bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

we might be entering an interglacial cold period i wouldn't dispute the science behind that, only the planet is still burning, so when we come out of it - we might be turning into a slightly cooler Venus by then!

yeah you’d think the whole thing about huge swathes of australia having being on fire for weeks now would fatally undermine that theory but cranks gonna crank i guess

I like Miles Jupp and his "...it'll have to be Pat Mountain" bit on New World Order

hopefully he's not on Twitter

for weeks now

six months now in some parts

"The gun, believed to be a 9mm Glock 17 pistol, was reported to have been left by the officer after he took off his holster while using the toilet."

the blueish background was better wtf

The blue background pictures mainly look eldritch tbh. Not difficult with many uk pols but surely to be avoided if possible in a portrait

I know Crace is bad not good but

Nicky Morgan has just said the BBC needs to change to stay relevant. Pretty much the same attitude she has taken in regard to her own principles

Feel like this is going to end up given to Jo Johnson. Or Carrie. Or Piers Corbyn.

I'm not really a fan of mid to late period Ken Loach but all those dickheads at the time of its release who were saying I Daniel was hyperbolic lefty propagandising need to think about the damage five more years of UC is going to do.

yeah but it'll do it to people who those dickheads will never have to meet or think about so who gives a fuck amirite

they've paused the full roll-out of universal credit again, it's almost like they can't admit that it is an expensive failure but they can't pull the plug either.

if they did that they'd run the risk of ian duncan smith looking stupid, so you cna see where they're coming from

I can't remember what the numbers were, but apparently the target was to have migrated something like 40000 legacy benefit claimants onto Universal Credit by last month and they've managed about 17 or something.

The press deserves everything they get. Wouldn’t expect anything from someone who’s a pal of Arron Banks though.

sorry but Corbyn criticising Johnson for “shutting newspapers out of Number 10” is epic hypocrisy, his election battlebus was a no-go zone for almost all of us

Lol. There’s a difference between party campaigning and government business. Or at least there used to be.

Btw, I don’t think this video of Priti Patel was posted.

some more serious Tory antisemitism for the "Antisemitism Tsar" to ignore. Lol he's too busy attacking Kier Starmer today.

counter-terrorist offenders

what the fuck are counter-terrorist offenders? people who unlawfully beat up terrorists?

that's how sacrosanct human rights are to Priti!

I feel like not bringing a weapon with you and attempting to stab people with a knife you've shoplifted but not managed to take out of the protective plastic sleeve almost qualified as counter-terrorism offending.

hats off to priti patel tho, in a cabinet chock-full of dead-eyed morons she still manages to stand out from the crowd as a particularly accomplished idiot

she's a mastermind champion next to Liz Truss ... shit wheres Chris Grayling when you are looking for a token dumb as fuck male MP at the risk of seeming like a sexist bastard!

look i know the brexit party isn't too popular around these parts but maybe we should hear this guy out

A multi-millionaire Brexit Party candidate has invented a bin for homeless people to sleep in.

Peter Dawe fashioned the 'sleep pod' out of two red wheelie bins, which turn on a hinge to create enough room for someone to lie down in.

The entrepreneur, who picked up 1.9% of the votes when he ran in the General Election in Cambridge last year, says the nifty invention costs just £100.

Mr Dawe, who has dozens of companies and projects listed on his website, believes the invention can have a global impact.

“I saw on the telly rough sleepers complaining they had been kicked and pissed upon," he explained.

“Lying on the street in a sleeping bag, you are very vulnerable.”

Mr Dawe came up with the idea after building a prototype for a single person car, also from a bin.

In undertaking R and D for the vehicular-waste disposal unit he got inside a bin and discovered how comfortable it was.

“I was actually quite delighted,” Mr Dawe of Ely, Cambridgeshire, said of the results.

“It was definitely comfier than sleeping on the ground in a tent. It was totally draught proof, in fact it’s storm proof.

“It’s really cosy, comfortable and dry.”

I see how the "Antisemitism Tsar" operates when there is a case of blatant Tory antisemitism. He stays silent but will retweet a low profile neutral tweet on the matter to cover his remit.

oh I'm wrong he apparently told newsnight Kawczynski’s “position is untenable”

but he seemingly doesn't like to talk about it!

The conference is organised by this dude, right?
