dobmisterdobster Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Shooter McGavin said: The English electorate en masse believe they are closer to an Etonian millionaire, than they are to the poor family down the road, or the family of immigrants who have had to flee a war-zone to y’know, avoid being killed. They’re quite happy to sit back and watch billions of tax payers money be funnelled off to the Torys elite business pals via dodgy government contracts, but god forbid the malnourished kid down the road from having some food, that just doesn’t bare thinking about… Spending excessive amounts of time in social media instead of talking to real people will result in distorted generalisations like this.

My statement was based on twelve years of a Tory government, that has continually been involved in government contract scandals, most recently PPE and Test & Trace related. My statement was also based upon the Torys horrendous attitude towards asylum seekers, most recently the Rwanda situation, and how they stir hatred against asylum seekers & immigrants etc. My statement also relates to the unprecedented rise in food banks and families going hungry, all during the past twelve years in which the Torys have been in power.

I saw a great suggestion that he should open the next PMQs by asking Johnson whether he (Johnson) thought that Starmer should resign if an FPN came his (Starmer's) way. Put the pressure back on the fat messy buffoon.

SectionDJambo Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The right wing press have tried to muddy the waters to get Johnson off the hook. They’ve pushed and pushed the narrative even though the police had previously cleared Starmer over this. Now they’ve managed to persuade the police to investigate again, which has made Starmer decide to go all in and say he’ll resign if fined by the police. This could be a spectacular own goal by the Tories and right wing press. If Starmer does have to resign, along with Rayner, Johnson and others will have to follow him out. The Gray report and further fines will be on the way shortly. Could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn who led the party to the biggest electoral loss ever? No leader should ever have expected to survive that; Corbyn should have walked the plank. If anyone had to put together a campaign to remove him, that was down to Corbyn being an insufferable little squirt much, much more than anyone involved in that campaign. It was obvious from the get-go that Corbyn was unelectable; he had the lowest number of votes from the parliamentary party. Who, but an utter cretin, would not take the message that he probably shouldn't try to lead a party when 85% of its most significant members - the ones who need most leading - think you're an arsehole? I'm thankful for anyone who took him out. I'm not massively Labour but I'm grateful for anyone who stands a chance of taking the Johnson government out and I find it hard to stomach people like Diane Abbott who seem intent on damaging Starmer (and the rest of the Labour party), thereby enabling Johnson & co.
