I'm going to hazard a guess that the preferred pronunciation in Bury St Edmunds counts a lot more in the media than whatever people say or don't say in Greater Manchester.

Can the Bury constituency Labour Party deselect this new guy? I'm guessing no because Corbyn never did much to reform things.

I'm not sure what good putting him in a big enclosure with a bunch of other fascists is going to do either, considering he will one day be someone's neighbour again.



Unless there's going to be some kind of root cause analysis of what causes this (and other extremism) then it's all just useless papering. And there won't be as long as the root causes are of advantage to capital.

Ha, touché!

Still SCG chair Landlloryd Russell-Moyle is welcoming him, and reserving judgement on his voting record, so who's today say if having Tories think your party is where they should be is good or not?

Today is good for watching both parties climb over themselves to try to make sense of their own beliefs, and then make those beliefs make sense to others.

Michael Walker has poo poo his trousers so many times this morning on Twitter that he's now decided to just wear a paper gown for the rest of the day.

Bury South youth officer is demanding a by-election. The CLP is apparently not at all happy with the imposition of an actual Tory.

I can feel the warmth from the binfire that is British Politics from here.

Currently got a fiver on Priti to be next leader of the conservative party. Hopefully someone can suggest a good refugee charity to donate the £250 to if it happens.

FWIW now would be a great time for a by-election for a defector. There's a public opposition to the government, he's jumped a sinking ship, and he gets to say "well I represented you previously but I can't stand behind Boris any more" in what should be a Labour gain seat.

If anything Labour should be pushing for one to show they can beat the Tories again.

Maybe but the Labour party is close to bankruptcy and can't afford to be fighting by-elections.

Is it going to be 8 seasons of boring political maouvering between the kingdoms of men, culminating in the big battle where Isildur cuts off Sauron's finger. Or does the license from the Tolkien estate restrict them from showing that?

Unless I am mistaken I don't think it is at all up to starmer whether or not there would be a byelection, it is entirely up to the sitting MP unless he is subject to recall for doing actual crimes.

Starmer could deny him the whip, though, I suppose. Which would be quite comedy given he's had it for all of about 2 minutes.

They all act like such hard men on WhatsApp and in their very stern public pronouncements about everything, but they are fundamentally all just ageing nerds who have never had to square up to anything in their lives and are just :flaccid: personified.
