Biden justifies Israels attacks
Ishrel, Isreal. Has the right. Isreal. To. The right to defend itself. And we will stand shoulder to shoulder as Americans because what happened that day. Because American values are what we believe in. Americans.
I think to most people if you can afford a "flutter" of eight grand you can afford not to be an MP.
Also.... Just give £8000 to charity ffs
Oh how I wish this were true, but sadly it won't happen.
You can keep our seats warm, lads. We won't be needing them.
The Gambling Commission launches an investigation into Kevin Craig, who was seeking to become the party's MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. Meanwhile, Labour is understood to be returning £100,000 that the candidate donated to the party.
Centre ground Conservative MPs and voters need to act like heroin addicts (metaphorically speaking, of course) and admit to themselves that they've hit rock bottom. Only then will they realise that aligning themselves with a Tory party that is moving further and further to the right is not going to help their situation. Form a sensible centre right opposition party and build from there. Leave Farage to the fringes.
Anyone got any smack?
Let him. Any centre right members will rightly feel disgusted and leave making the new Tories even more of a fringe party. Something seismic needs to happen to them, like what Corbyn did to the Labour Party, for them to rebuild as something better. Whether that's under the moniker of the Conservative Party or something else then who cares?
Step one might be for Rishi to wipe them out electorally and step two might be for Farage to take them so far right that they become physically disgusting to the electorate. If it can happen with a historic party like Labour then it can surely happen with the Tories.

This is a meme community and funny to the children that post here.
The sad thing is.... this will probably give him a bump in the numbers.
Interesting election strategy.
I used to use SwiftKey back in the day but haven't in years. Using gboard has become a real pain. 🙁
Graham Linehan as well. Completely off the deep end.
The regulator is looking at other people with links to the Conservative Party, Chris Mason writes.
Yeeer jolking.... anuthurr wan?
Labour's education spokesperson defends her party's record on women following criticism from the Harry Potter author.
Not sure who to vote for? Compare promises without seeing which party they belong to. Vote with confidence in the 2024 general election.
A handy tool to sense check you're voting for the correct party.
Edit: 🤣 4 down votes. For this of all things. Lord above 😂.
The Metropolitan Police were contacted by the Gambling Commission last Friday, who told the force that they were investigating alleged bets, the BBC can reveal.
I don't see one already up so feel free to shit post here.
Radu Covaci is jailed after he was extradited from Romania to the UK.
AHH he missed a trick there. If he were American he'd have got away with it.
The prime minister is challenged over his policies during a campaign event in Wiltshire.
Rishi Sunak.... The new Gordon Brown. How much worse can he conduct this election campaign? Only time will tell!
In a move seen as an attempt by Labour to reassure the left of the party, Keir Starmer is set to reveal plans to recognise a Palestinian state.
Before you get too excited it's disappointing that this type of obfuscating language is still used as a get out free card.
>According to people familiar with a draft, it will say a Palestinian state should be recognised as "part of a peace process"
So basically never because a peace process won't ever happen the way it currently stands.
>when Sir Keir was asked whether a government he leads would follow Spain, Ireland and Norway in recognising a Palestinian state, he said it had to be "at the right time in the [peace] process… what it does need is international backing and consensus about the right point". > >He added: "That's only going to happen if we work with our partners on it."
No it's only going to happen if you show some leadership instead of lagging behind Ireland, Spain, and Norway. Do you want to recognise the state or not? Or do you want to only recognise it when it's beneficial to you and you've calculated that going into an election it's not beneficial to you?
Disappointing.

Kill me now.
Sunak Vs Starmer: The Argument in the Parliament.
I didn't see any pinned or stickied posts so here's one for the shit posting political discussion.
So far 134 members of the 2019-2024 parliament have announced that they will not be fighting them again. This means that a minimum of 20%, one in five, of the new MPs will be new faces.
Leader George Galloway says Labour's Keir Starmer is "indistinguishable" from Rishi Sunak.
It's the hat, isn't it? 🤣
There are many political and ideological dividing lines in British life, but perhaps the deepest and most damaging is that which was on show at the Weekend Truth Festival - when one part of the population rejects the others' view of reality.
Bat shit insane.
More than 120 bosses endorse Labour's economic plans ahead of the election saying it is “time for a change”.
The message, first reported by the Times, accused one MP of "refusing to engage" with the general election campaign and raised questions about a minister's "cooperation".
I'm kinda hopeful that this isn't Sunak's Gordon She's A Bigoted Woman Brown moment because I want to see something more embarrassing to him during the election than this.
