"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

Which is why People's Vote lot want a split so much. According to them the base of both Tory and Labour Party have lost it with only the Lib Dems being the adults in the room. Shame there is only 10 of them.

Cable counts as 2 adults tho

Yeah but Farron is three babies standing on each other’s shoulders.

I stepped on some Cable in the park earlier, might throw them shoes out tbh.

xp Hey, please nobody ruin Vincent Adultman for me!

Guy Verhofstadt:

We cannot have an agreement with uncertainty in the UK based on majorities of six, seven, eight, nine votes in the House of Commons. Cross-party cooperation is the way forward, and I can say that we welcome also the letter that Jeremy Corbyn has written today to Mrs May to offer such a cross-party exit. It is important now that this leads to a position in the UK that has the broadest possible majority so that we can conclude this negotiation.

The Lib Dems have sent an email that’s so terrible that it’s actually quite sweet. pic.twitter.com/B2xdMZldMx

Can't abide Guy Verhofstadt tbh

Oh, 200,000 people supporting a people's vote. Super work.

You could subtract de-industrialisation, immigration, the tabloid press, the financial crisis, Corbyn from the politics of the past decade, and still imagine a path to Brexit. Subtract "The Conservative Party", and Brexit is simply unthinkable.

Theresa May is unable to reach a sensible deal because it would split the Tories – and we will never vote for a bad Tory deal.

If Parliament is deadlocked, then the best outcome would be a general election. Without it, we will keep all options on the table, as agreed in our party conference motion, including the option of a public vote.

xp. that's wrong though. you definitely could not subtract immigration and end up with brexit because it's a british nationalist nativist project

corbyn letter just arrived in my inbox. reaction to 2nd reffers shitting the bed after corbyn 5 tests letter

it is going to be one unholy shitshow when the dam fully breaks on this (on both sides)

Reading this piece on an old Scottish by-election...and Bobby Gillespie's dad:

http://www.tribunemag.co.uk/2019/01/the-govan-by-election-thirty-years-on

I remember it well, Boab's dad could barely string two sentences together.

... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

friend of mine sent juncker a thank you card

I knew you'd be the first one to comment on this btw :-)

he used to drink in my local

he’d put on a full nights worth of country on the jukey so another regular couldn’t listen to the smiths

xxp seriously?!?! The giant card?

hero imo xp

yep

ffs let's not get too carried away here :p

I can remember some (Scottish?) NME hack decades ago, opening up a Boab interview with some very evocative prose about what a great political orator Boab sr was, a true inspirational w/c hero etc. Maybe he became infected by Boab's Walter Mitty tendencies or just thought it made good copy, but "Boab's dad could barely string two sentences together." deffo has the ring of truth.

Put it this way, he singlehandedly threw away a majority of 13,000 in Govan largely as a result a single TV appearance, despite his subsequent attempts to paint it as some sort of anti-Left conspiracy.

That and the fact he came over as yet another Scottish Labour dullard expecting to hoover up votes simply by pinning a red rosette.

thank god those days are gone :p

is there a Tom D bat-signal equiv. for every time Blobbly Gillespie is mentioned on ILX?

lol

What can I do, he's even getting mentioned in UK poltics threads now, he's following me not the other way round.

feel an MR James ghost story coming on.

any further detail on sample size, questions etc of TSSA polling ?

I've yet to see a link to, let alone screenshots/copies from that poll. Sample size 5,000, but that's about all I know.

Dear Leavers, Thank you. You were right to give the establishment a kicking.

lol at caroline lucas’ gammon safari video showing plenty of footage of her listening to people but nothing of what they actually said, presumably because most of it was ‘hang the furriners’

if the Greens enable Brexit they could lose up to 45 seats

did we discuss the article re labour and antisemitism xyzzzz posted

was it even on this thread

I was nodding off to 40 mins of Labour AS coverage courtesy of PM earlier. If only they gave 5 minutes to Baroness Warsi's plea for an independent conservative party islamophobia enquiry the other day, over genuine use of p-word from members that wasn't being challenged.
