brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

Eddie Mair challenged BJ on some of his past indiscretions a few years ago and summarised with 'you're a nasty piece of work, aren't you?'

ogmor very much otm here

but hey, parliamentary democracy is light entertainment

Mair has a lovely voice.

Lefties are delusional and seem proud of the fact that Corbyn is a terrorist synthesizer.

Dean GB is some sort of heavy-handed not funny joke, right?

Terrorist synthesizer was the drummer of Gay Dad iirc

What's his retweetcount of his next highest tweet?

A year ago today, we as a nation voted for a sovereign United Kingdom outside of the European Union.

I didn't think the UK had what it takes to reach US levels of crying eagle jpeg glory but that comes mighty close

Certainly very promising one can only imagine what heights may be reached once full insularity arrives

i was just coming here to post that abomination

i appreciate that they've chosen a picture of prince philip where he doesn't look like a desiccated lizard-person

it's the goskippy branding that really elevates it imo

that's the icing on the shit-cake, certainly

lovely assemblage of true-blood Brits in that photo

Greece, USA and Wilhelm Germany reprezenting!

not sure if it's just the effect of context but farage looks even more like a smug toad than usual

the sexual chemistry between churchill and kate is electric tho, look at that sly eye contact

No, Kate is eyeing up Filthy Phil, a real man, much to the displeasure of crybaby mummy's boy, Wills

Winnie is reminding Nige of UKIP's current percentage points in the latest opinion polls.

William having a convo with Churchill about the cruel vagaries of male pattern baldness: "It's not fair, even my dad has more hair than me"

what if fan-fic, but awful

but

I seem to remember TM making a show of how this Hinckley Point project of Gideon's would be thoroughly scrutinised before being given the OK. Then in typical style of what was to come she did absolutely nothing and it was green lighted anyway. Despite massive reservations about it's costs and legacy to follow.

In a scathing report, the NAO said ministers had failed to look at alternative ways of funding the power station to get the best deal possible, saying officials expect it will add up to £15 to annual electricity bills up to 2030.

Hinkley Point will cost £37 billion to power 5% of the grid's needs. New gas storage would have cost £1.4 billion to power 40% of the grid

Way to cut that deficit, TM.

She's a fucking moron in charge of a party of lazy backslapping greed-heads

not sure if it's just the effect of context but farage looks even more like a smug toad than usual

He's making that *record scratch* "you're probably wondering how I got here" face

has margaret beckett been reached for comment since june 8th?

Well if she hadn't nominated Corbyn she might have just been remembered for being a lousy mediocrity of a career politician and 600 quid plant pots!

the calm quiet dignity of old Labour centrists, working away their whole careers for moderation, marginal charity policies and maintaining the awesome goodness of lightly regulated capitalism

a constitutional monarchy where only the aspirationless don't become middle class homeowners and the wealthy can enjoy the fruits of their genius unmolested by government

kids today don't know what's good for them

lol lord sainsbury taking his political toys home

(i'm fine w/him funding the arts tbh until a better method is found, perhaps powered by the nobility's heads on poles)

Sometimes I feel like people don't get mad enough about how the government spends their taxes

bear with me

There's lots of "my taxes are too high" or "my taxes went to pay for underwater basket weaving" but I don't see nearly enough outrage over the lack of simple, hard-headed negotiation when tendering public services and getting value for money. Right-wingers love the household fallacy, so how about they go the goddamn distance and call out deals like Hinckley Point C for the financial disasters they are, in those household terms? If you buy a new boiler for anything more than a grand or two you are getting FLEECED and you should be ASHAMED and CLOWNED about it until you RESIGN in DISGRACE. Safe pair of hands? Fiscally conservative? Like fuck

Near Kings Cross station, someone has scrawled 'TORY SCUM' a few times on a branch of Sainsburys express.

lol @ Progress having to look to grassroots fundraising

this new twist in the Food Dancing campaign sounds intriguing

Lol!

gl Preogress.

While the general election confounded many expectations about Jeremy Corbyn, it also confirmed that ‘one more heave’ will not work and that to win, Labour must win over people who voted Tory.

Progress, even.

Brogress

That refers to nothing, just making a note for possible future use

I wonder how they think they can win over people who voted Tory?

gotta move to the centre! tories love watered-down versions of the same tory policies they chose to vote for the last time! IT'LL WORK THIS TIME HONEST

they think, because i heard peter mandelson say so, that they've got this far on "spending" policies. but now they need also to show they are "fiscally responsible".

and in that "also" the whole mendacious nonsense collapses. like social policies are somehow "let's pretend" policies. xp

it's gonna really hurt them losing the backing of a democratic socialist firebrand like Baron Sainsbury of Turville
