Marx dealt with "Lord" Glasman's kind in the 1840s: "But the people, so often as it joined them, saw on their hindquarters the old feudal coats of arms, and deserted with loud and irreverent laughter."

Imagine listening to some Lord, who you pay to keep, who thinks you a bribable, thick bigot?
Why is transphobia the default state for so many arseholes?

It's an inherently absurd feature of British democracy that some Lord who doesn't know the business end of a shovel is allowed to pontificate about "the hopes and desires of the working class"(racism, apparently).
It is a truly depressing indictment of politics that Lord My wife won't sleep with me because of progressives Glasman has such sway and is treated even remotely seriously by some in power.

Wake me up when Stephen Bush's bosses at FT have allowed him to publish a piece called "11 million reasons why Labour must suspend the entire cabinet".

That mortgage doesn't pay itself.

Corbyn's first act as leader - compare and contrast to Eunuch Powell. This is what pissed people like Stephen's mates in the British press off so much, whatever lies they tell themselves to buy their big zone 2 houses.

This is the "hard way" Stephen, a Professional Politics Understander, is referring to.

"the hard way" = getting waved through the past five years by Stephen and his colleagues, only to visibly soil themselves and everyone else by association within a year of a landslide election
