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

none of the people involved in this are covering themselves in glory

which doesn't make it not looooool

Oh before anyone jumps on me for highlighting his drink and drug addictions - I have tried many many many times to get him to seek help. I personally rang multiple rehabs enquiring for him.

This is shitheadedness of a high order

gareth seems like an absolute twat

yeah. total wank

glad he's very publicly shown himself to be bad at his job

^^^^^

o'mara a total weapon as well so schaudenfraude all round

tbh I'd be tempted to down a load of vodka before going on Look North and then call them out for their Leeds Utd bias.

Is Gration still in charge? We get our own version

I think so yeah, not watched it in a while though.

oh god oh fuck boris committed seppuku

I mean metaphorically and politically he already has he just doesn't seem to have realised it yet.

we did say that last time... and, unlike a lot of other people who failed this calculation, he does seem to have some to at least have some grasp of the forces currently at play.

Here's a snap of "Jared O'Mara's comms team" dude Gareth Arnold with Britain First founders Paul Golding and Jim Dowson. Because it's all a laugh, this far-right street movement stuff, innit! https://t.co/Ls59QRvK38 pic.twitter.com/h935Bu12yY

the whistleblower here, what a class they are themselves.

PMs change and guess who's back: it's teh Scrute!

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/jul/23/roger-scruton-gets-job-back-after-regrettable-sacking

as much as the dissolution of the United Kingdom and the destruction of the Conservative party as an electoral force for a generation is quite an exciting prospect. The return of Scrote and prospect of Priti fucking Patel as home sec is very depressing. Mind you, perhaps we should be grateful she isn't pro death penalty these days.

not even in office yet and he’s getting stared down by jeremy hunt - refusing to move posts again

Bojo can push him out, right? It's not like he'd care about ~party unity~

Not surprising but still funny to see all the Robinson fanboys going "Well actually I don't mind that money I've given him for political campaigning has been spent to feed Tommy and his friends' drug habits". Fuck me, you lot are being grifted hard but you won't admit it! 🤣🤣🤣

ha ha some ex Tommy Robinson photographer said all the donations they were receiving was being spent on coke, then she deleted her account.

how much of the im led by donky money is going up james, will, and oliver’s noses

Still can't make it through that NYRB piece. Despise that discussion of the akratic. It's just the thing a literary critic would be intrigued by, as opposed to the cold fact the Boris' position got the novel to be published in the first place despite its merits. Maybe that and his Churchill biog are clues to what is going on inside this tall, blank blonde person with a posh accent. Fuck off.

HUGE BRAIN

One big appointment coming today - Dominic Cummings expected to be senior advisor to the new PM - Vote Leave chief moving into govt - huge brain and experienced in govt, and will be applauded by Brexiteers - highly controversial too

they're still out there doing their thing so... not enough?

huge brain got me cumming(s)

Married to The Spectator's deputy editor whose Dad has a castle. Sticking it to the elites as ever.

That’s the woman I’m told BJ stalked before she married DC. Ewwwwwwwwww.

lmao, swear these fuckers are on some 'I, Claudius' trip

this is good, normal stuff

Education in England is no better than mediocre, and billions of pounds have been wasted on pointless university courses and Sure Start schemes for young children, Michael Gove’s special adviser has said in an outspoken private thesis written a few weeks before he is due to step down from his post.

Dominic Cummings, the most influential adviser to the education secretary in the past five years, also argues in a revealing 250-page paper that “real talent” is rare among the nation’s teachers – and, eye-catchingly, says educationists need to better understand the impact of genetics on children.

(reported in the graun in 2013)

Time to re-up that or send it to a commentator who might be grateful to be reminded?

sometimes you're right for all the wrong reasons

it was on the graun's liveblog earlier this morning, suzy, which is where i nicked it from

yikes

I have been asked to share this from a previous, deleted account, under one of Arnold's aliases. An appalling tweet from anyone, let alone a supposed staffer to a left-wing MP. The reaction to it is still in evidence through the receipts below.https://t.co/q844lftbKy pic.twitter.com/xR8ifUWz0y

BREAKING: electoral law. The fastest & surest route to power. Cummings masterminded the massive Vote Leave electoral fraud. Johnson headed the campaign & has *never* answered qs about his involvement. Cummings kept his silence. And is now rewarded with top job. Truly, I despair.

Munira Mirza as head of the Number 10 Policy Unit - the Spiked/Institute of Ideas/Living Marxism creep continues...

Munira Mirza appointed head of policy unit. lol we are all doomed.

*Watches as some of you agree with this*

.@theresa_may last ever remarks to @jeremycorbyn at #PMQs. "He and I are very different people...What we have in common is our commitment to our constituencies. As a party leader who has accepted when her time is up, perhaps the time has come for him to do the same". Wow

— Robert Peston (@Peston) July 24, 2019

Watch half the media start clapping like seals as Johnson appoints a string of high-profile Asian Tories, thus enabling everyone to feel good about their progressive credentials as we end up with the most right-wing government since the war.

that would be Civil War yes?

May there indicating she'd like to see Labour doing better in the polls.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bigZ1fmwD-Q/hqdefault.jpg

that Johnson reshuffle in full

xp if the appointees are rightest-wing Hindu background that will get seal-claps from media centrists and Modi alike (a nationalist problem child the media centrists don’t pay any attention to).

Even James Ball is taken aback by Patel's readmission to the Cabinet so maybe there is hope for the centrists yet.

But May’s final jibe about how it was time for Corbyn to consider standing down too was an effective riposte, principally because it chimed with what many Labour MPs think.

^ from Andrew Sparrow who should resign

From The Guardian:

"May then left the chamber to a standing ovation from Conservative MPs and a few others such as the DUP. "

🤔

Some Labour MPs applauded too. GET 'EM.
