Before I click it, do they jump off?

they are so upset about spuzzing away £10.5 k to Jess Phillips they top themselves!

xxxp otm, fuck those announcements

"Also we aren't talking about the Tories anywhere near enough on this thread"

it's clear (like it always was really) that there will be five more years of austerity and further cuts will happen soon. At first to find the money so trains can run past provincial shitholes much faster than they do. As the economy shrinks and unemployment rises there will be more deeper cuts to come. People are so inured to dead disabled people and mass homelessness at this point there will be nothing to report.. I'm nervously avoiding Tories rn because there is nothing I can to do stop them and I've run out of hope and they might even succeed in finally finishing me and my family off before 2024.

It is officially the UK’s most Eurosceptic town, so it is perhaps no surprise that Boston is set to celebrate “long into the night” to mark Brexit.
The town in Lincolnshire, where 75.6% voted leave in the 2016 referendum, will hold “plenty of parties” this evening.
One resident, Brian Shaw, 76, labelled it a landmark day for the country and declared he “cannot wait to stop being ruled by the EU”.
“I’m very pleased. I’ve voted Labour all my life until this time when I voted Conservative because I knew they would get it through,” he told PA Media.

Would be a massive shame if Brian drank enough to die from liver failure at the party tonight

Those liveblog anecdotes are all grim as fuck. Remind me why the Guardian is boosting this shit again? Is the triumphalism of the rest of the media not enough for them?

who'd have thought such a void of character county like lincolnshire would be full of gnarly inbreds?

Also we aren't talking about the Tories anywhere near enough on this thread, they seem to have gone quiet and are probably taking advantage of a general sense of politics fatigue in the country at the moment. That's dangerous

OTM, one of the examples of this being the government's ability to completely steamroller any of the amendments returned by the Lords on the Brexit bill. The only fault-line I'm aware of is the Huawei question and that seems to have died down?

I mean, the right in "power first" shocker.

You've got to wonder where lie the new fault lines that will make then turn on one another in the way Europe did.

I previously had the idea that the nativist and capitalist factions would split, but lol at me for being so naive. Esp when I have no issue with fishhook theory and the right prioritise winning above all else.

I’m vaguely interested in who will come after BJ cos I can’t see him finishing his term. All potential successors are so absolutely horrendous on almost every level, they might have to shove in some nobody. Not that it will matter in a few years once they fuck with the franchise.

Also, this is such a horrendous look for Nandy.

gyac: what do you see dethroning him?

With no opposition in parliament and no election for ages they don’t really need him. My guess is a scandal too big and/or ugly to ignore.

But the big if is Boris not remaining useful in some way. Then I think you’d see all the shit that got hand waved or just not printed come roaring back. Idk, he looks invincible now, but so did Major in 92.

Gove will stab him in the face at the first serious downturn in the polls.

Yes, but even on his best day Gove is absolutely despised by the public.

Pretty sure he doesn't believe that.

The new faultline is going to be immigration policy, surely? The country is finally going to find out what taking back all this control was actually for and there will be fights over it within the Tory Party but its still likely to be eclipsed by the euphoria of having won a proper workable majority for the first time in nearly 30 years. Deep down the Tories are probably nervous about the chances of anyone but Johnson being able to hold onto a lot of those new seats.

I read somewhere that immigration has largely disappeared from the front pages now the primary purpose of the migration panic has been achieved. Especially given it doesn't really sell papers. That might turn out to be a good thing in the long run.

I can't wait till it turns out boris is beholden to an occult nazi hedge-fund that harvest babies blood and have a global human-traffiking operation, but nobody gives a shit and it's his leaked last fm playlist that finally brings him down

If that worked I’m sure someone here would have done it for baggymp

having untrammelled power in parliament brings much more pressure than was there before, when shit goes flying everywhere it should be all on them now. They can't blame it on the the wets trying to stop brexit or New Labour anymore, but it isn't like they don't get away with murder quite easily.

My interview with Sadiq Khan for tomorrow's @CityAM, in which he comes out against the government's tax on tech giants

“We work in a global economy, to unilaterally impose taxes in one country could have unintended consequences...”

is this a parody account.. oh no it's just Sadiq Khan being himself.

Mayor of Liverpool refuses to implement any more cuts.
Could this be the beginning of a serious fightback against local government cuts?https://t.co/fybhXRSxkn

ah man the Kinnock family won't sleep tonight

If we are going to grind through five years of even harder austerity I want to see more reaction like this in the regions ffs!

i edited off the bit of my post where I refer to Andy Burnham and Sadiq Khan as *melt cunts* because I'm currently being bullied by a pathetic private school brat from ilm!

joeks of course .. don't worry I've not turned into Fred bollock!

Lads have you seen the BBC schedules for tonight? Rolling my eyes.

Mary Beard is a cop as well it seems.

I refuse to believe that

"Mary Beard and guests discuss how our culture is responding to the issue of migration"
idk tonight of all nights?

I wouldn't mind seeing live footage of Doggerland getting deluged by a tsunami, but nothing actually happens here. Just EDL lads getting drunk in the rain. Or those millions of quiet tory voters having a quiet night in.

Sedgefield CLP nominates:

• Rebecca Long-Bailey to be leader of the Labour Party
• Richard Burgon to be deputy leader of the Labour Party

This CLP nominated Liz Kendall in 2015 and didn't nominate any candidate in 2016.

this is a quite big transfer deadline coup by the small club here, Jonathan ....

just heard a Brexit voter called Gareth Coombes on the radio, can't help but feel a little betrayed.

the real Gaz will also be horrified, that his namesake couldn't just keep his politics off the radio and play some bar skittles for goodness sake

Lads have you seen the BBC schedules for tonight? Rolling my eyes.

I'm just blanking all media out tonight listening to audiobook of Kotkin's Waiting For Hitler. it's pretty sweet tbh!

Lol you need to take a night off the Hitler.

Stick to Viz.

Viz content that made me lol the other day!

Five minutes to one of the most monumentally stupid things any nation has done to itself and it’s people.

guaranteed lots of people tomorrow smugly saying "look, brexit happened and nothing's changed, it's all fine, you were worried about nothing"

fuck
