Yeah, he's only human :)) (actually he might not be...)

Johnson is utterly shit when faced with Starmer but sadly I don't know if that will make a difference. Some people just love his crap platitudes and posh boy image. Anyone who had done a tiny bit of research into him would have seen that hes a lazy lightweight arsehole who lies habitually and cares for nothing but his own ego. Yet he's still popular :shrug:

It's less a physical attraction, more an appreciation of his expert filleting of our idiot PM.

He's recently announced he has girlfriend (who just happened to be his chief of staff while he was still married :look: ) and he seems pretty smitten.

I'm with Bats on Kier's potato-face but I'm so glad to have him as leader. An actual adult!

I plan my Wednesday schedule around having PMQs to look forward to. I sit down, full screen it, and have a nice sandwich and watch him encouraging our PM to theatrically pratfall into the holes he dug himself. :love2: Toasted walnut and rosemary bread, some Wigmore and a tomato this week.

I saw that headline, it was pretty much "I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" like some 14 year old :lol:

I do the same, Goat, but with a less sophisticated lunch. Frequently hummus with chopped whatever is in the fridge, FYI. Sometimes a pitta lobbed through the toaster.

Oh God yes, it was a massive cringe. He totally has a Starmer Boner though.

I have been enjoying Owen Jones begging the far left to stay in the party and fight from within as they all threaten to lob away their membership in defence of RLB. :)) I'm a bit more, off you pop, back to Galloway and his cat suit. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. :)) Apparently even the Mail this morning was reporting with a bit of Keir love and archly pointing out Johnson should take a lesson on sacking people when they need a good sacking.

The Mail?! This has come to a pretty pass.

A mass flounce would be ideal.

I think it's actually really interesting how impotent all of those Corbyn Outriders are now. Corbyn relied on them because there was no support or discipline within the parliamentary party, but now there is consistent messaging and actual decisions they are completely redundant.

I mean at this point, it really doesn't matter what the fuck Ash Sakar or Owen Jones have to say about it, does it? The vast majority of the parliamentary party have no problem with it OR, maybe more importantly, they aren't saying if they do. The press and the Tories can't scream for her to be sacked because she has been.

I imagine the 'outriders' will now all have to go back to their day jobs. I can't actually read what Owen Jones has written, mind, because he has blocked me and 99% of women on Twitter.

The Mail is CROSS about Jenrick. They like a bit of hang em and flog em and all lives matter but not bribery.

Radio 4 this morning could only summon up Len McCluskey and John Lansman for the 'shouldn't have been sacked' view. It's about time McCluskey fucked off somewhere else anol.

What’s even more brilliant is that Maxine Peake has completely retracted what she said too (I do wish people who pretend to be other people for a living didn’t get to spout their opinions quite so much - just because you’re in the public eye doesn’t mean you get to pronounce on everything).

Plus yer man Desmond owns (owned?) the Express which is one of the Wail's rivals so they'll be happy to have a boot at them!

Aye, I thought what she said was a load of shite - according to her, she was mistaken. But there was a conspicuous lack of apology and she says she's not anti-Semitic. Sure, but you're sharing anti-Semitic tropes, love. :ella: The whole interview with her was laughable, she said that people should have voted for Jeremy Corbyn, cos she voted for Blair despite hating him, because "anything's better than the Tories", and then she criticised people for joining Labour now that Keir Starmer leads the party. Idiothole.

I could not love Starmer more now, though not in a sexy way. I've never found a politician sexy, I don't think.

I keep feeling the need to state how I’ve loved him in a sexy way for longer than he’s been in politics. :)) :l:
