Not being on Twitter for a while I’d forgotten all about this weird Johnson-obsessed cunt. Although I think one thing I can agree with her on is that she’s revolting

Cuts have meant there’s less fresh corpses to feed on

It’s desperation. She’s predicted to lose heavily. Although she’s an ERG cunt who no doubt loves Farage.

Probably more responsible for the Leave vote winning than anyone else tbh* *except CT

Also, if you are going to go down the jingoistic, flag-shagging, fake national pride, poppy nonce route (as the Tory party has done with particular vigour in recent years) then you’ve created an environment in which a fuck up like this is magnified even more. Agree with Renton about Labour not politicising it too. It’s bad crack anyway but they don’t need to either.

Fuck them. They lie about everything so getting something they said being blown out of all proportion is absolutely fine by me.

Tbh I think anyone who is still a big Corbyn fan is an unmitigated fucking moron.

You want to stick to Talksport 👍🏻

Yeah, that’s a good point. I suppose it helps Labour as a narrative as there is clearly a lot to put right which won’t be easy to fix straight away

The IfG directly compared the manifesto to the Truss pledges as per the interviewer there

‘Balance’

The manifesto isn’t published until tomorrow so it’s speculation. Which podcast was it btw? If you’re really interested in some decent analysis the Institute for Government will go through it bit by bit and tell you how they feel it equates to taxation, any increases in investment / public spending etc. They did a 45 min live stream on the Tory one yesterday, followed by that article I posted earlier in the chat. In the early days at least, Labour may be quite hamstrung by the state of the finances. But to say that’s exactly the same as the Tories, and the electorate don’t have a clear choice in philosophy here is CorByN wON thE arGUmenT levels of assessment.

It’s quite amazing just how bad at all this he is. Just when you think he can’t come across worse, he surprises you

@Christmas Tree

Peter Withe in attendance?

My uncle has a dvd. But it was one my cousin did from footage on vhs I think as a birthday present for his dad. I’ve watched it before but I think it was just highlights of both legs

@Dr Gloom making headlines again I see

Merde

forgotten his roots, that lad

You didn’t need that last sentence

Spads aren’t civil servants. As a minister you wouldn’t want them to be because they’re basically consultants who you don’t want to be impartial. Long story, short: The letter proves the exact opposite of what he says / thinks it does.

I was talking to a mag at work and I pointed out I’d been talking to AC Milan fans and after they told me they hate the mags anarl they said they had to lewk up Newcastle on a map. But they knew exactly where it was once they realised it was about 10 miles from Sunderland

It’s what they voted for, they need to own it. Because they can’t possibly admit they might’ve been wrong

products of their upbringing and education tbh. Massive fucking snobs who’ve got no interest in poor people of any creed
