I can pretty much guarantee that the be-rectumed scout master up there will show no such restraint if he decided to turn on you, and has already demonstrated that lack of restraint in trying to pin Boris' rapey urges on Rayner daring to have legs in front of wedded men. You don't waste your time arguing the merits of a meat-free diet with a wolf. Don't waste your time on decorum and decency with cunts.

I don't particularly have a dog in this fight and I don't think Abbot's comment is particularly consequential either way. I'm not sure why you're even replying to me as if I did, it's a bit weird, to be honest. I was just saying that someone was trying to have a conversation with you and you poo poo yourself instead of replying

I use rhetorical you way too much, probably not directed personally at you. Shitposting, I have discovered, is usually the best counter to appeals to decorum, usually exposes its ridiculousness.

I'd be willing to bet that the angriest replies to Diane Abbott's post are people that have had a lot to say about her appearance in the past.

Casual reminder here that "When they go low, we go high" was the catchphrase of the Democrats in 2016, spoken by Michelle Obama and reiterated by Hilary Clinton. Thank god that committment to raising the tone of the debate successfully persuaded the American electorate not to vote for the  Republican Candidate.

Borrovan posted:the alt right playbook did a video on how effective it was during Obama's tenure as well. If she didn't want to bring his appearance into the equation she wouldn't have attached a pic of him. The mocking is on the border of implicit/explicit imo. I don't mind it either tbh, as you say he made his bed he can eat poo poo for it on that front.

They go low we go high is a good strategy if you're an attractive and charismatic politician, with an inspiring message and energetic campaign. Someone like Barack Obama in 2008. Labour have none of these virtues amongst the leadership. So they should focus on calling Boris a lying fatty, and the rest of the tories a bunch of weird nonces. Voters will agree.

So I was watching the senedd live stream, and the minister gave the numbers to call for Ukraine visa issues, so I phoned them, and... Jesus christ the poor lady on the other end was just on the verge of tears. They have no systems available to them, they've all been turned off so the people can process visas instead of. .I don;t know, making an internal computer system show whether the checkbox has been checked or not. They could do absolutely nothing to help, and they knew it...

Why would you volunteer for a photo pulling a face like pouty alex delarge lmao. Big "mum no I want to look hard for my photo I can't smile" energy.

Boris Johnson: "the Passport Office is poo poo and if they don't get their act together I'm going to privatise them." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61233206 Which is an interesting take considering that the Passport Office is run by the government, said government currently helmed by, er, Boris Johnson. If it's not working, maybe it's because of underfunding? Or incompetent management by the head of the department that runs it, one [checks notes] Priti Patel. Huh, maybe they want to outsource it to Rwanda.

This seems like confused messaging. I think the government would love to move on from partygate and has been attempting to use every "real issue" going to do just that? https://twitter.com/ITVNewsPolitics/status/1518948829583839232?s=20

In the same way Farage convinced the country that the state of fishing was the fault of do-nothing eurocrats (while missing over 50% of the fishery committees he was supposed to attend that could have fixed it), Boris has convinced the country that the government shouldn't and cannot do anything for them, despite being at the head of it. It's weird. See also Gove telling the country everyone has had enough of experts while also telling everyone to shut up because he's an expert.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Boris has managed to pull a Farage and convince everyone that he is somehow seperate from the institution he is absolutely embedded in and in charge of. Excuse me, but Farage did not miss over 50% of meetings of the EU Fisheries Committee. He missed over 90% of them. His attendance record was three out of 42 meetings, and as I recall he didn't participate beyond his attendance in those. Nor, to be fair, is this actually something he did wrong - as a member of a Eurosceptic group that didn't want the UK to participate in such political projects it was perfectly valid for him to do so as it was the grounds on which he'd been elected. His cuntery derives solely from having the gall to then complain about us lacking a say. And even then, Farage is still better than Johnson, because Johnson was elected on the basis of taking the responsibility that he has now abdicated.

Prole posted:Oliver Eagleton's book The Starmer Project is brilliant. Highly recommended. It also confirms my long-held suspicion that Big John McDonnell is a gigantic loving coward. quote:At this point, said Murphy, ‘Jeremy was deeply uncomfortable with the Remain position he’d been pushed into’. While Starmer was the prime mover of this policy, an equally consequential figure–without whom the leader would not have flipped–was McDonnell. The shadow chancellor was a stalwart of the British Left whom Corbyn had every reason to trust. In the 1980s, as chair of finance for the Greater London Council, he had overseen creative exercises in ‘people’s planning’, funding workers’ co-ops and cultural centres to the annoyance of the Thatcher government. Along with Corbyn, he opposed the War on Terror and the British occupation of Northern Ireland. He was active in the People’s Assembly Against Austerity and worked to build links between fighting unions and the Labour Left. As shadow chancellor he developed the most transformative economic programme in the party’s history, while fostering a new generation of left intellectuals associated with think tanks such as the New Economics Foundation and the Centre for Labour and Social Studies, as well as younger economists at the Institute for Public Policy Research. He is a peerless communicator and media performer: measured, cool-headed, with an aptitude for explaining radical policy in accessible terms.

Big brain time.quote:In Tuesday’s brainstorming cabinet, Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, had suggested making MOTs on vehicles once every two years, saving about £40, while Boris Johnson backed proposals to let nursery staff look after more toddlers each to help bring down childcare costs. Other suggestions included cutting green levies on energy bills in spite of the UK’s net zero target, while Kit Malthouse, the policing minister, pushed for more tax cuts, backed by Jacob Rees-Mogg.
