Even her speech writers are shit it seems John Major did, I think Thatcher and Callahagn did too. I bet loads have to be honest. She must be relying heavily on a short memory. They may actually have been grammar schools in some cases but I'd imagine she would have too if the grammar/comp split system was still in place.

Basically it's semantics for an utterly pointless soundbite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members stumobir Posted October 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Al Jazzera’s documentary The Labour Files is worth a watch(YouTube), even if they do go over the same points more than a few times. The 2017 election was such a missed opportunity and I’ll never not be angry about it. Some of the blame has to lie with Corbyn and his crew though, dancing to their tune was never going to work and his idea of “doing politics differently” was unbelievably naïve for a man who should’ve known exactly how Westminster institutions operate.

Gonna check this out at some point, but yeah. Corbs needed to do the Stalinist purge bit first and then get on with democratising the party. You can’t work with the cunts to democratically oust the cunts, because they’re more cunty than you and it’ll just never work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted October 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 5, 2022 YouGov, who had the 33 point lead across Great Britain last week, have done a Scotland only poll. Combine those two polls in the Electoral Calculus votes-to-seats forecast and the result is fun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Christ, imagine what you’d have to be accused of to be removed by the tories. The obvious answer is “Anything half decent” but there’s no danger of Conor Burns doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 He slapped a disabled pensioner so hard her false teeth flew out and hit Liz Truss on the bonce. No one assaults the party leader and gets away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the worst comps in Huddersfield. It does share some of its sports fields with a very swish private school, which I always think must be interesting for both sets of students as the demographics for both schools are worlds apart.

Paid Members JNLister Posted October 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 8, 2022 Top bants story from The Times: Johnson's resignation honours list turns out to nominate eight Tory MPs to become peers. Truss is trying to find some sort of "don't let them accept it until 2024" loophole as she is very much not up for eight by-elections right now.

Loki Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I think she'll be gone by December! Tomorrow the BoE ends its magic money tree support of the UK bond market. So today would have been the day to u-turn and calm the markets. They've not done that. So tomorrow the shit will hit the fan... again. Given that, I very much think we might see the 1922 Committee change its rules to allow a Vote of No Confidence in Truss as leader, next week. And a coronation of Richie Sunak the week after. There's no way they will let the members vote again, they can't be trusted - although the MPs who supported Truss are as much to blame!!
