Wes streeting is a creepy weirdo and the guardian of course ask him about trans people who he promptly throws under the bus for their endorsement https://twitter.com/GdnPolitics/status/1487685770403930113?t=CkMhVszoSg52ojfNxVODgA&s=19

That article owns lmaoquote:It’s not only that his crab apple cheeks and short back and sides give him the look of a kindly wartime grocer, the sort who might slip you a bag of illicit sugar. quote:Streeting and I talk properly a week later, in his office at Westminster, which he shares with Peter Kyle, the shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland. There are two rooms. In one, where the friends sit next to one another at their respective desks, there is a poster of the 1997 election result – “This is what winning looks like,” Tony Blair has scrawled in magic marker next to a map of Britain that’s almost entirely red – and not one, but two, photographs of the late Tessa Jowell. quote:He remembers the letter from Cambridge landing on the doormat. He’d been waiting for the post every day. “It was like Willy Wonka and the golden ticket,” he says. “I was jumping for joy. I was crying tears of joy.” He will never, he says, apologise for the fact he went to Cambridge. Someone once suggested that he leave off the details of his university education on a leaflet. “Get lost! Why the bloody hell should I be ashamed of that? I’m one of 1% of kids on free school meals who made it.

He looks so profoundly uncomfortable with standing upright. Is it because his natural pose is "on all fours preparing to scuttle under a rock"?

so what is with the media puffing him up right now, are they assuming kier might resign after the may elections or is it just a general we’ve got absolutely nobody likeable but this guy doesn’t actively gaff every 10 minutes

It's so sudden, there's no way it's not an astroterf. he's been slated as a starmer replacement for ages but then everybody seemed to decide that Boris Must Go first so starmer got a poll boost for a bit and hung on a bit longer

Jel Shaker posted:i guess the system is working fine if 1% can climb out of abject poverty He didn’t say that; you’re misrepresenting him. He’s saying that 1% of Cambridge graduates, a much smaller fraction, have climbed out of poverty and that that is fine. E: wait hang on I think I misread it and he actually did say your thing, nvm Zulily Zoetrope has issued a correction as of 15:24 on Jan 30, 2022 |

for all the coverage of bloody sunday i don’t recall ever being explained what exactly what it was about through the media, obviously aside from the whole “soldier involved shooting “ bit. i suppose it makes sense that it’s better to just talk about the shooting rather than if it was portrayed properly as a civil rights demonstration of british citizens being shot by british soldiers

It's funny how the Labor right used to have guys like Prescott and Alan Johnson who were greasy social climbers, but at least at one point worked a regular job and were (lovely) union guys Now the best they can do is "a guy who was poor once but still went to Cambridge and was fanatically devoted to student politics"
