Detournement

The BBC are shameless these days. Total propaganda.

Ash Sarkar getting Piers Morgan telt. We need far more communism on breakfast tv.

The greens doubling their vote is a strange one. How many seats do Labour get in Scotland in that prediction? It can only be 5 or 6 which seems a bit low given the near misses in the central belt last year.

Hopefully Donald gives us his expert opinion on the Brexit white paper later on.

IEA getting investigated https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/peter-geoghegan/revealed-charity-watchdog-probes-pro-brexit-anti-nhs-think-tank

Similar to some of the shite your party was pedaling to try and stop Scotland gaining it's independence and chain us to this shite Very true. Brown/Darling/Murphy/Cameron/Osbourne/Umunna/Clegg/Alexander/Carmicheal/Davidson/May. All of them represent the same interests.

That's definitely not Project Fear level scaremongering.

Why even bother engaging? It's either someone at the wind up or a remedial.

The new health secretary has received £32,000 in donations from the chairman of the IEA. The IEA is a think tank that campaigns for NHS privatisation. The IEA don't disclose who funds them but it's most likely American private health companies. Human turd Kate Andrews who seems to get more BBC airtime than even Farage also works for the IEA.

The Lib Dems are getting that Quisling feeling. We'll know this is properly on the table when media figures start suggesting 'moderate' Labour MPs should 'put country before party'.

The she followed it up with a retweet for Madeline Albright..... Next week it'll be a selfie at the Bomber Harris statue.

It's going to take at least 70 Labour votes to push this through. To get the votes May will need to opt for a super soft Brexit. Ideally this brings down May and the Blairites before the end of the year. Jess Thicko Phillips was tweeting support for May today.

The ERG loons have rallied and are adamant they won't vote for this. That leaves May relying on the Blairite Labour MPs to get this through.

Is it a crisis? Priti Patel, Rudd and Fallon should have been crisises but the media weren't interested. She'll put Liddington or soneone in to replace him and it'll be business as usual.

Does it matter? Austerity carried on,without an objection from the Party you say should be ending it, they had their chance then and made their decision,and so it continues. Obviously it matters. What happened was that Corbyn stood in the leadership election as an anti austerity candidate and won easily. And in 2017 Labour published a manifesto which if implemented would end austerity.

This'll be the same labour Party,when given the opportunity to vote against austerity sat on their hands. Actions speak louder than words I'm afraid. And what happened after that?

Johnson is toxic now. Any credibility he acquired via his mayorship has been ruined by his performance as Foreign Secretary. Gove is the top Brexiter now but he has obvioulsy been muzzled by Murdoch. They are terrified of an other election.

Things it doesn't cover. IRAQ.

I would say the primary point of Labour at the moment is to end austerity and build a progressive society fit for the challenges of the 21st century. The secondary point is to cause Nick Cohen to completely lose his mind to the point where he's writing his Observer column with jobby crayons. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/07/labour-antisemitism-jeremy-corbyn?CMP=share_btn_tw

According to Ashcroft when the plan was proposed Gove was the first minister to back it. So it obviously has Murdoch's approval.

Westminster leader is basically just a frontman. All the MPs are completely under party control so it's just a PR exercise which Blackford isn't suited to.

Tommy Sheppard was a far better candidate but the SNP MPs went for the percieved safer option in Blackford. I suspect that they felt that Robertson's campaigning style hadn't done them any favours. Alison Thewlis is one of the most impressive elected officials in the UK and will hopefully take a larger role as time passes.

Foulkes is a c**t. The SNP and Labour are competing for the same votes so are unlikely to work together.

It's the same situation as the 2007 Holyrood election. The voting system makes the Tories the kingmakers.

It's obviously a well co-ordinated plan. The World Cup is on, Wimbledon is on, English summer holidays are approaching and there is another Novichok mystery. It's the perfect time to cut the balls off the Brexiteers while the public aren't paying much attention. The oligarch media are bad faith partners but they obviously know they can restart their anti Europe rhetoric any time whereas they have to defeat a socialist Labour Party now.
