10,000th post. Congrats! 🙂

Feel a bit undeserving tbh, but glad that this milestone post was used to slag off a useless fucking Tory.

On my computer it suggests Mr Reeves has only 3381 posts?

Nadim Zahawi on Radio 4 this morning "defending" Robert Jenrick tried to claim that Richard Desmond didn't get special access to ministerial influence in return for bags of cash for the Tory Party. When he was asked how ordinary members of the public could gain access to MPs and ministers to ensure favourable consideration for their planning or business interests, Zahawi suggested that members of the public could simply go to Tory fundraising dinners and then they too could talk to MPs. Because that's how democracy works. Corrupt to the core.

Not as impressive as Bristol (Colston) City have over a 1300 page thread on their neighbours!

Its getting ever smellier, are we supposed to think it was an entire coincidence that he happened to be seated next to Jenrick, Desmond also has close friends higher up the food chain although that's rather being ignored.



In a way, the most depressing thing is how cheap the whole thing was, basically to save their party donor £45m CIL which would have gone to one of the most deprived borough's in London the Tories only took £12k.

You don't send a text after meeting someone for the first time which says “We don’t want to give the Marxists loads of doe (sic) for nothing!” if you haven't been encouraged! Actually reading that back, perhaps LL is actually Richard Desmond?

£45m is a lot of doe. Quite deer, in fact

See Maxine Peake is busy today, blaming anyone who didn't vote Labour for the Tories winning and reinforcing the belief that many hard core Corbynistas are a bit anti-Semiticy

This might be why No 10 hasn't thrown Jenrick to the wolves, despite the obvious corruption:

It always keeps coming back to Russia, doesn't it? Remember the report into Russian interference in UK politics and the influence of organised crime? Due to be released in October but Johnson kyboshed it until after the election? 6 months on and still not released. Corrupt to the core.

Being critical of Isreal's domestic and foreign policy is not anti-semetic.

Being critical of Isreal's domestic and foreign policy is not anti-semetic.

It seems that as soon as anyone disagrees with something Israel does then thats automatically classed as anti semetic, and it really isn't.

She wasn't being critical of Israel's domestic and foreign policy, she just mysteriously dropped a well known dog whistle/conspiracy theory in that really didn't need to be said and is not actually backed up by any evidence*.

She would do so much more for Labour if she just kept quiet as it just allows the stuff about her tax affairs to be rolled out again (and again).

* there is an AI report that links the training of US police by Israeli forces, however it makes no mention of the technique used on George Floyd, nor does it say Minneapolis PD is among those to send officers for training so god know why she felt the need to raise it.
