I wonder if macron just sleeps in a big crib except instead of bright plastic things he just has sabers stuck on the side so he can rattle them when he's feeling cranky.

Practically every day I open Twitter in the morning to see Naga Munchetty trending, because she asked some basic questions of a Tory. Today I see this:

I wonder how much overlap there is between people who claim they can define who is and isn't Jewish and people who claim they can define who's male and who's female? I'm guessing it's pretty close to 100%.
Yeah there is a very strong overlap and the 'reasoning' is the same in both cases.

The UK negotiators didn't have anything to do with EU sweeteners before we left. I'm talking about what the EU will offer France to shut up and comply.

Well we've moved on from "strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are ongoing" at least?

Only proper workers though - student strikes don't get a mention, they aren't important anymore.

Starmer has been a disappointment. Abstaining foolishly, horribly right-wing, and not even that astute. I thought he’d at least be better at the latter. I suppose my hopes/expectations were higher than a lot of posters here. He’s been pretty poo poo though.

i didnt vote for him cause the "AUTHORITY" stuff on his handouts skeeved me out, but i did expect him to be better than this.

I know prosecutors are uniformly worthless people in the US, is that so much the case here? Outside of Keith it's not typically a role that's a launching point for a political career like in the States.

Even putting ideological differences aside, if I was in Starmer's position and on a mission to expel Corbyn from the party, I definitely think I'd have done a way better job of it than he has.

corbyn and co hosed up so spectacularly that i was willing to give keith the benefit of the doubt, and as a new MP he could have come in and seen the absolute shambles the party is in and centralise things and sort things out

but he's firmly sided with one of the super incompetent factions rather than binning all of them

Yeah, totally agree. I don’t agree with the mission* but it’s been done so ham-fistedly.

If Starmer's objective was to cause as much uproar in the party as possible without actually resolving any of the underlying causes of the uproar, he's succeeded gloriously.

He's just a wrecker sent to make sure there can't be a functioning opposition.

Yes. It is traditional for the French to make a big show of being recalcitrant in negotiations, but worryingly it is also traditional for the French to really stick it to the English any chance they get

I think it's easier to assume that he isn't a particularly good politician (he is relatively inexperienced) and he and Evans have hosed up. It's much more of a stretch to believe that he's doing this deliberately. That's veering into conspiracy theory territory.

Corbyn did gently caress up but it was solely by being too nice. If the stupid nice lovely old gently caress would’ve just purged the poo poo out of the right of the party and told the press to gently caress off he might’ve got somewhere.
