sn'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.

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.

Happy birthday mark s! Meant to say when it came up earlier but got swept up in all today's exciting Vince cable news

tt just confirmed that literally everyone at her place of work voted green. reckon they might have a second london seat

Where does she work, Costa?

no, she's doing pretty well out of it

That’s good! (I was making a joke about sample size)

enjoyed seeing that picture of may crying when i woke up. basically inject it in to my veins. but feel pretty joyless about the end of her premiership and what lies ahead.

it was a bit of a joke-jam tbh xp

Oh yeah I get it now

my birthday is on resignation day (even if she decides not to resign lol)

Oh yeah I get it now

This, by @stephenkb, is about all I think about May's exit (and why I don't have any sympathy for her) pic.twitter.com/yWwSUhus7f

As much as I agree with criticising Theresa May, mocking her for crying is something I won't do, and I don't think you should either. It's important that we don't lose our own humanity when we something something hahahaha fuck off.

I don't approve of the way the alien ripped the crew of the Nostromo to shreds but the heartrending squeals as it was ejected from the airlock were genuinely moving

so he doesn't just pump iron these days:p

jfc

I'm repetitious on this, but fucking "honourable in her intentions" about May should only be used with the rejoinder: to increase child poverty, or kill disabled people, by members of the Labour Party - who are supposed to be opposed to this type of thing.

Hard to acknowledge somebody increasing child poverty when you've spent decades claiming to have eradicated it

into my veins
