Surely everyone, left, right, black, white, commies, pinkos, Far Right, hard left, Romney Marshers can agree on one thing. Steve Bray needs a fucking good hiding….

His hands are tied by their ridiculous manifesto. They went into an election they were absolutely guaranteed to win, with the most timid un radical manifesto you could ever imagine. How can you spout a load of stuff about “change” and then be as radical as the Tory Pinko’s. If they wanted to do labour things and change the country they should have put it in there. It may have cost them 30 or 40 seats, but fuck me they still would have had a decent majority. If “Andy” tries to do anything other than tinker around the edges, the markets will react & his perceived lack of a mandate will be like a millstone round his neck. He’ll become very unpopular very quickly. If I was advising him, id tell him to go to the people in early autumn, put his change agenda to them. He’ll probably win with a significantly reduced majority, but thats the key word, “majority”. Unless he’s a once in a generation politician who can like Mrs Thatcher transform themselves in office and use his personality to impose himself, he will need a radical mandate. Nothing I’ve seen in his past makes me think he’s anything but a plodder, who has risen to the top due to the lack of any alternative talent the party will accept. As for Starmer, he was clearly out of his depth. But he was chosen as the new Kinnock, supposed to transform the party into something that could win elections. He would lose one, but eat into the Tory majority , ready for the next leader to take them to the promised land (and it wouldn’t have been Andy “King of the North” Burnham either). Unfortunately for him, the Tories were so bad he actually won. He was given a very poor hand and preceded to fuck it right up, whilst blaming everyone else. A horrendous PM, morally questionable , with the charisma of a fucking plank. Good riddance.

It’s laughable people are defending him. He’s been a complete and utter disaster. From Lord Alli, through the self inflicted wounds of increasing employers NI right through to respected labour figures like lord Robertson & John Healy saying his penny pinching on defence is leaving the country unsafe. Labour do not replace leaders regularly, they left Corbyn in place for 2 elections FFS. Even if he only achieved a quarter of what is claimed on here, they’d have left him in place. The fact Labour turned against him and forced him out 2 years after a landslide shows just how completely useless he is. The hatred for him is off the scale, and as Binface put it so succinctly, his own party recently contested an election on the platform of “vote labour, the leaders shite”. Let’s see how the next middle aged white leader labour put forward gets on. Professional Northerner, Our Andy, at least they’ve branched out from North London for this one. However, despite his rebranding he’s more of a professional London politician than Starmer ever was. I predict it’ll be a case of, meet the new broom, same as the old broom.

Wilson to Callaghan, Blair to Brown. They’re exactly the same. The last 2 labour Governments changed leader without an election, now this one will. Personally, I don’t think they should, that’s not our system (although “”our Andy” will be well advised to do so,before he becomes unpopular). But I’m consistent, Labour politicians, and no doubt the Soggys of this world aren’t. The Ginger Growler calling out Sunak, but then joining Our Andy’s cabinet sums her, and the lot of them, up.

What’s that got to do with anything? You either believe a change of leader should trigger a GE or you don’t. You can’t say it should when another party does it, but shouldn’t when it means you”ll get a cabinet position out of it….

The Ginger Growler 24/10/2024 “Rishi Sunak has been crowned by Tory MPs. It’s a coronation not an election. He has no mandate and the British people have had no say. #GeneralElectionNow”

No you’re right. Jack Charlton World Cup winning player, managed at 2 world cups, Dougan played at World Cup & 500 odd professional appearances. Cloughie 2 domestic titles, 2 European cups,. Big Mal played and managed hundreds of games, here’s what Bobby Moore said about him “ I'd been a professional for two and a half months and Malcolm had taught me everything I know. When Malcolm was coaching schoolboys he took a liking to me when I don't think anyone else at West Ham saw anything special in me”. I think they’re more qualified than Emma Fucking Hayes. I’ll give you Sutcliffe though, not sure he’s quite as qualified, in hindsight he probably didn’t have quite the right tools for that particular role… Emma Hayes more qualified than Charlton or Clough 🤣🤣🤣

Trump announcing he’s going before official announcement. Ends his premiership as it started. Shambles, can’t even resign properly.

Fucking hell, and I thought it was bad when they were all masons

None of the Man Utd/Liverpool or big club bias. Wolves, Palace, Leeds, Forest and a Hammers supporter.

Proper pundits, who knew their stuff and a top presenter. No wokies, or diversity hires….Brian Moore, The Doog, Big Jack, Big Mal, Cloughie & Peter Sutcliffe. Great days….

Hopefully we can get back to grey, boring politics again after the crazy, psycho dramas of the last two years.

Oh FFS, what’s all this fucking mass walking to the ground. It’s as bad as those twats who chuck beer around in those noddy fan zones.

He’d have started in the final. You know, games when the manager puts out his best side….

In non hipster parlance, he’s a sub, who doesn’t get in the starting 11.
