This guy’s a fucking scumbag, he has no principles except that the NHS is terrible and needs to be sold off

Attending meetings while taking a shit

This is really, really bad for Starmer. But let’s be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn’t declare what they were getting!

You’re broadly supportive of less party democracy?

Welcome of course, but too fucking late. We’re already at 1.5°, a few bike lanes isn’t going to cut it.

BBC were calling it a “hotel for asylum seekers” earlier in the day

Any benefit where you have to apply for it is going to have these issues. People either don’t know about it, don’t want to be seen as scroungers, are too disabled to apply…

My wife reported a hate crime the other day and the police initially wouldn’t even record it because she wasn’t the victim. She had to make the case very strongly that actually they have to record every report.

(It was a taxi driver leaning out his window and screaming slurs at two black women crossing the road)

The pcs (civil servant) union agreed a 10% pay demand this year. Sir Keith might get lucky with something like a 5% deal this year on good faith alone, but next year will be brutal if he thinks he can keep that up.

Westminster journalists can’t see politics as anything other than a team sport. It’s not about democracy, ideas, or doing what’s right for the people of Britain. It’s just tactics and strategies to win the match.

An independent review is about to find out the the NHS should be privatised…

progress has been made in some areas, such as cataract surgery

That’s because cataract surgery is quick and easy and has few complications. The private sector hoovers them all up, and consequently their stats look amazing relative to the difficult stuff the NHS is left with.

“One truss on from his historic landslide, what is Keir Starmer’s legacy?”

Gosh, I wonder why Starmer was able to campaign more effectively than Corbyn…

Believing that their favoured MPs were about to lose their jobs, HQ staff launched an unprecedented covert operation to divert funds from pro-Corbyn candidates in winnable Tory seats to defending the seats of anti-Corbyn MPs. A code used to record spending on “generic campaign materials” was used to spend extra money on “key seats” decided by a group in Ergon House – an overspill office for HQ staff. The report finds that these seats were chosen on a factional basis: anti-Corbyn MPs were helped out.

Yeah holy shit! I hope this is a made up example. A six month sprint where you change literally everything about your UI? No wonder customers are upset!

And that was with his own party actively trying to lose. Imagine if they just gave him a chance?

The best thing is, they did worse than the exit poll so they can’t even say “we did better than expected”

I’m flipping between C4 and BBC. I don’t understand why they have so many Tories on the panel? Dories, Karting, Stewart and Zahawi? They’ve only got two labour people and Vince cable has been relegated to the children’s table?

Christ. He’s got a bold vision to be not quite as progressive as Scotland already is.

After all that he still thinks the party has a divine right to rule.

I mean what else are you meant to say? “We’ll change our policy based on the whims of one millionaire”
