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

Swinson is so white Dulux can't even use her to colour match Whiter than White Mist.

Calz, are you thinking of Bonnie Greer? She’s very FPBE, true, but I’d never put her in as a full melt.

swinson's actual influence over politics seems in direct inverse correlation to her messiah complex

xxp
erm .. that probably should be they can use her to...

xp
no it's someone from Buzz Feed, but I might be slurring them as a melt just on the strength that they often take the piss out of corbyn!

Oh! Bonnie said similar just now and she’s not one to make fun of him.

hmm weird that a tory source would claim corbyn has no policy despite labour policy being pretty clear-cut, wonder what that's all about - anyway better just tweet that shit asap i guess

Tory source adds: Corbyn made clear he has no policy except more delays and to spend 2020 having referendums.
So talks broke down pretty quickly then.

Let's not forget that turfing the LDs out of cabinet and replacing them with Tories marked an increase in the gender and ethnic diversity.

Johnson and Rees-Mogg both have a (Trumplike) petulant streak that's a mile wide - Corbyn is too much of a straight shooter to exploit it, they should unleash Johnny Mac on them.

Ian "spud gun" Murray facing deselection is what they be talking about

I have to admit he is not in my top 5 MPs I think of that fit that description

Only because he isn't a baldy potato?

This is partly my fault cos I keep forgetting Danczuk isn’t an MP anymore

I assumed Sajid Sontaran.

tbh it's probably quicker and easier to name the mps who aren't potato-featured in some way

Notes from the meeting: Nick Brown said a new programme motion could be agreed by the end of today. Cummings said the French were going to veto delay. Brown said Macron was playing them for fools. Cummings “threw his arms in the air”.

Macron an astute judge of character and intelligence it seems.

Macron knows a prick when he sees one

Saw this on Twitter, loled but also don’t fit in with any of these (probably why I’m not a member)

That is great.

Don't you ever put your fist in the air and shout Cuba! In random outbursts Whilst drinking in wetherspoons?

comprehensive!

i particuarly enjoy the multiple owen smiths

Matt Hancock just got up to speak at the dispatch box

- wearing an NHS badge
- “let me be clear”
- “the NHS is not and never will be for sale”
- Labour have “nothing to say” because “they don’t want to talk about Brexit”
- “the conservatives are the party of the NHS”

Channeling Ben Swain here

40 new hospitals!!!!

Maybe just stop downgrading current hospitals and shutting A+E's down, just an idea.

The new hospitals are both really small and far away.

re: what brought the ERG around, this feels right. but i would have like it to run about 5 times longer.

This story!

New: The Labour Party has suspended former M&S boss Lord Stone over claims of sexual harassment and sexist/transphobic comments

While he was defending himself to the Standards Commissioner, he also used the N-wordhttps://t.co/y2bvVDIWdE

wtf

another moderate voice cruelly purged from the Labour Party

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHkKF2VXUAEdxPK?format=jpg&name=large this is silly but I love it

I see the PLP are back on their bullshit

What are they up to now?

And the Labour whips have reportedly advised Jeremy Corbyn that if he supports an early general election he will not have enough Labour MPs on his side. Around 140 Labour MPs have reportedly told whips they would vote no to early election

— Nicholas Watt (@nicholaswatt) October 23, 2019

Why PLP reluctance?

-some think they can continue to tie Johnson up in knots
-some that Corbyn is bigger problem than Brexit and don't want to go into another election with him in any circs
-some think Johnson victory in deal/election an inevitability. So why go for elex now?

— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) October 23, 2019

so much trash still in the Labour party.

Ah I see. I think they could still get an election under FTPA, 2/3 of 640 = 429, you’d need all the Tories plus SNP plus about 100 Labour MPs plus DUP maybe?

288+100+35+19+10 - that’d do it, but you’d want to get really high turnout cos absolutely none of the independents will be voting for that.

I was 14 yrs old - the summer after Thatcher's notorious 1981 budget. 'Ghost Town' spoke to me and every other teenage kid. The message of social neglect and division are as relevant now as they were then. Thanks @UK_Music and @SuperSizeArt for this gift.https://t.co/WAE2DO3Ft6 pic.twitter.com/y4hP48Nnt6

I can't wait for Tom's coming of age picaresque novel, where he has some tedious bollox about the first time he heard every fucking album in existence!

I've managed to end up with tickets for the Corbyn rally in Bristol tomorrow, the last time I was in the venue was to see Flying Lotus' 3D show on a bucketload of research chemicals. Hoping JC is aware of the competition and pulls out live holograms of Trotsky or something tbh.

brace yourself for drain covers, the triumphs of the steam age and his prize marrow, maybe pack some mogadons this time :p

Aye.

Ruth Davidson finds life as a politician so stressful she's decided to compliment her Holyrood salary with a second job working for a PR firm in the City, advising "some of the biggest players in corporate Britain." Just an unbelievable grifter. https://t.co/Ogw7NnoDZ7
