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

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?

hundreds n thousands straight from the jar

which was basically the budget proposal afaict

To recap correctly(?) Johnson said he didn't want an election but has spent most of today buck-buckawing at Corbyn and calling him a big girl's blouse for resisting the offer of a GE without ruling out No Deal.

Is there no Baby Boris Balloon already? I guess he'd love it tho.

Dominic’s cumming, the prime minister is going

And Parliament really is Sovereign

The court of session in Edinburgh has rejected an attempt to prevent Boris Johnson’s prorogation of the House of Commons.

Lord Doherty, the judge who heard the case, said the decision could not be measured against legal standards as it was matter of high policy and political judgment, and was therefore for politicians to settle.

lazy fucker

ahem. Cuminic Dommings

does BJ have the numbers (simple majority) for an election ?

I have the NOES at 307 (LAB 247; SNP 35; LD 15; CTIGUK 5; PC 4; GRN 1)

Needs 2/3rds majority for an election

"More than 100,000 people have applied to register to vote in the past 48 hours, with young people making up the bulk of the surge."

and most of them are in the 25-34 age group according to gov.uk figures and as someone said many of them might be students who reportedly like to commit electoral fraud for the lols by voting twice

needs 2/3rds majority for an election under FTPA - can he not bolt something on to a piece of legislation which says 'notwithstanding the provisions of the FTPA, we will have an election on 15/10'

still don't think he has the numbers

let’s hope so xp

braver than the troops imo

Apparently he said it was "absolutely clear" that the UK would get a new deal from Brussels, with the backstop removed.

Boris Johnson forgot about his government’s spending round and tried to leave the chamber at the end of PMQs. Matt Hancock pointed it out and told him to go back

I’ve seen the register to vote link doing the rounds among young labourites, they’re definitely getting the word out

Am on a bus in Berlin listening to Germans say “Boris Johnson” and chuckling
