Can see it happening tbh.

exclusive sneak preview of boris' first meeting with the eu as prime minister

Jumping in on a point from the previous thread but there's no way Labour loses Vauxhall, they've held it since 1950 at least and only had less than 50% of the vote twice. The demographic change would need to be gigantic.

Too early with the new thread title

Can we be kinder to the next prime minister than we have been to the current prime minister?

Jesus Christ, this is the slowest announcement ever.

boris is over

CUNT

If the number of people being beastly to poor Jo Swinson is any guide, I fear that we can not be kinder to the next PM.

i for one welcome our shambling blond beast prime minister

suzy otm

.@BorisJohnson got the two-thirds of votes he wanted to secure his no-deal Brexit mandate.

Recalling co-worker banter from 3 and a half years ago about the prospect of Trump and Johnson overlapping as leaders - at least it took this long.

So now we have proper party membership figures from the Leadership contests. Labour (2016) 506,438. Tory (2019) 159,320, LibDem (2019) 106,075 .

wonder when we'll see boris' triumphant photocall with his girlfriend carrie symonds, who he's definitely still together with

Time for Dominic Grieve to grow a backbone.

pity about all those UKIP/brexit-ultra entryists that joined the 20000 dead members still paying subs last year. It would have hilarious if it came out in the wash that the LibDems have more than treble their membership numbers.

intended that point more as a howl of pessimism more than any real analysis tbh, but I do imagine this demographic shift is on its way, even if not in time for the next few GEs.

ladies and gentlemen, our prime minister

He reminded his audience of ministers and party staff of his campaign mantra: “Deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn.”

Pointing out that this spelled “dud”, he joked that the final e – “energise” – had been left out. “I say to all the doubters: dude, we are going to energise the country!’”

Johnson is the baldest man ever to be famous for having hair it's so weird pic.twitter.com/ndE9Zjiwne

lol true!

the leadership announcement coming at the start of a 3 day summer heatwave feels very 'short term causes' section of your gcse history book

— earthworm jimmy eat world (@SzMarsupial) July 23, 2019

we can look forward to heatwaves lasting considerably longer than three days in the near term too, with a government as committed to allowing corporations to commit climate genocide as johnson's will be

lol we're all gonna die

boris sure spends a lot of time talking about 'defeating corbyn' despite corbyn not being in power iirc

Thank you all for the incredible honour you have done me. The time for campaigning is over and the time for work begins to unite our country and party, deliver Brexit and defeat Corbyn. I will work flat out to repay your confidence

— Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) July 23, 2019

I mean, he isn't even the current bald English-speaking world leader most famous for having hair!

If he ever loses it, he can just sew an upside-down Michael Fabricant on top of his head - what can Trump do?

Roll on IndyRef2, so I can fuck off back to Scotland and leave you cunts to it.

profiles in courage:

Tobias Ellwood, the defence minister who has been very critical of the idea of a no-deal Brexit as an acceptable outcome, is not planning to resign, and has urged colleagues to support Boris Johnson. “It’s a duty of every MP to support the prime minister right now,” he told the Press Association.

Former soldier, so yes sir, no sir, bayonet that Afghan.

If he ever loses it, he can just sew an upside-down Michael Fabricant on top of his head -

Watching ITV interviewing some Tories and jfc, just the worst shite coming out of their mouths. Manchester Tories!

Tories get even worse the further north you go.

Wasn’t the infamous QT wall of gammon in Yorkshire?

They tell it like it is up there.

Christ Peston is so fucking awful.

Good job ogmor has left the country instead of putting up with this demonisation of the North

tfw you realise you can't even grimly look forward to a planet of the apes future cuz climate change is gonna kill all the world's apes first

tbf to the colonel Kurtz of gammon he showed his prescient qualities when he said some pillock from Iran is going to nuke the UK a couple of years before the pillock was actually sorely tempted to do it (despite not actually having any nukes yet).

planet of the gapes

gammon are useful for political bbc dept who aren't interested in interviewing people from Yorkshire unless they are rabid tories from Beverley/York or completely inarticulate racist idiots who communicate in grunts. And of course strong Yorkshire accents means they represent the working class regions of the county, who they keep telling us, Labour has almost completely lost the support of since 2015.

Both Dawn Foster and Frances Young are otm about how it's completely offensive that you are supposed to treat politics like a game and not take it personally that vile detritus like Swinson have consistently supported horrible policies that have plunged people into poverty, homelessness and death. You should just dust yourself down + metaphorically shake hands with them and say well played, you won fairly by the rules, jolly good show.

Matthew Collings is all over mutuals’ FB threads and is very cranky indeed. He would be a real liability as a PPC.

Election time means new thread, right?

not until the PM changes, thread title rules all

Which Alexei was on tonight?

his sandwich shop show on R4.

Pathetic

A #generalelection2019 looks increasingly likely.

This won’t resolve the Brexit stalemate.

they should be talking about a fracking lobbyist is writing the Cons manifesto, but they are just the pocket LibDem party now.

I think this thread probably needs locking

Yes, but only until we get a proper title to the election thread

prorogue the thread ahead of time?

Not opposed to keeping this thread going for non-GE UK politics if there can be such a thing

Amber Rudd gone

We knew Amber Rudd was going already.

LAB gain, Hastings (that many DFLs have moved there over the past two years, too).

it seems quite significant that someone from the same fracking company that Jo Swinson accepted a £14 k "donation" from is writing the Cons manifesto.

> Don't worry when Corbyn is PM all comedy will be like this

that was a repeat from Nov 2017

Twas a very timely repeat, hope he's right this time
