Genuinely don't understand how Keir Starmer is just so...boring, at least from an outsider's perspective. Hell, even that Milliband guy was funny now and then.

You met with paramilitaries a few days ago then pulled a stunt to try and prevent border posts at docks from being built, i wonder how long your desire for guerrilla warfare remains in the "Political context" you bunch of vile incompetent ballbags.

Friendly reminder that in 1994 Sammy Willson called UDA plans for repartitioning Northern Ireland into a wholly Protestant State and forcefully removing the remaining catholic population a "Valuable return to reality"

Have the DUP leaders removed and the party pronounced as a terrorist organization.

While I'm sure many would take great glee in seeing the DUP on the proscribed organizations list and Arlene Foster marched off in irons I doubt this incident will result in that.

Salmondgate rumbles on, with both Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservatives accusing Nicola Sturgeon of lying to the Scottish Parliament.

While all this is embarrassing for the SNP, the general lack of confidence in Scottish Labour is such that I think they can feel fairly secure that their voters will continue to back them, regardless of whether Sturgeon is forced to resign.

Ed Miliband doesn't have the badass style to be a Chaos Lord. He could be a rank-and-file Cultist and even then he'll be one of the unpopular ones who doesn't get to hang out with the daemonettes of Slaanesh.

Wonder when that "she lied to the parliament so needs to resign immediately" logic will be applied by the Conservatives to Westminster. :roll:

Oops, there's some Labour bureaucratic nonsense that we seem to have missed.

A new mayor of Liverpool needs to be elected, since the last one turned out to be bent. A shortlist of three candidates came forward, except then the shortlist was scrapped and the people on it barred from standing. Labour have failed to explain why this is.

Shaun Bailey, Conservative candidate for the mayor of London, says people would blow UBI on lots of drugs


Yeah i know the Mirror is leftwing, but the only other source i could find that works was the Enfield Independent, and i dont know much about that one, so if someone has another article feel free to throw it at me.

I can't work out whether the Conservatives thought the useless sod was somehow a viable candidate or if they just concluded they had no hope and sent someone useless out to die they could pin all the blame for using on.
