Today I paid my membership fee and joined the Lib Dems - 56 yrs a strong and positive Labour supporter. Corbyn has killed my party. Sat with 4 mates over a pint the other night. They too lifelong Lab - no more. What does that tell you? We are all Blairites? All old working class.

Stanley Johnson on BBCR4 today “[Boris] almost took one for the team and we’ve got to make sure we play the game properly now”. A lot of people inn the NHS have in fact "taken one" because of his fuckwit of a son's ineptitude.

To those who think me a traitor. Leaving Labour has been a terrible wrench- it is the party I fought for all my life, and my whole philosophy is based on socialism. I am European. Corbyn’s fence sitting has helped Putin and Bannon in their project to destroy EU - it will fail.

Fifty years ago today, on 1 January 1973, the United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community. A Tory civil war ripped us out via a campaign of lies, propaganda, Russian money and a bent press. It is a disastrous mistake but no senior politician will admit it. We're fucked

My team saw your video @JacindaArdern - so no harm in some friendly competition 😉. Here’s my attempt to get through some of my Scottish Government’s headline achievements in under two minutes. Start the clock!

@allisonpearson I don’t know what qualifications Nye Bevan had beyond being a miner but he was one of the finest politicians and human beings of the last 100 years.

@LSwitlyk Well done - you shot a sheep. Easier than shooting a fish in a barrel since sheep tend to stand still eating grass. You, Mighty Hunter, with thousands of dollars worth of gear shot something that hardly moves / you won't eat / but killing it made you feel good. Arsehole.

The Right are blubbing at being loathed/detested. As they say in Ireland "Cop on lads" You tanked the economy, sold off oil and gas etc, gave us child poverty, foodbanks, worst Covid record in the world, Brexit not done & 3 of the worst PMs ever - all with Russian money.

As a recovering Catholic I was only slightly surprised to find that both Mogg and IDS are fervent RCs. Both are utterly smug and heartless bastards who embrace the theology not of Christ but of Ayn Rand - as does Bannon who is now working to smear Pope Francis. Schismatics?

@MattHancock Hello Mr Halfcock. I downloaded your App and put it in my iPhone and set off to the park for my exercise but the sat nav on the phone kept taking me to Barnard Castle. I told it to move on but it told me to piss off. Can you help?

There is only one just way out of this mess: an EU extension and a 2nd ref. The games Cummings is playing brings a disaster closer by the day. Why the rush to get Brexit done? The EU Tax Avoidance Directive, effective 2020, would hang people like Mogg and Odie up by the balls.

I cant believe that Owen Jones is blaming us Remainers for the Brexit shitstorm - that's like standing in the Colosseum and blaming the Christians for being eaten by the lions or blaming the passengers when the drunk driver takes the bus over the cliff.

So the report on Russian political meddling in our democracy is kept under wraps until next Spring and the police inquiry into The Dangerous Clown using our taxes for shag money is closed until after the election. BBC doing a major exposé on this? Telegraph screaming for truth?

Never ever say "It can't happen here." It can. Germany was a highly civilised nation with great art/music/ culture/ education. All it took was 1 populist psychopath (Adolph) 1 Scapegoat (the Jews) and all bets were off. You think we'll be any different?

Labour is now officially the party of neutrality. So why would anybody ever bother voting for them? The manifesto may be fine but Labour will never be elected on this ticket. The libdems will pick up the Remainers the BP the Leavers. Goodbye Labour. Death of a once great party.

Keir Starmer is the only hope we have in these dangerous days. If you don't like that and think that someone else - a melange of McClusky and Jesus is going to come along and lead us to the Promised Land you are much mistaken.

Exactly this. It is normal procedure for the Speaker to be knighted. The Dangerous Clown is also a Spiteful Clown. Ye gods! What a shower of hi-born shite governs us now!

@rcolvile @MarinaHyde He didn't "almost die of covid" was never on a ventilator and was only in the ICU because he was PM. Neither you nor I have access to his medical records but "almost dead" Covid patients generally are not up and running 5 days later. As for a rest - from what? He does fuck all.

Catching up on the superb The Rise of the Nazis BBC 2 2 things struck me immediately A / Hitler was lazy, hated reading briefs, spoke in long ramblng monologues and was a "useful idiot" until he took over B / The fascists prorogued the Reichstag to close down debate. Resonance?

Unless I've read the data completely wrong it would seem that Pfizer gives around 80% immunity and AZ only 60% immunity to the India Variant. If this is true it ain't good news and to release the Data on a Saturday Night while Eurovision is on TV looks nasty - or am I paranoid?
