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

If you think the summer of 2012 represents a high point then we're gonna need a bigger timeline.

We were four years into the financial crisis and two years into austerity by then! The Olympics was fun but the myth of a happy, united, optimistic nation is just that.

Xp The same thinking that got Phil The Greek of the hook.

It was labour backed austerity as well. Many politically homeless ppl actually became homeless or worse.

The Olympics was fun but the myth of a happy, united, optimistic nation is just that.

There's a YouTube of P Hitchins whining about people like him were left out of the ceremony, so you know, not as inclusive as you might think...

lest we forget, the summer of 2012 was the last real summer before we all died on december 21 and ended up here

in hell

2012 olympics = "the austerity games" + "games makers" = gtfo

thanks to BG's reminder i have just discovered that "North and South Magnetic Poles are not antipodal, meaning that a straight line drawn from one to the other does not pass through the geometric centre of the Earth" which i find surprising and indeed worrying, now back to my colleague in the studio, the Ravenous God Bolon Yokte' K'uh

Not working today + enjoying this awesome weather + Austin fucking off = a highpoint

no deal brexit : fogerraboutit

weak magnetic field flip: aaargh my eyes are melting!

when were london riots

2011

If there had been a sensible non-tribal political non-party in 2011 nobody would've rioted

Chuka and R Scrotum on AQ tonight, yay!

and Soubry is on the Last Leg

THEY'RE ALL ON THE LAST LEG AMIRITE?

lool, courtesy of S Bush. Some fucking tool who has just wrote a very bad sounding Corbyn book, previously on Broon the angry socialist - railing against Thatcherism.

I can remember laughing at this years ago as well. but can't remember where.

it's tom bower -- he's a bad writer with a gift for getting a fat biog out just at the right time, i have his book on robert maxwell somewhere

oh this is the one that goes beyond 57 varieties of self-parody. A week is a long time.

I hope that Brown paragraph ends with "something something working families tax credit".

the idea that brown was to the left of blair was very important until brown became pm

Every time I think about GBro I can’t stop thinking about how the best Brown fact is that during the Jacqui Smith scandal, he had to have porn channels explained to him by one of his aides.

(Don’t google “Gordon Brown porn to verify this, you will regret it).

vintage brown

can only thank god theres not a gordon pink rly

Heidi Allen has confirmed the IG will collectively back Theresa May should she face another no-confidence vote.

Various journalists (usual suspects) raging at Corbyn for campaigning in Soubry’s marginal seat today.

Well at least the Indies can be honest Tories now, guess that's something.

the party of Honest Tories & Chuka.

Charlie Mullins, the millionaire behind Pimlico Plumbers, the London company he founded in 1979, switched allegiance from the Tories and donated £25,000 to the Liberal Democrats last year as part of his opposition to Brexit. He also had a stall at the party’s conference for his campaign to stop Brexit. He was now intending to abandon the Lib Dems and support the Independent Group.

the neolib dems are tories... ?

lol! I can't believe this thread missed out on (something so *massive* as) his defection to LibDems.

who da fuq is 4s4 winst4l3y

Just googled them. Oh dear.

Wish those little blue and white vans could actually stop this national emergency. 😢 Well done @PimlicoPlumbers for continuing the fight. #BrexitChaos

40 years of Austrian economics was the emergency you melt

Charlie started his business with just a second hand van and a bag of tools he bought at an auction.

meh a proper rags to riches story would include something about him using his bare hands as an adjustable spanner, until he'd worked them to the bone.

And look at him now - on second thoughts no...

jesus simon le bons looking rough

This whole week has been tedious as but people acting outraged that Labour would target a marginal held by darling of the centre Anna “austerity was good/EU is good/but actual EU citizens are bad” Soubry is uncivil or dangerous are, as ever, the fucking worst.

Look, they are reasonable, civil people with values, everybody else is rabid scum who are also squares

I know it's funny that the man with the melted face has joined the melt party. but i bet there will be a fair bit of uproar in the party about losing such a biggish donor, and especially such a humble wealth creator who doesn't crave the spotlight at all.

I'd forgotten about the time Sol wanted to stand as a tory MP.

Are most footballers Tories? “Hahaha! Probably.”

This is just beautiful.

Corbyn has limited time to stop a new tranche of MPs choosing to sit as an separate Labour group. He has been told to change, requiring him to back a People’s Vote, set up a credibly-run inquiry into anti-semitism, and reorganise his office. Purify or mollify. His choice.

"Separate Labour group"

Co-Op MPs forming a splinter group, maybe?

Not that I’ve heard anything of the kind, but backbench Labour and Co-Op MPs do make up a big proportion of the wingers.

I'm guessing this will end with Labour whipping to support the Kyle amendment (and presumably the Cooper one as well). And then the likes of Hoey, Flint, Skinner etc vote against it anyway and the whole thing goes down in flames.
