The increasingly bovine intransigent stupidity of the #Labour government on #Brexit is going to cause real electoral damage (to accompany the economic harm and political irrelevance). Can anyone make this stop? Is anyone in @labour4europe.bsky.social prepared to start calling this out?
This is getting •beyond ridiculous•.
The Fear Factor, in overdrive.
La-la stuff about AI. 'Brexit opportunity' guff.
It is almost as if Labour •WANTS• to lose in 2029.
Get rid of McSweeney, if that's where this nonsense is coming from.

Breaking news: Keir Starmer has beaten up Elon Musk in a Tesco car park. A crowd waved England flags and cheered as Starmer mercilessly twatted two shades of shit out of that thick, lying, ketamine addled racist.

Retweets in this case do mean endorsements. On *Monday evening* Philp asked, in the House of Commons, questions that were barely a step up from “Yvette, what IS a child?” Cynical and corrosive politics, lazily conducted.
Chris Philp is all that is wrong with UK politics
What are his qualities that mean he's an MP?
He literally hasn't got any apart from the ability to waffle endlessly and not answer questions

Do you remember these same people’s reaction any time a Labour shadow minister supported a junior doctors’ picket?
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
Naturally, all those people who screwed farms with Brexit, not replacing EU subsidies, letting climate change wreck the countryside, and doing terrible deals that put farms at a competitive disadvantage, are today on the front of their picket line, all bad blood forgotten. ~AA
