Let's see how county Durham council fares over the next 4 years. 

Here’s the dear leader himself on that very issue…

sounds like a plan that’s been tried out recently elsewhere with predictably mixed results

If this type of shite is popular enough for Reform to get a national majority then I'm done with this country and anyway the country is done, full stop. 

Darren Grimes on the radio now, R5, what a little arseclart he is.

Former boxer Luke Campbell is now mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire..

The kind of tragedy here is that I think with the right policies, PR, strategies and a willingness to work together, the Lib Dems could take a lot of the middle England Tory heartland seats in a GE and Labour could defeat Reform. I think the LDs would be up for it with some concessions on voting reform (no pun intended). Not a fucking hope that Labour would do the right thing though. Not least as there’s an aversion to the left wing principles that a lot of their MPs still have. A lack of honesty of things like the EU, a weird desire to repeat the Tory mistakes of moving to the right to beat Farage and Co, trying to have their cake and eat it with Trump and a fucking disastrous PR machine which seems to alienate almost everyone. By trying to please everyone by focus grouping the fuck out of everyone you just look like you’ve got no principles and take no one with you. It’s difficult not to despise Starmer at this point. If someone like me feels like that, what chance have they got?

Blimey, I'm not quite there but you raise one hell of a lot of good points.

Well if you were in any doubt about Starmer he's got his finger right on the pulse of the nation

 

Inspiring!

That's the sort of shit Sunak would randomly tweet about out of nowhere and you'd wonder if was taking the piss.

What odds that there’s a fly tipping problem within 500m of Starmer’s “country retreat” somewhere in the Cotswolds.

Labour MPs "dismayed, disheartened and shocked" by election results. How on earth are they shocked? Are politicians even living on the same planet as the rest of us ffs.

Neither of them have been very good. In the last couple of weeks I’ve seen them both sent out to support the supreme court’s decision on trans rights and they’ve both looked entirely unconvincing. There’s no room in the cabinet for anyone with any sort of moral backbone.
