    Do you have a link to something talking about the interview? I don't expect you to link to that rag, obviously.

    He hasn't said anything about the deal that doesn't exist yet, but he's still splitting the party, apparently.
    Kind of proving my earlier point, don't you think?

    I'll see if I can dig it up

    Also, when saying he'll support whatever crap the Tories cobble together ahead of them cobbling something together, that's clearly something that'll cause rifts in the party - partly because he's saying he'll support something before he's ever seen it (and he has previous for this, which coincidentally has also caused a split in the party...), but also because it will have some MPs worrying about their constituencies

    For example, take Rosie Duffield: she has a majority of a little over 1800 in Canterbury and a large part of that is because the Greens stepped aside last year and told their supporters to back the Remain-voting MP (unlike the Lib Dems, who were adamant in fighting for the seat even after their initial candidate stepped down because he didn't want to split the vote), but if Starmer does back whatever crap the Tories cobble together what do you think would happen? She'd be tainted with the stench of Leave, so that's Labour kissing goodbye to that seat because the Lib Dems will run a campaign saying "she" supported Leave (note use of inverted commas, because Lib Dems) while the Greens would likely be standing

    On a side note, Duffield also highlights another issue Starmer's facing: she's no doubt lost the LGBT vote in Canterbury with both her going JK Rowling on Twitter back in August, but not only did Starmer keep schtum about it but we also saw Jess Phillips, Wes Streeting and Rachel Reeves (surprise surfuckingprise...) publicly support her even though Reeves and Phillips have 10,000+ majorities so they're less likely to be burned by doing so, and this highlights another split as it's a clear example of one rule for Starmer's inner circle and one rule for the rest

    New theory: Trump lost because he spent four years alienating the cat-owner vote

    The good news is the queues to use the toilet/layby in Kent just got a little shorter...

    The bad news is that Dominic Raab apparently just learned that EU shipping can just sail around us

    According to the New York Times, Rudy Giuliani is seeking a pardon from the Orange Overlord

    So one simple question...for what?

    By complete coincidence, I'm sure a lot of people had the exact same response as I did - including people who would be in a position to start digging around to try and find what Giuliani did that has him preemptively requesting a pardon, which then begs the question about whether Giuliani is already under investigation or if he's worried that he could be, and if it's the latter the obvious question that has to be asked is how stupid is Giuliani to bring attention to himself by preemptively requesting a pardon?

    No need to be suspicious about two Tory MPs telling the exact same lie several hours apart...

    As if the planet isnot in a more distressing mess, Adolf Trump is going ahead with selling drilling rights in the Arctic. With the ice caps melting,I would think this is just what is required!

    On the subject of **** the Orange Overlord is trying to sneak under the wire before he's ushered into the back of a patrol car on January 21st...

    No wonder Trump is talking about pardons for his crooked family before he is kicked out. Al Capone would have been pleased!

    The Tories sure kept stripping £1bn from rail infrastructure in their spending review quiet for a week, didn't they?
