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

Customs union by itself doesn’t wholly solve the border, I think the single market is more important. And if you’re moving that way, the question is going to be, increasingly, what’s the fucking point?

Blue passports and open racism!

The point has always been to be able to say you've honoured the result of the referendum with as straight a face as possible.

Plus as i've said before the UK seems too politically mental to work as a committed member of the EU anyway.

yeah its not so much a divorce as who looks after the mental brother when your parents die

you'd expect some ultra slow-cooked brino to be exquisitely flavourful but this mush is like dishwater!

Brave boys in Afghanistan using pics of Corbyn's face for shooting practice instead of someone I hate >:[

I guess that’s a view.

Something that will bring a smile to JRM's face at least:

is that the real ('real') toilet paper uk or one of the many parodies? either way, lol

At least dead members can't cut their cards!

But how to cut it? Diagonally? In Four? Through the word "Member", or the other side?

Poor old Tories ;_;

lol @ politically homeless turning points twitter account holders

The madder the member the more diagonal the cut, although this is based on a relatively small sample size.

heart fn bleeds

i'll believe it when i see a crushing electoral defeat and not one second before

I regret to inform you that baggymp was listening to Nuthin' But a "G" Thang this morning.

the CP membership cards are a lot nicer than the flimsy cardboard nonsense you get for the LP

We have our first resignation - Nigel Adams, junior minister for Wales;

I and many others agreed with your previous position that no deal is better than a bad deal.

It now seems that you and your cabinet have decided that a deal - cooked up with a Marxist who has never once in his political life put British interests first - is better than no deal.

I profoundly disagree with this approach and I have therefore decided that I must reluctantly tender my resignation.

rip big man, heaven needed a minister i've never heard of

The average of Tory members is 90, a card would bring back unpleasant memories of rationing and National Service.

comforting memories!

heaven might get a few more of those today.

socialist Marxist

heaven is facing a critical shortage of whey-faced racist granny-starvers

RIP big man heaven needed a Harry Enfield impersonator

Was gonna say...

This is inhumane

And still far too common

Interesting that we haven't seen any of these people resigning today, hmm, I wonder why...?

May heavily trolling Corbs by commending the 50th anniversary of Trident and the 70th of NATO to the house in her PMQs opener, LOL (he didn’t bite).

Xps

The existence of such "care plans" for autistic children would shame any era in this country, but 2019 and isolation is the solution, fuck this austerity and all its apologists forever.

Caroline Johnson, a Tory, asks about the risk of a no-deal Brexit compared to the risk to the country from a “Marxist, antisemite-led government”.

LOL @ these utter clowns.

how that boot taste, caroline

Thousands of Official Complaints about Woke Jon Snow, Again, is it.

One of the reasons we aren't currently seeing Cabinet resignations is that they clearly don't believe May and Corbyn will be able to come to any kind of agreement, which seems highly plausible given that May clearly won't shift on anything of substance, and Corbyn has nothing to gain and everything to lose from a pact with the Tories.

Yes. But also can we infer that in their 7-hour meeting yesterday this conclusion was openly discussed and agreed on?

I don't believe May openly discusses anything at all with her Cabinet.

some interesting rubbish from anthony barnett

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/what-should-corbyn-do-now-response-aaron-bastani/

it confronts us with an unavoidable binary choice. We are either in the EU or not. The key question is which of these two outcomes can then create an inclusive future.

The decisive failure of all the Brexiteers and Lexiteers is that they have shown themselves incapable of reaching out and building support. The kind of country they want us to be has shown itself to be ineradicably divisive in a deeply unproductive way. I would argue that this follows from their ‘Great British’ exceptionalism and its superiority complex. But whatever the reason, they cannot resolve the divisions Nandy identifies.

But we – the remain side – can. We can win the argument to remain in the EU as democrats, not would-be aristocrats. This is why Nandy and you are profoundly mistaken to think you can swerve around a clear resolution by embracing a soft Brexit. This will preserve the very divisions you wish to overcome. We have to build on the democracy that was the kernel of the 2016 referendum; make its moral force our own and apply it to ensuring people can have control by putting any deal back to them in a People Vote.

i don't really disagree with that prognosis -- barnett is not a fool -- but i'm a bit baffled by the when and where of "making its moral force our own". the "we" in question has a few days and not much of a platform, novara notwithstanding

late entrant for the gold medal in the gammon-safari olympics from the grauniad today btw

strolling past the green where the market town of Grantham is soon to erect a statue of its most famous daughter, William Hemstell admitted to having mixed feelings about the news that the local MP Nick Boles was quitting the party which Margaret Thatcher once led.

[...]

“I had faith in him one time but he’s been part of a great betrayal of voters by some MPs at Westminster,” said Anthony Peres, 33, a photographer, satanist (“We’re a diverse bunch”) and Ukip voter in the Lincolnshire constituency that recorded one of the country’s largest votes for Brexit with 60% of voters backing leave.
