Labour leadership

Send Chuka over there

Or Tristram Hunt.

"I say chaps, all this business with the assasinations is simply not on. Surely your differences could be better settled with a nice intramural lacrosse tournament."

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Or Tristram Hunt.

He resigned

But Hunt's pre-emptively resigned. Chuka's saying he'll have to be fired first so I reckon give him NI and watch him squirm.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Has Umunna not resigned as well?

 

[SpookyFrank]

But Hunt's pre-emptively resigned.

I like that.

I've also pre-emptively resigned as shadow education minister. Any fucker tries to give me that job, I'm covered.

Earlier today he was saying that JC will have to sack him. He might have changed his mind since NI vacated though.

Given these differences, not least on the European referendum, I would find it difficult to abide by the collective responsibility that comes with serving in the Shadow Cabinet. That is why Jeremy and I have agreed I can more effectively support his leadership from the backbenches. In particular, it is my view that we should support the UK remaining a member of the EU, notwithstanding the outcome of any renegotiation by the Prime Minister, and I cannot envisage any circumstances where I would be campaigning alongside those who would argue for us to leave – Jeremy has made it clear to me that he does not wholeheartedly share this view.

I've also pre-emptively resigned as England football manager, police and crime commissioner for the east midlands and chairman of the Dolly Parton fan club.

e2a: I may still be available for the post of Serena Williams' personal masseur. But it'll cost her.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I like that.

Fuck you, you coat tail-riding, bandwagon-jumping hipster motherfucker - I resigned from Education like, in the 80s

 

[cesare]

We need to know whether Chuka "mutually agreed" to part ways before or after NI vacated.

 

[existentialist]

Isn't Spameron on quite dodgy ground with this shit? As someone else has said I just expected 'congrats, looking forward to pmq jousting, blah blah blah' not this red scare arseholery

That's a mark of his (and perhaps his advisors') naïvete.

Occam's Razor runs a close heat between "tell the dopey punters what they want to hear" and "attacking always works" as the main operating principle in Cameron's brain. Personally, I suspect it's the latter. I look forward to him stepping repeatedly and hard on his own dick.

TBF you did have your knockers in that role

 

[Casually Red]

It begins!

" fuck off you nonce "

 

[DaveCinzano]

"attacking always works"

I hear Moscow is quite nice around Christmas time

 

[Mr.Bishie]

" fuck off you nonce "

I dunno, I quite enjoyed this one:

@David_Cameron Shit off you ham mannequin.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

I dunno, I quite enjoyed this one:

Another one that had me chuckling was, "fuck off you gammon faced cock valve"

 

[FridgeMagnet]

shit gibbon

[taffboy gwyrdd]

Very good piece about the Orwellian fear mongeriing.

This is why David Cameron called Jeremy Corbyn a threat to national security

What's the score with Ivan Lewis going? Who's to replace him?

Ivan Lewis loses shadow NI secretary role in Jeremy Corbyn reshuffle - BBC News

Wow. Really.

I suspect I know what's going on here.

Some hotshot political historian party apparatchik has gone...

"Jezza == Michael Foot"

"Thatcher beat Foot in the 83 GE on the strength of the Falklands campaign"

"We need a Falklands campaign"

"Oh look, ISIS/refugees/dark-skinned people"

"Jezza likes refugees"

"Therefore, Jezza is a threat to national security"

"We win the next general election"

It's like Underpants Gnomes politics.

All these obviously spurious accusations of anti-Semitism are very dangerous on many levels

 

[nino_savatte]

IIRC the corpse allegation was only ever made in reference to Liverpool, or to one cemetery in Liverpool.

But my brain may have been addled by the stench of garbage...

Yet, the Tories were pretty much allowed to rewrite the historical narrative with very little, if any, challenge from Labour. Pathetic.

That is magnificently timed at least. He can come up with no circumstances that he might share a platform with those who want to leave, just a few hours before the Germans give everyone on the continent about three or four of them.

 

[Casually Red]

Wow. Really.

I'm reasonably politically aware yet I've been totally unaware of this punters existence . I dont even know whether he was a Protestant Jew or a catholic one . Which tends to be the most important thing .

They agreed with them was why .

Emily's back. Rumour has it that Emily Thornberry is in line for an important job in the Shadow Cabinet. I think she should celebrate by driving to Parliament in a white van with a St George flag flying from the aerial (but of course she won't).
