And Kieth has come out strongly against cannabis deregulation. Cunt, wonder if he drinks alcohol at all with all its attendant risks.

With a complexion like Kieth has, he's either a brandy &/or port man, has rosacea, or he's got quite appalling untreated hypertension.

I don't think he's interesting enough to be a brandy man

I dunno if that's true tbh. Internal party selections are not of interest to most of the electorate. Plenty of shit candidates parachuted into Liverpool constituencies in the past - cf. Luciana Berger, Frank Field. Sure there's more but those two spring to mind.

I doubt the conditions exist right now for an independent socialist to run and win in Liverpool.

Field is Birkenhead, not Liverpool. Neither Liverpudlians or the woollybacks would thank you for confusing the two.

Dear Arthur

I hope that you are keeping safe and well during this challenging time for our country.

Over the last year I have had the privilege to speak to many of the local heroes that have kept our country running throughout the COVID pandemic. The doctors and nurses on the frontline, the care workers caring for their residents and the neighbours checking on friends and family and delivering food parcels to those vulnerable or shielding. People across the country have stepped forward and played their part, however small, to tackle COVID and look after one another.

Many of these local heroes are Labour Party members who I could not be prouder of. Our movement is both stronger and richer because of these everyday heroes who serve their local areas and they have inspired me every day through the dark months we have been through. They have also reminded me just how important strong communities are, and this May crucial elections will take place in regions, cities, and towns across the UK, including in Cornwall.

These elections offer our party the chance to campaign on our message of real hope and optimism for the future and our determination to rebuild our country and our communities stronger than before.

We want local candidates standing for Labour in every ward, and I hope that you will consider putting your name forward to stand in Cornwall.

Standing to represent your party is a great act of service and it offers everyone in your community the opportunity to vote for the Labour values we share.

Our party achieves transformational change because of our members who go above and beyond for our movement and I hope you will consider stepping forwards. Time is running out to stand so if you are interested and would like further information, please contact ...

Thank you for all you do for the Labour Party and I look forward to joining you on the campaign trail!

Yours sincerely,

Keir

Haven't seen any new Montelbano for ages

Objection. These creatures have never been proven to actually exist.

Haven't seen any new Montelbano for ages

if you look at the inspector montalbano wiki there's a 15th series this year. but not if you look at List of Inspector Montalbano episodes - Wikipedia. they're all available via the bbc iplayer (except the possible fifteenth series)

 

[two sheds]

... goes off to check

Eta: seen all of them I think - at least the 36 episodes on iPlayer but good to watch them again I think Ironically it and Machair are the only things I actually watch without doing other stuff because of the subtitles.

 

[hitmouse]

Oh dear.

Can we get "any other leader would be 20 points ahead by now" added as a smilie to save people the trouble of typing it out every time?

Depends what you think his job is. If it's 'tory plant' then he could hardly have done better.

Sounds like there's a book on Starmer coming by Oliver Eagleton, full of anecdotes about him being forensic:

Keir Starmer is a Long-Time Servant of the British Security State | Novara Media

Labour under Keir Starmer has taken a troubling flag-waving turn. But while his patriot act may in part be driven by political expediency, Starmer’s loyalty to the British security state has historically been strikingly consistent, writes Oliver Eagleton.

That article is worth a read. I didn't think I could dislike the man any more than I already do..

London region hate the way Streatham CLP not only went OMOV, but that doing so sent Chuka scurrying, as he knew he might be slated for de-selection. They're also unhappy that the selection for a new MP went MASSIVELY in Bell's favour, with Marcia Cameron & Jennifer Brathwaite - both loyal Lambeth stooges cllrs - barely got a 20th of the number of votes Bell did, between them. Perhaps they should have borne in mind that SCLP members knew them by both deed & reputation.

Of course, who better to replace corrupt former mayor Joe Anderson, than the previously unknown, newly elected councillor 'Jo Anderson'?

Revisionist former Labour Minister Alan Johnson:

The Labour party had spent most of the previous two decades in an internal struggle to free ourselves of the accusation that we had no interest in how wealth was generated, only how it was distributed. As George W Bush is believed to have said about the French, we had no word for entrepreneur.

Imagine being in a party called 'Labour' and still thinking wealth is generated by 'entrepreneurs'. Cunts.

With enterprises struggling, the Conservatives have lost their trust. Labour can now be the party of business, says the former home secretary Alan Johnson
