Jon Snow and the White Walkers.

It was real and possibly pronounced ‘wypipo’.

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

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.

Oh no you won't

He is a “pantomime producer, living locally”.

a) broken robot but also b) possibly she is thinking that people voting against her bill all have their own ideas of a solution, but if it's set up against an actual* proposal from the second day of Letwin, then she may gain people back.

* I was going to say concrete, but of course the chances are that it will be anything but, which will also be an argument for the WA - or would be if this was last week, when the WA was something that could happen on an agreed timetable.

I know I should always lower my expectations for May, however now that she has shown herself unable to even resign successfully I'm not sure exactly where else I can lower my expectations to. Even shitting on the speaker's chair would be an improvement at this stage.

she'd probably miss the chair tbh.

although at least she might finally deliver some strength and stability!

So, about those ill-judged placards last weekend

Should sadiq khan resign as London mayor?

He don’t give a shit about people dying! His only interested in the salary!

— Leigh (@LPADVA) March 10, 2019

(oh, that's a poll, the result was 100% yes. based on 1 (one) vote)

fair play for not getting his/her poll hijacked by snowflakes tbh

Boy did I pick the wrong time to get on the wagon. But I guess my liver wouldn't last until this stuff is over.

Exclusive: TIG (Change UK) considers a Labour & Cooperative Party-style electoral alliance with the Lib Dems https://t.co/bBFeaYvAeD

— Adam Payne (@adampayne26) March 30, 2019

On Lib Dem leadership:

Swinson set to be backed by most LD MPs. Keenest to work with TIG.

Moran expected to run. Insiders say she has a strong chance despite inexperience. Strong post-Coalition pitch.

Davey most organised. Least keen to work with TIG. https://t.co/wNrvnWlcdk

Just thought I'd add that as much as the D Edgerton book is some great weed clearing history lessons and some brilliant reading. There is a bit where he describes Ken Livingstone as one of the "most intelligent and interesting" of the 'loony left' in those GLC years!

The FTPA is the gift that never ends. If she can’t get the numbers to hold an election she’ll have to call a VONC in herself. And they still might vote confidence in her. Can’t quit, won’t quit.

At this point she should just launch a whole bunch more unwinnable fights whilst being implacably opposed to altering the red lines on her Brexit deal. She might as well start advocating for electoral reform before a GE in the hope of better numbers for all the good it will do.

I am looking forward to her failing to VONC herself. Almost definitely won’t happen but the concept is amusing.

LOL @ Tories shittin' themselves.

And each other!
