I’m just finishing off QT and for an audience of a majority of brexiteers they really didn’t hold back against that egg head Nadhim and his cretinous colleagues. Hopefully the start of the tide turning now.

RIP James Brokenshire, who passed away, aged 53.

Was over in NI for a bit and seemed a decent sort.

Nadhim tows the party line like a good company man but I've liked him more than most of the cabinet

Has forced himself to defend the indefensible too many times in the last 2 years

Pretty standard isn't it?

We hit a crisis. Boris denies it. His followers clap along and agree. A short period of time later he has to do a u-turn or take emergency action. His followers deny action could have been taken sooner and blame other forces, then find a way to turn it to Labour.

Rinse and repeat.

He's a unt just like the rest of them, the cringe defence he makes of Boris is terrible. I don't know why MP's today are so fecking pusssy about admitting their colleagues are making repeat mistakes.

👍👍

Say it quietly, but... NPE has been gracing the Chelsea thread of late. Ssshhhhhhhh!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will have a visit to the Haven.

I did see a reference to NPE, but was not sure about the username there, but politely said hello.

🚨 | NEW: Britain may have won the sausage war with the EU after Brussels offered surrender terms to keep the British banger being sold in Northern Ireland after Brexit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure the entire continent is shocked and upset at this embarrassing defeat

Gawd bless our red, white n blue sausages.

Saw your post on NPE thanks TBAB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I missed it... what was it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wwspd aaked where NPE was....couple of days days back, mate.

I just filled him in, lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NPE has been on the site under a new and nameless account I think. I saw Chelsea posters identify him and he didn't deny it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats his usual method.

Create a new account, leave it nameless, annoy and abuse people, receive so much counter abuse he needs to leave the site for mental health reasons.

Wait 6 months, start back at the top.

Brexit was not just a tory thang and many leavers are not tory....GB news and Farage hammer the tories most days, for example.

Saw that on the haven in a post, about the NPE style of critique on Chelsea Fc, but will have another look, to verify.

He makes a show of it at least. Then delivers them an 80 seat majority in return for a peerage.

Haha.....read the post you responded to, and lighten up, or even, grow up a little, lol.

Arguing or point scoring about every post is banal.

The inference was from arab, brexiters turning on the tory govt, implying a tide turning, when in fact leavers wete also labour and ukip etc.

🚨🚨🚨 | BREAKING: Tory whips have invited Rosie Duffield to join the Conservative Party after she said she has received abuse over her views on trans issues

She said she has no intention of defecting: "I'm Labour through and through"

Via @thetimes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean if MPs want to defect that's their risk and their decision

Trying to pinch an MP while you have an 80seat majority is a bit desperate and weird
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be heralded as an amazing achievement and probably be pushed as the end of Starmer.

I filtered arab on request from other posters, so do not see his comments until folk reply, hence the response to you responding to him, or summat, haha.

I see Starmer has been at it again...

Visits the Kellogg's factory, cracks a joke about being known as "Special K" (slang for ketamine..) and is seemingly oblivious about the ongoing protests and strikes by Kellogg's workers in the US for mistreatment, poor wages and poor working conditions.

He's the fackin labour leader ffs.

Doubt Kier knows about drug slang, buddy.

And he may genuinely not know about the US kelloggs strike too.

Was talking to a guy this week who pointed out how Starmer was not very working class, and that is where labour have lost connection with many people..the very ones a labour leader needs.

Google kellogs and it's the top news stories tbab. Even the most inexperienced of interns would probably have googled the place their leader was going for a photo op?!

It's not even the first time, earlier in the year he did it at that gay hating church, May had made the same mistake two years prior ffs

And whilst I'm sure he didn't realise he was referring to himself as ketamine, I still think displaying such ignorance, in a smug and arrogant way probably isn't the best look for someone trying to connect with the lower classes.

But I disagree with you'd last paragraph, all this nonsense about them losing the working class is based on a brexit election. Where millions of labour voters went to the brexit party to get it done.

It's literally run by fackin unions!! You don't get much more connected to the working class than that

Buuuuullllsheeeet

They won't even provide their source

I know for a fact that 300 MPs and their families have protected themselves from covid by sticking ginger up their bums.

I have a primary source, but won't post it, I trust you still believe me though

Correct me if i am wrong, but the working class vote is not pretty much split 50-50, conservative and labour?

I was not defending Starmer for not knowing about the Kelloggs strike, btw.

Millions of labour voters backed brexit and now vote conservative, is the problem for Corbyn and now Starmer.

I think far more pressing for Starmer is the generation gap. By positioning himself to appeal to over 50 Tory voters, Keir is shedding the under 40 vote.

Meaning he needs to attract even more. He's a lame duck. He won't win an election, he's fecked himself.

Independent paper 12.5.21 reports on how tories became party favoured by majority of working class voters, as the Dec 2019 GE saw those with manual and under 20k annual salary voting tory, by a double digit margin......and at the same time labour attracted more middle class voters.

That is stats and fact, like labour now getting more of the youth vote, students etc.
