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

Pidcock and RLB are very well educated but went to an ex-poly, so none of it counts.

I am not impugning anyone's left credentials (and may well lose my money), just establishing Carsmile's :)

I dont think attacking on accent is necessarily going to work next time out, I'm not even sure they'll try it. It doesn't easily fit the likely 'Northern Strategy', at least without being careful how they do it.

jel went on to become david cameron iirc

I will always hate Leo but I do admire his ability to put a good face on while meeting someone who was racist about him.

i did have a little despite-my-better-judgement lol at Jess Phillips when she called somebody "bab" during her Cicero of Solihull speech the other day, it made me all nostalgic for a minute

Johnson has been messing his hair up while speaking on live TV forever but at this point seems as much if not more driven by insecurity as it is playing to the base.

the lrb piece by imo bad literary critic and etonian james woods says the johnson had already realised the hair-mussing worked a charm back at school

And he was humbled by a brilliant question pointing out that, while he is happy to use “dead in a ditch” as a metaphor, Brexit undermines arrangements that have preserved the peace in an country where until recently hundreds of people did end up dead in ditches.

Q: When you talk about people being dead in ditches, there is a sense that you don’t really understand what is at stake here. When did you last visit the border? Do you still think it is like the border between Camden and Islington?

Johnson says he thinks everyone here understands the importance of the border.

The UK will never impose checks at the border, he says. There must be an open border, so goods and people can circulate in the normal way.

He says he genuinely thinks that solutions can be found.

God people are easily impressed. Then again Hugh grant is apparently the leader of the resistance and he’s famous for that shit too xp

By the Irish if they can be made to do it. xp

He’s now mussing it up to distract from rapidly-escalating make pattern baldness. The hair is such a huge part of BJ’s brand that it’ll have Samson-like repercussions for him when it’s lost over the next few years.

I am all for baldshaming boris and I say this as an unashamedly out and proud balding old git.

Kevin from Irish Independent to BJ: When you talk about people being dead in ditches I don't think you understand what's been happening here.

Nice to see Doyler has found a new career after football

GDP growth is up !!!! from -0.2% to 0%!!!!!! the economy is good again, awouuuuuuuu !!!

neil woodford is good again

as has been noted elsewhere, I believe the north of england has been in recession for years, probably most regions outside the south east too

And whether there is a change in govt or not there will be no end in sight.

A response to poll no's.:

Exc: No10 has seen polling that means if there was an election now, Boris Johnson would do worse than Theresa May, according to Jason Stein, who was a Tory special advisor and Amber Rudd aide until Saturday night

Here’s what he told me for a Sky News interview: pic.twitter.com/bDszzB2Ky7

Boris in flat cap in 3..2..

Parliament's off from this evening btw

And that's before a campaign period they are very likely to lose

dezinformatsiya

Varadkar to Johnson:

“Securing the ratification in less than there years is going to be a Herculean task for you.

But we do want to be your friend, your ally, your Athena”

Even the fucker laughed at that

Is it a joke?

owl of prorogation takes flight at dusk dudes

I haven’t actually watched any of this shite yet but supposedly explains the ref

Quite a loaded “Athena to your Hercules” jab from Irish PM. She helped Hercules when he went mad by knocking him unconscious, preventing him from killing more people than he already had (including his children). https://t.co/mIqeGTATcv

Ty for your support during this difficult time

Can the shutdown (enough of this obscure p-word) tonight obstruct the NoNoDeal bill's Royal Assent?

no

cool

The daily mail is trying to smear Corbyn & McDonnell by posting about them being at the wedding of one of the Guildford four, love too be Irish in Britain.

ah yes, the famously guilty guildford four, however will crobryn and mcd recover from this shattering revelation

i fuckin love it when people draw attention to the many times when corbyn’s been on the right side of history and i didn’t know about this one, thx 2 the mail

I’m watching Education questions and I forgot Gavin Williamson was the SoS for Education, oh no.

Has he remembered?

His face when he said it tho:

1. "I say! This Caribbean chap's read a book!"

2. Then the meaning of the reference sinks in.

3. It really sinks in... pic.twitter.com/Cxku3SlCkI

... you mean about his hideous yellow teeth?

I think he will resign

that’s my informed guess

Niche but excited speculation...IF Bercow said he was physically going to stay in his seat and not budge, then Parliament wouldn't be suspended tonight

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) September 9, 2019

normal country posting as it usually does

Wait so is the idea here that the fate of the UK depends on how long Bercow can hold his poo

Pissing himself to own the Tories?

so from what the cabinet secretary was saying this morning it looks like if johnson gets vonced he just won't recommend an alternative PM to the queen and parliament will remain in limbo until someone caves we crash out. a default brexit with no one in charge seems about right

DEFECATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
