Has anybody ever encountered teenage boys watching a football match in secret from their father when it involved a team he supports? Asking for a friend.
@CannyJimKenny@paulmasonnews As for Labour's poll lead, there's still plenty of time for that to evaporate into Parliamentary stalemate. He just set the SLP back a mile in Scotland, right when it looked like it was credible to think it might win back some of the seats it needs to win a UK govt.
@CannyJimKenny@paulmasonnews He's blown a chance to articulate the views of the large majority of British people by finding the incredibly simple line that 'war crimes are wrong'. To act like a future PM.
God he even had Corbyn blundering into a mess to counter-point this.

@ClaraMBarker
@hazr198@olli_watkins "A divisive motion designed to cause issues" - is another way of saying that Starmer has failed his first big leadership test - he has been unable to articulate a line that his party stands for, & as a result the SNP split the PLP with a light tap of the hammer.
@CatherineWest1 It's a real parade of Labour backbench weasels tonight isn't it? I haven't bothered read your statement Catherine, I know it'll just be a cut n paste of all the others, how much you agonised, but y'know in the end chose your career.
Look at this MP who is desperate to justify her weaselling, wants to believe that she "represents her constituents" but cannot bear to enable replies. Pathetic.
Today I made my position absolutely clear. I support a ceasefire in Gaza
I did not vote for a divisive amendment by the SNP but I will continue to represent the views of my constituents on this issue and to call for a #CeasefireNOW https://t.co/ZpTm1VhI3g
@AshleyDalton_MP All these pathetic statements coming out from the wesels in the PLP. You are all utterly revolting. Whatever I do in GE2024 I already know it will have to involve doing my level best to stop Labour winning. You are not fit to govern.
@simonlightwood@UKLabour You weasel. Why not just admit you voted against the one that mattered?
You should be very wary of following Keir Starmer next time he has to make a tough call, he's blown this one badly and handed the SNP as easy win. He's incompetent, cowardly and tone deaf.
@BenPBradshaw @UKLabour I notice that in Labour's ammendment to the King's speech that Israelis are 'murdered' but Palestinians mysteriously only 'die'.
MyLabour using Orwell's 1984 as an instruction manual.
@BenPBradshaw @UKLabour I really hope you lose. You don't deserve a thing for your conduct over the Gaza disgrace. I have literally never been so disgusted by British politics as I am now.
@FloEshalomi Your constituents want an immediate ceasefire and you abstained. Please don't twist words.
#Vauxhall if you want a ceasefire vote Flo out.
@JohnRentoul@socialistcam You sound like some teenager taunting another gamer about "self-pwnage".
Starmer's inability to react to a real test of his leadership has been total. His inability to find a line on this meant the SNP were able to tap his party gently with a little hammer and split it in two.
