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

tbfttl hes a northern irish moderate nationalist, career civil servant who resigned as a result of downing st strategy of ignoring the border early on in WA negotiations

interesting perspective

isn't there an easy one click link for this? If someone posted some Novara Media bollox to the football thread and said: it is strictly subscription is this but someone mentions [some fucking spurs player] in it - the responding poster wouldn't be breaking any site rules by telling thee to get fucked!

im am calmly shilling for second captains as i always do!

:D

might be available, reading the blurb- some shows are and some arent so have a go

it's asking for £5. I'm already 400 overdrawn and could get a sack of basmati rice for that or a block to sharpen my axe.

we tried man. we tried.

this sounds interesting but I'm not spending my £5 on football-related content just so I can reach the non-football parts so oh well

in other news, hmm, this sounds dodgy/ominous to my admittedly untrained ear:

Just realised that the 'Alternative Arrangements Commission' isn't a UK government thing at all. It's set up by Prosperity UK, an ostensibly independent organisation....that was set up by Brexit backer Paul Marshall. You'll have had your democracy

don't worry, it's co-chaired by that nice moderate remainer Nicky Morgan who said she'd refuse to serve in a Boris govt...

listening to bbc ws earlier and noted the Five Star Movement in Italy has moved from being referred to as an "anti-establishment party" to a "left-wing party" on their hallowed airwaves. Both bullshit speak.

What is this strategy of making it known that the government is actively pursuing outright authoritarian measures and that Doomsday is around the corner?

playing a blinder is what it's called. 100+ seat majority in the November election even with one or none seats in Scotland.

A government source did not deny that legal advice had been sought. They added: “As a matter of routine, No 10 officials ask for legal and policy advice every day.”

just calmly enquiring about legal means of suppressing parliamentary democracy as we normally do!

"where's dino?" *looks around wildly* "hey WHERE'S DINO??"

the lieutenant takes a step forward in his immaculate white jacket: "dino had to make, eh-" he casts a smirk at his henchmen- "alternative arrangements." soft laughter ripples around the room

I see we are still in August

You nearly have to respect this calibre of trolling

what if diamond and silk but dead-eyed thatcherkids

The transportation of goats across the border?

I thought she was so posh she couldn't pronounce 'goods' like a normal person but, having played it again, I'm pretty sure it is goats.

she can't pronounce Ireland is a major problem here

Can't bring herself to.

She says "us ... the people have been betrayed" in that fucken accent.

She's fighting the elites, standing up for the little man, like you, me and, er, her.

What an innings by Ben Stokes to keep the #Ashes alive for England.

And that must go down as the best 1* ever from Jack Leach.

Yet another reason that Test cricket should be free to watch on TV.

‘should be free to watch on tv’ is a weird way to spell ‘banned’

LOL riding home from Carnival where people in Corbyn masks and JELLY ME CORBYN signs were throwing out jello shots to the crowd.

(xp) Disgusting savages the pair o' ye.

sport is counter-revolutionary

ban sport

Lol:

This anecdote is a prime example of how Boris Johnson stands out compared to other politicians. Brexit and the backstop are incredibly dry topics, but he uses the image of the prime minister swimming in the sea at 7am, a big rock and beach to cut through: https://t.co/HV3tyfUzXZ

Sebby is queuing up to have his wallet inspected along with Peston.

I can confirm that it is very difficult to smuggle a pork pie into the USA. I once had on of Mrs Kings finest confiscated by a CBP officer.

"It’s a perishable, short lifespan product”

relatable

Did you all actually die, then? Longest this thread has gone quiet.

bank holiday monday, and apart from “political” “journalists” fawning at the court of johnson little happening.

normal service continues with this bizarre front page article in the guardian: Jeremy Corbyn could support pre-Brexit election to stop no deal

i mean, yes? and

Cracks have increasingly appeared among those MPs committed to preventing a no-deal Brexit.

is a v generous interpretation of a fact we have known for very many months - parliamentary “anti-brexit” MP numbers don’t stack up, with Tories mainly breaking Tory, despite being styled “rebels” by press, and Lib Dems unwilling to work with Labour.

yep + it's silly season and the sun is shining and cheap booze and food are still readily available.. but even the most cheerful expert prognosticators are still predicting we're all going to die.

as Nicky Morgan once said (before she said she'd never work in a Boris cabinet) “One person’s rebel is another person’s freedom fighter” lool stfu!

The leaders of the opposition parties held a productive and detailed meeting on stopping a disastrous No Deal exit from the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn outlined the legal advice he has received from Shadow Attorney General Shami Chakrabarti which calls Boris Johnson’s plans to suspend parliament to force through a No Deal “the gravest abuse of power and attack upon UK Constitutional principle in living memory”.

The attendees agreed that Boris Johnson has shown himself open to using anti-democratic means to force through no deal.

The attendees agreed on the urgency to act together to find practical ways to prevent No Deal, including the possibility of passing legislation and a vote of no confidence.

The party leaders agreed to further meetings.

Killer cliffhanger there

Fingers crossed…

"The attendees agreed on the urgency to act together to find practical ways to prevent No Deal, including the possibility of passing legislation and a vote of no confidence."

Ha, never seen that. Frakes face is perfect in every instance.

don't worry Swinson has come up with a devastating triple lock against NDB. Her last ditch defence is simply revoke A50 - a cunning plan!

I heard jo is planning to naruto-run through the corridors of no 10 and press the big red ‘revoke article 50’ button on boris’ desk before anyone can catch her

its a trench run scenario if i ever heard one tbh

The guy literally shilled for dictators who locked up, beat and killed journalists and activists. But yes, such fun at parties. https://t.co/f75g1XkECQ

Boom

Peston is a fucking moron, how someone of Jewish heritage could stan for someone who literally would have bent over backwards to represent Hitler's talking brain in a fishtank is beyond me.

lol

that was an unfortunately timed lol for the tweet and NV’s response.
