Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces

'Traditional conservatism' is anything Tory that people remember not having a visceral hate-reaction to before the culture war dividing lines poisoned everything.
Not sure when that started. Definitely after 2010. I want to enshrine this as the British culture war ur-text.
We had about two living under the threat of 'populism' before the pandemic, and since then we've had record immigration (legal and illegal), hosing money at every problem, unilateral Culture War disarmament, and a stupid foreign war that has heralded a return to government by George Osborne via backbench non-entities not liking who the membership wanted as leader. This is 'traditional conservatism', and the incoming Labour government will be mostly the same except for putting Lenny Henry on coins.
This really doesn't seem like a great line for Labour to be taking.
There was another one the other day about the PM's stay in some hotel somewhere costing whatever amount. Someone else worked out the per person cost given the probable size of his team with him and it was pretty reasonable. Unless you want the leader of the country to be staying at the Premier Inn or something.
And given there's already stuff going round about how much Starmer spent on chauffeurs as DPP, it just seems like they're making a rod for their own back. But, as Jonesy says, they have no fucking ideas, the useless cunts.
Expense fiddling / excessive office spending is a very weird attack line, as MPs in every party do it and will always do it, so you'll only end up hoisted by your own petard.
Yeah this is stupid. The Telegraph will unearth Lammy expensing Mars bars in record time if this gathers pace.
I read a bit of this the other day and saw that some money had been spent on USB sticks. The definition of nothing to see here.
The Prime Minister should have their own jet and stay in the best hotels. They get a shit salary and live in a dump.
Given what useless cunts they are a shit salary and living in a dump is more than they deserve.
Turgeon has gone. Is this because she couldn’t answer the question of whether that rapist bloke is a woman or not?
Even speaking as someone who thinks the trans activism stuff has run mad, it can't be that, can it?
Did see something on Twitter that she was caught having an affair and managed to hush it for a while, but is getting out now before it all comes out.
Mhairi Black. Here We Go.
The SNP have peaked so she wants out before it looks like she let it all collapse.
The most successful politician in British history. What a man (woman?)
SNP is finished. Labour rout 2024.
Doubt SNP fade away. Probably 30-40 seats.
If you're the leader of a single issue party and you fail in your objective then I would say that's rather unsuccessful.Originally Posted by Waffdon

She wasn’t in charge when it failed. Dominated ever since she took over.
I think this is a large part of it. Even though Labour are barely a unionist party in any worthwhile sense, and their plans for further devolution are an embarrassment worthy of assassinating Gordon Brown, if they're going to win the election then Scottish Conservative voters might as well go with them to knock the SNP off a bunch of seats and set them back twenty years.
Scottish Tories are apparently delighted at the news, which seems a bit optimistic to me. I don't see how they manage to flip the urban seats given their current perception. As you say, they'll likely just revert to Labour.
Failed to get independence. Failed to get a referendum. Failed trying to get the Courts to allow it.
Dominant indeed.
Correct.
Who will free Scotland now?
Isla Bryson.
The SNP peaked with this:
The main story on bbc is about a fucking glacier
We really are in the gobshite generation.
As soon as Boris Johnson got the tin tack, the writing was on the wall. Their only hope of revival now is if he (or someone like him) gets back in.
As the last few hundred years have shown, the Scot's willingness to do a deal that suits his pocket is far greater than his willingness to re-enact the battle of Bannockburn. The deal in this case will be with Keir Starmer's Labour.
It's about Sturgeon on the UK site. The dog walker somehow STILL second. And this a very on trend third.The main story on bbc is about a fucking glacier

Forgot about the shit international version. We have - glacier (still for generation idiot), cave boy dies, Berlusconi, Barney reboot.
I remember being on holiday in Spain when Catalan held their illegal referendum. I basically couldn't get any news from back home for a week, because it was just hundreds of articles about whether the Basque lot were going to kick off and if the airports were safe.
I don't know why they bother. Nobody in Spain gives a fuck about the BBC other than Brits on holiday, and they're not on the BBC for Spanish politics.

I only ever use it for soccer or to see what you lot are saying about Boydys shower.
The thing that freaks me out most about BBC abroad is how ad-supported it is.
One of the most intrusive sites going. I’ve been pulling my wire to sites with less popup ads.
Don't you lot use ad-blockers?
Don’t use enough sites that need them or will take them.
Junior doctor strike ballot results
All I take from this is that 21 doctors are too retarded to complete a voting slip properly.
They're GPs in training.
716 spineless cunts.
Good. £14/hr for an F1 is an absolute disgrace. Don’t care about the public perception or the inevitable media backlash.
ChatGPT can replace the fucking useless wankers as it is.
Health Secretary saying he’s very disappointed
Surprised it was only 21 considering GP standard handwriting. [Classic doctor joke]
Ffs.
There's an inverse relationship between how neat a doctor's handwriting looks at a glance and how legible it is in my experience.
Jesus christ.
That's pretty much poverty in London is it not?
Comfortably out earning a doctor./
That is absolutely ridiculous.
