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

there are other ways

Given that Telegraph premium content includes Tom Harris and Charles Moore, I’ll probably be better off not knowing

i have access to factiva!

Fair enough! But seriously, thank you for sharing.

Also I didn’t see if this catastrophic take had been posted earlier

I only started coming to work by tube because of Greta Thunberg. And now I run the risk of the train being hijacked by the lunatic fringe of Extinction Rebellion. Would they rather we all drove? Targeting commuters on public transport is a staggeringly stupid move.

Having problems believing lachrymose Ulster unionists' shock and surprise that the English don't care that much about the Union and care even less about Northern Ireland. Are they stupid or what?

Senior Labour source suggests to me that the party’s National Executive Committee will bar any Labour MP who votes for Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal from standing again, if the Whip isn’t withdrawn first

😍

With a bit of luck that'll get rid of a few more unwanted dregs

Ronnie Campbell is out then. And Dennis Skinner I assume.

anonymous sources are good again

Understand Labour MPs will not lose whip if they back PM's deal on Saturday

they're bad again sorry

Mark Field not standing, got it in the neck from the Womens Eq

it's happening

Thinking Mark Field will vote against, this timing’s a bit on the nose.

I don't think any Tories will vote against it. Dominic Grieve maybe, but that's it.

Matt Hancock getting a rinsing on QT, waiting for Fifi to hit him with ‘they’re laaaaaaaughing at you!’

Ronnie Campbell is out then. And Dennis Skinner I assume.

Just as well as they've got a combined age of 3000.

(xp) Switched over, saw Martin Daubney, switched back.

This wiki page is good for an up to date list of MPs not standing next time btw: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_election

Over on FB some of his former colleagues are *spilling* BEB.

Just sharing because I absolutely love to see it, thanks #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/9gHFtOVuRd

Yr ordinary white working class Brit argument making Gerry Adams’s own points for him, he can’t buy this kind of recruitment!

lol, incredible

imagine being interested in politics enough to join the audience of question time and to make a point to the panel but not interested enough to actually think about exploring exactly what the whole issue with the border and the backstop and all that stuff people have been banging on about constantly for more than three years

i am also in favour of making Ireland the whole of Ireland again tbf

i too stand with this hooting question time moron

I loved, loved the boos. Really all time

enjoying Matt Hancock nodding sagely at this guy

Is Chuka Ummuna really on the radio giving Labour MPs a lecture on loyalty to the Labour Party or am I still asleep and just having a weird dream

— Gloria De Piero (@GloriaDePiero) October 18, 2019

it's definitely come to something when Gloria De Piero is otm!

that pensive look from Matt Hancock on QT is me when I'm thinking hmm..what sandwich today

Me when I’m wondering “did the kitten fart or does she have shit stuck in her tail again”?

if I was to try to profile the QT moron I'd guess he works as a contracts manager for Pimlico Plumbing.

pretty sure breaking up the union is the Will of the People now

Johnson's deal will be a wrecking ball through the lives & well-being of ordinary people across Britain. Labour MPs cannot and must not vote for it. If they do, the NEC will have no choice but to replace them with a new, socialist Labour candidate at the next election

HE'S READY

Johnson has never given a stuff about NI and the union so this shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone.

I love it when Lansman is in a ain't taking no shorts mood

so far most of the talk i've heard about Labour melts has been from right wing pundits and sounds more like wishful thinking than serious trouble on the horizon but it's going to be some kind of a weekend whatever and good luck UK Former Rump Nations of the UK England and Wales

Johnson has never given a stuff about NI and the union so this shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone.

Very much the default for a member of the Conservative (& Unionist) Party I'd say.

When is the vote tomorrow scheduled for?

HE'S READY

oh god i read some comments tho :(

some local Tories I'm silently stalking for the lol Yorkshire Gothic Lynchian imagery, 2nd left Beth Prescott unsuccessfully stood against Paula Sherriff in '17.

i thought you had to be 18?

ban these sick cults

another one for the 'faces you see when you wake up hanging from a meat hook' file

he Labour MP John Mann has predicted that “more than nine” of his parliamentary colleagues will vote for Johnson’s deal on Saturday.

The Bassetlaw MP told RTE radio on Friday morning he would be voting for the Johnson deal with other prepared to risk the Labour whip and join him.

“I think there will be more Labour MPs [voting for the deal] than British media have been speculation this morning,” he said adding that this was because these MPs saw no deal as a worse option.

He told the Sean O’Rourke show that Labour MPs who were saying the deal would erode workers rights were “wrong” because it would be up to parliament to confirm anything set out in the political declaration in the next set of negotiations for a trade deal. If parliament wanted to “reduce workers rights”, then “more fool them” he said.

'yeah we'll open the door to creating a usa-style hellscape for powerless workers crushed by draconian new at-will employment laws but we're hoping that we won't then let corporations march right through it, it'll probably all be fine'
