one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

also nice of Corbyn to weigh in officially on the "baldrick cunning" thread

Dan Hodges saying Corbyn’s in big trouble so obviously not, eh?

LOL, what a useless chump.

this level of desperation is heartwarming

Ah a Sun hack is on Twitter to tell us about misogyny.

To explain this debacle we now go live to new Minister Without Portfolio Gillian Duffy

If you were a novelist and named your fictional secretary of state for housing and communities Brokenshire no one would swallow it.

I know we've moved on lol

Hot take - this will change precisely no one's mind about anything but will distract everyone for 24 precious cliff edge hours and really fuck up the Christmas shopping trips of a lot of professional lip readers.

the BBC are really running with this, it's like a Day Today bit

Anything to avoid reading and reporting on a 168 page racist white paper published by the government today I guess

i don't think you can call it racist, the new policy welcomes migrant labourers as long as they remain shackled at all times

If you were a novelist and named your fictional secretary of state for housing and communities Brokenshire no one would swallow it.

Used to be Northern Ireland Secretary!

Lead story on the BBC, 15 minutes spent on it, some Tories asking Bercow to act - on the use of unparliamentary language that no-one heard.

Man this guy is weird

FYI- I have to say, I saw Jeremy Corbin call the Prime Minister a “stupid woman” with my own eyes watching on @SkyNewsPolitics

Must not have finished reading the wite paper yet

Good of the guy who made a sex tape with a 16 year old to weigh in.

big day for ephebophilia awareness itt

One hates to be one of those people but I'm going to complain to the Beeb about their fucking ott coverage of this bollocks. Ffs apart from anything "stupid woman" ia fairly mild accusation aimed at someone who has...fuck it I'm gonna have a stroke if I go on.

A by-election in Peterborough on a Labour majority of 600 :/

hey Britishers, has it been clearly established yet that TM is a) a woman and b) stupid

I mean, hard to tell from across the pond here but all signs point to "yes" and "yes"

The conventional wisdom is and has always been that she is a shit robot, not a person

a compelling argument!

She's worse than stupid. Stupid I can forgive.

I watched the points of order and the sight of all those Tory wankers popping up plus the *tone* made me want to smack each of them and steal their lunch money.

If only he had called her a “bloody difficult” woman

Nobody suggested censuring him for calling ALL of the benches opposite 'stupid', funny that.

One Tory MP told The Sunday Times newspaper “assassination is in the air”. Another said the PM was now entering “the killing zone”.

A former Tory minister told newspaper: “The moment is coming when the knife gets heated, stuck in her front and twisted. She’ll be dead soon.”

The Mail on Sunday reported that another Conservative politician said May should “bring her own noose” to a meeting of backbenchers on Wednesday.

yeah but they didn't call her stupid

Lol the Hill and the NYT are running pieces on this. How far are we from a Trump tweet?

"Following on from the news that two planes have collided above London reigning death and destruction down onto the populace we return to our main story of what Jeremy Corbyn might have said at PMQs"

Cool to see that political parties are held to wildly different standards wherever you are in the world.

Whatever happened to civility in the Commons?

Having a quick rifle through the Hansard archives. Margaret Thatcher was called a "stupid woman" (twice) during a 1990 debate on the European Council of Rome. She was talking about Iraq at the time, pic.twitter.com/LxbpOEDa9f

well idk thread today is somewhat of a study in holding different ppl to different standards nest pas

You mean over something they didn't say? I don't know, is it?

Is the implication that ppl here wd give more of a fuck if it had been a tory being lipread saying it about a labour woman? Cause i promise you on the bones of christ that i wd not give two shits in that scenario either

altho tbf i wd probably not think it was good and funny, like i do this

That would be lead story on the national news too, of course.

One is forced to wonder how often the words "stupid voters" emerge from the lips of politicians of all parties when they converse privately.

🎣

Guess what Newsnight's leading with?

And, taking the fact that he said "Stupid woman" as fact, of course.

Totally ineffectual Labour woman doing more harm and good by apparently admitting he did say it.

nest pas

(Not) to be a pedant but since I know you're quite fond of this tournure, it's 'n'est-ce pas'.

It's a joke, duh.

I can never tell with these things. If so, mea culpa.

think youll find it has a '?' also fyi

:-)

:-)

I don't give a fuck that he said stupid woman, which he clearly did, you don't have to be a professional lip reader to make that out on the video. So why does he have to pretend he said stupid people, it just makes him look shifty and stupid himself. He should have just said, yes I said it, to myself and not to the House, it's not in Hansard or anything, I apologise to all the lip readers out there who were subjected to the vile video of this unprecedented incident.
