Austerity 2.0 then and 2 solid years of it. Tories to close the gap by 11 points as soon as it goes through. Argument will be - "Rishi spent money to save the country from the pandemic, he's managing the markets now, but he's telling you that he needs to cut back on spending now. It's like your household budget you see..." And people will eat it the fuck up because a household budget is something they understand, and economics is not. I hope the 'Labour win either way crowd' are right.

Utterly amazing result, well fucking done to that team. Love them all. Love Howe. Still can't quite believe that this is what it's like to support a team that actually gives a fuck.

They'd be unelectable in that form though. They need the veneer of moderation to stand any chance whatsoever. If the far right take it, they're just done.

They lost?? I only saw the halftime scoreline Superb.

This too. As if Johnson "loves" this country. All we are to him is a fucking paycheck.

Wow. She absolutely got him for a moment there, no excuses "brown people shouldn't be leaders of traditionally white countries". That was his central point. That said, she also took the term globalist off the table which I struggle with a bit because I am a globalist, or internationalist, and I'm not Jewish I feel like that term has some value other than as a slur.

If Liverpool really are off the boil this season (they are) then you never know... Might start making some wildly optimistic predictions if we get anything out of tomorrow.

Then again...

Meaning we gain our first non-white Prime Minister. Wonder how the Tory membership will feel about that. And of course, austerity on steroids.

Staggering.

Great post - Completely agree. They do nothing except make everyone's lives harder and introduce needless suffering for the sake of them and their friends being a bit better off. I fucking loathe them with you.

Sunak supporters coming out in some force atm, not much at all for Johnson unless the ERG is still debating which way to go there.

That was superb

A great force for political good I can't even respond to that. Fucking hell.

The only concern with that is the suspension thing is so obviously in front of him, why is it not being seen by those voting for him?

I don't think there's anyone they have now that has any real intellectual standing or ability. They've gone through the bottom of the barrel and are chiselling into the earth.

Really pleased for him - he seems like such a genuine guy who isn't afraid to love and appreciate those around him, and what he has. I really hope he's part of this club for years to come tbh.

So then if Johnson gets the 100, he's going to be the only one on the ticket?

Would feel better about this if we had Joelinton and ASM in the game. Without them I'm less positive - we're still very defensively solid which suggests that they won't score many, but equally we blow hot and cold up front. Wilson playing should mean we get 1 at least, so for me it's down to whether or not we can limit Spurs to 1. 1-1 or 2-1 to them.

We really do, and I believe I say these earnestly even with my innate bias, need a general election. The people need it, politics needs it, even the Tories need it. They need to spend the next 5 years working out what the hell their party is even doing anymore, it's becoming increasingly clear that they can't do this on the fly. Their MPs need to dig deep, remember that the point of them being there is "public service" and get the fuck out of the way of the nation's governance. I've said it before but they are at this point a domestic terrorist organization powered by incompetence. Stand the fuck down, Conservative Party.

Probably no surprise to anyone but obviously another reason why Johnson would be better for Labour than Sunak.

That's the ERG voting for oblivion or control. I mean come on. I'm fascinated that it's even a debate tbh, maybe Johnson is simply too much for some people's consciences.

I have to admit, I did just catch this in the guardian which Labour should bookmark and revisit endlessly in the election campaign:

I was raised to use her term for it She's not a geordie - probably why she is occasionally tempted to vote for people like Ben Wallace tbh. She is right now telling me how virtuous it is of him to have recognised he is not able to take this role on, and to stand aside - and that his endorsement of Johnson is also understandable on the basis that Johnson supported him on defence and blah blah. He's a cunt. They're all cunts.
