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

love that the party of free enterprise is gonna double-down on boris' 'fuck business' stance and ignore the cbi's warnings entirely

xxp of course, think lots of them had seen how the press went after Miliband for uhhhhhhhhhh reasons and were reluctant to get into that fight again.

revoke article 50 petition's gonna have hit 1m signatures by the time i finish typing this most likely

*firework*

anyomne got any good toilet paper recipes btw

One of the UK’s biggest suppliers of toilet and kitchen roll has been stockpiling about 3.5m rolls in UK warehouses in preparation for a no-deal Brexit.

The German firm Wepa said it had been storing an extra 600 tonnes of toilet and kitchen roll in the last three to four months to safeguard supplies in Britain, in case the UK crashes out of the EU without an agreement on 29 March.

The company has also built six weeks’ supplies of the cardboard core used inside the rolls, as this cannot be sourced from the UK in sufficient quantities and is imported from EU countries in eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

if the nation runs out of toilet paper I will lead a raid on The Sun and The Mail's distribution warehouses

xp
nope, but i buy batches of 108 for £15.49 off e-bay. my hemorrhoids couldn't take that rough murdoch paper as much as I'd love to wipe my arse on it!

Andrex is, or at least was, made in the same factory as the Daily Mail/ Mail On Sunday, fact fans.

Am I right to feel disoriented that the plan appears to be "Present the same Withdrawal Agreement again, having been specifically told that it can't come back without changes"? The phrase "slow motion car crash" is overused, but this is actually nightmarish.

She could change the font to comic sans at least

yeah nightmarish is the word i keep coming back to - this is like watching helplessly from outside your body as your arm inches towards a woodchipper

Assuming the vote ends up explicitly as May's deal or no deal I fully expect one or the other to win with 51.8% of the Commons.

more violent rhetoric about slicing up MPs

sounds like a typical morning in my kitchen if i unfortunately put on the Today show!

Just think how much this disaster will inspire the creative community of musicians, filmmakers, artists, etc! (said a few assholes after Trump was elected).

When Eden lost his marbles during the Suez Crisis he wasn't allowed to do too much damage, this lunatic is running rampant in comparison.

maybe she'll threaten to nuke Ireland. Some muppet did an EU concept album and apparently it is the worst thing ever, which of course was the best it could have been tbf.

not thinking of this donut are you?
https://matthewherbert.com/category/brexit-big-band/

A response, of a sort, from Downing Street to the joint CBI/TUC letter expressing alarm at the possible drift to a no-deal Brexit. (See 2.29pm.) At the lobby briefing, when asked about it, Theresa May’s spokeswoman said:

The PM has said that she’s absolutely determined to do everything she can to leave with a deal that protects businesses and jobs, and provides them with the certainty that they want.

'i've done everything i can, tough shit businesspeople'

get the word certainty out of your mouth, no. 10 - you're not allowed to use that any more

xxp
no this was a Scandinavian artiste I think and she even had a sample of a Juncker speech on one track or something, it sounded so bad on paper I never listened tbh.

after suez but before resignation eden went off for a month's rest-cure to ian fleming's caribbean holiday home goldeneye: but the food was nightmarish and the rats in the rafters weren't hallucinations so sucks to be him lol he came home to discover everyone saying eff off (including the queen) and so he did. macmillan was a world-historical backstabber tb, they don't make em that way any more

really more of a 'what if the pilot decides to plough the plane into the side of a building' scenario at this point tbf

"came up with a poll"

In our ad break @Nigel_Farage came up with a poll and he wants to know what would you vote for next week? #Peston

"should be hung from a pole"

NEW: #EUCO Brexit draft conclusions state: ‘The European Council commits to agreeing to an extension until *22 May 2019*, provided the WA is approved by the HoC next week. Given that The UK does not intend to hold elections to the EP, no extension is possible beyond that date'

that's a big fuckin' 'if'

Sky News can reveal the armed forces have activated a team in a nuclear bunker beneath the Ministry of Defence to step up preparations for a 'no-deal' Brexit

Not only that, but the pendulum will finally swing to the left, it's mathematical!

looks like brighton pavillion has the highest percentage of the electorate to have signed that petition so far, wonder what the lowest is

Every so often the self defeating 100% avoidable stupidity of imminent food and medicine shortages hits home and it really did hit like a brick wall today.

Like, why the fuck is this even an option? It's so profoundly dumb I can feel future generations laughing at us.

It's ok, we'll be dead

the economies in the UK and the eurozone are still so fragile too - with poor monetary headroom to accommodate any economic shock. it would be a particularly bad time to have a no deal

calling 29 march bad friday

shitmas

transfer redline day (© deems) still best

I nearly just started a particularly incendiary poll, but I'll ask it here instead: in the event of WA or No Deal, does Corbyn's position become, iyo, untenable?

You may differentiate between those outcomes. My own instinct is that a WA saves Corbyn, but if No Deal happens then he can't go quickly enough

No.

All of those outcomes are Tory fails so he’ll be over here eating popcorn with everyone else who hates Tories.

Yes, but, as alluded to earlier...optics

Forgive me for starting to feel a little freaked out by No Deal, although I'm still of a mind that something will somehow deflect the asteroid

Idk what he’s meant to do to prevent no deal? Whip his MPs to support a deal & let labour take the hit and condemn the country to decades of hard right government?

Well obviously not that either. I'd almost prefer No Deal but paradoxically I can't see how he'd survive it? Maybe I need to take a chill pill

surely in your system the Opposition Leader can't be faulted for Opposing

at the moment the two options available are: no deal or the deal on the table.

no deal is worse.

no deal will happen if something isn't done.

He should have been agitating for something else all along and for the last few months I'm increasingly thinking he should have been agitating to put a long, long delay if not a full revoke in the works

Still not seeing how that would make Corbyn’s position untenable.

The coverage of May last night is what she should have been getting for the last three years, but she’s basically been playing on easy mode the whole time.

What is the magic something else that the majority of the party will bsck and that would peel away enough conservative MPs to pass the house?

I guess you have a point

I'm happy to see how this plays out. Maybe he'll come out of it stronger. I'm just yknow voicing my concern that he'll cop quite a bit of flak in the case of No Deal
