A man so dedicated to politics he immediately fucked off when he didn't get the leader's job.

Bit of a find this: a whole cohort of Blairites, proto spin doctors(Phil Collins) and Journo's including the odious Purnell(who knew the damage he would go on to cause to vulnerable lives then) but also Andy Burnham, in an ill fitting suit.

 

[treelover]

Purnell is on 300,000 a year at the BBC so yes not much difference.

Good piece on Labour's issues around economic illiteracy by Wren-Lewis on the "mainly macro" blog...

The Conservatives have a kind of excuse for deficit fetishism - it is a useful device for shrinking the state. That excuse should not apply to senior Labour figures.

EU referendum campaign: Labour helps Cameron see off Eurosceptic rebellion

Vermin's first defeat averted.

I don't even get how the european parliament works. Maybe no one does, they all just turn up, shout at each other for a bit then trouser a pay packet before eating a waffle or something.

It's a red herring really. The European Commission decides all the important stuff, and you get appointed to that not elected. Technically the European Parliament elects the president of the Commission (currently the former president of Taxdodgistan, Jean-Claude Juncker) but in reality that all gets decided behind closed doors as well.

prime minister of taxdodgistan: taxdodgistan is, as well you know, ruled by a grand duke.

Of course, how silly of me.

That is what they declare.

Letting teenagers vote in the EU referendum would leave them vulnerable to sexual predators, an MP has claimed.

Barry Sheerman made the astonishing claim in the House of Commons, warning lowering the voting age to 16 would "shrink childhood" - making adulthood start at 16 rather than 18.

[SpookyFrank]

That's one of the more batshit insane things I've heard in a long while.

 

[DotCommunist]

I think MP's know whereof they speak when it comes to noncery though

 

[J Ed]

I think MP's know whereof they speak when it comes to noncery though

Yes, it speaks to the the fact that the vulnerability of young people is rarely far from the minds of many of our representatives...

Fear and loathing in Cardiff

 

[treelover]

“And so it is with deep regret that I can no longer remain a member of a political group consisting of so many nasty, vindictive, cruel and incompetent politicians as the Cardiff Labour group of councillors.

Nothing to do with nasty policies reading that article though.

He's our MP. I've met him on numerous occasions and although a cunt, that's just fucking insane

Look at her pretending to be against the budget. She is useless

 

[rekil]

If you ultra left trolls had joined and pushed the party to the left like he suggested, would this be happening? Don't think so.

Harriet Harman has confirmed the policy days after slamming George Osborne's welfare cuts, saying they defied his claim to stand up for workers

Labour is now backing Tory plans to scrap child tax credits for more than two children, Harriet Harman has confirmed.

[SpookyFrank]

That'll teach people not to have kids they've already got
