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

Putting the o in "Oh Overton Window".

here's another:

Delighted to have established a network of people interested in supporting (& in many cases helping to set up) a possible @RadicalsUK party.

— Jeremy Cliffe (@JeremyCliffe) October 18, 2017

hurrah for the Radical Suk party!

A pro-tech, pro-Europe, social liberal movement

ohmygod you crazy radicals will you draw a line nowhere?

maybe they mean 'radical' more in the bill & ted sense, duder

I mean I can understand why if you're the middlest of the middle class you might wanna dress it up a bit but you're not really fooling anybody

the political scene suddenly being full of centrist ultras fighting over the status quo would be entertaining as hell tho

ok it wasn't between 1995 and 2010 but this is different

luv2radically occupy the blandest space on the political spectrum

seems appropriate that the 'r' in their logo is beige

radical suk have just retweeted this, fittingly the most equivocal piece of praise imaginable

Bored by the tonnes of scorn poured on @JeremyCliffe and @RadicalsUK. Ofc it's probs doomed to fail, but good on them for having a go anyway

as they said to the lads at Gallipoli

tell you what, if they get Blair or Clarke on board this could be the steamroller broad front centrist Tory party that fans of lulz like me have been crying out for

I've gotta do a new Think Tank poll, "Working to make government more effective" is the most pulse-pounding mission statement I've ever seen

What is the actual point of non-binding parliamentary voting? Just a bit of a lark in the funhouse and MP's add to their How They Vote stats.

"MPs vote 299 to 0 and therefore the “pause and fix” to Universal Credit motion passed after the government called a three-line whip for Tories to abstain."

Tory Sarah Woolaston and deputy DUP leader Nigel Dodds both voted with Labour.

John Redwood agreed with me, before they lost their majority.

lol i googled yr question and arrived at the exact same page and DID NOT CLICK

Ahh, that first dose of John Redwood in a day is like a blast of holy sunshine!

This is so otm from Frances Ryan.

Odd development. Dodds has said he *didn't vote* for Labour motion. Mistaken for Anneliese Dodds on the ayes list https://t.co/BuQE5gmjUJ

lol! Correction, I thought this sounded a bit so not going to happen.

Genuinely bizarre. The majority of events in question are held by student unions, rather than the universities themselves, so i have no idea how they're meant to mandate speakers the SU doesn't want to invite are included.

Wouldn't Germaine Greer talking to a tiny audience of Young Conservatives in a empty hall be such an amazing victory for freedom of speech.

Johnson said that free speech was one of the foundations on which the UK’s higher education tradition was built.

this is an out and out ahistorical lie

presumably this is to bring universities in line with the UK's constitutional right to freedom of speech tho

So they've given up on trying to win the youth vote already then?

i think u might have fallen at the first hurdle there pal

Next time you’re making a significant purchase, a house perhaps, start by saying “I will not accept no deal” and see how the negotiations go

— James Cleverly (@JamesCleverly) October 19, 2017

Cleverly, MP for BrainGenious

next time you're making a purchase, a house perhaps, start by throwing in a confusing double-negative and see how quickly the other party starts crying

i like how that implies another Europe in another neighbourhood we could do a deal with

ha, yeah

it's also another pointless, confusing extension of the metaphor of the economy as a household, which is total bullshit

next time you max out your credit card, try going to the IMF for a loan

to locate that other europe, let's all go to GOR!!

do i want to listen to nothing but Manowar for the rest of my life i ask myself?
