TWEENIES BY POLITICAL PARTY - A THREAD:
Milo: Labour
Working-class hero Milo stays true to his Labour roots, though he's none-too-impressed with Starmer's leadership thus far.
me: i would like to buy a meal deal
co-op: okay
me: i'd also like to buy a funeral
co-op: okay
me: i'd also like to buy tickets to a gig i'm never gonna see
co-op: ur not gonna believe this
WHO GAVIN AND STACEY CHARACTERS WOULD VOTE FOR: A THREAD
Gavin and Stacey - Labour
They've been feeling the squeeze of the cossie livs and while they're not ultra-political, they've had enough of the Tories for a while. They voted for Cameron in 2010 but never again.
so the teletubbies are quadruplets, were born AFTER the show first aired, and travelled into the future to get their second dose. they really woke up and chose tubby chaos
Max: TUSC
Dyed-in-the-wool socialist Max was often seen marching against Thatcher in the '80s, and left Labour in protest during the Blair years, never to rejoin.
Pam - Green Party
She literally protested against plans to erect a radio mast in one episode and even went vegetarian (sort of) for a bit. She even thought about tying herself to the goalpost at a Cardiff match, but Mick talked her out of it.
a lot of right wingers suddenly angry that companies like Kopparberg are exercising their freedom of expression and deciding not to advertise on the new news channel - i thought freedom was what they all liked?🤔
i might be 22 next month but thinking about the new tracy beaker show on friday is lowkey getting me through the working week, def gonna be sitting there with a beer and a pizza ready for some classic tracy/justine beef
Gwen - Plaid Cymru
A lefty at heart, Gwen has long supported Plaid, as did her Trevor (god rest his soul) - though she does worry sometimes if an independent Wales would make travelling from Barry to Billericay more difficult. She once made Leanne Wood an omelette.
Pete and Dawn - Conservative Party
There's more chance of Frank Ocean ever playing Coachella again than these two not being dyed-in-the-wool Tories. I'll leave it at that.
Judy: Change UK
Despite being involved with Militant and the SWP at various points in her past, her views have shifted to the centre over time - she frequently retweets Anna Soubry.
Smithy - Reform Party
Like Gavin, he's not huge on politics and no Tory, but he's gone the other way. He's worried that they're teaching Neil the Baby "woke bollocks" at School.
Mick - Change UK
Speaking of Mick, he joined Change UK (remember them) for a bit during the Corbyn era. Big FBPE energy. Brexit? It's the last thing you expect to see when you when you come into work in the morning.
Bryn and Jason - Lib Dems
This duo agree on two things: Never speak of the fishing trip, and the Lib Dems are the best choice. Brexit has fucked up Jason's life in Spain slightly, and Bryn thought that Jo Swinson was a real hoot!
so people bullied an 18 year old into coming out after accusing him of queerbaiting because he was seen holding hands with a woman? no-one owes you their sexuality and BISEXUAL PEOPLE EXIST
@ellieredpath
i always think the same when there’s a news story about someone struggling financially and the comments are full of “well they’ve got enough money for hair dye/netflix/takeaways/anything that makes life slightly less shit when you’re having a hard time”
Nessa - Breakthrough Party
If the Breakthrough Party had candidates in Nessa's area, she'd vote for them - I won't lie to you. She may have had that dalliance with John Prescott, but it's not enough to convince her to vote Labour right now.
i did a trial shift for a website last week with a view to becoming part of the news team on a freelance basis and i've woken up to an email letting me know they'd like me to join! ordered breakfast and a milkshake in celebration and now i feel like i'm about to explode😅
as a kid I was meant to go on Are You Smarter Than Your 10 Year Old, a spinoff where the kids are the child of the contestant and some of their classmates. we were told two days before filming that it overran so they cancelled our episode and i emailed the producer the below:
i know i know, bloody ~ journo discourse~ again, but just wanna shout out the editors who DO take a chance on freelancers, young journos, students/grads, less-experienced journos - it's very much appreciated!!!
Dua Lipa is single, but I’m not interested.
The singer has been quoted as saying, “Transphobia is the neighbor of misogyny.”
No woke women for me. I’ll pass on dating Dua Lipa.
your husband being bisexual is no more an indicator that he’ll cheat or wants to see other people than your husband being straight, can we not go FIVE MINUTES without yet more biphobic nonsense
hustle culture and influencer culture both need to die out - we don’t all have the same 24 hours in a day and it’s hilarious to even entertain the notion
every festival in the UK is like
LIAM GALLAGHER | COURTEENERS
SAM FENDER | TOM ODELL | SHED SEVEN
INHALER | SUPERGRASS | DERMOT KENNEDY | THE LATHUMS
it's not that i don't like a lot of the artists above but christ can we have some variety i beg
if i never left my music snob phase i would never have discovered that post-one direction harry styles actually makes god-tier music and for that i am thankful
mad that something as innocuous as “maybe it shouldn’t cost 300 quid to get from A to B on public transport in the uk” has got half of twitter trying to find a ticket for ~only £200~ if you leave at half four in the morning and make ten changes with half an hour between each one
This has blown up more than I expected so if I've got your attention PLEASE take two minutes to sign this petition to stop the deportation of Osime Brown💙
