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

Liking how LORD Adonis is being kicked like a little bitch. So far these Euro Parliament elections are nothing but pure joy.

that fucking guy is just... how do you get that old with so little grace and self awareness .. oh yeah I forgot he is a Blairite cunt.

Well enjoy the guy beating himself up. Must've hurt to have these words against his name:

Oh dear...This is what happens when you’re forced to toe the pro-Brexit Corbyn Labour line... what a pity. pic.twitter.com/7YV3L3ArXp

And here's another grifter begging not to be sacked in the morning:

Since I announced my Change UK candidacy I’ve been accused of Islamophobia – it’s nothing short of a smear campaign https://t.co/BFaCq8345Y

this menace of the attempted online grooming of vulnerable ppl needs to be dealt with!

It is with a heavy heart that I say that it's time for the decent members of Change UK The Independent Group to leave, and form a new centrist party

was racism a problem in the party before heidi allen became leader ?

Jared O'Mara might be on the Labour frontbench by now if he'd been able to get Drowned In Sound to delete all his posts

Instead there's nowhere for him to go, only Change UK will have him in this state.

lol, obv the trots have a boiler room and an army of bots making them look like racists, you weapon!

it's a bit much resigning because somebody lied about you on the internet

Resigning because you lied about yourself on the internet is even weirder.

i'm certain that the rest of the CUK MPs are hugely embarrassed by Gapes and constantly laughing at him behind his back

"far left trot trolls" is a tongue-twister for the 21st century tho

It has led to a serious misreading of Brexit as imperialism. In fact most Brexiter thought is radical liberal, dreaming of a return to unilateral free trade. Boris Johnson and others pepper speeches with references to cheap imported food, clothes and shoes for British workers. On the other hand, much of the campaign for Brexit recalled the nationalism of the 1960s and 1970s: take back national control, fund the National Health Service, keep out immigrants – Europeans as well as non-Europeans – a time when Labour was the anti-EEC party.

Does anyone from useful idiots to true believers really believe a country with the population of 64 million, and a relatively tiny manufacturing industry has some post-brexit imperialist future? Even poorly educated, tabloid reading fuckwits brexit voters that I talk to see that our domestic plutocrat shitheels like Dyson are outsourcing everything to fuck, and being a satellite of the behemoth China is much more likely our future. The only people misreading brexit as an imperialistic project are deranged numpts like Gavin Williamson, whose opinions truly don't count. But I still like reading Edgerton a lot, especially on 40's/50's Britain.

Right, but that's because perfidious Continentals are holding you back, stuffing your dues into the engines of Germany.

Stuffing our what into what now

Yeah fair point, I hadn't actually read that out!

Meanwhile, the traditional home for racists delivers ...

hard to believe that people with repellent racist and Islamophobic views could end up in the party historically dedicated to resisting social change and to suppressing minority rights

a LOT of seumas milne conspiracism on the TL this week

this was perhaps the most egregious, considering LOTO was recently hit on the head, a labour candidate was punched in the face on the doorstep and a labour councillor’s house was shot up

not to mention a labour MP was literally murdered in the recent past

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/apr/25/may-faces-calls-for-inquiry-over-huawei-leak

Getting MI5 in to interrogate half the leadership contenders with threats of prosecution under the OSA would be hilarious.

Javid, Williamson and Hunt have explicitly denied it themselves. It sounds like Mordaunt and Fox have relied on others to deny it for them. I find it hard to believe it is going to have been anyone other than The Disgraced Former.

It would be a glittering end finale-to-act-three-of-fourteen of his career.

If a cab minister is found out and prosecuted then can't be an MP anymore?

that's a big bunch of if, who is doing the finding and the prosecuting here?

they're all good lightning rods brent

It’s possible to be an MP from prison iirc.

case in point: fiona onasanya is still an MP

parliamentary rules = less than a year's sentence and it's all cool

Fiona Onasanya is under recall petition right now.

You still get an automatic recall petition.

(xp)

The leak is clearly Williamson, right?

Only Cronos can tell

He's at the centre of a web of deceit.

The other big ‘if’ with the OSA is whether the jury would convict a fine upstanding Minister like Fox for leaking something he perceived to be a threat to national security.

I am not sure Williamson would have denied it so strongly if it was him.

On another note, the TOEIC scandal is not going away:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/apr/26/home-office-faces-legal-action-over-english-test-cheating-claims

The combination of slapdash policy and penny-pinching on legal aid is going to keep costing the government money in costs for successful appeals, on this and other things, for many years to come.

I would not trust Williamson at all and am mystified, once again, at why May promoted him. The old "keep your enemies closer" cliche?

he promoted himself iirc

political soap opera fans might like to note that vince cable was possibly/probably alluding the good boy alex sobel when he was ranting about the dangerous extremists taking over labour in leeds but he's so incoherent and full of bullshit it's unclear if even he knows

Vince was in the coalition so he knows a dangerous extremist when he sees one

Btw...are you all voting in the euro elections? I haven't got my poll card yet lol. But that aside...idk still feel we are leaving...somehow.

I'll vote assuming i can get to the polling station, spent too long boycotting Labour in the last two decades not to back them now

Will be on honeymoon, alas.

Congrats! And i think you've got the better deal

Congrats! However surely you can do Postal voting. No excuses my fellow European.

Is it too late to apply for a postal vote now? Only thought about it the other day when i realised i'm just as likely to be on some insane work shift that stops me getting to the poll

you'll have euro voting rights owing to marriage by then?
