Pleasantly surpised that for whatever reason that Twiiter algorithm is sending me Ed Davey campaign photos. I think its because I viewed a John Sweeney tweet in which his campaign to become a Lib Dem MP seems to revolve around trying to crowdfund a pub crawl. Anway for all the Libs on here:

Who's that in the pictures?

Who's that in the pictures?

Lib Dems leader

The goblin of political reporting, Chris Mason, was talking about Ed Davey this morning. His view is that Ed does all these weird dad-joke type stunts as it's the only way the Lib Dems get any attention on the national stage.

It's embarrassing but actually that's the point.

Ed who?

Going for the youth Vote, Vote LibDem because we too have an embarrassing Dad.

Definitely not going for the sub-postmaster vote

Can someone please clarify what sort pre-election "campaigning" involving a current Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party was taking place back in December 2022?

Whilst I wish every sort of misfortune on Tories and their fellow neoliberal scum in the Labour Party, this seems like a non-story tbh. Always good to embarrass them when their 'law and order' mantras come up against an inconvenient photo or something but, beyond that, not much.

Go on Bahnhof Strasse I dare you.

Godalming and Ash voters: tell us which issues will decide this election

tbf, right now am pissed right off with this shit...





Twice a week, hasn't he got anything better to do?

 

[Orang Utan]

The state of it. Her on the right. Yeah, cos everyone watches the football with their hands behind their backs.

Why not?

 

[JimW]

She's also much less likely to give away a pen if the ball hits the wall.

About 5 years ago Labour had 600,000 members, the majority Corbyn supporting socialists. Now the party has more ex-Tory MPs than socialists.

Another defection

Mark Logan: Former Tory MP backs Labour at general election

Oh dear.

 

[ruffneck23]

Oh dear.

I'm in twitter jail at the moment, so cant reply to that to show my anger at the twat for 12 hours, it seems I can call people fuckers and worse but saying Lizz Truss 'Should be put into a cannon and fired into the sun' is a step too far

 

[Puddy_Tat]

but saying Lizz Truss 'Should be put into a cannon and fired into the sun' is a step too far

think it might cause environmental damage to the sun...

 

[Kaka Tim]

Love to see an urban word cloud for them both

Oh dear.

christ - totally partridge. In his brain hes thinking "lockdown = ooh ooh I know this one! .. Tell them what a great job I did helping everyone - thats it ... Sorry about your mum btw"

 

[Silas Loom]

At the rate Tories are defecting, this was probably a planted councillor who went rogue.

Not a defection. Standing down anyway and just having a dig.

So what’s Faiza Shaheen supposed to have done?

 

[teqniq]

So what’s Faiza Shaheen supposed to have done?

Pretty innocuous stuff tbh:

Faiza Shaheen dropped by Labour for liking pro-BDS, Corbyn and Green Party posts

Left-wing candidate deselected for 15 posts between 2014 and 2024 on issues from Islamophobia to Israeli lobbying, MEE has been informed

www.middleeasteye.net

But completely unacceptable to the right of the party which pretty much runs the show these days.

 

[Orang Utan]

So what’s Faiza Shaheen supposed to have done?

Being left wing while brown

 

[Wilf]

So what’s Faiza Shaheen supposed to have done?

Not as keen as Starmer on cutting water off to Palestinians.
