The contents of the now-infamous “Trigger Me Timbers” WhatsApp group have resulted in the suspensions of one minister, one MP, and 11 councillors. The councillors were dispatched last night…
The group chat itself is being widely circulated in Labour circles. It has made its way to Guido’s inbox too…
The full chat takes up 940 pdf pages. There are some entertaining extracts. They include calling Rayner a “waste of time,” Miliband “sh*t”, and Emily Thornberry a “Little Britain Character” and a “drag queen”…
There are 12 mentions of Hitler, 156 of Corbyn, 181 of Keir, 222 f*cks, 180 sh*ts and 9 c*nts. It’s mostly a group of likeminded Labourites slagging other Labourites off. Business as usual then…
Gwynne and co are also confirmed to read Guido. Have a look at the extracts below:
On Thornberry:
[18/01/2020, 17:30:01] ~ George: Just caught up with the hustings. Jess P was a little underwhelming, Keir and Lisa were 🔥
[18/01/2020, 17:32:37] ~ George: Emily T is too theatrical and fake. Felt like she was a Little Britain character.
[18/01/2020, 17:34:23] ~ Dave: Yeah
[18/01/2020, 17:34:38] ~ Dave: Reckon she would be a riot on the sesh
[18/01/2020, 17:34:44] ~ Dave: She reminds me of a drag queen
[18/01/2020, 17:34:58] Oliver Ryan: This
On reading Guido:
[13/01/2020, 14:13:12] ~ Dave: Anyway, has anyone shifted to (Burgon) yet?
[13/01/2020, 14:14:48] Andrew Gwynne: Dunno
[13/01/2020, 14:26:00] ~ George: Guido says he’s through
[13/01/2020, 14:28:31] ~ Jack Naylor: Yeah he’s got 22 nominations.
[13/01/2020, 14:30:04] ~ Jack Naylor: Thornberry has 21 with 45 seconds to go!!
[13/01/2020, 14:30:14] ~ George: Can we nominate him at CLP? For a laugh.
Gwynne even talks about leaking to Guido. An honour…
On Rayner:
[05/09/2019, 12:25:59] ~ George: This CLP suggests Angela Rayner focuses less on tuition fee payments and more on improving maintenance grants, something which there is probably a majority for in the HoC. This CLP also suggests spending less time on Brexit so Angela frigging Rayner can have some scrutiny for her batshit ideas
[05/09/2019, 12:26:20] Andrew Gwynne: 🤣
[05/09/2019, 12:26:49] Andrew Gwynne: Like putting the entire student population of the country into Clearing.
[05/09/2019, 12:27:48] Andrew Gwynne: Imagine the mad scramble for student accommodation once you’d got your Uni place with like a week to go
[05/09/2019, 12:27:54] ~ George: Because she thought it said « cleaning »
[13/01/2020, 11:14:08] Andrew Gwynne: _*”Is it because I is ~black~ northern?_* 🤭 https://order-order.com/2020/01/13/rayner-compares-northern-accent-black/
[13/01/2020, 11:15:55] ~ George: Great choice for deputy. 🙄
[13/01/2020, 11:16:32] ~ Dave: OMG
[13/01/2020, 11:16:48] ~ Dave: I actually think getting Clive Lewis on the ballot would damage RLB
[13/01/2020, 11:17:13] ~ Dave: He’s actually been much better than RLB in the press etc
[13/01/2020, 11:17:15] Andrew Gwynne: Glad she’s deleted it. Daft tweet
[09/05/2021, 21:59:18] ~ George: Angela Rayner is now *Shadow Chancellor* ~of the duchy of Lancaster~
[09/05/2021, 22:04:17] ~ George J: What a waste of time
[09/05/2021, 22:04:51] Andrew Gwynne: Indeed
[09/05/2021, 22:04:53] ~ Dave: Absolutely
[09/05/2021, 22:04:56] ~ George: SoS for the future of work
[09/05/2021, 22:04:59] Claire F: Joke
[09/05/2021, 22:05:04] ~ George: She hasn’t got a day’s work in her
[09/05/2021, 22:05:10] Andrew Gwynne: Bottled it…. flunked the reshuffle
[09/05/2021, 22:05:16] Claire F: Angela just wanted a longer title
[09/05/2021, 22:05:34] Claire F: Says the working member of the worker’s party
On the Northern Powerhouse:
[06/11/2019, 20:26:48] Oliver Ryan: He was a total sh*t. But at least he isnt Rebecca Wrong-Daily
[06/11/2019, 20:26:57] Oliver Ryan: *Long-Bailey
[06/11/2019, 20:27:28] Andrew Gwynne: 🤣
Some views on Miliband:
[11/03/2021, 12:22:50] Oliver Ryan: Thing is though, Miliband 2010 was shit, he got better closer to 2015. But I know that’s no comfort to our candidates this time round. Also rather Keir than any of the nutters internal Party wise, easy to forget how bad the previous lot were.
[11/03/2021, 12:23:41] Oliver Ryan: you were the only good bit of the Corbyn years!
[11/03/2021, 12:24:46] Andrew Gwynne: Well recovered. 😂
Lots of anti-Corbyn stuff in there too:
[28/01/2021, 09:33:10] ~ Jack Naylor: Quite right! I hope they apply for the full costs from him also. Why should our membership fees be wasted on ridiculous legal defences?!
[28/01/2021, 09:33:21] Andrew Gwynne: Indeed
[28/01/2021, 09:33:44] Andrew Gwynne: Not sure _all the members_ will agree 😂
[28/01/2021, 09:35:33] ~ Jack Naylor: Haha you mean those members who still think Corbyn ‘won the argument’ 🤣😩
[28/01/2021, 09:35:38] ~ Kate Butler: Jez has a crowdfunded fighting fund so he’ll be reet paying costs!!
[28/01/2021, 09:36:01] Andrew Gwynne: Thems the ones!
Reform MP Danny Kruger welcomed adult film star Bonnie Blue’s support for the party, adding:
“I’m not going to be judgemental about people who want to vote Reform. We want all the support we can get – quite like Bonnie Blue.”
