Has anyone been following the revelations about Paul Mason that have just been published by the Grayzone? If even half of it's true, the man's a total lunatic lol.

Grayzone is usually nonsense so I'm trying not to believe it's true, only to have my hopes dashed.

I hope your spell checker is hosed but there are no similar- but the Cromer Crab is also great.

Potted Morecambe Bay Sea Bug on toast is the breakfast of the gods. I buy my morecambe sea bugs next to my local pub from the bloke what caught them. Then I have a pint and raise my glass opposite to the memory the Birmingham Six who were threatened with defenestration from the police station over the road.

Nah, Moreton Bay bugs are in Australia, they're a type of lobster iirc and are incredible.

Probably, but also the second Boris is gone, so is she. Nobody else would give her a ministerial post so this is 50/50 self preservation/gently caress buddy.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed:

But what are the chances that Jacob Reese-Mogg takes over as head of the Tories? Who are the other contenders?

And as a foreigner I have to ask this follow up: How in gods name is that posh oval office even remotely electable? I mean he is the kind of entitled landed gentry aristo gently caress that brought his childhood nanny on the campaign trail with him. Does he just have a particularly posh electorate? How goes his popularity in the rest of the country? Surely they can see him for the insane parody of out of touch wealth and inbreeding that he so obviously is.

Zero chance even if he hadn't declared he wasn't standing for PM. I think most senior Borisites will be too tainted to get very far in the leadership battle. Truss for some reason seems to be one. Zahawi has been plotting a leadership run for ages apparently. Javid or Sunak might try and hope that their early resignations might help.

Ps Mogg isn't posh, he's larping.

To go back to Labour chat, the only way for them to head to the left is if they take a real kicking at a GE and the true ghouls get the boot. If they win then it validates their move to the right and confirms to them that that is the correct and true way to go, and then nothing changes. My local MP is Labour with a reasonable but not huge majority, but he made it easy for me to not vote for him with his utterly pathetic replies when I sent him a question about his colleagues trying to amend the Council of Europe's report into the UK rapidly turning into a hellhole for LGBT+ people.

Thing is, I don’t think this is true. A Labour victory will validate their position, but the reverse isn’t true; a loss won’t make them reconsider their fundamental stance, only their tactics. Centre-right neoliberalism is The Only Acceptable Politics, and a massive loss won’t make them shift to the left because they consider it a totally invalid political philosophy, both as a matter of principle and as a matter of empirical fact (as proven by the Corbyn Years).

I didn't mean that Labour taking a kicking would guarantee a move back to the left, just that it's the only way it might happen, and it would need the worst of Labour MPs to lose to weaken the stranglehold on the PLP.
