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

and i believe their position on Brexit was 1) leave 2) remain in the customs union

surely if they are good for anything they can be good for holding may's minority government to ransom over this probably best-case brexit scenario?

THATS A PRETTY FUCKING BIG "IF"

just saying

granted

"Threatened". It kills these guys that they have to deal with Ireland as an equal. Absolutely kills them.
This, my friends, is why we are, and will remain, members of the European Union. https://t.co/Swd8nndt5f

UK threatened by Ireland. A tiny country that relies on UK for its existence. We should advise, we are free to revoke common travel area.

RIP Batten, whoever the fuck you are.

can't believe a UKIP MEP is a pig-ignorant xenophobe

Pooling sovereignty. Is that like sharing virginity?

— Gerard Batten MEP (@GerardBattenMEP) November 26, 2017

uhhh

fun fact: the "UK" in UKIP is short for "United Kingdom", a state made up of 4 countries with shared sovereignty.

ok NI isn't a country but you know what I mean

Still 18 more months until next Euro Parl elections :[

those aims were pre-election: the post-election situation is different, in that the DUP has already secured quite a large amount of money for NI, against a confidence-and-supply deal -- i don't think we know whether this support was actually firmed up and nailed down for a situation like this but if anyone can find room to further turn the screw (for even more money? or other concessions?) it's the DUP

i just want to say that i believe good progress is being made itt. but more remains to be done. i am feeling positive.

"The final result is far from a foregone conclusion because voting is carried out on a one-member-one-vote basis and candidates such as Izzard have a huge national profile."

Yasmine Dar – 206.

Rachel Garnham – 188.

Jon Lansman – 182

Eddie Izzard – 71.

Must remember to send my NEC ballot off in a few days, I'm not even thinking about the composition of the NEC - fucking off Eddie Izzard again is my main motivation.

who needs any other incentive than thwarting the sharp-witted SDP supporter?

like all good Blairite running dogs our Edward claims to have "no agenda"

some of his profuse gushing + fawning claptrap on Brown/Blair from back in the day is almost too painful to read.

I wd suggest that he is not a deep thinker

just had a nightmare vision of Martin Freeman running for the NEC

god imagine a political party composed of loveable light entertainment legends and Ed Balls

it's easy if you try

imagining Izzard vs Brand in a furious debate on post-Marxism and whether that would be funnier than their actual acts in 2017

some people accredit Izzard with a lot of intelligence because he is multi-lingual and also talk of his alleged surreal qualities, some people's surreal is other peoples verbal diarrhoea. I mean the memoir he is currently plugging is subtitled "a memoir of love, death and jazz chickens". That loudly signals smug Radio 4 humourfail shite alert to me, nothing surreal about it at all.

otm

he is like a boring person's idea of a barmy surrealist. like, even more than noel fielding

aye this fucker hasn't earned his Daniil Kharms stripes at all, he is more from that UK tradition of studied zaniness imo.

push him in the pit

NI Unionists are doing what they've been doing since time immemorial: the right to be British except when being British gets in the way of their own self interest at which point they demand special favours not given to their fellow Britons.

Also being fundamentalist Christians which is relevant far more often than it appears to be in any other theatre of European politics

At what point does this seemingly endless fucking paralysis actually end?

Some fuckin' Royalist Arlene Foster is:

...in a post on Mrs Foster's Twitter account, she mistakenly sent her best wishes to his already-married brother.

"Congratulations to HRH Prince William on his engagement to Megan (sic) Markle," she posted.

"Wonderful news this morning!"

The tweet was quickly deleted, with Mrs Foster correcting her error.

Brothers in arms dump

Hoping some Murican blood injected into the royal family bloodstream will be the death that atrocious institute. It won't will it?

whatever works

Heh

It's not the American part that would be the first objection I can imagine Philip raising

Already tired to death of the "she was in Suits kids! Steamy scenes lads! Murican! Divorced! Bit of the ole oh-la-laa amirite guys? Ingerland needed something positive! Think of the million mugs that'll be made and sold!" hot takes. And I'm not even in the UK rn.

Royalty is the worst Groundhog Day and deserves it's own circle in hell.

It didn't work the last time it was tried. Still it did prevent an actual Nazi from being a king.

Prepare to hear about how they're benefitting from her common touch from now until you die and they harvest your organs.

From now until the affairs, suicide attempts, separation and divorce surely?

another celebz story. Just going to finish my Ocado order _(┐「ε:)_

It'll be a three months long opium for the masses 'high' while MayBot and company stumble through a brexit process absolutely disastrous for the working class and the poor.

But we sure shifted those 'keep calm and love 'arry and meggin' mugs and onesies and flags and pies! We take care of our own 'ere!

I've no doubt the wedding will be planned either on or around a significant and difficult hurdle/screw-up in the ongoing success story that is brexit.

_(┐「ε:)_

I'm intruiged but cannot make out what the hell this is :)

Intrigued even

_(┐「ε:)_ Giving Up and Dying

my main thought so far has been "this has to be worth a day off work"

I don't see it Calz but ty :)

'A day off work' indeed: something everyone will be completely grateful for. As the tiny chain links in need of oiling that we are.

don't you ever lie on your side and decide to stop living?
