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

David Davis has fairly strong principles around privacy, if nothing else, and I wouldn’t put it past him to die on that hill.

Given what is going on wrt Brexit impact assessments he is probably looking to die at the nearest hill.

re: Dylan Jones -- his politics and centrist dad-isms aside -- isn't it just weird to trash the cover of your own magazine like this?

RIP it's sad he was a choad

xp not if you were trying to stitch Corbyn up in the first place - which I’m guessing hasn’t happened on the page.

in minor but signally unstartling news the eat-the-book guy invoked in the OP was boasting this morning abt how validated he feels in re the last five years in politics

I thinking getting Eat The Book into the urban dictionary is his crowning achievement, he shouldn't be so modest about that.

re: Dylan Jones -- his politics and centrist dad-isms aside

This is the point where 'centrist dad' officially tipped over into over-use. He's a straight up Tory.

indeed, let’s save centrist dad for those more deserving milquetoasts, dylan jones would happily see all of us packed off to the soylent green plants

his wikipedia entry is slender and incomplete -- tho it does mention the 2008 column in the mail where he declared his support for the tories, as well as this fine sentence (which I refuse to believe he didn't write himself): "Jones has penned multiple books"

Penning is hard on the fingers

i too have penned multiple books*


*by drawing dicks in the margins

I'd imagine the children's books that Joe Orton drew dicks on would be more essential than any of Goodwin's oeuvre.

I am sure you probably believed that terms was over-used before I did anything with it.

Cameron and Jones are straight-up Tory. However Cameron came across (not to you or me) as something less than that. Enough for the Lib Dems to form a coalition government and for much of the Labour right to wish he was their leader.

Its a mess I don't make the rules.

Was gonna say, Dylan Jones is the WORST kind of Tory (and I was in the offices of Edgy Style Mag/Website today looking at archives for A Thing, and he was once its music editor and showed no signs of a desire to be power-adjacent) in that he went to St Martin’s on a full grant and is thus a traitor to the rest of us.

Kill me I am engaging with GQ content:

I love how the people in it are "we will ask the questions that no one has and get to the TRUTH" its hilarious.

Love him or hate him, you have to respect him

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

Tusk has just formally confirmed that Varadkar will get an official veto on any Brexit discussions.

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

They think of it as 'two Bonds'.

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

long-term subscriber loyalty is p much the base-level model of any magazine that isn't youth-oriented, so i don't actually find it that unimagineable

So who's on the cover of Irish GQ?

My mum's dream Irish GQ cover star.

oh jaysis

i still occasionally suffer bouts of ptsd from interacting with daniel o’donnell fans when i worked the bar at his gigs in glasgow royal concert hall

my mum is going to see him in Harrogate next week I believe.

my condolences

Why did that need confirming, that was built in from the start.

my mother in law was a massive DD fan until he said something a bit ecumenical one time

Did he offer to have a look at her gas boiler

psyched for ireland to determine the future of the uk, love a poetic irony

What if we insisted on a border between us and them lunatics

nobody would blame you

except the Leave ultras I drink with

Krishnan Gurumurthy quibbling with Crispin Blunt over how long it takes to look at internet porn. All the important issues covered.

KGM ia terrible! This whole interview is two people talking at the same time

KGM has always been centrist dad central

Also a manspreader, as seen by me when he was chowing down on felafel outside the old Betty’s Café near ITN.

Damn, I miss Betty’s. They did incredible felafel.

never forget

dammit suzy I want falafel now

I want that jumper!

deadly combination of Fintan O'Toole + Mairtin O'Muilleoir + Kate Hoey on AQ tonight make me feel like renouncing my Irish roots, voting for Brexit and then committing suicide.

I've only seen O'Toole moving once as opposed to in written format

It was in person, at the gate theatre

Shoulda kilt the cunt

fucking Nigel Dodds as well.

do we think the minister of state for redtube will go eventually

he may retire to spend more time with his hand
