horsefly 4,324 Posted May 2, 2022 Hahahahaha!!! The Daily Fail's utter desperation to to pin a Covid lockdown breach on Starmer has amazingly managed to get even funnier today: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/new-beergate-riddle-as-takeaway-driver-tells-of-big-curry-delivery/ar-AAWOKo1?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=88bfab504d2a43948ca82732a903bbcf New 'beergate' riddle as takeaway driver tells of 'big' curry delivery More questions were raised over Beergate tonight after a takeaway driver claimed to have delivered ‘quite a big order’ of four bags of curries, rice and naans to the ‘work meeting’. The Daily Mail spoke to a staff member at the award-winning The Capital Indian restaurant not far from Durham Miners Hall – where Sir Keir was filmed drinking beer – who initially said he brought ‘about four bags’ of food. However, after the Mail continued to make enquiries last night, the delivery driver changed his story, claiming he had never even been to the Miners Hall. Even Private Eye couldn't have produced such hilarious satire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 3, 2022 Boris Johnson will describe Ukraine's resistance to the Russian invasion as the country's "finest hour" when he addresses its parliament later. Speaking virtually to MPs on Tuesday, he will also set out details of £300m in extra military support. Downing Street said it would include electronic warfare equipment, a counter-battery radar system, GPS jammers and night-vision devices. It follows the PM's unannounced visit to Kyiv last month. Mr Johnson's speech is expected to echo the words of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, just as Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky did when he addressed MPs at Westminster in March. The prime minister is expected to say that the UK Parliament met throughout World War Two, just as Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada has done through the war with Russia, and the British people showed "such unity and resolve that we remember our time of greatest peril as our finest hour".

Sounds like Churchill has you nailed. "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." Abusing a democratic election for a party leader is however nothing to be proud off. Straight out of Putin's playbook. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sorry for the people who were so stupid to genuinely believe that Corbyn would ever have done anything good for the UK, but to wilfully sign up to a party you don't like with a view to breaking it is a disservice to the whole democratic process and to the country as a whole. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I recognise you probably aren't. Edited May 3, 2022 by littleyellowbirdie 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until 100% of those eligible vote, you will never have a majority.

Corbyn was always going to be a disastrous choice, meaning Labour would never be elected while he was leader. But in voting for him you also played your tiny role in enabling the UK to elect a proven liar and fraud to become PM. The first PM in UK history to be fined for breaking the law. A PM who has reduced our parliament to an unaccountable, unethical swamp. A PM who has promoted utter incompetents and sycophants to cabinet (Nadine Dorries, Gavin Williamson, Preeti Patel, Rees-Mogg, etc, etc, etc) in order to save his own neck while the UK plummets into crisis.
