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

the ratios on both tweets are, of course, delightful

On CW, we know about the cranks but my god @ this (on the same thread that Calzino posts, I actually saw that girl's account being inundated last night)

Social democrat crank accounts with tens of thousands of followers are now piling on a 16 year old to defend a Labour MP who went into coalition with the Tories, supported PFI schemes and the bombing of Libya. pic.twitter.com/c3KJwySoED

Vine just lashing out in response to Turdgate

what

Keith Vaz’s decision to readmit Chris Williamson should be reconsidered says Keith Vaz 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ https://t.co/tUv2QKRywj

— Dawn Foster (@DawnHFoster) June 27, 2019

he needs his balls toe’d

Keith Vaz should be thrown out of the Labour Party for being Keith Vaz.

This tweet reveals not one iota of contrition nor any acknowledgement of wrongdoing following a further formal warning from the Labour Party for behaviour grossly detrimental to the party. Such contempt for the Party’s verdict! He has to go! https://t.co/f9E0MelrZK

what a truly creepy bastard, and those morons that have his back should start their own Vichy national revolution party.. cunts.

I expect some kind of contrition from CW because he is winding up some seriously upset people and giving people on the right of Labour exactly what they want to use against the leadership - but what they want changes: first they want Corbyn not to interfere and now they want him to?

seeing how already upset good people like Rhea Wolfson are by his previous actions, that lack of humility and contrition in the response should provoke some extraordinary intervention/action imo. fuck the rules, just pump the idiot for bringing the party into disrepute .. anything just get rid.

His local party can, and almost certainly will, deselect him.

Fingers crossed.

I agree with both of you.

the comments under the lansman tweet are practically driving me into the arms of the lib dems (JUST KIDDING but jesus christ the state of these people)

What’s the mechanism for a recall petition? If party are content to keep him, electorate may decide otherwise.

he can't be recalled

to be eligible for recall you have to be jailed, be suspended from the house of commons for 10 days, or make false expense claims

This guy:

Labour's quest for a Brexit compromise was the right thing to pursue. But it's dead. The party must face facts, back a new referendum with Remain on the ballot paper - or endanger the best chance of a radical transformative government since 1945. https://t.co/p7MoJbBAB4

these posh kids of trade unionist parents are too often a waste of fucking space.

what does the ilx hivemind think is currently the right way for corbyn to go?

Straight to Chris Williamson's house with a milkshake.

ofc going full remain would have some bad consequences but the current kicking the can down the road interminably is just fucking useless

proclaim himself god-emperor and immerse the nation in the immortal science of juche, obv

You could let the membership decide on how Lab policy might change.

Still think PV is a nightmare because you are working with Lib Dems and a whole bunch of remainer worms. Don't think that is the basis for kicking off anything transformative, but it's whatever the membership feel most comfortable with as they will be knocking on doors. xps

doesn't the labour membership want remain tho? like labour voters certainly voted overwhelmingly for it?

and when are they going to have their say on this? via what mechanism?

conference is end of september, lol

make like 0.46 onwards

(That was meant to be 0.21 but the timestsmp I posted twice is much better)

Timetables will need to change. Parliament will probably need to remain open, instead of being burnt to the ground

I think the shonky electrics and rat faeces are more than balances out by the amount of asbestos and sewage leaks so we probably ok on the that score.

as a very rough as fuck qualified electrician who has never even seen the latest reg book (qualified to 16th edition regs and did some quick course to update it to 17th edition a decade and half ago) I'd fucking love to rewire that old decaying husk of a building. Fuck using cable, wet string and twined coathangers will do the fucking job! RCBOs? no no just a fucking old style cartridge fuse with a clout nail in it!

Not entirely sure why Comrade Alphabet is posting an Ash Sarkar tweet from a few months ago, but you do you.

Actually those opinions are from various ppl no one has any trademark on them. Good on her for holding them.

Even so, it's better than defending MLC and trying to be fair to tweets by Dunty. Certainly wouldn't do you.

"The average person listens and says ‘who are these Skripals?’” Putin said. “Treason is the gravest crime possible and traitors must be punished. I am not saying that the Salisbury incident is the way to do it … but traitors must be punished.”

Whatever you (don't) say fuckface

little on the nose from the world's most famous supervillain there

the kgb really taught him well in the art of subtlety huh

So if it's good on her for holding them, what's your issue with Owen Jones (reluctantly) holding them? Other than bad people holding good opinions is bad?

you gotta know when to hold 'em

know when to scold 'em

lmao

freshly dead vs recently embalmed

not quite sure where to post this but guess it fits into the general trend of european far right renaissance

this seems, uh, not good

Truly shocking revelations from Germany this morning of a far-right cell mostly composed of cops connected to the recent murder of a politician which had used their access to police computers to draw up a death list with 25,000 targets on it & stole 10,000 bullets + machine gun

— Andrew Flood (@andrewflood) June 28, 2019

what's that phrase about 'all cops are...' again

lmao

🖼

goddammit indeed, needs the picture

The foreign secretary said if elected he would be the “first prime minister you have had who was an entrepreneur”.

He told the audience: “What do entrepreneurs do? We negotiate. You have to be prepared to walk away if you don’t get the deal you want.

“Secondly you have to figure out what the other guys want to do.”

yes, if only there was some way to have determined what the eu's thoughts are about brexit before 28 june 2019

his comment about "French turds" amuses me more for the ambiguity on how to translate the word

Selon le tabloïd, l'ancien chef de la diplomatie a déclaré que les Français se comportaient sur le Brexit comme des « turds » (qu'on peut traduire par « petites crottes », « fumiers » ou « cons »)

than for its content, since everyone already knows what that guy thinks of France

So if it's good on her for holding them, what's your issue with Owen Jones (reluctantly) holding them? Other than bad people holding good opinions is bad?

Mis-read your post. If she is thinking the same as Owen then that's bad not good. It's just fucking bad full stop.

the one bright spot of our forthcoming blond beast premiership is that jeremy cunt will finally be ousted from the cabinet

Mr Johnson also distanced himself from offering a cabinet position to leadership rival Jeremy Hunt if he becomes prime minister.

He said: “I have a very high regard for Jeremy” before being reminded by the host Iain Dale that it traditionally happens.

Mr Johnson added: “I am not making commitments to anybody”.

then, of course, lol we're all gonna die

FUUUUUUCK OFFFFFFFFF

When asked whether he would abolish inheritance and capital gains tax, Hunt said: “I would like to reduce lots of taxes.

“Inheritance taxes is one of the most unfair taxes. I said I would have a radical cut to corporation tax to fire up the economy.”

He added that business rates are “absolutely crippling”.
