Starmer has just given Ruth Anderson (aka Ruth Smeeth) a cabinet office position.
A bit of background on Baroness Ruth Anderson 🥀💰🔫💣✈️⚰️🇮🇱🕵️‍♀️

I prefer that Mandelson sticks to him like glue. The same with Prince Andrew, he was allowed to get away with it when he was a prince so he should remain a Prince. The whole firm knew and protected him until he damaged the brand.

Them donors have obviously not given permission for that.

wooohooo the dignified funeral hat is coming back...unless he is bored and they are back to being suckers😆

1.68 after the facist discount!! Fucking idiots 😆

Lack of storage is a political and practicality issue from way back, it is what it is. Our biggest threat to gas supply is Ormen Lange going down for long shutdown or the disruption of the Norway pipeline. Don't tell me Putin has not know this.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

true-ish. The UK does not really go into storage in a big way so 2 days is probably true but not that unusual is my guess. I have not read the article but from experience I would guess this is what they are on about.

He also had this weird approach to comms, getting regular folks to knock on doors and speak to people is just fecking bizarre. It's almost like cheating

Supporting an invading aggressor, interesting.

Exactly!

Do you not think he is a touch too genocidy? Or maybe that's your thing, huh?

Channeling a Priti Patel vibe there

😆Fuck right off

That's a the face of a city council leader who has realised that things are about to change

Did you see the cost of the 2 x Radar systems Iran took out on day one? Oooft, that one is easier kept quiet as they did not fall out of the sky

It's the last place you will find a US base

Send them some small boats, they appear to know everything about them.

They are there to avoid tax, why the fuck are we helping them with our tax money?

After that bullshit any Labour MPs with genuine principles should be approaching the Green Party to discuss sitting with them or defecting for at least the remainder of this parliament.

This is the will of the donors, Labour are owned, there cannot be another explanation.

Wait for it, she will be off to Reform as soon as she is fired 😆

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Too late! 😁

💯

What a speech!

This Angela Rayner, the one with Blackrock CEO Larry Fink?

This is how to start your Friday 😁

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Congratulations!
