Likewise, I get a vote and feel similarly, maybe slightly more positively to Nandy. I gave her my first preference with the full expectation of Starmer winning and being competent and broadly getting on with the media, which is at least a step forward. Goodness knows this government could do with a passable opposition.

The deputy leader candidates were a bit more interesting, for all the role matters.

I don't have a dog in the fight but FWIW I hope Starmer gets it just to make Johnson look a bell end weekly at PMQ's. I have seen QC's pulverise bull shitters and its great fun as long as you are not on the end of it.

Nah, Johnson will just go into full on shouty mode and quote numbers back like he normally does.

KS might be skilful enough to set the trap in the question though.

Anyway, the most important thing is that the guy who keeps asking for city status for Southend will one day get his way.

Pretty grim reading https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-far-right-boris-johnson-immigration-identity-tommy-robinson-a9369041.html

In lighter news I see he has been nicked for having a fight at Center Parcs, nothing says patriot like scrapping at a family holiday resort!

Just how pathetic has this country (and its media) become

From the FT



As for the Telegraph, its just a sad nationalist comic these days.

Thing is they are only printing this nonsense as they know it will appeal to the core audience!

I had marmite on toast so am expecting the knock at the door for re-education and the internment shortly.

I had no idea that a full English could have so many people triggered (on twitter).

Not seen much triggering, a lot of piss taking however.

The highlight so far has been a parody Mark Francois account having to explain a joke to James 'not so' Cleverly.

Anyway regardless of what you think of that,  the way the TR brigade are out in force defending their  man a is a predictibly OTT. You know - Police arrest Tommy but "let the paedo off" ..

Er, perhaps the Police have more facts than you.. I dunno...

And perhaps Yaxley Lennon has a track record of lying about this kind of stuff to generate outrage and more donations. Those million pound houses don't buy themselves, it takes 1000s of gullible angry frothing middle aged men clicking on Facebook and PayPal to do that. There are some people who almost want to be conned aren't there?

Nice to see we are literally deploying gunboats against our neighbours... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/royal-navy-uk-waters-fishing-brexit-vessels-protect-a9374496.html

How frightfully 19th century.

It’s getting a bit tasty on the Turkey-Greek border with the Syrian migrants in the middle.

Has all the hallmarks of turning into something nasty.
