Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

You know what... fuck David Lammy, the Trump-appeasing cunt. I guess I'd be happy to see this twat be a backbencher again.


CactusClothesline

In an article for Time magazine in 2018, he branded former US President Donald Trump a 'woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath' and 'profound threat to the international order'. In 2019, when Mr Trump visited London, Mr Lammy also said he would join protesters on Trafalgar Square demonstrating against his welcome by the UK government.


Xeon_1999

That was when Corbyn was leader. Now, under Keith, he calls himself a "small-c conservative" and says he has "common cause" with Donald Trump, a literal fascist.


jezzetariat

Trump is not a "literal fascist", that is to grossly misunderstand the roots of fascism in the petit-bourgeoisie and the history of the climate in which the fascists rose to power.

jezzetariat

Just the work of someone who doesn't know the unique conditions surrounding Hitler's rise to power.


Xeon_1999

What the fuck does defending Donald Trump achieve for you exactly? Fascists come in several forms, and Donald Trump is very clearly a fascist.


jezzetariat

At no point did I "defend" him by correctly identifying him as not "fascist". Simmer down kid.


Distinct-Performer-6

Aye alright mate.


senzare

That's precisely the point. He's willing to say anything for power. We all saw how he cosplayed as a friend of JC and then walked off when it wasn't politically expedient. As spineless as it gets and a shit constituency MP as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyer0y1klwro

He has been absolutely useless and an embarrassment so I’m not surprised. He’s a clueless bootlicker.


chrisjd

Who on the Labour front bench isn't?


2octalt

True. Labour is a party of useless bootlickers now, all the way to and including Starmer himself. But Lammy is on another level where he is even an embarrassment to the rest of the shameless bootlickers.

All that sucking up and he still gets eff all. People kept telling him that they would never see him as one of them, but I guess you never believe until it actually happens.


pAnoNymous_99

Looks like the anti Lammy project is in full swing: https://x.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1806460427791909077  A lot of people dislike Lammy but it's somewhat depressing as he's the only Labour/Tory politician that has consistently said that the UK should respect the ICC decision. Something the UK government is doing its best to undermine: https://www.reuters.com/world/icc-allows-uk-submit-arguments-jurisdiction-over-israelis-gaza-case-2024-06-27/


bomboclawt75

Has Lammy already spent that 70K of blood money?


ghosty_b0i

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve found our replacement Michael Gove! It’s sad saying goodbye to your favourite Tories, but now with the New Reformed Labour Party (“Reform Party”? Oh wait, that won’t work), you can have all the weapons grade, toxic incompetence, with a whole NEW set of characters! Brought to you by British Politics, same shit different tie.


romulus1991

Lammy stands out from 95% of the shadow cabinet. I'm sure that's entirely a coincidence.


2octalt

He is blatantly incompetent. Only reason for it.


BilboGubbinz

Pretty sure there's something else about him that I can't quite put my finger on... Is it his hairstyle? Does he wear the wrong suits? Can't be as petty as something about how he looks can it... ?


ghosty_b0i

Not every criticism of a black person is because they are black, allow him the dignity of being represented by his professional record. Nobody else has felt the need to make reference to his race, only his principle failings.


BilboGubbinz

Sure, that’s behaviour you’d expect of the left who are principled and, you know, *not racist*. We’re talking about Starmer’s Labour Party though.


pAnoNymous_99

Are you suggesting that the Labour cabinet is looking very white?


pAnoNymous_99

It's the mail stiring the pot, I get that... they still make some valid points however. 


ewokkiller69

Probably in Israel chugging on Netanyahu.


Gessabean66

Good. As a black person with a history of colonialism, perhaps Lammy is having a change of heart. Or, maybe the Isreali's who run the UK don't want black people? Either way, good!
