"This is about respecting traditions," she almost certainly went on to say. "Conservatives traditionally favour brown paper envelopes, and Labour leaders expect cheques to feature five or more figures. A blank will get me absolutely nowhere..." 😉
A couple of things worth noting about this graphic: 1) Why are the three grey bars immediately prior to Starmer so impressive? 2) The tiny note about donations below £500 not counting means the popular support from ordinary voters goes unseen. I wonder why...
This is absolutely hilarious! have you ever seen Sir Keir Starmer dressed like this before? Where on earth could he have got the idea...? 😆🤣😂
Screenshot of responses to reply by someone who blocked me for my reference. They said something along the lines of Burnham was 'technically correct'...
Oh, it's worth exploring this account more. The linked 'weblog' has some real gems, such as this exploration of Chessington World of Adventures' origin as a zoo:
NOTE: When I feel a block coming, I screenshot so the thread will still make sense to me. I'm not especially proud of this one as I end up pretty much trolling my adversary, but I always want a record of what I can't see on my own thread. Detailed ALT text is not necessary as this is for me only.
Around 3 million people used food banks to feed their family in the UK last year, a fact Reform racists blame some of the poorest, most vulnerable people in the country for. Meanwhile:
BBC headline: Sir Keir Starmer's premiership in six charts www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... You don't need 6 charts when a single pie chart will do:
Honestly, it's exactly as though he were wearing commemorative jubilee dinner plates as lapels...
King Charles' personal rack of medals at Trooping the Colour 2026 represent... absolutely nothing at all that he has actually done. Here they are: • King's Service Order • His mother's Coronation Medal (1953) See next post...
Even Caligula had to travel to the Colosseum to sate his bloodlust. Trump brings the Colosseum to his doorstep.
Capitalism is a conspiracy which threatens to kill us all. Socialism is the solution. #SocialistSunday
It's pretty sick trying to destroy the reputation of a child victim of sex trafficking. Prince Andrew paid £10million to get out of a trial - taxpayer money ultimately. That's exactly the behaviour of an innocent man, right? The power dynamic here is no issue either - the girl likes playing dead...
This is on the front page of The Telegraph today... The asterisked 'as imagined by' shows the lengths they will go to.
The State Opening of Parliament today is not really about tradition and pageantry; it's about the boot grinding down on our backs. Look at the gold, as 1 in 3 children grows up in poverty. 🤮 Quirky fact (did you know): an MP is taken hostage by the army to ensure the safety of the monarch...
He doesn't need camouflage. You could stick him on a platform under a spotlight in the middle of No Man's Land with a dartboard hat and nobody would notice he was there.
Filming has started on the latest Paddington Movie: Paddington in Denial.
The Pope must be so glad to get back to the Vatican and normality following his recent tours... 😇
No, sickly racism bots are a problem. It's such a shame that this sad, fearful little racist boylad spends time spreading his hatefear through a bot account. 😿
See the bots flock... This is good news, The Establishment is rattled for a reason.
Who do you support? The guy who made these promises to become Labour leader, then dumped them (I won't even start on lies since PM)? But you think Zack claiming he was a British Red Cross spokesperson is worse? BTW, I think they do a really good job, which makes me their spokesperson too...
I have zero interest in anything you have to say about anything at all. I have the whole conversation screenshot, including the bits where you spout misogyny. I don't like to block, because it removes all comments from sight, breaking up threads, but if you don't fuck off now, I will.
Literally nobody cares what a poorly programmed bot account posts. 🤖
Here's the re-posted tweet. Which important words have I missed which, as you say 'absolved the stabber of any accountability for their actions'?
And you excuse Starmer's dishonesty as 'political paradox' while defending his Lords' appointments as 'justifiable.' Ok, I understand the level of disingenuous 'centrist' right-wingerism I'm dealing with.
Jeepers! It's worse than I thought - you're actually a fan of devil incarnate Jess Phillips and £92,000 corruption slurp Chris Bryant too. You've even tried to fan mail little Wesley Streeting... 😂
