Can we get rid of northern ireland yet?
It would make Brexit a lot easier for sure.

Or just reabsorb the whole of Ireland into the Union. That seems the most brexity way to do things imo
Really? I'd have thought the most brexity thing to do would be to keep fucking things up until everyone has left the UK except Wessex, Sussex, Kent, East Anglia, and a newly reformed Mercia (No Northumbria, all true Englishmen know that being involved with Northerners is where things started to go wrong.)Or just reabsorb the whole of Ireland into the Union. That seems the most brexity way to do things imo
Only then will England truly be great again and have taken back control from er... the celts?
If you're going to list Kent and Sussex, you should also mention Essex.

Couldnt think of a bigger fuck up (apart from leaving the EU) than trying to rule ireland from England tbh.Really?

We don't notice our fuck ups much, because they've become routine.Couldnt think of a bigger fuck up (apart from leaving the EU) than trying to rule ireland from England tbh.Really?

You could put someone who's life experience is 'oxford -> hedge fund -> MP' in charge of the economy. i.e someone who at no point in their adult life has ever interacted with reality.
Similarly, opting for 'Oxford -> liar/'journalist' -> MP' as the route to head of government might be considered ill advised.

If its 61% among even the labour membership, crusties to a man, imagine what its like among undecideds.
It's obvious Starmer's plan is to keep powder dry for another year or two before unleashing policy in the run up to an actual election. You may not like it, but its at least fairly easy to understand.

Saying it's obvious Labour will 'unleash' policy is like saying it's obvious fish will start walking next year. Sure, we're aware that this has happened before in the distant past, but given that there has been no evidence modern fish possess any inclination to go for a hike, it is far from obvious they will do so soon.
It's as high as 61% because a lot of the left have not renewed their membership over the last year while some centrists will have rejoined

Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.
The biggest worry is what policies they'll 'unleash'.
More middle management of the economy, but with Jess Philips as spokesperson playing the role of 'gobby down to earth northern woman'.
Infrastructure spending but with billboards saying 'Not woke'.
A new 'nuclear first' foreign policy with Starmer promising to push the big red button as soon as possible?

Labour membership has dropped less than 12% since pre-election so that narrative doesnt get you very far.
There are about 490,000 members today, it was about 550k pre-election
Lets generously imagine ALL of those 12% leavers were Corbynophiles, and lets go further and be even more generous to your argument and say actually 15%, or about 80k, members really left and 16k/3% moderate starmerphiles joined.
If this poll is correct about 300k (61%) Labour members are pro-starmer and 142k (29%) pro-corbyn. adjusting for the members who left/joined per the above, that's still 284k pro-starmer to 222k pro-corbyn, which would equate to 52% pro-starmer and just 40% pro-corbyn.
In other words, Corbyn is still considerably less popular among pre-election labour membership, even counting all the rabid nutters who would rather quit labour without corbyn.
wat?

Unite Union (led by Len 'Totally not Corrupt' McCluskey) builds its own hotel and conference centre, projected to cost £57m of member's money (brilliant use of it!)... gives contract to mate of Clutchy McCluskey... ends up 60% over budget due to "4*+" upgrade and new management penthouse floor.
How anyone could possibly think spending 100m on a luxury hotel benefits union members, many of whom are on minimum wage, I do not know, much less the hilarity of a union run project overrunning by 60%. Presumably its the same mindset that allows one to justify the politburo building enormous Dachaus for the politburo members so they had somewhere to hobnob.
At least McCluskey's mate got paid and Clusker got a penthouse out of it!
