I'm not sure what political position would work alliteratively with quinoa.

Quinoa communist?

Surely anyone who can pronounce quinoa correctly is immediately debarred from membership?

 

[Rob Ray]

"Quinoa conservative" works quite well for whatever remains of its socially liberal faction tbf.

That shtick is really tired and I suspect includes a whole lot of projection as he is hardly salt of the earth himself.

"Sourdough socialists" - a loaf of sourdough bread is 2 quid from the co-op. Warburtons toasty white bread is £1.55. This is hardly the preserve of the elite that he seems to think it is. What next, "Stella socialists" who go for the "reassuringly expensive" Stella Artois instead of a cheaper John Smiths? What a load of crap.

i don't think the people he has in mind shop at the co-op. or even shoplift there.

The target of his ire is so absurdly specific - upper middle class people in North London who work in media and have left wing views and trendy health-conscious consumer choices. That is also likely a close description of Brendan O'Neill (apart from left wing views although he still kind of pretends to) uncoincidentally. It is hardly the case that left wing views aren't found in anywhere but that demographic but you wouldn't know it the way he goes on.

There's a kind of London-centric delusion where there are two possible worldviews - the liberal left Guardian reading one among North London media types, or the kind of right wing white working class found in Essex. Where do Celtic FC supporters fit into this?

My MP Kevin Brennan has ignored my last 3 emails asking him if he will sign EDM 1685 I suspect Andy McDonald has a great deal more in the way of principles:


Keir Starmer suspends senior Labour MP Andy McDonald over ‘river to the sea’ speech

 

[two sheds]

Starmer still suspended him. Bit of a fucking error though.

 

[PR1Berske]

My MP, perennial backbencher "Sir" Mark Hendrick, has tweeted his call for a ceasefire.

 

[Calamity1971]

And even if he was replaced it would be by wes 'margerine man' streeting who is being groomed as starmer's successor I reckon. Streeting of course, being a man who makes starmer look slightly less beige wallpaper by comparison!

wes 'margerine man' streeting.

Keir Starmer to set out policy on Israel-Gaza war amid Labour tensions

The Labour leader will use a speech to restate his support for a humanitarian pause, rather than a ceasefire.

www.bbc.co.uk

Erm BBC, this is just Starmer doubling down on what he's already said not setting out a policy in any sense that he's hasn't already set out.

Chris Bryant (when did he become 'Sir' Chris Bryant? ) floundered on R4 earlier when asked what was wrong with what Andy McDonald had said.

Dunno where to put this but its good news and its on the back of an RMT and user led campaign. Obviously, the devil will be in the detail.

A colleague was bemoaning the closure of his local ticket office a bit ago and that the woman on the desk (who's apparently worked there for years and knows everyone) was going to lose her job.

Pointed out that the RMT had been campaigning on just this issue and it was one of the reasons they'd been on strike. (He's very vocally anti-industrial action.) He didn't really have anything to say about that as he doesn't really seem to get cause and effect.
