Tbf there's actual video of him there, being booed and someone shouting at him to get to the back of the line, so it's not "a source said". And personally I don't really gaf outside of generalised disdain for the rich waving their power around (moneyed twat jumps queue, news at ten) but it's mildly amusing to see the political incompetence of a self-declared Britishest Britisher breaking one of the most famously British taboos going.Love how supposedly leftwing posters will jump on the right wing press just cos they have a single hatred in common!!

Yep. He's a hapless politician at all levels.Tbf there's actual video of him there, being booed and someone shouting at him to get to the back of the line, so it's not "a source said".

"That’s probably why he is prime minister. If he hadn’t been to the right of most of us, we probably wouldn’t have won."
Removing even more power from local government in one of the most centralised developed countries doesn't seem like a great idea to me. District councils tend to run nice stuff like parks, leisure centres etc. and the new unitary councils will likely have to make cuts to those services because central government has for decades refused to fund stuff like social care and SEND provision properly, and the unitary councils will be obliged to provide them. Central government is looking for a solution to that funding gap that won't cost them and as usual in the UK, fuck local democracy. District councils are an easy target as they are rural and largely Tory but the proposals aren't good.
Have I spent much of my time on here bothering to ride to the rescue of Corbyn, Miliband and Foot when the right-wing press clowned them for making silly presentation errors, do you think? Though even so, I will note there's a difference between inelegant sartorial decisions and actively pushing past everyone else to go on the rides first. Of all of the examples I'd probably say Miliband was worst served (it's damn near impossible to not have a silly face on you at some point if the cameras are following your every blink), but I was nothing but tickled by his Edstone fiasco.Yes, and there was footage of Corbyn wearing a hat, Miliband eating a bacon roll & Michael Foot wearing a coat.
But, in and of themselves, none of those things prove cuntitude.Yes, and there was footage of Corbyn wearing a hat, Miliband eating a bacon roll & Michael Foot wearing a coat.

They also all had something else in common with each other but not Starmer.But, in and of themselves, none of those things prove cuntitude.
Nope, can't solve that riddle.They also all had something else in common with each other but not Starmer.
Not being as big a cunt as Starmer?They also all had something else in common with each other but not Starmer.
They didn't win a general election.Nope, can't solve that riddle.
Hardly - but then most on here wouldn't get nuance and would prefer another 14 years of the Tories.We appear to have caught ourselves a sighting of a True Starmerite. Very rare, worth 20 points in the book, that one. Been wanting to tick it off for a while.
The lesser-spotted False Starmerite? Can be hard to tell the difference, tbf.Hardly - but then most on here wouldn't get nuance and would prefer another 14 years of the Tories.
I suspect most on here would have preferred not to make that 19.Hardly - but then most on here wouldn't get nuance and would prefer another 14 years of the Tories.
I don't know, that's about the height of a lamp post...I suspect most on here would have preferred not to make that 19.
Man am I glad you're here to explain how nuance involves making peevish, unfounded sweeping statements. Next up, how Urban is basically just groupthink, by someone who's been here four years watching everyone merrily arguing with everyone else about basically everything.Hardly - but then most on here wouldn't get nuance and would prefer another 14 years of the Tories.

More might have been made of that at the time if it wasn't for other events that day
You get one week's headstart upon joining, after which you are chased down in the tone policecar and dingbats are thrown at you until you either submit to the hive mind or are torn apart by the chains of pedantry. If you survive all that you are officially a noob until you've succeeded in getting someone else to denounce you as a snide prick.Is it 20 years before you stop being a n00b?
That's up there with oil Sunak why didn't you by a cheap day return
The name "Broxtowe" rang a bell.This is clearly much more about the plan to abolish district & borough councils than anything else - which seems a rather good policy tbh.
The name "Broxtowe" rang a bell.
I have been trying to find a news item about a protest about Labour Party policy by Broxtowe councillors in 2023. It may have been over the selection process. There was discontent in Broxtowe before the new plans for local government were announced.
In my view, the new plans for local government re-organisation are an attack on democracy. They make local government more remote, as I undersand them.
Starmer notoriously chose not to prosecute the nuance Jimmy SavileHardly - but then most on here wouldn't get nuance and would prefer another 14 years of the Tories.
Oh you're really going spread lies that Boris Johnson spread & his own policy chief resigned over.Starmer notoriously chose not to prosecute the nuance Jimmy Savile
Starmer's still fifth, mind(Yes it was a shit pun!)
