PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

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 -

the special relationship, we love it don't we folks? we love it

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.

rip ian curtis

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

They tell it like it is up there.

Christ Peston is so fucking awful.

“One of the worst ideas in this country is the idea that people who voted Leave will be betrayed...”

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.

FBPE-ers be dreamin':

If one, just one Tory MP crosses the house today, Boris will not become PM tomorrow...

if one, just one tory sprouts rotors today, they'll be a helicopter tomorrow

he is your pm - deal with it ya melt. hashtag.

This is great too:

We have the first BAME and mixed-race Prime Minister: a mixture of English Christians, Turkish Muslims and Eastern European Jews.

— Alexander Brindle (@Brindle_Alex) July 23, 2019

absolutely nuclear take, incredible

We must make up a prize for some of these tweets

lol IDS getting down to ancestry.com as we type.

And what about Disraeli? Anti-semitism, or what?

tbfttl:

Second! Disraeli was Sephardic Jewish. They are both mixed race too.

Trump just said Johnson is going to be 'great'. Good job, Tories! Emancipation is nigh.

president xi, fire when ready etc

Nice display name there from the tweet linked - it’s funny how racism is ok when you’re mocking a racist?

Lol@ Brindle tweet, if that were true he wouldn’t have got the vote.

Lol@ Brindle tweet, if that were true he wouldn’t have got the vote.

it reminds me of that young labour twonk who was white but wanted to be a bame representative on the strength that his mother once had a black bf.

i think young brindle was attempting an irony that got out from under him there but WHO KNOWS EH

check his replies to that tweet - if he's doing an irony, he's remarkably committed to the bit

also he rest of his timeline is cancer

the irony at issue isn't any more ambitious or insightful than "isn't it ironic that boris (= a tory) is our first BAME PM -- oh wait actually i mean second (first also a tory)"

I am using irony to make a joke which is intended to get people to think about these concepts in the context of modern Britain, with all its diversity and multiculturalism. Apologies to any offended, I understand I could be misinterpreted.

— Alexander Brindle (@Brindle_Alex) July 23, 2019

the rest of his timeline is still cancer tho

How is BAME pronounced btw? Seems like a UK-specific concept.

i think the options are spelling out the letters or rhyming it with DAME, if other options exist i am happy to adopt them in order to puzzle people

it's pronounced 'hen fap' iirc

Tempted by BAH-MEH (instinctively, because that’s what it would sound like in Romanian).

The BAH-ME PM

Lol he has done a whole thread about it now

But having a person who is a melting pot of backgrounds in a high profile position will probably inspire some young mixed people to be ambitious, and that is a good thing. We should celebrate diversity.

— Alexander Brindle (@Brindle_Alex) July 23, 2019

That's my personal highlight

🗣HEY ALEXANDER, DO THE MIXED PEOPLE HAVE TO LOOK AS WHITE AS BORIS?

His brain has clearly melted in the hellish heat of a Boris bus or he’s high off the fumes of melting plastic everywhere

Oh I see, I haven’t seen the social experiment excuse in ages.

Yeah they are really going for it. I was just trying to use irony to make people laugh and think about the concept of ethnicity, and mixed heritage in today's Britain. People infer what they want to infer.

in further news abt his brain (acc.his twitter bio): ppe student, fabian, boxing blues captain

godspeed you! bame prime minister

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
