Dunno who this lad is but it’s objectively funny to complain bitterly that people ask you “why can’t you just be a decent human being” often enough for it to be “the classic refrain”
“Why can’t you just be a decent human being” the classic refrain. If you don’t agree with our priorities, you’re a bad person.
Homelessness is downstream of other more important issues. Sort those, and the problem significantly reduces. Don’t, and you won’t solve it.
The unbelievable and blatant laundering of Starmer’s reputation continues! Handwritten notes, what a standup guy, the murdered victims of genocide are as nothing to that
All Starmer has to do is spout platitudes on his last day to receive unanimous fawning praise from across the commentariat. Literally anyone can stand in a suit and tie and speak politely. Absolutely wild that the establishment will pretend that is the same thing as decency.
Insulting, attacking and alienating your base until they were left with no choice but to leave and begin organising outside the party is why your position is untenable after less than 2 years. And still, you can’t resist smearing people who worked all their lives for Labour.
When the trees are all dead and the oceans dried up and all is wasteland and we are huddled around the dying embers of the last bin fire, I wonder if that is when we can stop asking Tony fucking Blair for his bad opinions
Exclusive: text from senior Labour source confirming what we’re hearing from multiple camps that various moves are in motion but there’s everything to play for on all sides but it’s unclear yet what remains to be seen
"Get behind Keir Starmer and get on and deliver and play your part," Labour MP Preet Gill tells #PoliticsLive
"I find that response quite tone death and patronising," Labour MP Sarah Owen responds

Understand that allies of Andy Burnham are desperately trying to convince Catherine West to abandon her leadership bid less than an hour after she launched it.
Lou Haigh is working with colleagues to find a way to get her to drop it. Burnham cannot run.
Vote Labour!
Reject the scammer to the left, the fraud to the right.
Labour Cllrs work hard to fix local problems - this isn’t a vote on Gaza (I can’t believe I’m having to say that).
By all means, MPs of all other parties continue to spend the week before polling day loudly complaining you should get to drink on the job and the plebs who complain can shut their stupid faces! Keep up this vote winning strategy! Real “in touch with the common man” stuff!!!!
Where does it end? Will Labour dutifully log on to tweet “oxygen is harmful to humans” if Hannah Spencer expresses the opposite view? Will the party have a single nose left between all their spited faces, you have to wonder
Watching folks from across the Westminster establishment twist themselves into pretzels to argue with the most banal, obvious and self evident statement because it was said by a Green MP is quite funny imo
@UKLabour It is honestly stunning to see you panic so much that the voters and members you very clearly told were not welcome in the Labour Party took you at your word. Gorton and Denton just is the beginning, and lying about the Greens won’t help you.
