Better or worse than the wilted head of lettuce?
The karma of it all. Perhaps Jeremy Corbyn will be on hand to help him through the agony of a knife in the back?
🤣 These guys are obsessed with Jeremy Corbyn.
Weird that they’re so obsessed with the labour party when Corbyn has his whole new one
- Elected to lead the party
- Shit at leading the party
- Nobody wants him to lead the party any more
it’s a conspiracy
Yes there was literally a conspiracy by the right-wing of labour to sabotage Corbyn https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-leak-report-corbyn-election-whatsapp-antisemitism-tories-yougov-poll-a9462456.html

despite this he still garnered more votes in his loss than Starmer did in his victory
Hopefully Burnham learned a lesson and moves the party left back to it’s socialist roots, rather than the stammer policy of running to the right on every issue trying to keep up with the Tories/reform/restore’s racist populism
It seems to us that many on both the Left and the Right were (and in many cases still are) so firmly convinced of being the wronged party that all evidence of failings within their own faction was dismissed. The reality of what happened in this period is much more nuanced; many (though not all) of the issues came down to poor communication and paranoia rather than bad faith actors.
And:
Did HQ staff stick to a defensive strategy in bad faith, because they wanted to lose the election? No. We find that HQ staff genuinely considered that a primarily defensive strategy would secure the best result for the Party, and we have not seen evidence to suggest that such a strategy was advanced in bad faith. More broadly the evidence available to us did not support claims that HQ staff wanted the Party to do badly in the 2017 general election (though many expected it to, and some had mixed feelings about what the better than anticipated result would mean for the Party’s future and for their own roles).
The transcripts show that Mr Corbyn’s economic adviser Ali Moussavi said of Mr Corbyn to other senior staff in 2015: “We need to finish him.”
And:
A press officer responded: “Hanging and burning does seem like overkill.” Then head of broadcasting Jo Green said that any Labour MP “who nominates Corbyn ‘to widen the debate’ deserves to be taken out and shot.” Then policy communications officer Dan Hogan added that a staff member who “whooped” during Corbyn’s speech “should be shot.”
And senior staff member Sarah Mulholland said she hoped that a young Labour member on the left of the party, who it was acknowledged has mental-health issues, “dies in a fire.” Then audit director Mike Creighton responded: “That’s a very bad wish, Sarah. But if he does I wouldn’t piss on him to put him out.”

where are your excerpts from?
They’re from the Forde report that you linked.
The waste is throwing in the towel less than halfway through over nothing.
Are you confident he will do anything other than help trump attack Iran, promote islamaphobia and violence against refugees, help the rich get richer and promote discrimination against trans people? If you think he will continue all these things as all evidence shows why do want him in office longer?
Do you think he did anything else while PM or is that list the sum total of how you’ll remember his premiership?
Also… Do you reckon there’s a future in which the UK PMs actions on all these issues are closer aligned to what you’d want?
Not “sum total” but he did all these things and more in their genres and they vastly harm almost everyone so yes its a good summary. As for your second question what exactly do you mean?
Appointing a known ‘best pal’ of Jeffery Epstein to the most powerful ambassadorship position is nothing in your mind?
I mean if you’re going to have an ambassador to Trump, someone who was also friends with Epstein almost sounds appropriate…
No you shouldn’t want your countries interests represented by a pedo actually is my radical take.
However, he did make for a bunch of hilarious. SNLUK skits.
Like waste, into the loo, along with others like him.
waste of food and water too
