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

Time to check in on what Matthew Goodwin, author of the forthcoming National Populism: The Assault Against Liberal Democracy, is tweeting:

There is absolutely no way that centre-right liberals are not going to line up behind Johnson, however Atlas Shrugged he goes.

How can there be Islamophobia in the Tory party with a cabinet like this?!

You mean that guy they forgot to invite to meet Trump?

lol! Priti is such a poisonous piece of garbage, can't Macron have her please

On one hand, another big step in the rise of fascism. On the other, this reshuffle means that Bravo Two Zero will be on the GSCE curriculum.

Once you've met some deranged pub bore whose eyes travel in multiple directions and they have a well thumbed copy of Bravo Two Zero with the pages stuck together - that's when you call Prevent. Not make them a fucking minister.

Feel like we should run a sweepstakes on the first one to be sacked.

If I was Corbyn I'd be calling him out on his dare-or-die bullshit and ask him to call an election. The line should be 'what are you afraid of?' from now on.

thanks boris, very cool!

Well, the new Housing Minister is a guy named Robert Jenrick. The multi-millionaire owns 3 houses, and just to show his common touch, he once said he doesn’t “need to have a disabled daughter” to know what it’s like to be hard up.

Absolute tosser.

Had to add a children’s table

Jesus, Prime Minister Johnson in the Commons, with his shitty jokey blustering and playing to the revolting scum on his backbenches, kill me now.

you'll want judge death for that

Labour’s Anneliese Dodds asks why Johnson said so little about the climate emergency if he really cares about it.

Johnson says the Conservatives are the only party that believes private sector-driven new technology can provide a solution to the problem.

lol we're all gonna die

Good thread on how things might play out in the next few months:

So what just happened with @BorisJohnson #Brexit statement?

My take as follows....

tldr; we are heading for a general election. Here's why...

Yes I think that is quite intuitive and is probably what will happen.

what's the answer to private sector-driven new technology which has condemned the entire planet to, at best, a quick death by drowning? yes, it's definitely more private sector-driven new technology

ffs judge death just take us all now

Cool that climate change and the backstop both have exactly the same solution.

Look, this solution the private sector has whipped up will drown everyone 2.5 times quicker than they might otherwise have.

luv2make science fiction the cornerstone of my politics

old lunch this seems as good a time as any to remind you to please read judge dredd before the methane which will be released from under the ice sheets in the coming months kills us all

Thank u, yes, nothing like the impending extinction of the species to spur a reassessment of one's priorities.

Lol wait until they shit a load of money up the wall getting Elon Musk in as the private sector brane genius

musk and tom watson should team up to hunt paedos

high tech paedo hunters and luxury communist asteroid mining ..I want to die ..lol

tbf a nice tube-shaped coffin jammed far down a water-filled mine will be a nice way to escape from the heat as the world burns

A question: May never got VONCed despite having both remainers and hard brexit headbangers lined up against her. Boris will have the former but not the latter - so why is a VONC against him in the least likely to get through? Or are these scenarios regarding elections all projecting into when those will naturally be held?

Several Tories have said they will VONC Boris, that never happened with May. They'll bottle it, of course.

A VONC won't get through yet because Johnson hasn't really set out what he plans to do, so would-be Tory rebels won't vote against him just yet. They need to be absolutely certain he's serious in going for the No Deal option before they do anything. And even then they might bottle it.

It's also not certain that there won't be abstentions in other parts of the Commons, like the Independents, or that eg Kate Hoey won't vote with the government. The margins are very narrow.

bj's already peeled off ian austin

never heard it called that before

it's what you do with scabs

lol! why would he another Israeli envoy when Priti is already in the cabinet .

getting nicely comfy over here in anticipation of johnson cabinets reaction to the EUs only response to this being a very obvious relief that you're not going to be bothering us like may was every few weeks

also im from an island we all have boats and will be very happy when the sea rises

That’s the plan though, isn’t it? Needs an election, needs to blame it on both the EU and parliament.

And needs to keep not defining Brexit all the while. Negotiations would be counterproductive

yeah - thread above on the perceived strategy seems otm. he has to be hoping that enough of the BXP vote returns to the fold, while... not leaking too many cameroonian liberals AND while LAB leak remain ultras to LDs? iunno - just hope mr seumas milne has a strategy calibrated to win the upcoming GE

His thinking will be he can't possibly be worse at campaigning than May was in 2017 and he's probably right to believe that. Where he's wrong is in the belief it will automatically propel him to victory. The factors that buoyed the Labour vote haven't gone away.

The campaign is going to be a hundred times nastier by the way - he is going to lie through his teeth and calling him out for it isn't necessarily going to cut through. The press will be much more vicious now that they perceive Corbyn as a realistic threat to their man in Number 10.
