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

don't give the Beeb an opportunity to divert from the policies, basically

One under-reported aspect of the 2017 election was that it transformed the electoral landscape for any future election, leaving the outcome even more uncertain. In the 2015 election, just 56 seats out of 650 had a majority of less than five points; since the 2017 election, there are now 96 such seats. As a result, small swings in the popular vote can have a massive impact.

Edward Spencer-Churchill, the founder of the Blenheim Art Foundation, told the Times: "Despite being born with a silver spoon in my mouth I have never had a s**t on a golden toilet, so I look forward to it."

well, if you make the case that labour might well win a snap GE, you can then bash cronbyrm for blocking one

Bah, can't make the "The police have nothing to go on" Two Ronnies joke now.

Was just reading that interview. Another 'left-wing' landlord is it now?

Guy comes across as being a total wanker all his life, regardless of his politics tbh.

Lord save us from professional contrarians

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Love how the piece is built like some big political journey and...it's just no such thing at all. He just loves feeling like he is challenging people and being some crass version of a free thinker. While being a landlord, running a business and trying to not be too cosy with New Labour lol. Cunt.

Egotists like this always head politically rightwards, I suppose because it's the easy option if your main pleasure in life is winning arguments through the application of shithead logic.

The temptation to annoy the people in the circles he's moved in must be pretty overwhelming tbf - except he's one of them, by choice and inclination.

Harriet Sherwood looks a youngish 60 in the main photo, but the byline photo takes thirty years off her. I mean, she wouldn't get away with that in her passport.

is that a fly on my arm?

xxp Handily she's been writing for the Guardian for 20 years, so that's probably an old photo, not that it is any of our fucking business.

Reading profiles of people in 2019 is like reading a horror story where everyone has been replaced with former members of the revolutionary communist party.

this person is so inconsequential

article pitch: I know someone who is a dick

Alternately: we haven't done enough for our hate-readers this week.

this would be good and funny

Don't want to get my hopes up, but it'll be amazing if John Harris's reactionary bilge has persuaded the Tory Party to throw away southern seats to the Lib Dems in the hope of sweeping 'left behind' towns populated by large numbers of people who despise them.

Sam Gyimah defecting to the Lib Dems. They’re picking up homophobes at a rate of knots.

That actually might be slightly unfair idk

slightly unfair

Nah.

they were led by one not so long ago tbf

building themselves a nice little centre-right party. "progressives" my arse

All good if they take more votes off the Tories than off Labour.

Their first black male MP, in 2019.

liberal
/ˈlɪb(ə)r(ə)l/

noun
plural noun: liberals

a Tory without his kicking boots on

Second. Chuka was first and hasn’t exactly addressed that.

Continually wild to see all these Tories defect by citing a loss of “values” over Brexit rather than y’know years of screwing the poorest in society. https://t.co/B9Xsko7wzl

Here’s Sam Gyimah, the latest Lib Dem recruit, being heckled as MPs shout ‘shame’ because he is talking for as long as possible to ensure legislation automatically pardon living gay people convicted under now abolished sexual offences could not pass. pic.twitter.com/6pOqLL8FGV

just heard some LibDem say on 5 live "there isn't a magic money tree"

playing the hits!

well she's an ex tory turned lib-dem but the narcissism of no differences at all etc

listening to Wollaston gushing on about what a breath of fresh air it is and how positive everything is in the libdems. It's got about as much conviction as when you jump ship to a rival company and you realise it is just as bad as the one you left, but have to talk some shit to save face a bit amongst the gallery of your old work colleagues taunting you in yr mind.

Ed Davey the classic liberal, busting a gut to justify Sam's dodgy history

Yeah but never mind he's a homophobe who said HIV asylum seekers should be deported, he's pro EU ffs!

EU meantime doing their best to convince ppl that lexiters are correct by introducing a commissioner for protecting the european way of life, responsibilities to include immigration lol

Commissioner for Securing The Future of Our Race And A Future for etc

the state of cronwyn's eyes in that telegraph pic, but i suppose if you are passing on nato secrets to Iran's ministry of intelligence - your eyes get reet fucked up!
