Mason worked in some capacity on Starmer's leadership campaign, right?

Nah Mason was pro-respecting-Brexit and thought Starmer was loving Labour.

As far as I am aware he is now fully starmerized and loving it, however. I do not know the process by which he arrived at that because the inner workings of a journalist's brain are not for human kenning.

Honestly I'm fine with him inserting himself into the Labour Party because he's a loving mad lad but is better than like 80% of the PLP. 95% on policy.

It's far more likely that he just won't get selected and how he responds to that is going to be much funnier. I would like to hope for full sicko mode where he declares himself the one true leader of the left and becomes a leninist.

Yes it is very telling that he thinks it is actually a deficiency of corbyn's character and not a product of the media.

But then being a journo I suppose that idea would make his head explode.

I wonder whether he'll treat the things he hears about Starmer's character on the doorstep in the same way

It's definitely not real if that helps, that account has 162 followers and has only made this one tweet. It is very funny though.

If you aren't at work I would recommend just not interacting with people unless you already know and like them, you aren't being paid to do it, go and roll around in a field or something. Lick some trees, look for interesting rocks at the beach, anything except spending your time thinking about the queen.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/anger-council-seagull-closes-splashpark-24109585

quote:

Members of the public have been left divided over what a council intends to do about a herring gull which has stopped it from opening its £350,000 new water attraction, after nesting in one of the features. Aberavon Aquasplash, a £350,000 inclusive aquatic play area next to Aberavon Beach, was expected to open on May 30 for the May Half Term - but UK law prohibits people from moving a gull's nest or disrupting the nesting gulls in any way.

Neath Port Talbot Council explained this week that opening the splash park to the public "would amount to disturbance under the act and so would be an unlawful act" and so it's understood the attraction cannot open until the gull's eggs hatch and the family move on.

But the council has also noted that the gull's nest is beneath a water bucket which, when full, automatically tips over. An excerpt from the council's statement says: "The nest in the Aquasplash is below a ‘tipping bucket’ feature and it has been observed that the large bucket is currently quite full with rainwater. With the design of the feature, once it gets to a certain volume, it will automatically tip and potentially wash the nest away. Given, however, that any human interference or activity around the nest could result in disturbance and subsequent abandonment of the nest, council officers are not able to intervene to prevent this from happening.

Well obviously the first thing to do is set up a livestream; second thing is to set up a betting pool if it’s apparently beyond the wit of man to secure the bucket with a grapple and a weight or something

It should be astonishing (but it isn't) that a Labour leader thinks there is any loving point at all in writing an exclusive for the loving Torygraph.
The fifteen people still reading the Torygraph are possibly the people most prone to having the piss taken out of them in UK politics, but sure, go and give them something to wipe their arse with.

Presumably, this ticks off something on a very carefully designed list of essential activities for any Labour leader. The sort of person who'd create a list like this is the sort of person for whom you'd wrap a plastic bag around your boot before you kick them down the escalators at Angel.
