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

Thx.

Rudd is backing Letwin.

edging towards a Christmas election, what a treat

It would be preferable to have an election after a harsh winter has killed off loadsa old bastards

Entirely different subject...but fucking funny

Thank fuck there’s a film festival on in my city this week (and I’m not a psychopath who checks my phone in the cinema), I can spend all tomorrow watching films and not compulsive checking this bullshit every five minutes

I'll be watching a Blackburn v Town stream early KO, drinking early, constantly shaking my head at wtf is going on and watching it all horribly unfold. Will be checking on the WA vote in parliament as well.

im 8 hours behind the uk and a late riser on weekends so i will wake up to the results. a bit like fucking christmas morning, but much shittier

lmao

posting an image rather than a link because virgin deleted their tweet after this epic dunk

Booming Tweet

keep dunking on them until they are too scared to post!

when I think about it if alcohol prices had inflated at the same rate as train tickets since the 90's you'd be paying something like £35 for a 4-pack of Stella

I really hope Letwin passes because the number of Labour MPs pledging to back the deal is edging ominously upwards.

I read that at first thinking Letwin was poorly. Thought it was a bit brutal..

(xp) Yes, this prompted a rare bust up between me and Comrade Alphabet earlier on, but I have zero confidence in these spineless cunts not to fold and hand this shitshow on a plate to the ERG and the Britannia Unchained ghouls.

heard the *surprising* reveal that Gauke has come out for the WA on 5 live earlier. Wow I really thought this guy who had no objections to the nationwide UC rollout when he had the DWP brief was one of the more thoughtful and nice tories.

just heard Super Saturday used on 5 live as well, lol

Here's another one. Labour MPs are going to give us not only Brexit but God knows how many years of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.

fucking Grimsby, bomb the shithole.

The Boris deal gives companies a strong incentive to relocate to Northern Ireland. They’d benefit from frictionless EU access and future UK trade deals. Makes for a richer Ulster and, ergo, a stronger union. Leader in the Spectator: https://t.co/ZX9diw1xHL

people in Sheffield are offering to drive Jared O'Mara to London

Or, you know, cutting out Northern Ireland could piss the unionists off

This is from a hardline loyalist. Says if NI can’t Brexit on same terms as rest of the UK the DUP should vote for *revocation* of A50. In dispatching the DUP in the way they did, wonder if Downing St have much idea of what they might have unleashed...https://t.co/4jrCkREeh2

"the Betrayal Act" they might end up regretting using such hateful and divisive remainer rhetoric :p

Just very openly admitting they pushed through austerity knowing the damage it would cause https://t.co/X7e25LvwtC

Tim Farron taking confession and admitting he and his party are a set of complete cunts

that is a staggering thing to actually say out loud.

It is utterly extraordinary that some Labour MPs believe this tripe spewed out by Number 10 is some sort of “legally binding” commitment to maintaining workers’ rights and environmental standards.

Yes, there are echoes of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

Just saw someone on Twitter outraged at a use of Super Saturday to refer to anything except the day that Team GB win six medals at the 2012 olympics.

“...we’ll leave the showdown in Central Lobby between Gareth Snell and Caroline Lucas for now to go over to Steve Baker on College Green. Chris - how’s things looking with the ERG?” #SuperSaturday pic.twitter.com/p5T8I9zlrL

Good luck today dear peeps

I THOUGHT CROBBEN WAS IN LIVERPOOL? PLZ CONFIRM THX.

Ken Clarke is on board with the deal.

I can’t see it not passing tbh.

The government isn’t going to have the vote today if Letwin passes

Ken Clarke backs the deal. A blow to unfunny parody accounts which people inexplicably RT in huge numbers

— Henry Zeffman (@hzeffman) October 19, 2019

seeing as he commands the respect of *all* of parliament this is the final death blow to Letwin amendment

might be a bad omen that the ERG chair/brexit hardman found an escaped wallaby in his garden last night.

And that England just humped the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup, which of course Cuntface mentioned in the Commons.

I'm not convinced that, even if the deal passes, it's going to translate to a Tory majority at the next election.

It might have been a mistake for Labour not to threaten to remove the whip from MPs who vote for the deal.

I think they might've done it - or at least I have seen the leadership change the position after pressure from the grassroots - but I think Letwin has taken the pressure off this vote.

I really don't know whether people are telling lies to themselves over the Letwin == let the deal go through it's fine.

Your cynicism has a solid base but I think it was more of a deal goes through == Lab are finished == David Mil is gonna get in that prompted me to do bad posting.

aw in the midst of national disharmony one touching moment of rapprochement.

Not quite. Someone, can't remember who, was speculating on the thought processes of those Labour MPs who are prepared to back the deal and I said it's probably 'deal goes through == Lab are finished == David Mil'.

I suspect there are some galaxy brain Kinnock types who see backing the deal as shoring up their constituency votes AND dealing a lethal blow to Corbyn in the process.

I don't really understand the machinations of today, no clue at all about what will transpire

I'm not convinced that, even if the deal passes, it's going to translate to a Tory majority at the next election.

I could see the idea that "I'm not saying I like the guy, but credit where its due, he gets things done alright" would work in Boris's favour, and that kind of stuff matters a lot more than is maybe given credit for.

waterloo station is febrile with a large group of docile people’s vote protestors and a handful of cheap-suited hoorays yelling and shouting “TWATS” at them.

plus women in hats going to the races.

all going on. hope my friend arrives soon so i can leave.
