these to Andy.

My favourite phrases for when things go wrong… 1. It’s a shitshow at the fuck factory (English) 2. Now the turnips are cooked (Dutch) 3. A donkey is inside another donkey (Persian) 4. The Devil is loose in Salmonstreet (Danish) 5. A finger in the ass and screaming everywhere (Brazilian Portuguese)

WHICHEVER WAY YOU VOTE, NOTHING TRULY CHANGES

Rule of thumb about who's gonna win a Labour leadership election is just try to imagine all the contestants as geography teachers. The one that feels the most authentically teachery is usually the winner

Don't buy eds oh dear oh me I am ever so forced to do a job I'd put my relationship with my family at risk for but it is very funny that his line to the plp is "I am coming back for one last job because fuck this streeting guy"

Keir Starmer is bad at the job, to the extent he does it. He came into power with limited preparation, he hired poorly, has never bothered to manage the parliamentary party and for two years he pursued a dreadful strategy that bore its bitter and inevitable fruit last Thursday.

It's gonna be a gay race

Being given the punishment briefing (hobnobbing with celebrities, attending sports events, representing one of our real success areas on the world stage) whilst pining for my dream job (explaining to local councils that there's no money left between abolishing them).

Ed net indifferent from the market let's gooo

"Have you thought about lending some of your votes to Ange?"

Look at my firewall against fascismo dog. I am going to get deported

Very funny how the Labour right has a grand mythology about skullduggery and procedural manipulation etc but they consistently have no plan on what to do if the person in charge says no when asked to leave

New heights of journalism are being reached every single day

Wes' theory seems to be that if you wield the knife then you get seen as a traitor and can't win, but walk around waving a big knife with 'backstabbing knife' written all over it going "hey, I'm not using it YET" you'll be a contender. What??

Treating your soft left friends well through this time of crisis: you may be tempted to say something like "Ed miliband is not gonna be pm you stupid bitch" but that's not a good approach. Try instead to say something softer: Ed M might be pm after they establish a timeline for the contest

Reluctant support for the Met in the resulting lawsuit.

Nah, she literally has no chance. "Hi I'm Shabana Mahmood. I actively joke about being to the right of the Labour right" *Labour members* 😑 "I'm also a woman" *Labour members* 😡

"Coronation Streeting" was RIGHT THERE

Boris Johnson must appear to keir starmer in the mirror just for an instant, just enough that he can't tell if it really happened or not

Everyone still defending the PM needs to read that 4th para. Keir is so unwilling to ever make a political argument, prioritising winners over losers, that he will never deliver a change agenda & never win a 2nd term. That matters way more than (because it is the upstream cause of) his unpopularity.
