Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 17, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2022 Only just realised the next GE is December 2024. Fuck sake, I thought it was 2023. That gives them plenty of time to calm down their voters and win the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The only reason for them to call a GE at this stage is if they think they've definitely lost the next one and they've fucked things up enough that Labour won't be able to turn it around and they might be able to win the one after. But that would rely on them not being deluded, entitled pricks. There's no sign that they can think long term either. Plus they believe the British public are stupid. Which, to be fair, might be their most sensible policy. To be honest, if this country had an ounce of self respect we'd all go on a general strike until the big corporations tell the government to fuck off. But as someone once said when misquoting a Robbie Williams lyric, "every country has the government it deserves." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've carte blanche to push through anything they like and to manipulate the economy for the benefit of themselves and their backers. They're not stopping this gravy train because a bunch of back benchers are bricking it at the prospect of finding another job.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Talk that friend to murderers Johnny Mercer will cross the floor at PMQs, and then we get called Tory enablers for not voting for a party that accepts tories with open arms whilst doing all they can to stop or exclude left wingers from standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted October 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2022 Braverman's been sacked as home secretary apparently. That's good news as she is a genuine monster. I know she'll be replaced by another cunt (Grant Shapps rumoured - a cunt) but I'm still celebrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 William Wragg (I didn’t know Billy Bragg had a Wario hahahahaha) said that he isn’t going to vote against the three line whip over the Fracking bill because if he does, he loses the whip and thus his letter of no confidence won’t count. There aren’t going to be slips given either so they all have to vote for it. Which might be a bit difficult for a recent addition to the backbench’s as he is in the Caribbean on a lucrative speaking tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2022 One of the most horrendous things about Braverman is that she purports to be a Buddhist. Not raised in the culture and conditioned by rote, but actually converted to Buddhism. You would have thought she'd spent some time thinking about what Buddhist values are, before going on about how she "dreams" of sending people back on boats, or claiming the British empire was a force for good, especially for India. That's one Mauritian I'll happily disown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
