The media has tried to gank Johnson several times now and anoint Kieth, but nobody's buying it and they seem to have finally given up trying

Pretty sure they're not trying to annoint Keith. They want Johnson to quit so they can replace him with a less embarrassing tory suit.

Okay only the lib papers were trying to do that part, but even they've reluctantly started going Keith... sucks?

It's always been possible kier will win, he's been making it very clear he's not a threat to the ruling class and doesn't tolerate leftism.
Having labour be compliant helps the small t tories since it allows them to take a break and wash the stink of corruption off while labour does the corruption instead, then come back when labour are the disgraced ones

The media will back him if they feel like they'll get a better deal and you shouldn't underestimate their ability to shape reality.
I think kier will be a stress test of this theory though since he's SO crap and unconvincing

Kieth has to open his mouth to speak while looking moist. It's a none starter like Gove. the media know he's a dud and more than anything they don't like losing

I wouldn't place any bets on this meaning anything even a month from now, and there's just no way I can see Starmer ever winning a GE campaign against Johnson, he's the saddest most alcoholic man we've had since Kennedy with none of the charisma or slightly good politics

Apart from his appearance (red-faced and rather bloated and exhausted-looking), is there any evidence that Keith's a secret boozer? The press normally drop coded hints when that sort of thing's going on but I've not really seen any this time.

well in the US at least the correlation is pretty strong, like every single lunatic chud has at least one black and yellow flag in the form of the no steppy snek flag and usually rather a lot more besides

anyway that person definitely doesn't seem normal

I was at a memorial party in Middle Temple in London for a qc who was a longtime friend of my mam last night. One of the guests who is about my age is a producer at GB news and he said it's as bad behind the scenes as you would expect. Said the entire team he's been on except for him has been sacked with no notice or reason given twice and he has no idea why he survived lol

which, according to some reports given the original disciplinary was sent at 0100 and with a bunch of obvious factual errors like claiming the offenses happened on facebook really gives me a lot of confidence as to how the party is being managed behind the scenes.

literally all happened the microsecond there was positive polling too, which is interesting.

legit, the british language specifically is undergoing what to my ear is a pretty serious renaissance in NA. when i was a kid only cartoon english stereotypes use phrases like "bloody", "mum" and other routine anglosphere ticks like "gday" and "no worries". i think it's the ubiquity of youtube as the primary provider for children oriented content and that kids don't notice or care if peppa pig speaks a little different.
