Just enjoyin' my coffee.
Thanks for reminding me of why I hate the fucking Labour Party (not that I needed reminding).

I missed this - the one figure Labour have gone for is 2.1%

Labour demand 'at least' a 2.1% NHS pay rise - and back nurses' right to strike
Labour said nurses and other NHS staff should get 2.1% as a bare minimum - but wouldn't say exactly how much and insisted a strike was 'hypothetical'

Leadership in action
I saw Rayner on C4 news tonight. When pushed on why Labour are 13 points behind in the polls going into local elections -- the same as when SurKieth took the leadership -- her response was that it has been a difficult year. As if the Tories catastrophic response to Covid and their ballsing up of Brexit is something that would just obviously always hurt Labour.

Just why vote Labour at all, even when you think they can't plunge any shitter they constantly find new depths.

Callooh! Callay!
He just doesn't make any good or smart moves. I mean people are bound to notice. He's a 'knows the price of everything and the value of nothing' type. He never (as a rule it seems) nails his colours to the mast. He's an establishment, time-serving lukewarm void and is precisely the last thing we need from an opposition, especially so right now and looking forwards. Not even yesterday's man.

Wow. Even Sir Kief. That's got to be game set and match.

The Keith way to show disapproval would be to whip MPs to abstain on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

Labour are now voting against it but its purely because of last nights vigil going fubar. They'd be abstaining otherwise.

Why is abstaining a thing anyway? They’re employed to say yay or nay to these things not to sit on their hands and hum

it's cowardly focus group politics
they don't want to be seen as supporting tory policies, but they don't want the 'labour soft on law and order / terrorists / criminals' bollocks that the tories and their friends in the press will come out with if they vote against it

I guess there must be legitimate reasons for abstaining such as conflict of interest, but it rarely is that, it’s just cowardice

He doesn’t think Cressida Dick should resign though, I’m not going to defend him any more.

Keir says he's not going to call for Cressida to resign
It's because it won't change anything but noone is going to read that far or care. She can also resign and you can still call for change so...
Well done Keir you fucking Muppet

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
The tories have seemed very keen to talk up the political accountability of the Met all day...cue more Khan bashing.

No one resigns or gets fired anymore, theres no need
Sure, but its an opportunity for Patel to outflank Starmer from the left. Her days are numbered, out by teatime tomorrow.
