Irn bru is a Scottish fizzy drink (it's made from girders!), it's bright orange and has enough sugar in it to give you diabetes with one sip. Australians will love it

According to wikipedia it's Labour's worst performance in a by-election since 1918: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_by-election_records#Major_parties Might actually be their worst ever result in a parliamentary election. The article on that 1997 Winchester election says it's Labour's worst ever result and this one is worse than that.

You can make an Iron Monkey by mixing it with whisky. I’d recommend a cheap blended whisky though, not a good scotch lol Helith has issued a correction as of 08:35 on Jun 18, 2021 |

My uncle made millions importing from the U.K. to Australia lol It was all tins of beans with the pound price tag on it and stuff, in the end he worked out that goats and the growing Chinese community was where the money was at and switched. Australia a country traditionally not known for it’s ease of import and exports was certainly A Choice.

I was wondering if yday was the worst ever Labour election result, and I was helpfully pointed towards one that was worse;  Maxton's a good lad and worthy of his own derail but I'd like to point out the ILP, who splintered from Labour in 31, were an explicitly marxist faction inside Labour before collapsing the government in response to Macdonald's budget cuts. This triggered the National Government of 31-45. During that time, the government ran as The National Government Party, with Labour and ILP as the opposition. So, unless anyone has found any other worse results, then this is the second worst all time result for the labour party. The only time they got their poo poo pushed in any worse than yesterday was when, after supporting a ludicrously unpopular austerity that devastated the party for 15 years, they got dumpstered by a Red Clydeside communist under the banner of the ILP. The ILP was founded by committed marxist and TU activist Keith Hardie.
