Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs
The first thing the successful candidate should get are plans of Tory hq to aid in planning a raid on the headquarters of the bourgeoisie
The labour hq is the reserve headquarters of the bourgeoisieThe Labour party's plan is to replace the bourgeoisie alright, just not in the way you think.
Briefly wondered if that might be a wind-up, but it's real:
Closes on Thursday, so better hurry if you want to get your applications in.
Be better if it said ‘Sits’ Vacant.I do like the fact that your quote box shows the words 'Current vacancies' right next to a picture of a grinning Starmer.
politicians get that all the time ... is that that big a deal? ... would anybody really notice?"Now we learned yesterday that Keir Starmer says he's getting death threats online – people calling for his execution," Mr Madeley said.
His guest, Conservative commentator Andrew Pierce, replied: "Well I think politicians get that all the time."
The presenter Mr Madeley added: "I was going to say, actually, is that that big a deal?
I dunno enough about Party jobs to be able to answer, but I did realise that presumably means that, if Labour were to win an election, this person would be contractually out of a job?It seems a little odd that it specifies the bit about a fixed term contract for as long as Starmer remains Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition.
Or is that sort of thing standard/common?
It certainly reads like that, though I think it's more likely that a Starmer-led Labour would lose the next GE and the job would go when Starmer is (presumably) replaced.I dunno enough about Party jobs to be able to answer, but I did realise that presumably means that, if Labour were to win an election, this person would be contractually out of a job?
Yes it's perfectly normal for senior political roles to work like this. And acceptable in my view. I would also argue that the salary is about right for a director role in a centre left organisation.The job wouldn’t exist any more if Starmer won. You don’t need to attack and counter in the same way if you are in government and you’ll have civil servants to help you too. The appointee would be well lined up for another appointment tho.
Depends on whether someone tries to carry them out I suppose.Are death threats against Keir Starmer really a big deal, Richard Madeley asks

Steve Reed was witnessed doing the conga around the Brixton Bar and Grill with his Blairite colleagues the night they managed to pass Lambeth's first austerity budget.About the billy_bob post about naming and shaming this interview in Mirror with Justice Minister Steve Reed.
Steve Reed on Justice - 'Days when Labour cared more about criminals are over'
New Shadow Justice Secretary Steve Reed moved to harden Labour's line on law and order - and told how having a knife held to his throat 20 years ago affects him todaywww.mirror.co.uk
The Naming and Shaming of people who buy drugs is old idea of Steve's going back to his days when he led Lambeth council. At time a flagship New Labour led borough. I can't remember it lasting long or having any effect
Corbyn did give Steve Reed a post when he was leader. Despite that the Mirror interview he is saying how last ten years of Labour (this would include Ed Miliband) have been a mistake and it's time to get back to Blairite politics.
Worse it is saying under Corbyn the party cared more about criminals than victims.
It's back to outflanking the Tories on crime.
