Uk Affairs - Sterling is taking a Pounding

The issue as it’s come up this time is that Mandelson never passed vetting, starmer wasn’t told this (or maintains he wasn’t), the head of the foreign office who didn’t tell him has resigned because of this. I mean, the buck can’t stop with you on something you’ve not been informed of/were deliberately misled on, right?

This is separate to whether it was a bad decision to appoint Mandelson who h obviously it was.

Whatever you say about the members of the HOC at least they have the look of parliamentarians about them, each and every one of them.
When you compare the sartorial efforts of our elected representatives we don’t really measure up flat fucking caps and all….

Gilets, porter-stained shirts hanging out, tieless muldoons, caps and a large number of over-fed bog warriors make us look like a colony of escapees.

Starmer is talking through his hole here and they’re having trouble nailing him.

Starmer is like Micheál Martin. If you think he’s bad, wait until you see what’s below him and wants to take over, and I don’t mean Andy Burnham.

Wes Streeting would be a shitlib Liz Truss.

Time for Ange Rayner to launch a heave??

She has to sort out her tax affairs first, I understand the stamp duty stuff is still unresolved. She will be back then.

Burnham probably has the least baggage but needs a sacrificial lamb to get elected

Kinda says it all really that with 403 MPs they want the guy who isn’t an MP to be leader.

I wonder what he’s going to say? Maybe he will step down, I don’t think he wants to be a serious politician and actually have to do anything.

His main activity is grifting, no more about it

I see there’s speculation he might step down to trigger a by-election so he can run again and get a new mandate.

An absolute and utter wanker.

Whatever Farage says will be a load of vacuous Nazi wank. An utterly pathetic traitor to his own country.

But that’s what people want, apparently.

Saying he became an MEP because he wanted to leave the EU. Prick.

This is even more toe-curlingly shameless than you can imagine

I am an influencer with 7 million followers

Yes I have had a lottery win, a large personal gift, but we want people who know how to make money

STANDARDS are now being used as a tool in politics

I NEED THAT MONEY BECAUSE I AM OPPRESSED

WOE IS ME

THE MOST OPPRESSED PERSON EVER

Farage

He wishes :joy:

So he isn’t resigning then?

So triggering a by-election so he can run again.

The country is a shambles.

Nazism is vanity, self-pity and spectacle.
