When it comes to electing the new leader is it going to be a straight vote among the members or do you reckon there's going to be some kind of attempt to pull a bullshit "entryism guard" thing and say only people who have been members so long? Like, before the date is announced or something. For real, I don't know how possible that is, but I just know there's gonna be a push by some to swing rightward and it's really important the next leader is the one we'd want to see. It might be a good idea in any case if there's any lurkers in the thread who voted but didn't join to join, and sooner rather than later, just in case someone tries to pull some poo poo. Sorry if this comes off alarmist but I'm just really suspicious someone's gonna try something fucky and I'd hate to see people who want to vote locked out if that's even remotely possible. In any case it can't hurt for people who want to see the best replacement for Corbyn to join now, right?

https://twitter.com/scottygb/status/1205291535539027968 “If I was a female fighter jet pilot I would expect someone to say ‘don’t wear a burka’.” Stanley Johnson continued: “Of course, if I were a female muslim fighter pilot named Mustafa I wouldn’t be wearing a burka in the first place because I’m not a pathetic browbeaten harem girl. “Of course, I wouldn’t be Muslim in the first place because I’m not a credulous idiot seduced by a moon god. “Of course, I wouldn’t be female in the first place because I’m not a weak, whining softie who should be kept away from the battle lines. “In fact, I think I would just be the fighter jet.” Stanley Johnson has been pretty loving busy, actually, running his mouth off about anything and everything. He’s a whooping gammon who gets loads of media appearances, and there’s bound to be plenty of stuff we can use. Stanley is Boris without his filter. We should tie the bastards together. Stanley yells what Boris dogwhistles. Stanley is who Boris runs to when he’s scared. The doting father of a worthless overgrown schoolyard bully. Tough guy Boris can't stand up for himself. He needs his daddy and he needs his fridge.

Stanley Johnson is a loving moron. He was on this season of Celebrity Hunted. Used his personal credit card multiple times claiming "Oh they wont track this card because its a secret one". Spoilers, they were tracking it and had his location pretty much constantly. This is also the guy who failed an interview for MI5 due to a "Blonde in a mini skirt"

She was an MI5 ‘plant’, brought in to test if he would complete his mission.

There's usually a 6 month period from when you join to when you can vote on stuff in the Labour Party. They could do the registered supporter thing again I suppose, but then you don't need to be a member anyway.

David Cameron was spotted for the KGB but failed after having sexual relations with a plant. A Balkan autumn crocus I believe.

Pistol_Pete posted:I've reluctantly come to agree with this, 'cos I'd prefer to persuade people through reasoned argument. However, I've seen too many interviews where a Labour rep who showed up with a good policy and good explanations was wilfully misunderstood and talked over by the interviewer, before their Tory counterpart came out with a load of bombastic nonsense that clearly went down better with the viewers. Does the political parties not have an intelligence apparatus? They must be a left-wing equivalent of "scan Facebook for any incriminating posts by aspiring leftists". Coordinated weaponizing of the opposition's scandals is surely a thing.

Like, a right wing leader would have to gently caress a pig for it to be considered a scandal. Look at Johnson's kids, racism, etc. Nobody cares.

RE: kinder gentler politics, I think the left movements here should all take a page out of the south american leftist movements, which like to do a lot of hardcore protest and direct action (e.g. going by the thousand to a flooded area and giving the people relief, or setting up parallel education systems and food banks, etc), and join together with unions to bulk up

They are going fash, which is all about strength. Make them look weak and pathetic and you start to break them. Plenty of people already hate Boris. We need to make the gammons lose respect for him. Tie the whole cabinet and party to him (I'm sure he'll help) and take the strongman down

Someone mentioned that Liz is prolly gonna pop her clogs this parliament and I am absolutely expecting someone on twitter called @JeremyCorbyn42069 to tweet out "hahahahahaha just strangled the old bint, now to finish off her doggos!" and the media will do absolutely no fact-checking before making it a Labour scandal

Of course that won't be called entryism, that's brave souls fighting to restore the sensible centre to the Labour Party. Entryism will only emerge as a problem again if RLB and Rayner win instead; or will that just be the problem of an entrenched Corbynist agenda?

On a different note it's important to remember Boris was also a part of the pig loving club so has also definitely (allegedly) hosed a dead pig

I mean that makes him the perfect British spy, doesn't it? This is probably what the real James Bond looks and sounds like, and with a similar level of competence, brash overconfidence and obsession with his own nethers.   As a matter of fact, I've thought for a while that Andrew Marr should be the next James Bond. Daniel Craig looks kind of like an idealised version of him, I think:
