It’s his name?

Which would mean her name was Angela rather than 'Rayner' wouldn't it? Or is it one rule for him and his like and another for everyone else?

Anyway, why do you care? You're fucking off to Canada for a better life, so I wouldn't let it bother you if I were you.

 

[bluethrunthru]

It’s his name?

Its his middle name - his Christian name is Alexander - people who know him call him Alex - close friends call him Al - Boris is his middle name that he uses for stage purposes in the same way he ruffles his hair

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It’s his name?

Then why not Angela?

 

[bluethrunthru]

From Saskatchewan, Manitoba or Manitoba one assumes - not Quebec as they think they are French

Enjoy your victory - genuinely pleased for you. I maintain it’s a fucking unmitigated disaster for the country. Back in the politics thread in a couple of years time.

Who’s gonna win ?

Cleverley performing on BBC Breakfast - it's an interesting approach. Apparently Labour are going to "lock in" themselves to power, whatever that means.

"The country are saying they're tired of you"
"I disagree".

Seems a bit like disagreeing that water is wet.

Looking forward to Friday when the remaining Tories form a circular firing squad

Three more days of these grifters...oh and I still haven't received my postal vote...

If true (and it does look to be true from the ad space on the Sun), this demonstrates a startling level of competence and organisation from Labour.

I think it's been widely known that they were largely ready to go. Let's hope it's a decent harbinger for what follows.

Was thinking exactly the same; certainly the Tories’ approach to the same issue is a suitable metaphor for their time in office.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Roll on Friday and give us all something to smile about before Switzerland embarrass us on Saturday

Get onto your Town Hall pronto

The poster who thinks a Starmer led country will be an unmitigated disaster was spectacularly wrong about Brexit, Covid, Johnson and Trump amongst many other things. With that track record and his decision to support the bullshitting fascist Farage I think there’s a fair chance we’re going to have a great few years under Labour.

 

[M18CTID]

It has very much so - Boris been booted out for utter bullshit was our biggest mistake in a generation. Raynor over Boris and people think this is progress. The mind boggles.

Utter bullshit? What was utter bullshit about it? So you're a fan of someone who promoted a sex pest and then lied about knowledge of said sex pest's antics? That's before we get on to all the other lies he's told down the years, including lying to the Queen when he prorogued parliament. Not to mention shitting all over the Queen's grief when he and his mates held a lockdown party the night before her husband's funeral. I can only assume you're attempting to Clarkie us all because surely Boris Fucking Johnson isn't a hill that you'd want to die on.

What quantifies as great for you? Specifics please so we can measure it.

For me, getting back to square one would be great.

 

[west didsblue]

For me, getting back to square one would be great.

Yep. Back to measurable improvements across the board similar to 1997-2008, although I suspect it will take a little longer for improvements to be discernible by most due to the size of the job and the low base we’re starting at.

It was a general comment that was a counterpoint to someone suggesting, without any logical reason, that it would be an unmitigated disaster.
