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

It isnt charities that are suffering from austerity, they sign the DWP gagging orders and tale the money with a heavy heart no doubt. But it is their clients who end up in penury or dead.

I hope the fact that Rafael Behr's piss is being boiled this morning can all cheer you up. I'd read yesterday's "We all know Corbyn is thrash but he won't go as we tell him so install him as PM" again. It's great.

I do sometimes wonder if you can actually read.

Don't wonder about me.

All the remainer heroes showing themselves:

Jo here, trying to talk tories out of working with the leader of the opposition to block no deal. Very constructive. https://t.co/WNIzgu1hab

labour’s politicking: bad
my west wing fanfic politicking: very, very good

This Ken Clarke/Harriet Harman for Emergency Prime Minister thing is one of the most absurd episodes I can remember in British politics - it is bonkers.

But it's the father and mother of the house of commons where is your respect

Nothing says grownup politics like appealing to the imaginary status of mummy and daddy of parliament

Considering what a toxic figure Harman is to much of the Labour membership to describe her (or indeed Ken) as a neutral is fucking risible shit.

even explaining the joke is demeaning

The Lib Dems should have kept their 'ah sure, we'd work with Labour - but not with X as leader' powder dry. It might have a touch more credibility if they hadn't said the exact same thing about Brown and Miliband.

theyd work with blair id say

It's the ultimate 'adults in the room', if you can't respect the people who've been there the longest then what, in the end, is your values system even worth?

dennis skinner is the father of the house of the left, just saying

theyd work with blair id say

And Boris Johnson.

It’s not reasonable to expect Corbyn to publicly concede that doubts about his leadership are sufficiently large that there is no prospect of him forming a government. That would mean Labour going into an election telling the voters that a no-deal Brexit was a calamity that had to be prevented – having publicly conceded that the argument that a Corbyn government is an equal calamity is at least sufficiently worthwhile to be conceded to in order to prevent no deal. No political leader would ever agree to an act of such colossal self-destruction.

theyd work with blair id say

Too left wing for them. Enough said?

p much

Why didnt the LibDems pretend to go along with it, then come out saying Corbyn was wanting to derail everything with some 'gulag' things, and well they did try their best?

Integrity, no doubt.

Ken Clarke: I wouldn't rule out becoming prime minister https://t.co/djjJk9jj1H

Ken Clarke: I wouldn't rule out sitting in with the John Coltrane Quartet

Ken Clarke:I wouldn't rule out being a spaceman

He hasn't announced his retirement from international football either. Just saying.

Ken Clarke: I wouldn't rule out playing for England

Probably not got the pace to play centre forward any more but he could do a job in midfield.

Fuck it Matt I was getting there

hell yes let’s replace our prime minister who none of us voted for with another one none of use voted for

fuck it, let’s all take turns

but seriously though the position of led zeppelin drummer remains infilled, maybe it’s time for clarkey to shine

a tory wet as prime minister only satisfies lib dems, about a tenth of tory voters, and every member of the london-based media

Cuddly Tories are our natural leaders

crushing the poors, yes, but gently

Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors

i wonder how bad ken clarke's opinions on jazz are. what does he think about albert ayler?

I feel like he's probably jazzlishly liberal and only economically a complete and utter cunt

Apparently he's got pretty good taste.

Free Jazz, like abstract expressionism, was a propaganda invention of the CIA

also: new wave of new grave

He used to drink a glass of Glenfarcas while delivering the budget. Pretty decent single malt iirc? But the idea that the Labour Party would support any Tory as PM...lol. Says so much about ideas of who is “neutral”.

he likes ornette or once said he did but kind of blue is on the list so he's cancelled

No Wynton Marsalis on his list so he's alright in my book.

It used to be said that the Tory eurosceptics "couldn't take yes for an answer."

The remainists have gone the same way. Corbyn has offered them everything they wanted for a 4 week administration, incl. offer of a ref if they win. If they don't want to take it then...

I suspect Ken probably likes a load of very swinging hard-bop good stuff and I heard him stanning for Ella Fitzgerald once, but I'm still going to push the Tory piece of shit into a pit.

speyside whisky and ornette, this is the PM for me

if im honest the only candidate left is alexei sayle

That novelty act who did shit rap covers on the X Factor is probably still available

Don’t recall gaz coombes having ever ruled out being prime minister but maybe I’m misforgetting??
