Rhymes with "Berkeley Hunt"?

Already seen comparisons to various Labour leadership campaign donations.

What about Starmer's glasses?

Speaking to Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby at the G20 summit in South Africa, the prime minister said Nigel Farage "needs to launch an investigation into his party to understand how that happened".

Like asking Ronnie Biggs to conduct his own prosecution.

[Tubby Isaacs]

The literal prosecution of Nathan Gill has already happened, and apparently there are more police investigations. Who else would you expect to investigate an internal party matter?

Words fail me...

I can think of one word.

So can I.

Kruger.

These fall under “the panoply we call ‘woke’”, he explains, “a word that trivialises quite a substantial set of ideas that are not to be treated flippantly. Everything from BLM [Black Lives Matter], to trans, to the Palestinian agenda, to DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] in the workforce, to all the ideas that are undermining traditional associations of family, community and nation. Those ideas are hostile to the inherited understandings of how we belong, and how we relate to each other in society. So: hostility to traditional families, hostility to the idea of rootedness in place, hostility to nations.”

Why are Palestinian rights hostile to "inherited understandings of how we belong"? The UK has supported Arab nationalism before. Or does it just mean that brown people support Palestinian rights? Come to think of it what, has "trans" got to do with hostility to traditional families? Or indeed "DEI'? A lot of effort was made in the past to get girls more interested in some school subjects/professions. Was that bad?

He couldn't say "hostility to people like me" (when it isn't even that) more clearly if he tried.

I wish that an interviewer would stop the reductivism of simply saying "DEI", and ask whether it was the diversity, the equality or the inclusion that the interviewee had a problem with, and why.

Make the everything-I-don't-like-is-woke brigade have to explicitly defend themselves and their rancid attitudes.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

What? A journalist with integrity?

How very dare you...

[Andy McDandy]

Yeah, traditional values, like in the good old days when everyone knew their place nobody had any highfalutin' ideas and notions about getting above their station. When you'd be grateful to Massa unless you wanted a night or three in the box.

What a cunt.

It is potentially so much more than merely an internal party matter. Rather, a well-established criminal enterprise which serves a hostile entity.

It is quite conceivable that Starmer has regained his old touch and entrusted the investigation to Frogage, safe in the knowledge that he will come back with the one-bad-apple conclusion by tea-time, thereby validating the need for a forensic probe.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I think cops are already looking more widely.

Starmer getting his old touch back would be nice, but don't think anyone would say any different.
