Sort of extraordinary that there is only one obvious precedent for a prime minister winning a landslide election victory and then seeming like toast just two years later ... and it's the election *immediately* before this one.
Yes, isnโt it strange how general elections keep being won by frauds that the public swiftly come to despise? And none of the people who loudly said that one or both of them would be great can explain what went wrong? Just a real head-scratcher there

This is what politics should feel like: thoughtful, honest and shaking things up.
Hannah Spencer is going to be a brilliant MP for Gorton & Denton.
It's time to stop Reform in their tracks:

Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform.
And the Greens have plans to lower bills, protect the NHS and rebuild our public services.

Screenshot of news article from 2019 from The I Paper headlined โWhy Corbynโs mispronunciation of Epsteinโs name matters to British Jewsโ
Remember when Starmer and his allies in press spent weeks claiming Corbyn was an antisemite because he mispronounced Epsteinโs surname?
Just a reminder of the batshit media environment that brought us here.

Since Labour has been in government under Starmer it's proactively aided genocide, the worst conceivable of human crimes. What bigger mistake and moral dereliction is there than that?

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."
Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

McSweeney is gone, Blue Labour going to go into overdrive now to save itself
If the Labour party has ANY chance to survive it needs to apologise for the last two years and actually be a party of "the Left"
The "Right" was resoundingly rejected last election, so why did we get a RW gov for 2 yrs?

"McSweeney masterminded Starmerโs path to Downing Street..."
Yet to see a mainstream outlet follow this with the truth:
"... on a platform based on brazen lying to Labour members and voters, making promises he always intended Starmer to abandon as soon as he had power to shift hard to the right."

Good riddance to Morgan McSweeney for so many reasons, but principally for being an immigrant responsible for relentlessly pushing an anti-immigrant agenda, and for reproducing Fine Gaelโs negative, joyless political machine within Labour (an open door, one could say). Power without principles.

As if his day is not, almost certainly, bad enough, McSweeney is now being mocked on the internet by other Irish people for calling England โour great country.โ
