Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

The bants express keeps on rolling

Nigel Dodds tells me the UK should stay in the EU if that was only way to preserve NI’s place in UK. ‘I would stay in the European Union and remain rather than risk Northern Ireland’s position. That’s how strongly I feel about the union.’

This delegation of ministers in Downing Street is urging the PM to say no to a softer Brexit and to go for No Deal Brexit

Speaker points at Parliament and says, "You have betrayed the soldiers who have fought for your country. Shame on you!"

Oh, does he mean the soldiers who fought in Europe to ensure people would never have to fight a Europe-wide war ever again? Fuck off, gammons.

racism's a helluva drug

loyalists, kippers, football lads alliance. basically the worst dregs of humanity in one place.

It was really grim tbh. All of the above plus a smattering of upper-class twits of the worst sort

Some of these guys are walking through the train I’m in rn looking for seats, pray for me pls

I passed some of these demonstrators a while back - younger ones 100% edgelord types and more middle class than me, older ones absolutely nailed on golf Nazis. Thankfully I didn’t encounter any of the loyalists.

So...a stranger comes up to me on the train today + asks “Mr Umunna,what are your favourite garage tracks from back in the day?”
My answer: “Saved my life” by Todd Edwards & “The Energy” by Astro Trax.

sounds like somebody's weighing a clout, testing its heft, in preparation for some castin'

Lol that is the Toriest thing ever. All gripes set aside, no matter how serious or awful, for the good of the party.

Chuka Umunna also defected from UK garage for "soulful house", when the MCs started to get involved, and that is all you need to know about him imho

Jon Snow and the White Walkers.

It was real and possibly pronounced ‘wypipo’.

did may make an address and if so had it any content beyond "everyones a cunt in this life but me"

The view as I walked out the gate at the HoP. Lot of people glaring at me for betraying Brexit.

BREAKING: Dominic Grieve loses confidence vote at Beaconsfield Conservative Association by 182 to 131 votes; paves way for deselection

— Gabriel Pogrund (@Gabriel_Pogrund) March 29, 2019

lmao owned

Baby don't you Grieve after me no no no

thought it was labour that was meant to be nasty and deselecty

Everything Labour does is evil and Stalinist. Stuff like...opposing the government? Targeting seats? All bae and abuse.

Feeling envious that the Tories can get rid of its thrash so easy and Labour have been fucking about.

in ref the point i was making earlier:

Many last-minute switcher Tory MPs now furious with Whips who told them it was close and their vote would make the difference. Not close at all. What a shambles.

— Daniel Moylan (@danielmgmoylan) March 29, 2019

it's the whips' job to pull this kind of stunt but if more lobby journalists were any good at all -- and if journalists generally imparted more actually correct insider information to the world beyond the westminster bubble -- then that job would be much harder. hard not to laugh here maybe bcz relations within the tory party have now reached a toxic level of distrust and shocked despair, and good, bcz fuck em. even so their immolation as a coherent force will likely arrive with an extreme release of toxicity aimed at everything else.

it sure is!

Wonder what Whiney thinks of this whole Brexit thing (newsie wewsies, blood sausage, etc.).

Please do not.

So pathetic. https://t.co/BSGuaI84Hh

— Steve Baker MP (@SteveBakerHW) March 29, 2019

it’s very difficult to see anything other than a hardening of positions now. Tory MPs were frustrated they were told it was going to be close and ended up nowhere near. Hard to see anyone in Parliament being swayed now.

May’s behaviour is both entirely in character and mystifying. What does she think will change? Time, I guess.

Morning thread!

I thought this yesterday when we were talking about the Labour rebels and how there was that great line about how they wouldn’t vote just to narrow her margin of defeat. That’s going to be even truer for the ERG hardliners. What’s the point in spending months talking up your opposition to the deal, only to waste your vote?

I don’t think any of them will vote with her next time.

Dominic Grieve deselection campaign being led by someone who not only stood against him as Ukip candidate in GE 2017, was a UKIP local council candidate and local branch chairman of Ukip, but also stood for the UKIP National Executive Council in 2016... now a Conservative. pic.twitter.com/fuQ4wJilqz

I suspect you will see a fair bit of this as UKIP activists come back into the Conservatives.
