Apparently being ‘woke’ is some kind of bad thing as well. We’re proper fucked.

You look at things like Little Britain and the ‘only gay in the village’ sketches. Did those sketches set back the gay right movement or did they bring them into focus for wider discussion - does him being homosexual add context to it all? David Baddiel is a prominent campaigner against...

I can’t be the only one that doesn’t really understand ‘wokeness’ can I? And if it is what I think it is then it’s not really an exclusivity of the left? Looking at today’s story about the censoring of the Fairytale of New York - I can’t see how the word in question is being used in the context...

Infection rates in 10-19, 70-79 and 80+ have risen in the last week - down in all other age groups.

This £4billion keeps coming up as an investment value for all sorts of initiatives. I reckon it’s the same £4billion.

This is exactly how I think it will go down. It’s out there in the media for a reason.

I was happy to see him as a unity candidate - I was happy with the pledges he ran and got elected. I didn’t expect him to turn his back on them so quickly. I am hugely disappointed in his support for the teaching profession during this pandemic - if he wanted ‘schools back, no ifs, no buts’ why...

I’m not disputing that the left aren’t naive in their ideals sometimes - but at least they have values and believe in something. Listening to MP’s on the right of Labour remind me of watching the Apprentice. Lots of fancy noise about ‘electability’ and ‘grown ups in charge’ - criticism of the...

He doesn’t appear to stand for anything - and you would think the one thing he would stand up against and reject as a human rights lawyer is the spycops bill. To be honest being electorally savvy would be an improvement as Corbyn was naive here - but all Starmer appears to be doing is...

IMO the ‘right’ of the party believe that the electorate exist to serve their needs - not the other way round.

I feel that Corbyn never got on the front foot and seized control of the narrative on AS. Often he said very little - which allowed others to set the conversation. He should have been assertive to the point of aggressive on this. Call out directly those with exaggerated or inaccurate claims...

Happy to be corrected on that. To be honest it would be a lot clearer for everyone if this situation was dealt with factually and not played out with ‘experts’ through a media lens. In terms of his suspension make it clear what rule he breached/broke. Explain what changed so that he was...

But it is his choice to withhold the whip that would have been automatically re-instated.

To be honest - why did they even admit him back into the party then? They did it because procedurally they have dropped a bollock. And it’s probably the same with this. I thought the whole point of the EHRC recommendations was that it was supposed to be an independent process, and not...

I’m looking forward to the North Korean vaccine claiming 147%

I see what you mean - but watching the interviewer basically hand-hold the minister like you see on the BBC for example is even more unfuriating. I remember Morgan interviewing Helen Whately for example and showing her up for the incompetent muppet she so clearly is.

He might be shouty and a bit aggressive at times, but hardly what I’d call desperate when he’s one of the few people in the news/media that tries to hold the government to account.

Being in self-isolation is possibly the worst thing that could happen for him. As he’s supposedly had it, if he contracts it again then it has a huge impact on the idea of returning to normality, would the imminent vaccine be able to counter this development? He was no doubt going to relaunch...

Boris self isolating.....
