"The Labour party was formed in 1900 to provide political representation for the trade union movement in Parliament." Huh.

The government is going to completely hang us out to dry. Wait till food shortages hit. These people are feckless morons.

This is a bad position and Flynn clearly isn't up for the bare minimum. Pathetic.

Green party majorly culpable for this fuck up too btw. Completely failing to pressure for proper infrastructure in favour of Tory gardening.

Man, would have been great if we'd built some extensive high speed rail about now.

Labour being rattled by the Greens doing very basic things that Labour should have totally locked down, but now just expect to happen without putting in any work is such a perfect example of why the bottom has fallen out of the party.

Muscular Unionism update: we will work with fascists, but only on a case by case basis. 🤓💼

"If you don't vote for Labour we will have a Reform government that will deploy masked goons like Trump's ICE."

I think it's disgraceful how ungrateful the electorate is. He's just an ordinary bloke doing an extraordinary job.

It's interesting how you will see a lot of Ukraine supporting accounts lose their minds over buildings being damaged by Russian drones, but don't have anything to say about Israel/US turning a girl's primary school full of children into glass, for example. I couldn't possibly speculate why.

The glue huffing seems to have started early this election cycle.

"It's the local elections, an opportunity to speak to everyday issues we all face and stay away from national personalities. Have you prepped the campaign material?" "Yes boss, I've slapped the mug of the most unpopular PM in history on all the campaign material, real insufferable looking like."

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

Party in 5th place would be the opposition. Very normal stuff, UK.

Somewhere about 13% UK population is holding on to a completely dead ideology that hasn't had an original idea since the 1980s.

Some truly deranged responses to this. It is very obvious what a certain set of people are trying to manufacture here.

Interesting. You see, you would be called a lunatic if you suggested the police in this country get up to this sort of stuff.

There's some absolutely fascinating stuff going on here. But the main take away has to be: the two dominant political UK parties of the last 100 odd years are marching to their graves. I genuinely didn't think I'd see this in my lifetime. The next three years are going to be wild.

Very funny how it went immediately quiet after this.

Going to rock up to museums with my UK and German passports and short circuit the system. End up having to pay myself to get in.

I think it's cool the Met are going to abolish themselves by giving away all their money in unlawful arrest settlements.

The media is rapidly realising they've been unable to find or manufacture any dirt on Zack to beat him over the head with, so they're desperately pivoting to building an imaginary person in their head and shouting "wooo 👻 👻" at passers by.

Colonizer? www.theguardian.com/world/2018/n...

This is a suprise to no-one And it won't stop until our planet is a blistering wasteland www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now

Stop attacking Iran. Solved it for you mate.

Get ready for this guy to sink our entire navy while "not being at war".

"We will do nothing, eat shit." 2029 election manifesto shaping up real nice like. There's multiple ways you could work to address this, doing none of them is a choice.

the thing about newsom is that he chronically sells out low salience liberal causes to the chagrin of the base for almost no political benefit. starmerism, basically. a guy who would have no friends or allies left 15 minutes into his presidency.

That sound you just heard was Labour's entire electoral strategy and also Morgan McSweeney's brain detonating.

An Executive Committee overruling the members? 🥲 They just love being the Labour Party so much, they can't let it go.

just quit YP. all that open warfare over who controls the party and not the slightest bit of desire to contest any elections without YP incumbents from the winners. infuriating.

I'm starting to understand why Sultana said it could take up to 40 years for YP to replace Labour. I had sort of factored in them participating in elections, my mistake. This party was never anything, I feel bad for people who thought it would be.

My left wing party is so pure we don't even participate in elections.

Good lord Pippa. The point is to at least try to pretend.

🇫🇷 French ICC judge Nicolas Guillou, sanctioned by Pres. Trump in Aug. because of the court’s warrant for Netanyahu, says he has been cut off from basic financial & digital services. “I discovered that almost all payment methods in France today are American,” Guillou said. “The only cards we have...

Today has yet again confirmed that the invasion of Ukraine has completely broken a considerable percentage of European brains.

The fact I need to explain this to a Lib Dem is a very neat example why any talk of Green/LD cooperation is a complete non starter suggested by delusional idiots.

What the fuck are we doing here team?

"They served us lobster and then we all went home" - no soldier ever. Get ready to die in the strait of Hormuz lads.

Greta is 100% correct, and it's idiots like this who will prevent us from stopping the ongoing catastrophe of the earth becoming unlivable to maximise shareholder value.

The British state is the undefeated champion at spending more money than you've ever heard of on Nothing.

I feel like the *almost* is kind of the key element here.

People like Anthony don't realise they're dinosaurs. It's over. Nobody is listening to them and their stupid opinions any more. We're in too serious a situation for these losers and their tinkering around the edges. They have no answers, they are dead weight and should be cut.

Counterpoint: I have an obligation to hold the door open for them on the way out and maybe also help them pack their car.

Any politician or government not charting a path to decoupling from fossil fuels is so fundamentally unserious they should be forced to roll around on a tricycle and wear a propeller hat.

Oof, imagine getting cooked like this by *John Swinney*. Embarrassing.

Where whitenessing a party completely fucking losing it 3 years before it can be consigned to dumpster of history.

tHe gReEnS dOn'T taLk aBoUt tHe enViRoNmEnt* *I'm scared shitless by the fact they are now contextualising the environment within and as part of other societal issues and problems people face every day.
