Remainer/moaner MPs would get a lot more interest from the peasantry were they to make snarky comments about new public enemy #1 Meghan M, just saying.

JC should do that Johnson impression at PMQs, should Parliament ever sit again

He’s done that impression a few times; it’s pretty funny.

I don't think they see it through that lens. The partner of Cristian Eriksen lookalike said about Bernie/Healthcare "Yes thats all well and good but he voted for himself!!! how can I support someone like that?"

What does "he voted for himself" mean?

Oh here we go

If they build it, it will happen

What does "he voted for himself" mean?

?? Maybe something like, 'No true gentleman would be so crass as to vote for himself, so he's a bounder' ??

I would like to buy a pint for the guy on Twitter who just dubbed Dominic Cummings: QUENTIN TARANCHEMO.

to clarify, how would international law affect beheading the queen? I haven't gone full FBPE red pill but surely the ECJ would intervene (If we weren't leaving). Basically what are the legislative routes to 1649 redux? Out of interest.

also:

for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow two heads.[5]

xp lol @ this question, just asked so casually.

Killing the many heads of the hydra, liquidating the rentiers - you love to dream about it!

Confirmed: No10 has decided Philip Hammond, David Gauke, Dominic Grieve and co will have the Conservative whip withdrawn if they do not vote with the government on Tuesday https://t.co/oDlRoBfG0m

these hoax pieces do reveal more about the true essence of Swinson than the real ones.

You gotta love how the Tories are deselecting these useless people.

how many of these serial bottlers are actually going to rebel?

Blair speech: he thinks a general election is a trap because of Corbyn’s dismal numbers, which won’t turn around as they did in 2017.

Also, he seems to be aging incredibly fast, doesn’t he?

I know it's DAG but this is excellent and to say we don't get to this 'dark place' overnight:

Brexit, the Tories, and the Constitution

maybe his botox work was done by a ropy plastic surgeon recommended by one of his dictator pals

Labour are 7pts behind with the latest survation poll, that is more dismal for the tories with all the media backing them and negligible new leader bounce

... and they’ve been doing all that stuff and people have been trying to foreground it, but our fourth estate have seemed more interested in the opposition’s “stalinism”

I don't quite see how this works. Sure they can mandate the PM to ask for an extension—but they can't mandate him to get one (or even to ask in a way that makes it very likely he will).

Corbyn speaking now in big speech on news channel, for those of us WFH/having an admin day.

We knew this anyway:

EU Commission: no new developments on "concrete" new UK proposals on the backstop to report.

Tidbit from the Guardian liveblog: Apparently the Corbyn-wings favored candidate for next leader is Rebecca Long-Bailey. Anyone care to enlighten a poor Dane as to who that is?

don't get this - because that's something he has said, on camera, what? hundreds of times now?

Just grabbed Mr Corbyn at the end of the press conference and he said Labour WILL back a general election under ANY circumstances if Boris Johnson were to call one: “Of course, we are the opposition party, we want a general election” he said... sadly not on camera!

Young-ish MP with limited experience but strong working-class / union roots. She has supported Corbyn from the start and is generally seen as a good / relatable communicator.

She seems good but it's a reflection of the fact that there's almost nobody else that they'd be looking to throw an MP with a couple of years in Parliament in at the deep end, if required.

There is an old guard with 'baggage', there are new MPs with less baggage (or baggage the press has yet to invent) but there's not a lot in the middle.

Who is preferred here? a) Long-Bailey, b) Laura Pidcock, c) someone else?

is that a list of who you fancy most?

A lot of the 2015 intakes already have/had shadow cabinet experience, ie Starmer, Butler, Lewis, Hussain, Huq, Debbonaire, etc. A lot of the same intake haven’t been brought in for fairly obvious reasons (Coyle, Phillips, Streeting). Beyond that you have the 2010 intake for anyone younger.

so transparent

She's left wing Fred but take consolation in the fact that she's young and might be more of an imperialist so she could still nuke Russia.

Speculation is mounting that Boris Johnson could call a snap general election if backbench rebels succeed in passing a bill to delay Brexit, with a Downing Street source saying the issue would be treated as “an expression of confidence” in the government.

Johnson’s cabinet ministers are being summoned for an emergency cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon, before the prime minister is to address Conservative MPs at a No 10 drinks reception.

"But you don't understand - Snap Election is the name of my (rescue) dog!"
