CRACE--
" Not for the first time, one of the more interesting contributions came from Ed Davey. He talked of war crimes in Gaza and suggested Benjamin Netanyahu should be hit with sanctions. Starmer was like a rabbit in the headlights. He keeps saying how appalled he is, but his appalledness never reaches a level where he is actually moved to do anything about it. You can imagine him standing by an aid truck doing nothing while the IDF take pot shots at children, tears in his eyes as he says how appalled he is."

Re: Thursday 17th July 2025
Have we reached the point now where having any Labour values at all will get you kicked out of the party while being called a knobhead by some jumped up little shit with more bumfluff than beliefs?
I would think pretty much everyone would see Johnson culling the Tory party of dissenting voices as a cautionary tale for a number of obvious reasons, enforcing loyalty did him absolutely no good in the end and left his party a hollowed out husk. Yet the vindictive control freaks around Starmer appear to be using it as a blueprint.
It must be an increasingly joyless experience to be a Labour backbencher if they hold even a hint of left wing or humanitarian ideals, like being trapped in a loveless marriage, going through the motions for the sake of appearances while resenting every minute of it and suppressing the rage and disappointment. All to protect the political reputation of a man who even half of Labour voters think is a useless prick.

Well that's the first time I've ever watched a football match where 90% of the messages I've sent or received have been about how hot the referee is.

Re: Thursday 17th July 2025
Honest to god that has to be one of the most comically awful penalty shoot outs I've ever witnessed, including ones I was involved in when I was a junior for a team in the Scottish Lowland East South East league which was sponsored by bored crack addicts and a dog with canine tourettes.
It would prowl the edge of pitch barking out obscenities but nobody ever said anything because they were too woke and to be honest he was quite a cute little fellah. Sadly a tragic accident occurred involving a tennis ball and a lawnmower that left a groundsman scarred for life and the league went into administration soon after.
(I genuinely did play for Berwick Rangers juniors and we genuinely did have a dog who ran up and down the side of the pitch barking criticism along with his owner Mr Anderson who was our coach and also my English teacher).

As for Starmer expelling Abbot and the rest.
It's pitiful and is rightly being seen as a sign of weakness. Blair may have expelled Galloway but these twats would have had Robin Cook out on his ear.
I watched some videos of speeches given during the Durham miner's gala last week (for historical family reasons), every single one I saw from councillors to Union officials would get them booted out of the Labour party if they were an MP. It was a celebration of a defiant left which despite a Reform council and a Tory lite government has no intention of going away.
But that doesn't mean they aren't prepared to go somewhere else given an alternative.
An alternative that doesn't shit on the poor, the disabled, immigrants, trans kids, our ecology, our endangered species, the list goes on.
While in opposition Labour vociferously promised to protect all of those things.
Lying cunts.
