    I was going to read this, but then I saw it was by the bestiality fantasist Austin.

    He’s not coming back - we all know that. And maybe he’s got influence still because the ‘new leadership’ have had nothing compelling to replace what he’s saying. He’s an independent MP now anyway... don’t see why those that don’t like him still worry about what he has to say.

    Thought that’s what you want though. No patronising or condescending of the working class there in that tweet.

    No you’re right he can’t as it’s an elected position. I think it’s stupid because of how it looks - London leader sacks Northern colleague after being thoroughly rejected by Northern voters.

    The claim is that his office took complete control of a lot of the campaign, along with the Hartlepool campaign. I guess we’ll see what comes out in the next few days.

    You may well be right - but if you’ve learnt anything about Boris and the Tories over the last 24 months it’s that perception is everything. The London metropolitan lawyer sack his female, working class deputy 2 days after delivering a shit-show in the local elections, after claiming to take...

    So since taking personal responsibility for Thursday, he plans to sack his female chancellor, has sacked his female deputy from her chair role (a working class woman too at that) - all that is left surely for him to do is the Scooby Doo reveal and pull out that Blue rosette from under his jacket.

    Maybe he’ll sack himself too then

    So much for Kier taking responsibility.... 😂

    The party should focus on the areas where it has control and look to make a difference at local level for now. What can it’s councils implement, what can these metro mayors do - and then go and share that message and tell people what you actually did. And forget the word waffle bollocks.

    Shit take of the day here.

    You are right - but what it does tell you that the agenda in these areas is cutting through.... and it’s not Starmer Tory-lite tribute.

    As I understood it. Been trying to get flights for the mother in law to visit her son as she’s got Parkinson’s and worried how much longer she’ll be able to keep going. Already had to cancel twice, but they were pretty insistent nothing from the UK and Europe, only their own travel Corridor with...

    For someone who is looking to go to Australia to see family, the current situation is they won’t let you in until at least October, so putting them on the green list is pointless.

    I’d go for it to be honest, but would forcing Starmer out right now be useful? Unless he goes completely entrenched of course.

    But Labour makes a mistake if it thinks all this is about nostalgia and looking backwards. It is also about the present. People on the ground, far from the elite and academic discussions in the capital, want the basic things done right. They want job security themselves – not zero hours...

    Hartlepool - the worst possible Lab candidate they could have picked for that seat. Staunch remainer in a 70% leave area. At the very least pick someone who is from the constituency, had no association with the PV debacle and then at least it might have been a fight.

    So what is so different in places like Manchester and Liverpool then? Are there no wokies there or is the place full of them?
