“Is the Prime Minister aware that there are some creatures who when removed from their natural habitat can turn dangerously unpredictable in their behaviour and since allowing them to wander freely abroad has caused some difficulty, has he any proposals to extend the requirements for muzzles and leashes to the right hon. Member for Finchley?” -David Steel, Prime Minister’s Question Time in 1991.

Hearing Jeremy Corbyn has 30 of the 35 nominations needed to make the ballot paper. A man of principle. A man worth voting for. Fingers crossed.

New plan for the Labour Party: Copy David Cameron exactly. Elect a moderate on a reformist ticket to leader, detoxify the image of the party, get into government and then lurch so far to the edge of the spectrum that we nationalise Cameron’s fucking mother.

Michael Gove’s just been appointed Justice Secretary, so now’s an even more appropriate time to reblog this

For all those despairing at the election result, some advice from Tony Benn. The fight goes on.

spider: *comes into my room*

me: I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Godfather." You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.

"We are not here in this world to find elegant solutions, pregnant with initiative, or to serve the ways and modes of profitable progress. No, we are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves. That is our only certain good and great purpose on earth, and if you ask me about those insoluble economic problems that may arise if the top is deprived of their initiative, I would answer 'To hell with them.' The top is greedy and mean and will always find a way to take care of themselves. They always do."

Jack Whitehall won king of comedy for the third year running, and I found myself shouting out “shame!” and, inexplicably, “class war!”
