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

"There's few Corbynista friends of mine I'm keeping an eye on."

they can't all have what it takes to be lifelong committed socialists like Chris Williamson :p

Nice.

On This Morning @richardm56 asked Jeremy how it’d work to have a Chancellor who doesn't believe in capitalism.

➜ Real living wage
➜ End to austerity
➜ Essential utilities in public ownership
➜ Income tax up only for top 5%
➜ 32 hour week with no loss of pay

That's how.

that awesomeness versus the Priti line that UK workers are a bunch of lazy malingerers that are responsible for the productivity crisis because of their obsession with music polls

:) also lol xp

Mcd being totally otm and amusingly being condescending to the running joke of a chancellor: grow up

Boris trying to sound like a particularly boorish clerk of works with maleness issues on a building site: man up.

yeah you can see why Eton has charity status.

this is a councillor from dewsbury, only two weeks after west yorkshire police got around 500 cops to escort a far-right march in the town, and targeted anti-fascists who’d come to oppose them https://t.co/1pdOUjtjlf

Very good on being at the mercy of shitty DWP

"In January 2018 I was told that my DLA was being scrapped. Presumably this was punishment for the notorious role disabled people played in the financial crisis"

huh! I thought it was too many libraries in Wolverhampton that caused that

turning disability benefits in a Kafkaesque nightmare/raffle ticket draw hasn't even saved them any money, apparently the welfare spend has actually gone up in the PIP era. That's tory austerity in a nutshell for you, persecuting and disenfranchising vulnerable citizens at a cost is how they roll.

just seen that clip from Richard and Judy where Corbyn says "Boris is a strange PM" and Judy says "Your not kidding". If Peter Oborne's rep can be slightly rehabilitated there is still hope for Richard's apparently better half.

Another said: “She was a terrible campaigner. She came across as grumpy, entitled and expecting to win, and then visibly irritated when she came under scrutiny.”

happy memories of GE'17

^^ sure fire xmas stockings hit, that book

I'll be sorely tempted to illegally down load it!

par for the course i know but impressed that jonathon freeland/sam bourne's latest piece on why corbyn should be removed manages to not mention policy once afaict

best description I heard of the Graun recently was "an opinion factory with 26 rectums"

huh! I thought it was too many libraries in Wolverhampton that caused that

If Jeremy Corbyn was spotted actually walking on water, Jonathan Freedland would file 1000w criticising him for not being able to swim.

Judy's always been fine, it's her husband who's the idiot.

it gives me, I think they call it ‘endorphins’

Hahahaha

oh yesssss

very important distinction re the two peters btw: hitchens p has no deeper more hated foe than british summertime -- WHY FALSIFY THE CLOCKS?

Only a few hours to go and Britain will be restored to natural, organic, truthful time after months of pointless dislocation. Let's stay on GMT . You wouldn't falsify a thermometer or a speedometer. Why falsify the clocks?

"You wouldn't falsify a thermometer"

is that a challenge

I'm pretty sure I've seen several Beano characters falsify a thermometer loads of times

Can't believe Diana Johnson got reselected ffs

you know Any Questions has been bad enough over the years, but it has been mostly much better than QT in this era - which isn't really saying much. But I don't think I'm going to listen to it ever again now that Chris Mason is the presenter.

Hahahahahahaha busted, Tim Spoons:

Also can someone explain what the IMF *is* to him.

I like that the headline in the Guardian article states he "may have" broken the law, while the article goes on to state a series of easily verifiable instances where the law was openly and massively flouted.

Also can someone explain what the IMF *is* to him.

yes that

Extension to 31st January then

At last check daily mail and sky news were still running brexit countdown clocks

Now, will Corbyn break free and vote for an election?

probably not today.

Don't hold your breath.

Clocks go back an hour - Hitch has an aneurysm over phoney clocks of deception

Brexit clocks go forward 2 months - no comment yet.

Is it lack of December election readiness or does he want Johnson to keep stewing in his own juices?

Question as to why Corbyn won't make the call.

No election because there’s still ample possibility of Tories doing a no deal crash-out this time next year after the WA goes through.

Shit scared of losing badly, I would have thought. Not Corbyn, that is, but 'his' MPs

Question as to why Corbyn won't make the call.

i think at the moment there's a perception that it's good to let Johnson take ownership of this WA and his failure to get it through. it also seems as if Corbyn is now pushing for the possible no deal scenario within the WA to be written out before he'll accept an election, but whether that's a pretext or a legitimate goal, god knows. i think there's probably just a general instinct to avoid as far as possible giving Johnson an election on terms of his own choosing.

if the Corbyn-sympathetic MPs in the PLP really want an election now then i suspect there would be the numbers in Parliament to get it through

Yeah but if the whips know most of the PLP won’t vote for it, Corbyn can’t vote for it. It’d be an easy attack line - “his MPs don’t respect him, why should you?”

"Awful rabble". "Hostile crowd". I have to say, the sense of entitlement and barely veiled racism from some middle class white Labour members isn't exactly shocking, but it always manages to be thoroughly sickening. pic.twitter.com/DWM4KKRlF9

some quite sour melts not loving the Momentum-backed Apsana Begum win in Poplar and Limehouse, apparently the venue was too small and there was a crowd of terrifying savages or something.

Appreciate answers all, thanks

Definite upgrade for Nottingham East here

I'm told Nadia Whittome - local anti-Brexit, pro-free movement activist - has won Labour's selection in Nottingham East.

The guy replacing Gapes also seems to be good (wouldn't take a lot, but genuinely good).

People on left twitter were less happy about Vauxhall's choice to replace Hoey. Ongoing gains and losses.

I'm astonished that you suggest Gapes can be ..replaced!
