ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

The joke is, I haven't said which 6% ;)

imago join the Five Percenters

xp you’re on your own now, imeltgo

TheIainDuncanSmiths seem to get better with every new vid they put out

The redone Spitting Image ones were great as well

OK but what's the badside

A PM desperate for the EU to resolve his problem of a deal acceptable to them and the Brexit ultras. Which they can't.

That Australia style deal? Well Australia doesn't have a car industry, and we won't have one if there's no deal. https://t.co/ffTfSLVWYX

It's OK, high demand for British iron ore, gold and aluminium will see us just fine.

is it me or was there an oven-ready deal a few months ago?

No one said anything about whether or not there was an acceptable oven.

My gut feeling still is that this is brinkmanship and theatre and the EU at least has something up its sleeve given its track record of suddenly finding solutions at 11.59pm but who even knows with our government.

my gut feeling is people in the orbit of Boris have a lot of money on no deal

yep

Yeah I go back and forward on the disaster capitalism angle but that's more to do with whether the Conservative Party would be happy killing off the rest of British capitalism as part of it, rather than whether or not the disaster capitalism itself exists.

I think ovenready just meant combustible

It's OK, high demand for British iron ore, gold and aluminium will see us just fine.

UK Independence Ponzi.

isn't most of the uk's gold welsh?

Cornwall, which geologically is a part of France that shifted to England has lithium!

Lbr Farage has found his niche

Re no deal investors upthread - wasn’t there some meeting with a load of Tory donors reported on around this time last year and Cummings promised them the country would exit by year end? Reminded me of that. Very strange.

a gift to the dogging lobby

I was just thinking, is dogging even a thing in London? I always think of it as something that happens in the suburbs/provinces.

NEW: Labour frontbench appointments – Wes Streeting has replaced Margaret Greenwood as shadow schools minister.

THINGS

CAN ONLY GET BETTER

Kieth's got his narrative sorted now, he tried to build a broad based coalition of Labour factions but those lefties with their purity politics are just incapable of compromise

Guarantee he finished watching Bossy Cop and immediately texted Streeting

just need to find a more prominent role for babs now and a Rachel Reeves promotion ... fucking taking the piss! This shit is what Tracy Brabin described as " a welcome return of a plurality of voices back to the fold" ... FUCK OFF!

you know the scumbag melts are back in charge when the shadow disability minister is having her criticism of the govt's neglect of disabled people edited and toned down, seriously fuck these arseholes.

From a piece in The Atlantic about the Dems which could just as easily be applied to Kieth

for too many of America’s leading liberal politicians, “realism” has become an identity unto itself, unmoored from any programmatic orientation toward the future or sustained effort to bring about significant change.

Who is having the last Big Mac before the world burns? That's right

Having grown up on a council estate, on free school meals, experiencing child poverty in the 1980s, I wouldn’t be where I am today without a great state education. I am absolutely thrilled @Keir_Starmer has asked me to join @KateGreenSU’s team as Shadow Minister for Schools.

Ffs Alphie I posted that hours ago

You posted about the appointment. I'm giving the free school meals a bit of focus

I don't know what salary they were offering originally but I'm pretty sure they'd get a very wide range of applicants for it if they weren't dicks

@MarinaHyde at her peerless best once again.

and no doubt thousands of other melt-adjacent, most-easily-impressed-crowd-ever will be lapping this up as well, can't wait till she uses something similar like ‘Vapid Response Team’ and some sophisticated simp declares it the gag of the century.

lol she's recycling this material as well, it's the third time she's used it.

i never want to find out who the girls have been screwing and i never wanna know who the guys have been doing but this feels like another "lol nothing matters" moment

how quaint, a sex scandal with added corruption and missapropriation of public funds - but enough 90's nostalgia - nothing matters!

Arcuri says she has been working on “fictionalised comedy drama about a young American woman and her political encounters in London” and plans to return to the UK once restrictions have been lifted.

Just another day in SuperWorld

I just had to check if Shatner was collecting tax for imports into Australia as he should be (he isn’t) and nearly ended up with a TJ Hooker patch and a 1987 Mardis Gras Doubloon featuring Mr. Shatner's as King Bacchus of Mardis Gras.

Posting this one again.

I think the last time I ran to catch a bus (which thankfully was a long time ago) it brought back memories of a TJ Hooker chase scene.

One of the ridiculous things about the Osborne story is: "they're going to increase the salary by £60k / 100k / 160k, to get better applicants".

Imagine that happening to the jobs that you or I apply for.

Well exactly, they're not even aware of the insult
