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

Javid says he would not be here as chancellor if he had not been to a further education college.

AFECAB

I for one believe our new one nation overlords and can't wait to experience the Socialist dreamscape they're gonna fund

'People's priorities' are NHS, education and police - says Javid.

yeah those are def in my top 50

I saw PMQs.

BJ a new low - different somehow from previous Con PMs - in his complete disregard of questions. Each response was just an irrelevant spasm of his own - the entitlement and lack of seriousness very much like watching some kind of repulsive very fat child. Or, yes, Donald Trump.

Johnny Mc SICKEST BURN

What did he say?

Javid says he actually prefers Genesis's early 80s work

ABACAB

xp

roughly "i think the member for Uxbridge is shouting at me. the last time he shouted at somebody the police had to be called"

Lol fuck

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, is responding to Javid.

He welcomes Javid to his new job. But he says after that speech, he is starting to miss the old one.

He says his own father was a bus driver too. But he says that is probably all they have in common.

He says the speech was “a compendium of meaningless platitudes”.

He says Javid should take it back to the person who wrote it - Dominic Cummings.

He says Boris Johnson is shouting at him now. He tells Johnson that the last time Johnson shouted at someone, they had to call the police, he said.

Lol

nice

shades of Vardy

drag him John

marry me john mcdonnell i luv u

Can’t wait for big Johnny mc to tell the story of how he was raised on a diet of broken biscuits in response

THEYVE BEEN IN GOVERNMENT FOR NINE YEARS

Also half joking about new thread but mainly prompted by me getting the too slow message every time I post

Lol the dig about the little red book didn’t even get a giggle from his own benches

pretty sure this is what you might call a..... logistical beatdown

Not exactly convincing stuff here

But red book was a classic and funny McD burn on Gideon, there's nothing to dig at!

Genuinely in awe they found someone less charismatic than spreadsheet Phil for this gig

Looking forward to Sontar Saj being grilled on the funding of twice as many police officers as Abbott proposed two years ago oh wait

McDonnell says Boris Johnson just said “pathetic” to him.

McDonnell says he knows what develops real pathos – seeing the experience of those suffering from benefit cuts, he says.

Don't ever fuck with an autodidact.

Wow at the footage:

I actually thought Johnson was muttering at McD while sitting next to Javid but from the video he's somewhere else, further away in the commons barking out at the Cummings jibe?

Not sure he'll last the election at all.

I mean obviously he will contest but he is really totally off. Just weird.

Ofc Johnny Mc is a proud scouser so the gloves are well and truly off

HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE AT ALL

he bottled bcz he intuited it wd be horrible, he wz coaxed back as may flailed with cunning plans and no doubt billionaires offering material and political rewards, he decided -- in his infinite dog-ate-my-homework arrogance -- that he could probably wing it at least towards the workable new state that may couldn't wrangle, BUT IT'S HORRIBLE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE

in other news: the police arrested over 50 quakers yesterday who had gathered in protest outside a huge arms fair in london

Twitter suggesting that if the the FTPA motion falls this evening, Bercow could block its reintroduction in the same session.

Don’t think that’s quite right; but oh the bantz

Tan Dhesi going in

If you have ever experienced racism or discrimination, you can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by Muslim women, who were singled out by this divisive Prime Minister. It’s high time he apologised for his derogatory and racist remarks! 1/2 pic.twitter.com/t6G56coA3U

spoiler: he doesn't apologise

it's ok cos boris is a sikh

JC posted the video on Twitter, some cunts in the comments saying "but they really do look like letterboxes"

they do not look like letterboxes.

If y'all need a breather, here's a great recording of Parliament, live:

"that he could probably wing it at least towards the workable new state that may couldn't wrangle, BUT IT'S HORRIBLE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE"

I remember footage of a (word of the day) bullying performance by Johnson at the London assembly and thinking that while he may not want this, there is also an element of past mayoral success at play. Worked then so why not now. The answers are easy enough but once that bluster could get him through the worst (or some) of it...except now he is dealing with politicians of a different order and experience, under a different level of focus too.

Ouch!

nice to see Charlie Elphicke out and about 2 days before he goes to trial, what a trooper

daniel sturridge has been called to boris johnsons flat

I remember footage of a (word of the day) bullying performance by Johnson at the London assembly

Was this the time he told them to "get stuffed" like a particularly petulant bored child and then immediately apologised when called to?

Nothing in particular was said, from what I remember it was him being very dismissive of the whole thing. Like it was beneath him to be there to be asked questions by public servants.

This is just getting more and more hilarious.

The veteran Conservative MP Roger Gale said the strategy pursued by Boris Johnson and his advisor Dominic Cummings “is in danger of tearing the party apart” and said the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservatives may have to act.

“I think to have an unelected, foul-mouthed oaf at the heart of Downing Street is dangerous and unacceptable,” he told ITV news.

(... he's talking about Cummings... I think)

Any chance of more Tory MPs voting against the government tonight? After Boris' embarrassing garbage at PMQs and the Sajid Javid non-event?
