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

Let’s pause to remember Brendan Cox has a few boundaries issues with women, too. In future we should probably seek comment from Jo’s sister, who stepped up to run the Jo Cox Foundation when he had to stand down.

Your demands have been met!

Cox's sister: A 'turning point'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-49837185

Kim keeps saying if there were more moderates in politics the world would be a better place, which is complete bollox imo

Just a couple of months before the referendum, Cameron was accusing Sadiq Khan of having shared a platform with an IS supporter so he knows a thing or two about inflammatory rhetoric.

So does Jess Phillips, of course.

Jess Phillips being called out on that remains one of my favourite political interviews of the last couple of years.

let us not forget that jo cox was also a legitimate-concernserist

I never do because where I live there are more quotes from her fucking speech on walls and signposts than there are from Jesus and Mohammed combined!

which interview, Matt?

A lot of pretend-shock about last night, allowing for a lot of scum to take the high ground.

And I really hate people saying and tweeting 'you are better than this' to people who are just utter garbage.

one thing grates with me with all that "more in common" flam is: how do tell some poor kid from Batley Carr who has one pair of shoes, no winter coat and whose mother has to queue at foodbanks that they much in common with the rest of the population. It's like gaslighting them and saying they don't live in abject poverty because everyone is middle class now...STFU!

I saw Angela Rayner tweeting 'you're better than this' to Piers Cnutgan and really Ange m8 no he is not. xps

Yvette Cooper was doing it to Julia Hartley-Brewer.

lol

@britainelects
Motion on a three-day Parliament recess so as to allow Conservative MPs to go to their Manchester conference:

Ayes: 289
Noes: 306

Rejected.

xp lollllll

And yesterday on Newsnight you had Layla Moran saying it to Bernard Jenkin. Appealling to stuff that isn't there xps

Is this seriously something that matters considering the circumstances of her murder?

Anyone saying this?

the fantasy misrepresentation of Jo's legacy should not be considered sacrosanct. And the platitudinous drivel that pols talk is just that, it doesn't develop some special quality because they have been murdered.

Tell you what guys, there’s no need to split hairs over a female MP who was murdered in the street by a fucking Neo-Nazi as though any of her not-so-great political opinions mattered in that context.

MP tells me that Johnson had an
‘angry meltdown’ in voting lobbies. Am told that @jessphillips personally challenged him as did others . MP tells me PM saw a group watching through the doors & then started jabbing his finger towards us all

gyac v otm

re murdered centrist melt Jo Cox I meant but in general lol

I just get sick of seeing them fucking quotes everywhere and being implored "To Love Life Like Jo Did". I fucking hate my life, get fucked you melts!

good to see boris prime ministering as he usually does

LOL Boris' still on the longest losing streak in Prime Ministerial history.

finally, a strong and stable pm

lol @ Ian Austin voting for Tory conference

Love how smug Corbyn’s photo looks when you scroll down the list of yes votes

rory stewart has no headshot lol

i'm sure rory got into the habit of dodging headshots while he was walking across afghanistan

Heightened drug powers made him invulnerable

levitating across the steppe, making grand pronouncements in flawless dari as heavy tracer fire flickers around him

*riff to 'Iron Man' kicks in*

my fave ever funeral was for a ne'er do well pisshead uncle of mine. He had been abused by catholic priests in an industrial school in Dublin so although he didn't have a will it was clear that were priests were a definite no. So he had a humanist service where people just told the truth about his legacy and that was that he was basically likeable but a selfish twat and lousy parent and appalling husband to his two ex-wives, a self-centred egotistic pisshead! Telling the truth about him was a very cleansing experience and not disrespectful at all. The point is call it splitting hairs if you want but I'm not going to do any different for local pols - this is my last word on the subject and I'll stfu now!

You're not wrong also thanks for outlining my eulogy

fuckin hell, we might as well retitle the pvmic thread the calzino anecdote thread

xp aye

Yvette Cooper’s daughter writes about it & honestly felt horrible for her

I rarely actually tweet, especially about politics - am more of the silent retweeter - but after the chilling scenes in Parliament last night I just don’t think I can stay quiet anymore. There’s a group of young people and children that need to be spoken for. (A thread.)

— Ellie Cooper (@ellieelizaa) September 26, 2019

there is much that could be said about that twitter thread but considering the circumstances of jo cox's murder I will refrain

Hooooooooboy

Goodness.@RachelSJohnson wonders, on #wato, whether this incendiary stuff coming from her brother could be:

1) from Cummings;

2) from her brother himself; or

➡3) from "people who have invested billions in shorting the £... in the expectation of a #NoDealBrexit".⬅

There is also a big clear and present threat to Owen Jones, and will be to other leftist activists as well as MPs.

As has been said before: during an election, someone else on the left could well get killed.

It is very very dangerous now.

Corbyn was attacked too.

yikes at that rachel johnson clip

xyz: I know!

The media don't care if it's JC or a leftist.

wonder if BJ regrets getting himself appointed PM
