Which is? I heard her say something several times this morning, interested if it's the same thing.

erm, something like, 'i may not look like any previous labour leader or pm,' or 'no PM has looked/sounded like me.'
paraphrase.

[Bonefish Blues]

No not that one. I can't remember exactly but was one of those affectations of speech like 'if I may just say' ... but not that.

Yours with added senility etc

I thought Lisa Nandy put in a very impressive performance on the Today programme this morning

Still coming across as by far the most normal of the Labour party contenders for leader.

Agreed on both counts

However it's appeared right from the start that this is likely to be a two way contest between RLB & Keir Starmer - nothing since has changed that opinion

Actually, if labour are desperate for it to be a woman, they would probably be better served by having all the females other than RLB withdraw to turn it into a straight fight and ensure all votes by those who insist it must be a woman go to RLB

However that firstly means positive discrimination/identity politics and secondly, voting for the continuity candidate. They really are screwed........

Is Lady Nugee having a “spasm” in that first photo or is she practising to be a magician?

Not sure but this one from my personal archive and shows her cheeky side

Seems like Thornburys on every week. I expect Barry Monotone Gardiner will be back next week, he hasn't been on for at least a fortnight as well.

It is Fox attacking people, not the other way round,

Really? As far as I can see, all the examples we're dealing with are people asking for Fox's opinion and then being offended by it. From Shami, to the Times interview.

His attack on 1917 went well, wouldn’t you say?

His point that it was a bit silly to reduce the legions of Sikh troops involved to just one guy seemed fairly sensible - however I'm guessing The Poke didn't agree?

Here twas I tinking tokenism was bad, seems the left and the ridiculous (and damaging) wacccist screamers think it is Ok.

If you wanted accuracy, 1000's of Sikhs and a sprinkle of White Officers could have been more accurate.

Fiona and I play "Count how many times Thornberry can look up and roll her eyes" when she has to listen to a member of the public.

She has this wonderful way of showing how much disdain she has for anyone with a different opinion to herself.

To be fair, I think she just realises that 99% of the British public should not be asking too many questions anyway, especially when it comes to questioning politicians like herself who know far better than......the general public.


She is a true patriot, a real find, not just for Labour, but for our country.

[PushedDover]

but...... she bloody well insisted with Brillo that she does not, absolutely never has sneered. ever. at all. not once.



Horrid woman
