Brilliant, so jumped up public schoolboy behaving to type is unconscionable, but being directly complicit in the illegal invasion of a country resulting in at least 50,000 deaths and the indirectly to the worst ethnic cleansing since Rwanda because you couldn't even be bothered to find out if there was a plan beyond "we'll get rid of saddam and then everything will be great" is just quibbling about policies blah blah blah.


Fucks sake indeed!

So people have read all that from what I wrote in my post? No wonder ive given up


So for the record...


I share el pibes view of the iraq war

I don't think the sun shines out of labours arse

I thought my post chimed with much of what Michael p wrote in an earlier post but he seems to think otherwise

As I've already stated I've disagreed with plenty of what she has done in power. I don't "love" her and am not insisting that anyone even like her


If people focused on her record fair enough



The rest of this post I've deleted because it's not worth it

ohhh the irony, this is just gobsmaking...are you so BLIND edealer...or are you just completley unaware of her history?


Nope MM just bored of diggy posts that seem to boil down to I can't beleive I like people who don't think the Labour party is wonderful and belive the Guardian is a pile of shit

I fear that many (not all) of our politicians let us down, sacrificing what is best for their voters and their own morality for the needs of Party or, Cabinet unanimity. This is true across the political spectrum.


Having lived in a number of constituencies, I prefer to be represented by a back-bencher with independent attitude, rather than a nescessarily neutered front bencher.


It would seem that rank does not bring privelege, at least for those that vote.

That has NO relation to what I said at all. Interesting take tho.


Nothing I have posted on this thread as anything to do with labour at all. Or even party politics of any kind. Plenty of scope for heavy criticism of Tessa and her role in the Iraq war on this forum


But sometimes, when a new thread starts about a local mp (of any hue) stepping down, it's worth taking a broader view of not just the bad but the years of work for local constituents and leave the other stuff for other threads.


To have a couple of pages of "she doesn't live here" or "she didn't represent us" when clearly she did otherwise she wouldn't be reelected


It's not that I care about her particularly... I'm only standing up because she's connected to us locally, not because of what party she is in. But constant,y branding all politicians as just corrupt and useless is incorrect. As with James barber and his efforts to communicate with people on here, the abuse he sometimes gets is out of all proportion to the sometimes painful politicking he gets himself into. It's just too easy to ALWAYS see only the bad. Walk in their shoes for a year and ill be impressed


Why quids brought labour or the guardian into it as sticks to beat me with I have no idea

TJ will always have a very good chance of being re-elected because she is a party apparatchnik, a known quantity. So anyone who believes that the Labour party is the best one to form the Government will vote for her/her clone regardless. This is a perfectly valid point of view


Not holding this viewpoint, however, I do believe that it matters that she doesn't want to live here,and fobs us off with "family" reasons, believes we will believe in her "reconciliation". I was told that at least one of her children went to school in America, while she was telling us that she didn't want to leave them and come and live in Dulwich. If this is a scurrilous rumour, I will be glad to hear the denial it as I would like feel that politicians tell me the truth

Lynne

Oh really:


"... the couple went on to have two children of their own, Jessie - a schoolfriend of Ms Dynamite - and Matthew, a golf prodigy who attended an elite training academy in Florida."


Taken from:


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/why-tessa-chose-her-job-over-her-marriage-468695.html

Does anyone know how long her son attended the training academy?


Does her daughter not count?


Would it be possible to form a government from backbench MPs whose only interest was their own constituency?


Can anyone posting on here name a single electable politician they feel meets all their requisite criteria?


Who'd be a politician?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
