I’m waiting for the Dominic Raab remix of this thread. The one about the Justice Secretary being unfit for office.

 

Maybe it’s better to be rude than it is to be nicely spoken and thick as a plank.

 

Transphobe.

Nice swerve Tony. Don't let the bigger issues bother you...

You seem to have missed the point of the thread. Angela Raynor thinks that you are scum.

 

I'd like to think that you're not scum and that you will be utterly appalled when the day comes that some Tory is beaten to death while a crowd chants "Tory Scum".

You seem to have drifted off-topic at the end their Tony. You probably want the thread titled "Should Tory scum be beaten to death."

Please go ahead and start that thread if you feel that you need guidance on the matter.

Today's Rayner Rant is pretty good.  She's having a go at the Tories giving their donor "mates" (her words) contracts.

 

Thank goodness there's no hypocrisy there......

 

A businessman who benefited from a lucrative contract with the government for vaccines - and was later ennobled by Tony Blair - has donated half a million pounds to Labour

Lord Drayson's firm Powderject made an estimated £20m from a deal to supply the government with smallpox vaccines in the wake of September 11 2001, at a time when he had recently donated £50,000 to the party.

Remember though, that was 'New Labour'. You know, the one that won elections and put their policies into practice, but for some reason the current Labour party wants to distance itself from. Maybe something to do with illegal wars and NHS privatisation.

 

The current Labour party thinks it has more in common with pre 1997 Labour, the one that hasn't won a General Election since 1974, which is plainly a fantastic model to replicate.

Should a party or a leader be judged on what happened 20 years ago?

Pfft, why ever not? Labour have been living off Thatcher since 1971.

Like water off a ducks back to true Tories.

The Liberal Democrats were to the left of Labour in the days of Tony Blair. Not sure where they are now.

Most MPs are well educated university graduates. So what separates them?

Getting back to the thread title, why are some 'scum' but not others?

Starmer is called Tory-lite and a Blairite. The party changed direction over 20 years ago and finally became electable - but some Labour supporters can't get over that.
