UK XI: I Want To Ride My Diecycle

Him being drafted in didn't even register for me on the surprise level - but the role he's been chosen for... man alive

Despite the most poisonous xenophobia that we've seen and heard in the last thirteen years all coming exclusively from Tory Home Secretaries (May, Rudd, Javid, Patel)?

Labour are fully behind Brexit (and their union paymasters called for Brexit based on “foreigners take our jobs” ‘reasons’), and they’ve had poisonous Home Secs like Blunkett who weren’t all that different to the current government in many ways. Labour and the Tories chase the same WWC core voters, who aren’t exactly keen on foreigners. Basically, don’t expect a Starmer government to be kind and understanding.

I particularly enjoy the way the forum truncates the current thread title. I have a lot of suggestions for how this sentence could be ended.

Labour literally have no choice but to be behind it now because Corbyn utterly failed to campaign for Remain (and openly backed a Hard Brexit) despite the Party begging him to when he was Leader, the subject is now that politically toxic so using that as a stick to beat Starmer (admittedly not perfect by any means but who was unquestionably a hardcore Remainer) with is a joke.

Blunkett wasn't great but he was still nowhere near as awful as any of the other Tory Home Secs that I've mentioned and that is a fact - the Hostile Environment ideology literally started with Theresa May, Amber Rudd has dirty hands where the Windrush Scandal is concerned to the point of her leaving politics totally and Sajid Javid and Priti Patel were pretty much Braverman prototypes.

The one perk of Cameron's return must be that it must frustrate Braverman as it's immediately drowned her firing out of the news

Well, I suppose you have a point there.

Oh my word, minister of common sense?!

If you ever wanted proof that the Tories are the party of out-of-touch parents, there it is.

Isn't that a monty python sketch?

Starmer under pressure to back Labour amendment on Gaza ceasefire | Labour | The Guardian
Out of the news for a minute, Labour pulls itself back in once again over the in-fighting about calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. At this point Starmer should just give in just to silence the noise for all the difference it will make.

Proving yet again that Braverman and the hard right of party were always worth ignoring because they have zero clue with they won the 2019 GE

That part of the Party says that by axing Cruella the party has walked away from those who voted in huge numbers to give the landslide victory in '19


Our survey says....

A public poll has shown that 70% of the public believe firing Braverman was the right decision compared to just 17% who supported her

However, a majority also think bringing Cameron back is a mistake

Exhuming the Corpse of a long dead disgraced PM who resigned when he realised just how much he had screwed over the Uk with Brexit who was Implemented in the pannama papers for hiding assets offshore. I wonder if we will see a return to pig fking and Austerity?

It shows one thing though and that's how little Talent/Loyalty/Credibility Sunak has left in the Conservative party.

I always wonder if Braverman realises however far right in her views she goes, the kind of people who storm Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday will never accept her as she is the the daughter of immigrants and not white? She must have some serious internalised self-loathing going on... or maybe she is just the sort to do absolutely anything for power?

Its like she was trying to prove herself by being the king of the xenophobes, that's kind of failed and now shes got a bright future hosting on GB News. i wonder if her parents are happy that shes championing hate against them and other British immigrants for political gain. she played a stupid game and got ****canned
