The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

You're a useful idiot for the left, Sven.  I wouldn't expect you to think otherwise.

It is SLEEZE though.  She's been dishonest/immoral.  Take your pick.

 

 

I'm surprised she hasn't blamed 14 years of Tory government, Brexit, Nigel Farage and the " far right"  .

[THUNDERCLINT]

Not sure not getting a licence to rent your house is up there with
Partying on in number 10 during COVID 
Giving public money to an ineligible American pole dancer
Selling honours for cash
Obtaining secret donations 
Over ruling ethics advisor findings to protect ‘mates’

It’s SLEAZE by the way

How about pissing off a bunch of rent boys to the point they torch your house and being so comprised that you have to make Peter Mandleson US ambassador?

Looks like Starmer's Stasi have persuaded the letting agency take the rap for this one, cant lose his financial wizard a month before the next shambles of a budget.

 

 

He needs her in place to sack AFTER the budget.

Undoubtedly the estate agents have been paid off to take the hit.

Release the meta data for the likely edited (forged) emails if it's all legit.

[Lee Trundle]

Labour have become the party of SLEEZE.

Where's ray when you need him?  He loved a bit of SLEEZE.

What has happened to Ray? Gone really quiet 

I saw him post something the other day (on the Firestick thread), so he's still alive and kicking.

[OK_Guy]

I caught the back end of question time last night, they were in Bradford.
The fella from reform was desperate to talk about grooming gangs but for some reason it wasn’t getting much traction……….

because it was in Bradford?... you wouldn't want to upset the perpetrator's would you.

This is almost as desperate a reach by Kemi Babadook as the Conservative leader in Australia calling the Aust PM anti semitic for wearing a Joy Division tshirt

Perhaps the Conservative Party should be wrapped up & they can all join Reform and tell us what they really believe in

[Far Cough UKunt]

The one good thing that Rayner did was giving Reeves a good old right hander.

[only1billybonds]

And to think when Labour got in to power they couldn't stop proclaiming that 'the grown ups' were now in the room. How many times did Starmer bang on about 14 years of Tory sleaze. 

Well fuck me, him and his rancid party are bang on course to outsleaze the other lot inside two years.
No surprise that Reeves has already blamed someone else ( the agency) for her underhand activities, she is nearly as detestable as her boss.

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

So Reeves lied last night when she said she didn’t lnow she needed a licence as she had posted previously welcoming the licensing laws.

Now she is hiding behind the agency saying that they never followed up on applying for the licence, when it’s clearly a criminal offense for a landlord to rent out a property without the necessary license - whether the agency agreed to apply  for it or not.

Her job has got to be hanging by a thread now..

JD Vance 
First President sponsored by Maybelline mascara

[Lee Trundle]

The likes of Newsom, AOC and now Mamdani pandering to an idiotic minority means JD Vance is a shoe-in for the next President.

[nychammer]

nychammer.

Do you ever listen to the 'Ruthless Variety' podcast?
They've done some very good shows covering Mamdani and the state of the Dems generally.
Good listen if you have an interest in American politics.

 I have not but maybe I will. Thanks.

Not everyone uses facebook, so a c&P would be useful.

NYC, the "capitalist center of the world" is about to elect Zohran Mamdani, a muslim, an avowed Marxist and anti-semite as it's next mayor. He's promising to make buses fare free, freeze rents, near double the minimum wage, create Government run supermarkets and make childcare free. He will pay for it by raising corporate taxes and taxes on Millionaires and property owners in white Neigborhoods. He makes Sadiq Khan look like Norman Tebbit.  The NYC socialist and freeloader crowd are all over it and he has a double digit lead with a week to go.

What could possibly go wrong?

Socialism, where they want everything of yours except your job.
