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

as opposed to an actual ice scuplture standing in for boris on channel 4

That was such a crock as well, they barely melted during the whole thing

Kier Starmer strongly disapproved of this of this non-melting I heard.

Sunak is like an Asian Matt Hancock, a creepy little weasel who was bullied mercilessly at prep school but got round that by wheedling his way into the bullies' circle, then cheering them on as they bully others the way they used to bully him. All the while knowing he's a misplaced word away from ending up with his trousers at his ankles and his head in a toilet bowl.

He is also another Oxford PPE type.

Is there still going to be a Budget in a few weeks' time?

Yes. This Sunam chump won't be writing it.

Autocorrect has to learn his name

at least he has 3 weeks prep to practise looking like a grown up Chancellor for when he announces Cummings' budget.

a Cummings budget will be great, looking forward to a few billion being invested into building a giant AI to replace the Queen as head of state

that does sound like an improvement tbf, maybe this waterheaded william gibson misunderstander is on to something after all

I wonder if he has managed to make an AI version of Liz Truss with a functional brain yet.

Rishi Sunak’s wife is the daughter of an Indian billionaire - they met at Stanford.

what a heartwarming romance. My missus thinks he's cute!

dishi sunak morelike amirite ladies

you are not

tbf getting a chancellor who is a billionaire via marriage is a good step towards levelling up the country.

My missus thinks he's cute!

He's like 4 foot tall.

perfect for Cummings - a puppet chancellor you can fit in a suitcase.

that's cute, QED

In no way do I wish to criticise any leadership candidate for seeking to identify the reasons for Labour’s devastating election defeat, and our failure to communicate effectively with voters in a way that convinced them we were in touch with their everyday concerns must be central to this analysis. However, we should expect this discussion to be informed by facts.

Andy McDonald on Nandy's bullshit last night.

Packing the cabinet with right wing wankers of Indian extraction will help them consolidate the Hindu fascist vote - and ditching the Muslim too, of course.

Jfc I just saw Suella Braverman is the new Attorney General

aye what a fucking charmer.

Man she's changed since she was on Play School

that's what logging on to breitbart every day does to you!

xp loooool

look at that, javid even positioned himself so sunak looked at least 5 ft and spare change tall and he still betrayed him!

love to wear a suit to the cinema when i’m on a business date with the boss

definitely human, they said so themselves.

Thinking back on the New Labour years and the absolute dominance of Gordon Brown in the Treasury, to the extent that it was absolutely inconcievable that Blair might sack him under any circumstances. With the possible exception of Osborne, every Chancellor has seemed weaker and less influential than the last.

I think lots of the shittiest added cuts to Universal Credit might have been the result of Osborne flexing his power way beyond his brief. Although I'm not saying it will be any better with the little puppet boy.

Have to admit I spent a good ten minutes this evening trying to work out if there were any current Premier League footballers older than our new Chancellor and sadly even Heurelho Gomes and Big Willy Caballero are six months or so younger.

wouldn't he be slightly to the left of that Bolsanaro supporting Spurs right winger though?

S Bush was saying earlier that commentariat that are describing spreadsheet phil as a moderate need their fucking heads looking at. I concur with him on this.

now that Chancellor of the Exchequer doesn't really exist as a post any more. It could be quite frightening because now when they decide to make very shit decisions that fuck peoples lives up, shit will roll downhill a lot bloody faster and with much less resistance than previously.

even Osborne suffered temporary defeats even though he was about 1000 times more a high-powered chancellor than this little shit will ever dream of being!

i didn't realise the mighty British Empire stretched back to the cretaceous and late jurrassic epochs, you live and you learn!

good lads

xp tbh as a young dinosaur-living child, I was always very angry that we didn’t have dinosaurs and ye did. One of the first things I did when I started coming over here was go to the Natural History museum. I still need to see the fucked up Crystal Palace dinosaurs.

Starmer showing his sexist condescension game on the telly, tries to chime in and answer over RLB and then there is a smarmtastic "very good" for a Mancunian woman recognising a pic of Andrew Cole :&

"b b but they are treating us like foreigners.."

'the brexit i voted for was a renewed licence for us to treat immigrants like shit, not for ME to be treated like that'

lol

I just saw the new UK sticker on that sign (didn’t know if transition period meant UK citizens travelled as before). Having said that, the number of airports where I’ve seen Brits go to the non-EU queue must be in double digits.

Truly scandalous. I can't believe Brussels gave its blessing to a EU-wide referendum on whether the UK should leave or remain.

Schadenfreude, you love too see it.

sorry, we don't speak foreign here, can you translate
