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

it's awkward for the media because without brexit they have to start reporting on policies and that is where Labour have so many positives and put the Tories blatant short termist election bribes into sharp contrast

plus Brexit is just more fun for the media because it's so outwardly, viciously divisive

i'm sure we could have had some good fun with "abolish private education" tho

booming NV post earlier but when you put him in front of a bbc grilling he just doesnt have that passion for me clive

Great post but could he do it on a wet Thursday in Boston?

let's be honest the BBC don't want to see ill-kempt lunatics mumbling about nuance, they want

oh you heard them talking to some pliable numpts in a northern marginal this morning? Lol someone says he's not voting for Corbyn because he's a communist, not voting for boris because "I'm not rich enough" - he's voting for the brexit party. I think this was recorded outside a foodbank as well - the bbc back to their bullshit.

Re Mainstream:

About us
Mainstream is a new campaign – led by a group of people from different political backgrounds – designed to encourage a return to respectable and responsible politics, and to banish extremism from British politics once and for all.

Britain has long had a strong democracy where mainstream politics was the norm. Disagreement was always possible, but within the realms of respectful and responsible debate. It felt as if we shared the same mainstream patriotic outlook, even if we disagreed with each other on the best way to achieve a better society and a more prosperous economy.

Sadly, in many cases mainstream ideas have been replaced by views that are wildly out of step with the views of the general public. Extremism is rearing its way back into the public discourse in a way that would have been unfathomable just a few years ago.

Mainstream will promote respectable and responsible politics wherever we can, and oppose extremism – wherever it comes from. We encourage everyone who wants to support our country’s mainstream values in political and public life to join us.

"respectable and responsible politics"

how do you keep a straight face?

Framing of this post on their site is...odd

mainstream patriotic

why is the p word never far away with these cunts?

The BBC are having a week in Stoke trying to get in touch with Ordinary People and their Stories, with some kind of ‘pod’ where the Ordinary People can talk about themselves. It is SO CRINGE, especially the presenter who claims to be from the area but is a customer service chatbot in human form.

Anyhow, over at Labour conference it seems the immigration/FoM resolution has disappeared off today’s agenda and people are rightly very fucked off.

Genuinely thrilled that someone’s big political idea in 2019 is linking up with Eric Pickles and going to bat for the idea that Republicanism is a dangerous step towards the abyss.

Would be very interested to see where the money is coming from for this.

also if they're fighting extremism wherever they find it why is every item on their news page about Labour? i mean for fuck's sake if you haven't even got the brains to put on a fig leaf

Anyhow, over at Labour conference it seems the immigration/FoM resolution has disappeared off today’s agenda and people are rightly very fucked off.

You've got to be kidding me.

to go back to ed's post -

If workers have the ability to sell their skills to the highest bidder (even if only some take up the opportunity) it raises pay and condition.

this freedom exists and has not raised pay and conditions

"Party supporters want Corbyn to go"

"Labour members want to sack the Queen, scrap Trident, and launch general strike – poll"

It's a good thing Corbyn is there as a cap on this needless mouth-watering extremism, hey?

xxp agree if this is the case, fucking disgraceful, don’t care if it’s union driven

'Supreme court has decided unanimously that prorogation is justiciable'.

I assume that's the first step?

Get in!

Booooom

Ok I read “justiciable” and not having gone to fancy lawyer school thought “that’s that” and closed the app in a gloom (between this & conference bullshit upthread). But wow, what a mess! You truly do love to see it.

lol owned

so is boris just gonna prorogue again now?

Supreme Court smacks down government unanimously.

"quite exceptional circumstances" of leaving EU on 31 October.

Parliament "has a right to a voice on how that change comes about"

"No justification with taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court"

Supreme court rules Boris Johnson's prorogation was 'unlawful' :D

I'm a couple of minutes behind, this is like reading goal spoilers on a football thread!

i genuinely did not expect that outcome.

that's a big-ass spider brooch

That was quite the highlight.

11-0 :)

Beautiful

john bercow set to go out with a bang then

waddup

I look forward to hearing all about how the elitist, anti-democratic Supreme Court is in fact beholden to Brussels.

oh you will be hearing about that

'unlawful, void and of no effect' for new thread title

right up there with morrissey being branded 'devious, truculent and unreliable' by the judge in the dispute between him and the rest of the smiths

Boris' record as PM takes some beating tbh.

In 1975, Plaid Cymru campaigned against the EC, arguing that an overreliance on EU aid simply confirmed Wales’ position as a dependent periphery, and that regional aid policies were simply designed to reconcile places like Wales to their subordinate position and to open up Wales to foreign capital.

In 2016, many nationalists interpreted the leave vote as representing an existential threat to Wales itself, similar to the trauma of the failed 1979 referendum vote. In response, Plaid have now transformed into an ultra remainer party, even calling for article 50 to be revoked. Indeed, their old socialist leader, Leanne Wood, was deposed last year, allegedly for her principled stance that Plaid Cymru in Westminster should not collaborate with pro remain Tories.

Plaid’s strategy is somewhat bizarre given that poll after poll suggests that significant numbers of Plaid Cymru voters voted to leave. Plaid’s cognitive dissonance over the EU’s silence in the face of Spanish repression of their Catalan allies is a sight to behold, and they similarly stubbornly refuse to engage with those who point to the treatment of the peripheral states by the EU- clear evidence that the same fate would undoubtedly await an independent Wales within the EU.

So Parliament has not been prorogued.

Boris' record as PM takes some beating tbh.

it's Boris Johnson's two month anniversary as prime minister today and in that time he's lost six parliamentary votes in six days, reduced his majority from 1 to minus 43, and has now had the highest court in the land declare his tantrum illegal. what an inspiration
