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

The UK Parliament has voted in favour of a general election on the 12th of December. The vote passed by 438 to 20.

so do 16-17yr/olds get to vote or nah?

We should probably poll the possible outcomes, but it feels rather inevitable that not a lot of posts will be moved and things will be largely more or less the same? Tories biggest, Labour trailing, LibDems gaining an inflated, ghostly sense of self-importants, and racists gonna racist.

xp nope

Nah, the amendment wasn’t chosen because: scope.

A small number, but proud

Some of us voting against General Election - we believe it cannot resolve #Brexit & we refuse to hand PM election he craves

If you want specific answer on Brexit, you have to ask a specific question

That’s why the only way forward is #PeoplesVote pic.twitter.com/OJ2KwJVL9x

pathetic

We believe our jobs are fucked

First Jebediah Cromwell statement:

The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has said:

This election is a once-in-a-generation chance to transform our country and take on the vested interests holding people back.

The choice at this election could not be clearer: A Labour government will be on your side; while Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, who think they’re born to rule, will only look after the privileged few.

We will now launch the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change that our country has ever seen. This is our chance to build a country for the many not the few and fit for the next generation.

Responding to the vote in parliament for a general election, the Lib Dem leader, Jo Swinson, has said:

"This general election will decide the future of our country for generations. It is our best chance to elect a government to stop Brexit.
The Liberal Democrats are the strongest party of Remain and will be standing on a manifesto to stop Brexit by revoking article 50.
This country deserves better than Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn and I am excited to take our positive, pro-European, liberal vision to the country as the Liberal Democrat candidate for prime minister."

I dunno if maybe Labour shouldn't go in as hard on these stealth Tories as they do the actual Tories. "Save this country from the likes of Swinson" and so on. I mean the gloves are already off, if indeed they were ever on.

Over 100 Labour MPs abstained

certainly a series of reminders to melts along the lines of "vote Lib Dem = get Brexit" would be in order

woke sobes is cancelled

some surprising names there. fuck ian murray

lammy voted against

Lammy wants a 2nd ref before a GE

three-line whip has a whole different meaning if you are a CuK

This is fucking hilarious

Quick word for the parliament that is about to end: It has been a very good parliament, historically good. In fraught circumstances, under fierce populist attack, it held the government to account and prevented some catastrophic outcomes.

For political and personal reasons, I have written tonight to @jeremycorbyn informing him of my decision not to stand at the coming General Election. It has been a great honour and a privilege to serve the people of the Pontypridd Constituency. pic.twitter.com/mIxz8spZte

on that Dunty thread all the usual "heroes" getting lots of praise: spiderwoman, joylon, fucking bercy... control f G Miller .... one person mentions her!

he is such a bootlicking cretin

And just like that, Owen Smith...
...melts away!

John Curtice, a politics professor at Strathclyde University, said that if Johnson maintains his 10-point lead in the polls through until Election Day — and that’s a big if — “that should be enough to deliver an overall majority, not necessarily an overwhelming one, but probably enough for him to be able to do what he wants to do on Brexit.”

how is this hapless choad currently up by 10 fucking points

media machine done a number on corbz

slash corbz hasn't been entirely smart about his gameplay thus far, but plenty can happen before an election

We just flew back from Vienna, on our 24th anniversary. Thought I'd post that on this thread..

.. Yesterday

just as the ISIS top job becomes available. suspicious

Interesting: John Curtice predicts no overall majority, with the Tories getting kicked out of government and Labour making a pact with the SNP and Lib Dems https://t.co/20cVeQyVDA

3) 28 inch penis
4) Ice cream rally
5) Staged Monty Python callback
6) Steak, salad & Spotify
7) Getting ISIS to negotiate

Sometimes I remember the time he rang 999 for a press quote from the police and die

"1,200 boys, three girls and I pulled Liz. So I must have something going on."

this will forever be the classic smithy quote for me

Too many lolz tonight:

Frothy coffee is mine. It’s art.

Receiving his "frothy coffee" in Pontypridd's Prince's cafe, Owen Smith stopped mid-sentence to express some amusement. "I tell you it is the first time I have ever been given little biscuits and a posh cup in here," Smith said, looking up at the owner David Gamberini, as his order was placed on the table. "Seriously, I would have a mug normally," the MP added, examining the refreshments in front of him.

are people talking about how the election results will now be in the early hours of friday 13th?

lot of christmas nights out on 12/12 too I reckon

fucking hell i've got to organise the office christmas meal and it will be around then

I wonder what odds I can get on a Corbyn government...

Apart from losing am worried the turnout will drop again after a few years on the increase. Obv. the Tories are banking on lower turnout. If only the thought of doorknocking didn't fill me with dread.
