In a move described by ThinkLabour as “totally above board,” Josh Simons has graciously stepped aside to let Andy Burnham contest his Makerfield seat in a by-election.
I think it's the law now that you can't discuss Labour policy without prefacing every remark with the tag "Now look..." to show you're serious and businesslike.
And it's definitely against the law to mention Labour Friends of Israel.
Please report yourself to the appropriate authorities for a course in Blairification.
I might point out that nothing in the legal system is a Law... The whole of that system, originally the pirate "law of the sea," brought onto land through the sewer system, is nothing but legalates - the number of which no One knows, but We're expected to know the content of them all. (Ignorance of the "law" is no excuse.)
They're called "laws" to get Us to think We MUST obey, but they are all, to a one, legalates.
There are three and only three Laws.
The three Laws of Ethics (Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do):
1. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther
2. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone
3. Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)
Another Farage then…. The fact that Reform is doing so well is, to me, the reason why there needs to be an urgent overhaul of the education system AND curriculum both in the UK and the US.
A right-wing, genocidally-racist, Zionist hijacks the leadership of a centre-left party, rather than risk letting the population swing from an imploding right wing party, to a popular leftist?
Then he attacks free speech — and his own base — in service to Israel, making himself more unpopular than anthrax?
Then he refuses to step down, and tries to hand power to someone who "can't think of anything" they would do differently?
Because he would rather facilitate the election of clinically-imbecilic, literal fascists, than allow the people any measure of genuine representation?
That doesn't sound familiar at all, and I don't see a problem. 🤷🏻♀️
Will anyone be capable of surprise by the time Mark Carney hands off power to Canada's fascist wannabe-American-idiots? When can I vote for Green Day.
I'd love to say that I'm glad the UK has the same problems with dangerously worthless/unbelievably corrupt scum, but it really doesn't give me any joy. Watching great nations fall simply because a few traitorous dirtbags pushed out everyone interested in serving the public's interests is soul crushingly depressing.
Genius article, Laura! You keep improving my education in UK politics. But it’s so complicated! You know what you guys need? A King, like we have! So much easier! We Americans don’t need to vote or think or anything anymore!
What will we use as a new political idiom if Burnham U-turns and announces original, non-establishment, policies? A "double U turn"? (for Westminster)? I could think of worse analogies for a U with a bend in it...

For New Labour, like their democrat soulmates in the US, all problems can be solved with better PR.

Burnham is no different he is friends of Isnotreal
He’s not a Mancunian. More of a scouser.
I honestly don't know what the difference between a Scouser and Mancunian is. The furthest north I'm brave enough to travel is Oxford x
So much the better!
It’s important to be accurate. I speak as a Mancunian.

"ThinkLabour." Like thinkdouble? Just take Orwell's doublethink, flip it over, and insert the Party name? Is that what they did?
Never mind. Of course it's what they did. I wouldn't be surprised if they got the idea from an American Democrat.
So we haven’t reached peak rubbish politician yet?
