Corbyn's an Arsenal supporter so I bet this is the one thing he tried to keep from his time in leadership.

LOL what a great understanding of football fans from this man of the people

He is not driven by football ideology, he is a practical man who just likes common sense things like Arsenal.

(i also do not know anything about football, is it a rangers/celtic thing?)

It's also pretty hilarious that he's telling Spurs fans to support a rival team, all things considered. Could be thought of as anti-Semitic, even.

I mean the consistent approach is just "don't let people vote on it" which is probably going to work plenty well for sunak, it is creating problems for subsequent PMs but that is normal behaviour for them.

Equalities legislation is not devolved so Scotparl can't do anything to improve the lives of minorities if UK wide equality laws are actively making them worse.

"a constructive way forward that both respects devolution and the operation of UK Parliament legislation" - what the gently caress would that be other than "no reforms at all"? He's not been specific about what parts are the issue beyond it just like, affecting things (i mean of course the issue is "juicy culture war wedge"

Here's an idea - maybe they should investigate serving police officers accused of sexual offences as a matter of priority.

Or even suspend them until cleared.

Imagine if that was a similar proportion of teachers instead and they all kept working.

No, that is a recent fabrication. Blood is thicker than water is a very old saying that means what people think it does.

Also newer than the 'curiosity killed the cat' part (as well as being untrue, I imagine). And all the early citations of 'great minds think alike' that I've found make no mention of fools, although that has become a regular rejoinder.

Someone earlier said sir kier starmer, leader of the labour party, avoided saying the country would be better off if corbyn had won. Well turns out he did a poo poo job of it cos the daily mail are reporting him as having said the country would have been better had he won. What's the opposite of triangulation?
