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.

It’s a sad reflection of the state of British politics.

 

 

I think it's a pretty good outcome.

They've elected someone from a party who get ignored in the HoC and who's policies have no chance of ever reaching the statute book.

She - if she wants to retain her seat - will have to focus on local issues to maintain her popularity through to the real election; the area probably has enough problems to keep her busy.

Don't think Reform will be too disappointed. OK, they didn't win, but that means they don't get associated with any (more) shit that the national government throws at their local counterparts.

Labour coming 3^rd though? Behind 2 parties that didn't even exist when I first became eligible to vote? That's gotta sting.

The winning candidate is a white working class plumber who seems to be concerned with the interests of ordinary people
She didn’t say Return to your allotments & prepare for government… but should have

47% turn out, Labours vote of 50% in this constituency last time cut to 25%. Keir’s decision to black ball Burnham cost them the seat. He is on the way out after the coming May debacle 
Reform didn’t win because they stood a particularly gormless candidate 
Conservatives with 1.9% of the vote and lost their deposit

Blimey, the greens actually won that by election!
Not sure who will be more pissed off out of labour and reform.

A by election decided by idiots who think Gaza matters, what has this country become when a war that has nothing to do with us decides an election.

Then you have woman interviewed in that constituency from Muslim backgrounds saying their husbands sorted out the voting in their household.

Sharia law anyone?

Yeah, but, Awwww, bless 'em. We are civilised. They are just uneducated peasants from a third world background. Give them the chance and they'll get there

Here you go!

great news for paedo's & sex offenders, would you not agree?

I'm sure not even 2-Tier can be that serially stupid.

I strongly suspect favours handed out to him by others earlier in his life are now being called in.

I see the weakling Keir has been bounced into appointing a woman , Antonia Romeo. as cabinet secretary 
She was the UK consul general in New York a decade ago where there were multiple complaints about bullying of staff (usually young women) and her use of expenses
Another lapse of judgment, another Mandelson 
No word of her involved with Epstein which I guess is one positive 

[Eerie Decent]

The hypnotist tit juggler is leading that party.

[BRANDED]

At the moment we have the:

Greens: Hamas party of Britain
Labour: Islamic Brotherhood of Britain
Other Leftists: Islamic Hamas for ever party of Britain
Liberals: Wet idiot middle class centrist Dads of Britain
Conservatives: Failed leftists of Britain

And an ever growing bunch of right of centre parties vying for the traditional normies who think the rest went fucking mental. Reform seem to be willing to accept any normal person they can find.

I see that no one has proposed setting up a Pro-immigration political party yet.

Strange, given that so many seem to support, and even actively encourage, all sorts of immigrants & immigration into the country.

they have but the Party has hit a hitch (Corbyn & his Islam MP mates)... hold on, it looks like one has run off with the dosh.

The potential delay in the minimum wage rise, is only for the 18 - 24 age bracket, not the rest of the working population.

that's ok then, it's only the 'young'... a brief respite for Employers then who have additional cost trust upon them from the Gov.

[Westside]

I see that the government are considering delaying the introduction of the minimum wage rise because, along with all the other shit they've thrown at businesses over the past few months has made it less attractive to take on more staff.

But it's not a U-turn, oh, no, matey-peeps. It's...err... a gentle touch on the brakes...yes, that's exactly what it is...a gentle touch on the brakes.

No shit, Sherlock!

Where the fuck did/does the government think that the money will come from to pay for all their "Oh! So Caring" ideology?

"The Sudanese national, who arrived in the UK in 2012 and has 29 pevious convictions for 67 offences under his name"


In fairness to him, you can't say he hasn't fully embraced the new culture that the country represents.

Sudanese immigrant get non-custodial sentence for threatening a Christian preacher  with a knifehaving already pulled him off a ladder at Speakers Corner. How culturally enriching and what a triumph for the British legal system. 

Sudanese asylum seeker who threatened Christian preacher with a knife spared jail

Happy Ramadan!
Be sure not to eat in public, gotta be mindful of our Muslim neighbours.

Did anyone see Farage in Romford yesterday?

Was He Taking A Liberty?

Not sure if he went in there. but did read that he went in the pie 'n' mash in South Street, but could be bollocks.

South Street? Hope he wasn't doing an Ian Dury tribute tour around the Shopping Arcade...

Now having to u-turn on cancelling local Elections with the support of the Cons, thanks to Farage and Reform. Going down as 1 of the worst Government's in history.
