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

Yay, Leonard is the new leader of the SLab.

what's that sobbing, foot-stamping sound i can hear off in the distance?

yaaaaaasssssss

would hope that in the spirit of unity anybody who's dismayed by this vote gets the fuck out of the Labour party and never comes back

otm

I figured he'd win when my local party supported him - they opposed Corbyn.

Until now, Scottish Labour had backed centrist candidates, with its members voting in the UK party’s leadership election for Corbyn’s rival, Owen Smith, last year.

This is great, had not expected this tbh

57/43.

Any reaction from the SNP yet?

panic, i’d imagine

OTM - on top of their worst week for a long time.

Scottish Labour are still “holed below the waterline” according to an unimpressed Ruth. After the complete shitshow of the last few months (+years) can she really still count on those sectarian votes?

He does have two first names as a name, which usually makes me wary of people.

lol

I'm not sure how much longer she can carry on the fiction that the Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party is somehow not connected with the Tories down in That London.

LOCK HER UP

just a bit of no fun, let's not be cool

"The source described her invite to the programme as a "fantastic opportunity... to speak about politics and Labour values on one of the most popular and watched TV shows in the UK"."

It's not really, is it, because any politics chat is likely to get cut as it always is on these kinds of shows.

Think of the class consciousness he unleashed...

Today we find out which European city has won the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

But what a loss for the UK: 900 jobs, €322m budget (89% from fees & charges, 5% from EU), health industry setting up nearby & 40,000 business visits a year. Gone from London. Thanks to #Brexit. pic.twitter.com/kGjYuebpvC

They're voting right now. It's down to three cities: Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Milan.

Dammit :(

Suck it up m8

EBA (banking authority) being voted on now. It's down to Dublin and Paris.

Fuckin ironic if we get it

They're counting the votes now... (amazed Frankfurt was out; in 2nd voting round Dublin got 13 votes, Paris 10, Frankfurt 4)

It's a draw just like the previous one. Coin toss! (not making this up)

Aww, it's Paris, soz

Hold on, you listed an odd number of votes for the 2nd round, how was the final round a draw?

That's what's being reported:

Frankfurt is out of the running for the #EBA. Keep up with our live blog https://t.co/K7Ha5zLoc7 pic.twitter.com/GqMzcWKWlT

Mike Dean's call obv

Haha

@Jim, I wondered that myself! Was going off Politico too. I've no answer for you unfortunately.

The EMA one was also A'dam 13 - Milan 13. Coin tossed.

Golden goal.

One country probably abstained.

Not politics except it is: Paperchase recant on advertising in the Daily Mail.

We’ve listened to you about this weekend’s newspaper promotion. We now know we were wrong to do this - we’re truly sorry and we won’t ever do it again. Thanks for telling us what you really think and we apologise if we have let you down on this one. Lesson learnt.

this Legatum shit is exciting huh

what's this legatum shit?

1/. Ok, by popular demand, here's a quick thread on what you should know about Legatum, #HardBrexit and...Russia

Jesus fucking Christ I am going to scream.

The Legatum Institute is probably the world’s most prominent anti-Putin think tank. They employ Anne Applebaum ffs.

so what's your interpretation of this probe into Vote Leave

Xp, it looks like a grey area - there is no bar on Vote Leave giving money away as long as they don’t dictate how it is spent - though if there is evidence that they were coordinating it would be in breach of the rules. The donation to the DUP looks more dodgy imo as that was pretty clearly done to hide the donor.

hmm

by extension, is carole cadwalladr iyo the last bastion of fearless truthseeking in a world turned sour, a nutcase, or something in between

*hits up Mr.X monologue on youtube* again

This is good, fingers crossed:

More than that; the @haringeycouncil HDV might be finished now. Add to those @ClaireKober supporters the names of the @MayorHaringey and the Chair of Overview & Scrutiny. One other kobinet Cllr could be defeated tonight. Three face trigger ballots this week. #Itisoverforkober https://t.co/aVMoEskgPp
