I suspect this is bg's point, but the astonishing thing in that Nicholas Winton mention is not the lines on compromise, but that Theresa Fucking Hostile Environment Fucking May has the gall to bringing up a hero of the Kindertransport.

otm, it's fucking nauseating on every level

This morning on Today they were discussing hostile environment in relation to foreign students wrongly accused of cheating and deported. Presenter mentions wasn't May home Secretary when this happened? Like it is the first time it has occurred to him.

rly makes u think

I wonder what her "Farewell" speech in the commons will be like?

I remember Camro even adding a trib to Corbyn's staying power in his.

Somehow, I imagine hers will be somewhat short.

farewell then, theresa may

we'll remember you like this always

Oh @theresa_may , why didn’t we see that emotion more? Things could have been so different....

(A belated homage to bg's superlative Witcher meme.)

She leaves UK more divided and unequal but when a dedicated public servant leaves, look at achievements not just failings. Esp when they are a woman in what’s still a man’s world. So I acknowledge PM brought in imp new laws on equ pay, human trafficking & dv.

The imps and equs will be forever thankful.

Harriet Who?

TM the feminist, lol two child tax credit rape clause was a true game changer for the sisterhood.

look she might well have doomed the country to a bojo premiership and a hard brexit but she took the bold stance that human trafficking was bad

may's tenure ending so much more quickly than thatcher's really shows how far britain has regressed

It all started to go wrong for Theresa May when she unveilled the most left-wing Conservative manifesto since the 60s.

The next Conservative leader needs to be someone who accepts individualism and markets, not someone who calls it "selfish" and moves us even further left. pic.twitter.com/5MMOKtK2xM

Dear the UK, congratulations, please tell us your secrets so that we can use them. Love, the US.

Isn't it the other way around? Just another step on the path to going full BoJo.

yeah, feels like the only thing that’ll keep Boris from the top will be the unseemly haste with which he’s presumably trotting toward No 10 even now, should it cause him to - unaccustomed to moving at speed on his own feet - trip or topple such that he impales his eyeball and, subsequently, brain on a fence spike as he approaches the residence

at which point Gove leaps over his prone, rotund arse and into the doorway, a pinkie-sized erection straining at his trousers as he scribbles down legislation to sell off all libraries, councils and schools to three rather clever chaps with whom he went to school

The very act of running to be Tory leader now is proof that you do not have the strategic intelligence to do the job.

I hate myself for saying this but... Big Dunty OTM?

Boris Johnson will win the membership ballot if he makes it to the final two. Lot of tory mps who don't like the idea of him being their boss on the day to day though, so its quite possible he won't.

Back of a fag packet extremely short term plan for tories: Johnson or other headbanger becomes PM, makes Nigel Farage a lord, gives him important or important sounding job, Farage winds up or cold stores Brexit party and endorses new tory regime, general election before October on platform of 'hard brexit if eu won't agree to everything we say'.

(It's a pretty rickety construction- needs Johnson as PM and Farage to play ball or it won't work at all)

"Lot of tory mps who don't like the idea of him being their boss on the day to day though, so its quite possible he won't."

I think the boris hype machine (or the bbc lol) has done some good work, but it doesn't change this, unless 1922 or whatever powers that be change the rules to give him a cakewalk to victory. fuck knows though, I'm confused as usual.

BREX: 25% (+1)

Labour 21 points behind then, looks bad

tho we've been here before lol

Mon centre cède, ma droite recule, situation excellente, j'attaque.

non-uk person wondering, why are these election polls swinging so wildly day to day?

bcz they're based on small samples with clumsy push=polling questions

Because they're worthless shite?

Especially when Pollsters that were founded by and still have current Tory mps as major shareholders, yes not worthless shite at all.

because our fractured nation is mired in uncertainty

Ok, so presumably when all the votes that do not actively state a remain position are added up when the Euro Vote is closed and announced, Farage will claim another mandate.

Will the total number of votes cast match the 6 million who voted on the Petition to revoke article 50 and remain in the EU?

rly makes u cum think

You puzzled me for 11 seconds there...

Vedi, vici, veni.

Homes Under The Hammer went to BBC2 this morning, Daily Mail.

You puzzled me for 11 seconds there...

shamed for premature posting :(

Don't see the Brexit party getting as many candidates to field in a GE as UKIP did before the referendum when it was a vaguer prospect, plus considering they're trying to distance from both the likes of Batten and Yaxo (who I thought was running in the euros as ukip not independent tho).

lol cable

Cable getting laid... well put out to pasture.

Will never forget the earthshaking LibDem surge of local elections '19. And classic Viz cartoon about old buffoon who needs a shit.
