Written above the urinals in local Tesco bog.

is that part of the 'big starma' conspiracy theory?

There's a lovely diagram of Labour spending on public health going around but I've now just remembered PFI as a result.

 

[Humberto]

Why can't we have more working class representatives?

Politicians are only good at one thing, brazening out media interviews and doing fuck all.

Two things...

Any other leader would be 20 points ahead by now

Unity update:
Loads of officers, including the chair, of Bristol West CLP suspended because they debated - and passed - a motion in support of JC. Bristol area has been a bit feisty lately anyway with an upsurge in rumblings against SW Regional Office and their right wing control freakery. One particularly eye catching complaint is that Regional prevented Kingswood CLP from making donations to ACORN community union and local foodbanks, on the grounds that they were "inappropriate"

NB: Bristol West is a great example of a marginal seat in 2015 becoming extremely safe on a 30 point swing in '17. Suspect the Greens will be excited to see Bristol Labour in turmoil. Bristol CC is Labour controlled with 37/70 seats but I make around 12 of those vulnerable to even a small drop in Labour support next May.

The Bristol West CLP Secretary Darran McLaughlin has now been unsuspended:

A Tory party mired in scandal can’t fix the NHS – but a Labour government can | Keir Starmer

We will fix the damage the Conservatives have done to our health system, and deliver a renewed NHS, says Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour party

www.theguardian.com

Easiest slam dunk in the history of re-nationalisation/kicking private sector vultures out of a simplified health system and Keith's busily avoiding any mention of the word in favour of blather about "forensic investment."

 

[magneze]

OMG, it does actually mention forensic investment. I thought that was a joke.

Reactionary, ignorant drivel from that revisionist renegade Starmer. Pandering to morons who won't vote for him anyway lol

Starmer on rising energy bills: “I’m not in favour of nationalisation” – LabourList

Keir Starmer has declared that he is "not in favour of nationalisation" when rejecting the idea that energy companies should be taken into UK public…

another one of the leadership pledges broken...

Fucking waste of space.

Think of the tax
Think of getting rid of county lines gangs
Think of the extra revenue from cakes

Weirdly, I can see the Tories legalising cannabis before Starmer's Labour ever even moot it.

- Its becoming more and more legal across the US and (white) people have made $$$ and the Tories love the American model.
- Bread and circuses.

An interview with Starmer in The Guardian today, for those who can stomach it.

‘Stop talking about the problem – fix the bloody thing!’ Keir Starmer on Boris Johnson’s parties and his plan to win power

With Labour ahead in the polls and the prime minister on the ropes, the former lawyer is riding high. But can he finally connect with the country?

When Starmer is asked about labour he says he didn't even know it was a party

Hattenstone has his tongue so far up Starmer's arse there I'm surprised he could see his keyboard to type up the interview.

Though even so, while trying to sideswipe Corbyn he still manages to illustrate Starmer's utter vacancy.

His office is huge and bland. With Corbyn, it was easy to play Through the Keyhole. His office was full of giveaways: file after ancient file documenting radical causes; Stop the War posters; a historical Islington Trade Council banner; multicoloured tequilas from Venezuela. Today, there is nothing that shouts Starmer.

What a fucking epic episode of Bake Off that would be! Defo would watch Mary Berry (I think) getting blitzed on Space Cakes made by a mechanic from Bromley.

 

[Carvaged]

His seat would almost certainly fall to Labour again in the next election. So this seems like a reasonable tactic for someone who wants to stay in Parliament.

Cakes are zero-rated for VAT, so there wouldn't be any additional revenue from increased consumption.

they would definitly tax hash cakes were they legal
