they were also considerably better at sabotage, barely any of my posts make it into the guardian oped page

they're very incompetent though so who knows what the result will be, they're doing a good job at sabotaging themselves

I had a look at the old funds after reading some numbers in an article about Lawrence fox. During Peak Corbyn 2017 Labour pulled in 55m, with member subs and member donations massively outstripping all other sources.

Total donations this last quarter fell behind tories at 2.44m, and Unison are the largest source now.

It's not an election year and this doesn't include subs, but going off previous numbers it looks difficult for them to break 15m all in. That's almost three quarters of their income gone and they're calling the cops on funders who want to campaign against actual criminal dickheads.

Absolutely mad poo poo.

nah, it's practice and training and comedy for them. they know we'll do the stupidest thing we just promised not to do, but it's hardly their job to wrangle us into shape.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at our broadcast media, after covering up most of what went down with the UK, defended Boris on nearly every case, had people fawn him as having so much charisma and insight, to the point I was called a conspiracy theorist for bringing up Dominic Cummings or the Paying For Dinner scheme, poo poo their pants in horror as they decide to suddenly remove us from their Green List and make a shitload of british tourists cancel their vacation plans and going back before the COVID quarantine period.

What's that? SiC, owned by PSD, aka the people that tried to over and over again bring Thatcherism to Portugal, you're shocked that our more disgusted reply to it was a sad twitter post from the Foreign Affairs Ministry about this? Why are you surprised or shocked? You wanted this.
