Big part of Starmer's psychology is Big Dick, Very Important Barrister posturing. Thornberry was a rival and contemporary of his coming up in the legal world, same with Shami Chakrabarty, petty victories over people like that are entirely in keeping with the sort of person he is.
OK - the gauntlet has been thrown down, the low hanging fruit (onshore windfarms, putting Timpson in the cabinet etc) has been picked, its time to start getting organised and active, in your union, on the streets etc, because there's a big fight coming.
obv a lot of things in the press were designed to drive you mad during the corbyn years but one of the biggest was that i & many otherwise sensible people started follow PMQs regularly, bc every week he'd turn in a strong and insightful performance and it'd be reported like he shit himself and died
Gonna update this and possibly add a word filter thingy like the UK Politics and Premier League feeds, but as far as I can tell this is the only feed out there for old UK Twitter Shitposters, Momentum Thugs, Corbynite Cultists and "This you?" pedants, give it a follow

Daily reminder - if you get blocked, you win. You should collect blocks like trophies. It's a tacit acknowledgement they can't handle the Bantz. It's the most humiliating form of surrender going.
People keep coming out with this like it matters. So what? It'll make him exactly the same 90% of the MP's in Britain. Just because you've gotta write down your bribes in the "Big Book of Legal Bribes" doesn't make any actual difference, look at the donations Wes Streeting's had if you doubt me.

*extremely centrist voice*
White people refuse to vote Labour because of legitimate concerns about refugees and ethnic minorities.
I vote Labour because I'm making tough choices.
Ethnic minorities refuse to vote Labour because they're sectarian.
Right, this is simple. If you vote for a transphobic party, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF DEEP IN YOUR HEART YOUR NOT TRANSPHOBIC!
You've consciously and deliberately chosen to act in such a way that will harm trans people. Your actions are what matters, not your consciences.
And if you support Joe Biden right now you are saying “I really don’t care about my tax dollars being used to facilitate the mass slaughter of Palestinians.”
Own. Up. To. It.
OK so now the election is over the priority has to be getting ready for Starmer and Reeves cuts to kick and build a strong anti-austerity movement, protests strikes demos sit-ins etc, the Labour party isn't popular and this is as good as it will get for them, so lots of opportunity coming our way
Daily Reminder - this result is the victory Corbyn should've had in 2019 had we not gone in for a 2nd referendum and if Reform hadn't have stood down for the Tories.
Yup, remember this moment, they're not bothered about beating the Tories, even today their only interest is to attack and degrade the left.
That's why you can *never* forgive them, you'll never be anything but their worst enemy if you don't share their warped Thatcherite view of the world.
Hell site is absolutely full of centrists gloating and reposting anyone that's ever said anything critical of Starmer like it's some gotcha moment.
Yay! Hopelessness prevailed. Well fucking done lads. You've won absolutely fuck all.
