Hot on the heels of whispering Starmer's Speaker subterfuge in view to curry favour with peaceful Gaza-adjacent 'protestors', it seems as though ol' George Galloway decided to go one better and stick it to his former Labour pals by winning the Rochdale by-election with the Workers Party of Britain!
Quite how the cat cosplayer intends to make his case for Gaza in Parliament is unclear, but it does seem to signify the ability to steal off what could be future Labour hotspots, for better or for worse, and how easily it can be achieved....
Miaow?...

Another stunning development on Twitter as Keir Starmer and veteran rapper Ice-T of all people have a spat.
Legend has it Starmer criticised Ice-T's musical influence and blurb as having a 'corrosive effect on the youth', with the latter being completely oblivious to the fact that it was posted via a spoof Twitter account named Women4Wes.
This in turn drew the ire of Ice-T, who in turn responded with, quote, "F this clown".
Imagine being this wrong, yet so right!

The main culprit being our very own cash-srrapped NHS, which wastes thousands pushing this dangerous ideology on its own workforce: and millions on transformation/surgery under the coy banner of "specialised commissioning".There are enablers and peope pushing this shit, trying to convince people it's normal. And the slippery slope of degeneracy as a result of people ignoring it being pushed, is all too plain to see.
A story in four parts. Same writer, same newspaper.
To give credit to Starmer and co, they played their cards just right on Brexit. All they had to do was sit back, not make much in the way of controversial noises, and wait for the whole thing to fall apart, and take the Tories with it.
Or in other words, they listened to what all those experts were saying, and unlike Gove, who said we were bored of them and should ignore them, they were like, 'OK, well if these guys are right, and they're the experts after all, literally all we have to do, is wait'.

Yes, taking four separate articles out of context to form a little narrative chain, when the last article literally begins with "Britain’s decline over the past 25 years has been staggeringly rapid"
So going by his apparent overview, we can safely assume Labour started the decline a decade prior to the Tories then, no?
Other mentions include a Socialist NHS - so nothing new there - crumbling public services, modern life apathy (technology), rampant rent increases, general attitude shifts in a quarter of a century, culture wars, the 'Green' agenda bequeathed upon people etc, amongst other things.
And still.....nothing about Brexit
But to his credit, he definitely got it right with "The Tories have been abysmal, but Labour will be even worse".
Now that's great insight!
For sure it's a bit cheeky of me to link them together like that, but one of the biggest cheerleaders for Brexit is hardly going to identify it as one of the culprits as to the cause of the UK's current situation. What is not controversial, is to say it's cost the UK around 5% of its GDP, which represents tens of billions pounds in lost trade and taxes, as well as being one of driving forces behind inflation. (And as mack notes above, we've just replaced EU immigration with non-EU immigration.)
Brexit is certainly not the only cause of the UK's current ills, it's one of many factors, but as per the living standards chart I posted a couple of weeks ago, this is the only parliament since 1955 where UK living standards have fallen.
It's not even like it makes me happy to be 'right' on this (I mean, I didn't know a fucking thing about any of this stuff back in 2016, I just deferred to the people who were clearly experts in the field, that's the point of having experts, after all), because the fact that Brexit has failed means that the UK has taken a serious body blow and sustained heavy damage as a result, which since I'm, y'know, a Brit myself, doesn't make me jump for joy.
Cleverly is a complete twat.Here's someone who did actually go to Rwanda, James Cleverly spent £165K of public money flying there and back to sign a document.
Total costs of the Rwanda scheme are shaping up to be around half a billion pounds. Bargain!
So far of course, they've sent precisely no one there. Well, apart from James Cleverly. Suella had a jolly out there too didn't she.

Here's what twelve years of austerity look like.
New Labour weren't perfect, not by a long chalk, but in 2010 you could easily see your doctor, and if you went to A&E you were almost guaranteed to be seen within four hours. If you called an ambulance you'd almost always have one at your door in a few minutes if you were in the most serious category for attendance.
