Oh, and Starmer needs to get in the fucking bin re not standing up for trans rights. He's a cunt anyway but his comments today are far more shameful than anything Corbyn (was) ever (claimed to have) pulled.

He also supports the draconian anti-protest laws, and has even stated he'd like to see longer sentences for those who glue themselves to roads etc. Labour are also fully in favour of austerity, too.

He's a really nasty piece of work, and I won't be voting for them in the next election.

Labour will get a big majority in the next election and it will give them the freedom to cut benefits as they attempt to improve productivity through raising participation in the workforce.

I have not seen any mention of that yet in most of the leftish press I have skimmed. I do note, however, that the Tranny MailPink News have spun the story very positively in Starmer's favour.

Morduant showed more integrity in the last few weeks than Johnson or Sunak have managed in their life.

A reminder that Sunak wasted billions on phoney COVID payments, opposed lockdowns and was fined for being at parties while everyone else obeyed the rules. And he is the reason we have double-digit inflation, high mortgage rates and a huge hole in the public finances (even before Truss and Kwarteng made their mess, Sunak had failed to refinance a large package of Government debt at lower rates, costing the taxpayer billions more).

[tufty]

Mordaunt managed to briefly look good compared to Truss, is all. She's a member of the ERG, along with Truss, Coffey, Cleverly, Braverman and the unlovely Mr Rees-Mogg. Lord knows I despise Sunak, who is very much the rich man's candidate, but Mordaunt is far worse, and represents a more insidious and radical conservatism than Sunak does.

Also, with no chance of a real improvement in politics looming, you've got to take your pleasures where you can. It must really stick in the craw of the gammons to have a brown chap running the party.

Indeed.

I said that Truss basically won because Tories couldn't bring themselves to vote for a "fuzzy-wuzzy from Bongo Bongo Land" to lead the country. So I'm rather ecstatic now that he gets to piss them off royally, and bask in the glory of being the "first Asian PM / first Hindu PM". We must celebrate this more, just to annoy the fuck out of the racists.

And yet which Party has had 3 women leaders and one POC as leader. Its not the Labour party.

And yet which Party has had 3 women leaders and one POC as leader. Its not the Labour party.

Labour has almost twice the count of minority MPs (41 vs 22), with a party that's significantly smaller than Conservatives.

One could argue, with the number of prominent PoCs we've seen in cabinet, that the Tory party puts a bit of extra focus on making sure minorities are put front and centre for all to see. Almost like they're signalling some kind of virtue, or that they're positively discriminating

Edit: I should point out that I'm not complaining about a brown person being up front. He's there because he's a perfectly capable Tory cunt.

One has to love Larry.
Not only the lady in red is taking a pic of him instead of the new PM but also the policeman is looking at him giving
the impression is there to provide security for Larry.

If there is one thing I like the UK is the sense of humour.

And somehow Braverman is back - Meaning Sunak also shares the "dream" of shifting folks to Rwanda. Absolute cunts

[tufty]

Oh good lord. Sacking her was about the only decent thing that Truss managed. How in the name of all that's holy is she back in, less than a week after being sacked for breaking ministerial code?

"Funny" as nobody seems to think "What if one day I could be the one escaping in another country looking for help ?" ...

[merman]

Braverman not only sent official Government documents to someone who shouldn’t have seen them, it’s now reported she sent documents on cybersecurity. With the former Tory chairman questioning the appointment, the head of the civil service is “livid” and another senior Tory MP is calling for a full inquiry.

Sunak’s turn is off to a bad start, even if he did something good by reimposing the fracking moratorium. But pledging to govern on the basis of the 2019 manifesto is a bad step (even if he’s not promising to do everything in it - the triple-lock on pensions definitely seems in the crosshairs).

Delaying the financial statement is both good and bad. It’s going to be an Autumn Statement full of Austerity 2.0.

I reckon he doesn't share that dream but, he knows full well in order to have the votes of the house he needs to pander to the right wing of the party....and she is the unofficial leader of the right of the party.
He's prepared to be a cunt to garner the support of cunts.
