corporate ghouls that are sucking the blood out of this country and causing destitution and death like Atos, Capita, Serco, Good old freedom fighting Deliveroo, The Cayman Islands and the weapons of mass death manufacturer whose latest product has been performing well in Yemen. great set of lads at the tory conference.

Dude 10 years ago all them dudes wd've been welcomed at the Labour conference, that's why never again

Yep, saw Natasha Engel, formerly Labour MP for north east Derbyshire, at Tory conference advocating for fracking.

I think ATOS would probably have been at the Labour conference 10 years ago, chilling with Yvette and pals after gaining their massive contract to make disabled ppl disappear

The theory which is preying on me now is that Boris is happy to be dragged kicking and screaming to ask for an extension, so that he can try to regain some of the Brexit Party's outraged vote.

thats seems very 2d when he hasnt shown much inclination towards that level of complexity heretofore

earlier on R4 this morning some disembodied tory voice said: Boris now thinks he can fight and win an election if A50 is extended because he can blame parliament for forcing his hand, whereas before he was convinced going beyond the 31st deadline would be electoral death.

it probably would be best to dispense with the dead cat irish border proposal that will 1000% be rejected and cut straight to the election, but he probably is playing to the bxp'ers

don’t think he’ll extend - would rather martyr himself. needs something properly resonant to cut the BXP off at the knees

He'll let himself be deposed, let someone else request the extension, and then claim betrayal and hope to win the subsequent general election on that basis.

some v good “no one tells me what to write here”

Will it work? Dublin's agreement is all. Govt sources say discreet conversations with senior Irish politicians over the summer suggested they would bite, even on customs - but their calculations changed after the Benn Act was passed, and they're now retreating 3/

In other news, a stunning story about Margaret Thatcher’s outrageously close relationship with the press, from the first page of Charles Moore’s third and final volume of her life, which is out today. pic.twitter.com/yF5Wc5nBsH

was a conspicuous amount of “benefit of the doubt” going round for priti patel yesterday

this is a person who relishes being pure evil to such an absurd degree that it's probably the end in and of itself

Lib Dem MP: I would rather no-deal Brexit than Jeremy Corbyn as PM https://t.co/DALz5o3JYQ

Yes, I wonder why that is.

Last time out he won the seat with only an 0.7% swing to the Lib Dems - it’ll be SNP next time

no point quoting stats to the LibDems, they don't even see themselves as a third party anymore - the sky is the limit!

the isle of skye that is!

The @Telegraph conclusion this evening: “Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach, is now the main obstacle standing in the way of Britain leaving the EU with a deal on Oct 31.”

ring the collins bell loud and clear. time to join calz and xyz in the trenches

Between the Irish, the French, the Germans, Eastern Europeans, etc., there are so many enemies to choose from! Stoking one's vainglorious paranoia has never been this easy – and exciting!

The absolute state of that front page, fucking propaganda rag.

Also shout out to useful idiots like Skinnock who are like THIS IS TOTALLY FINE AND WE CAN VOTE FOR IT

Weirdly the actual Europe correspondent for the Telegraph has a decent take on it

Turn on my radio this morning, and just hear the sound of Westminster talking to itself.

Reminds me of the days after the Chequers deal? Correspondents totting up votes for a deal that - barring serious EU-turns - isn't negotiable. /1

Boris has in his hands a piece of paper

lol @ new dn nv!

The Irishers are definitely getting the blame for this one.

When you see Johnson hailed like the conquering hero, aka King Billy, at a DUP meeting and somebody sniggeringly calls out, "No surrender, eh Boris?", you know that.

I think the tory press are still upset that Leo completely mugged off Boris at his own classicism game and made him look a complete guileless dunce and of course centuries of imperial arrogance still going strong.

What I don't get, or maybe I do, is there must be thousands of Protestant Ulster businesspeople who know this is going to be a disaster, who've said it's going to be a disaster, and who will still dutifully troop out and vote DUP from now till doomsday. Fuck these twisted bastards.

what option do they have tbf

Vote for somebody else, obviously. (xp)

they can name him now but probably not pronounce it

xp tom, shudder the thought man!

look its terrible sad that its gonna come to this but

*opens trapdoor under rug, pulls out large army-issue crate*

The Irish getting the blame is the least surprising turn in all this.

Cabinet done and dusted in 50 minutes this morning. Told there was no dissent. Boris Johnson stressed that he was going to adopt a tone of ‘glutinous emollience’ to both the EU and Labour MPs over the next few days

— James Forsyth (@JGForsyth) October 3, 2019

Because glutinous emollience is BJ's greatest of his many strengths, as we all know.

That word choice gave me a little bit of von in my mouth.

not the first time that boris has chosen to spread his paste around

*goes back to bed*

needs to be jizzer warnings on this thread!

I think we should relentlessly fp any people willingly going there itt. It’s sickening enough as it is.
