brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/politics/student-fees-control-time-stopped-sending-children-university/

As part of their generous general election offer, the Labour Party said that ditching university tuition fees would cost £11.2 billion. Well, so now they’ve had a bit of a play around on the Diane Abbott Special Needs Abacus, and it turns out it would actually cost nearer £100 billion, if they carry out their latest "ambition" to cancel out all historic student loans.

should probably have posted that in the "insane conservative commentators" thread

"Diane Abbott Special Needs Abacus"

Never mind getting lambasted on Twitter, people using this type of grotesque hate-speak are short of a fucking good shoeing.

I Don't Know How She Does It!

Fuck that social-climbing bigot Allison Pearson.

how pundits can while their lives away debating online abuse in good faith without having an aneurysm is beyond me

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to witness those "fucking useless plotters" moderate cru, watching their plan completely unravel on election. Even more so than the Tories.

"..party staff who still expected a Tory landslide began to implement the Admiral Canaris-style coup to remove the Corbynator.."

*election night, I meant to say.

oh, owen paws...

Thanks to all across Belfast who welcomed me to the 12th celebrations yesterday. Well done to all who helped events pass off so peacefully.

Jesus. First ferry from Larne, get him out of there as quickly as possible.

no way they can clear that great repeal bill surely? must be counting on the calculation they'll stay safe as a govt due to the FTPA... a govt of no authority helmed by a leader of no authority tho...

I heard the cringe-worthy Robinson "grilling" of Blair earlier, him and Geldof should charter a boat or something.

Everyone's fave cartoon fascist Rees-Mogg has been back pedalling after it was revealed he was an after dinner speaker guest of the pro-Nazi Traditional Britain group.

apparently Hammond told a meeting, at which T May was present, that trains are so modern now that "even a woman can drive them"

i guess economies are so modern now that even a cro-magnon idiot can run them eh? or actually... maybe not

I assume Blair still has party membership and I'm not sure why he hasn't been expelled yet

I can see why even May put Spreadsheet Phil on ice during the election campaign, now.

Blair's word for maintaining the neolib consensus is "sensible politics". Does the pitiful motherfucker actually believe anyone is listening to him?

Progress couldn't even recruit enough members to take out Corbyn, so out of the way you irrelevant slimeball.

the casual way he conflates right-wing little-britain populism with corbyn's left-wing agenda (regardless of how poorly formulated or thought-through he thinks it is) is, i dunno, i guess i shouldn't be shocked, but it's like, why aren't you a lib-dem already?

"It is true that the country didn't vote for centrist politics on June 8; but neither was it on offer."

guys..... guys.... hi!..... guys hi..... it's us....... guys.... remember...... us..... the liberal democrats..... guys?..... guys?..... guys?! helloooooooooooooooo?! GUYS?!

thornberry rayner abbott corbyn burgon gardiner long-bailey etc

I'm getting it tattooed next to my lisbon lions 11 tat after the next election

I believe Little Timmy Farron, fellow believer, was offering Centrist pro-EU politics, how did that work out?

Blair's fanciful rhetoric that a combination of Brexit and a government with a left leaning manifesto would be a knockout blow for the economy, is classic Blairite style, authoritatively spoken bullshit. The economy might be heading for a knockout blow, but that and all the other social ills blighting this country r/n, are all on him and his "sensible" friends who have been running the show for the last 4 decades

word

meant to snigger yesterday about Farron's "I hate gay people more than I like being leader of the Lib Dems" comments, so while I'm on

as one of the borad's "brainy commies" (or whatever it was flopson called us*) the complete absence of mass respect for the actually existing centrist party in this country is a never-ending source of spiteful joy for me

(tiny uptick of forgiveness towards david steel for delivering the coup de grace to david owen's dreams of supremacy lol)

Philip Hammond has declared that public-sector workers are “overpaid" as a bitter cabinet war erupted over austerity https://t.co/vMKPAiSkg8 pic.twitter.com/m4oiOKa5xV

Are mps public sector workers?

jesus, when Hammond was a quieter minister you just didn't get to see what a complete .. erm, organ that he is. I know it is a simple case of Tory revealed as complete arsehole shocker, but jeez, cartoon bird really has profound depths of shitiness, that you might have thought he was to dull to possess.

I was zoning out during his Marr interview, but at one point he hand-waved away the sexism charges by reminding us he has two "high-achieving daughters".

Do you think Gove has essentially been given free reign to leak this stuff about Hammond now? Because that's definitely what's happening. Obviously the endgame is to replace him with a Brexit Chancellor but he can't last long under current circumstances. Then again nor can anyone.

it all seems quite desperate, even a having a Brexit chancellor isn't going to get that bill through parliament. I think Gove is trying hard to resurrect his political career after appearing on tv with the dead-eyed husk that is Ed Balls, recently. Fear of becoming like Ed Balls is the driving motivation/private dread for all politicians these days imo.

stephen bush is a national treasure and dan hodges is definitely not now a shrivelled corn

A tip: if you approached life with an intent to learn instead of to reply "False dichotomy. Yes or no." you'd be worthwhile.

Poor Glenda Jackson.

I blame the parents.

John McDonnell's "social murder" feels really important. Isn't it great they've amped it up when needed to?

The only answer to this is yes, yes it is.

Yes and after people like Nick Robinson repeatedly trying to dismiss this line, some people are agreeing and linking it correctly with Engels use of the same term. It needs amping up because apparently there is a phenomena known as "compassion fatigue" x0==

ugh.
