Burnham should be trying to be more like early Bukele, really.

I can very easily see a reality where Reform win this, if they throw enough at it. Zia Yusuf MP anyone?

What I think would be a lot more feasible is some Latin American or African politics: Burnham starts his own party as a "New New Labour" or something, gets all his supporters to defect to it. Then he doesn't need to care about the NEC, and can just absorb Labour if he has the popularity he claims.

What the fuck does Andy Burnham think he's doing??? Why the hell would the NEC allow him to stand? This is obviously just going to be: NEC don't allow Burnham to stand in Makerfield, leadership contest is Rayner or Millband instead of him.

After a few weeks of wearing women's jeans and now going back to men's trousers, I'm thoroughly befuddled every time I go to put my phone away or put something in any pockets.

holy shit

This is a really funny one, is my sense of humour unique or do people hate me

Here we fucking go... Streeting's out.

Sandrone so prettyyyyyyyy

Someone tell me why I'm booking a ferry for September and the ferry booking website is transphobic

My toxic trait is spelling Ancient Greek names in a Greek way, even when they're much more commonly Latinised. Perikles, Kimon, Lakedaimon, Themistokles...

The closest thing I have to a 'special interest' in that it's a quite defined thing rather than a very large field would probably be the Carmelites and Discalced Carmelites.

Question for the class. Raise your hand if, until this moment, you've analysed Hippo Regius as Royal Horse.

Just watched Planet of the Apes (1968) for the first time. HOLY FUCK I did not expect it to be anywhere near that good, but that was one of the best films I've ever watched. Obviously there was some jankiness to the choreo and effects due to age, but the prosthetics looked amazing!

My bookmarks are a weird mix of porn, art, and politics jokes.

Watching the Senedd vote now, Christ it looks packed in there. I visited the Senedd about 1.5 years ago now, and it was really nice from above! Now, they're trying to fit 96 people in an area made for 60, and they do not fit well.

Watching Stürmer get got at last is very cathartic, but I hope his replacement is a bit friendlier to trans people (doubt) There is a *very* slight possibility of it being the MP from the town over from me, which would be fun.

Holy fucking shit. As of today, Keir Starmer has been in office for 677 days. It was foreshadowing.

If I had photoshop skills I would edit the death of stalin poster to be the death of starmer with a bunch of cabinet ministers on it

This is a real tweet???? Oh my godddddddddd You could not make this up.

Yeah he's gone. Shabana Mahmood's against him now, even. 70 MPs calling for his resignation, one of them his home secretary? Pack it up lad, party's over.

Insane pull

Personally, I think Starmer will just about survive the night. The question will be what happens tomorrow. If we see any Cabinet members or ministers resign, it's over. If it's just ministerial aides, PPSes etc, he stands a chance.

Um ackshually, over 50 Labour MPs have now called for Starmer's resignation, and there are 403 Labour MPs total. That means at least 13% of Labour MPs actually *do* want Starmer to go.

Record numbers of Green councillors ready to deliver for their communities across the country. This morning Starmer said ‘people need hope’ - we agree. They’re not going to find it in a failing Labour Party. Join the alternative today ⤵️

My hair kinda going crazy at the moment

Still need to panel line and decal and everything, but LOOK at this pose. This is sick as fuck

just unboxed RG RX78 and honestly, it's a really nice model... I'm almost scared to start building it.

What I'd love to see if the UK does end up Balkanising is for everyone involved to rejoin the EU, and then the EU to federalise properly. National borders will cease to exist within Europe, and all will be politically united.

When I run for Parliament my main policy will be to incarcerate all the young adult New Labour fans. They all piss me off so badly, why can't they be actual progressives rather than some weak liberal types?

Seeing seemingly the entire rest of the world celebrate Mother's Day when the UK had Mothering Sunday back in March is freaking me out

Make the replies look like my search history

holy FUCK Calibarn is a cool model.

Being on these two lists is more of a badge of honour than anything else.

About to get put in a wickerman and burnt alive 💀💀💀💀

oomf posting w goons on the tl

I think sometimes I make major decisions for absolutely no reason, just because I can, and then stick with it as a test of stubbornness? I've been pescatarian since the age of 10 or so because it seemed fun.

Is it my national ego talking or is the UK actually the third most influential and relevant country in the world 5th-largest economy (US, China, Germany, Japan), but also Permanent member of the UNSC (Germany and Japan aren't)

"average white British politics nerd knows 3 African politicians" factoid actualy just statistical error. average white British politics nerd knows 0 African politicians. African Marcy, who lives in cave & reads BBC Africa articles each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I've got him. I've stumped him. He's on the ropes. He doesn't know who Patrice Talon is it seems Me when my insane keeping up with African politics for no reason pays off:

what the FUCK is akinator saying

Honestly hadn't realised how similar they were until now.... Still both peak though I'm really liking them compared to my previous HG! (Sinanju)
