It’s back to the seventies with Theresa May

delicious

is jonathan pie our answer to chapo trap house or something

The Mail On Sunday dedicates 80% of the front page to suggesting Johnson is mounting a leadership campaign and the remaining 20% to an offer for a free head massager, which seems about right.

Jonathan Pie is our answer to an excruciatingly unfunny twat

b) they're about to crash headlong into a demographic ravine without a major change in direction.

The thing about young people is they become old people.

the thing about these young people is that there old age is not set to resemble that of our current set of old people

i love a good donnybrook

a fight to the death

As young people grow old there will always be a tendency to believe that the world is going the wrong direction and that our downward spiral should be arrested or reversed, if only because youth are more naturally optimistic and forward-looking than they will be later on, as their fondest hopes fade and their health deteriorates. This is not fated, but the way that humans are put together favors this outcome over the next most common alternative of growing more contented with the world and being filled with admiration for the next generation coming up.

makes u think

At first, news of a hung parliament during England’s election of prime minister doesn’t concern Yon, but as the night unfolds, things start to get a little weird. Suddenly, the citizens of England appear to have lost all decision-making power, wandering the streets unsure of what to do or where to go as the curse of the hung parliament befalls them.

LOL.
like I thought that was going to mean it was the Northern irish Daily Mash or something.

The Sun cover today read "she's had her chips" with that picture of her eating some chips with a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.

Seemed like they'd turned on her already

Richard Burgon has said that Labour gained 150000 new members in the last 3 days taking membership up to 800000.

I was thinking when membership goes beyond a million, maybe cries of "entryism" must surely become redundant. Well apart from withing the lunatic centrist fringe of the party :p

the thing about these young people is that there old age is not set to resemble that of our current set of old people

^ ^ ^

I remember when McDonnell promised a million members last year I flatly did not believe it. When was the last time it passed a million? Must be the 50s. Blair peaked at 400k, I think.

Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Tory leader, expressed concern at the weekend over the impact of a DUP deal on gay rights and other issues.

But one DUP source said: “Someone is stirring the pot with Ruth, who we regard as a hero of the union.”

*boak*

The Conservatives' habit of blowing things up and then insisting that only they can restore stability is starting to grate slightly

xxp 52 according to wikipedia, if 800k is right then already the largest since 64. Legit teared up this morning thinking about the real possibility of a labour majority.

Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 45% (+5)
CON: 39% (-3)
LDEM: 7% (-)
UKIP: 3% (+1)

I too was expecting a cheap unfunny ripoff of Portadown News (RIP) but I guess life itself is a cheap unfunny ripoff of satire now (and maybe always)

John Gapper otm

Turns out the answer ton the wave of right wing populism was just to wait for them to fuck it up themselves through eye-popping stupidity and arrogance

LOL @ the DUP being the moderating influence on May's goverment (xxxp)

BREAK: DUP has NOT yet reached any agreement with the Tories. Sky sources: Downing Street issued the wrong statement in error.

This grinning must stop

This sniggering is in no way constructive

This is reminding me of when Rangers were going through their administration troubles (appropriately enough given the involvement of the DUP) when every single news story was like a little ray of sunshine in your life.

North is very interesting ATM

Paisley and McGuinness dead. No working relationship between their replacements, and everything soured quite badly on foot of a bitter recent election that leaves things very close to split right down the middle, a situation that Unionists will be very uncomfortable with across the full range of that sect, from minister to orangeman to demobbed uvf to PSNI rank and file (assuming of course that you aren't all four of the above)

Brexit held -in buzz terms at least- the prospect of a closer all-ireland relationship as all sides wish to avoid full border, tensions surrounding this as SF and no few wags on our side of things obviously treat it as bringing a 32 county nation inevitably closer. Complex.

We frankly coulda done without Foster getting a blank check, as the balance was already quite fraught and not many who've observed her performance so far would trust her not to injudiciously apply any extra powers she might wring from this.

I can't believe the Shinners are still persisting with that abstentionism garbage in the year 2017 tbh.

What is this, 1972?

For a gang a fellas that torture and execute widows with ten kids they sure are very fucking proud of their oaths tho but

You get banned from boards.ie for saying shit like that fyi

Harshes ppls mellow tbf

Downing Street issued the wrong statement in error

ok I take back the unfunny part, this week has been fucking hilarious tbf

Ha, they don't have a single MP with a positive score:

lol Gove's figures

Should've included may out of respect

car crash fallon on marr. "with our friends in the DUP..."

earlier on Toby Young got schooled on the impossibility of a hard Brexit now by Gideon. TY is such a loathsome little shit he even makes Gideon seem like a human being.

i was slightly concerned for myself by enjoying GO's commentary on election night :/

A real 'kicker conspiracy' night for Osborne.

Peter Hyman (you'd be forgiven for thinking 'who?')

“If you think the Tory majority was only small and May fought a terrible campaign, this should have been an election that Labour won. It is like a football match where you are 5-0 down, you claw it back to 5-4 and claim you won the cup. Well we haven’t won the cup. We have done better than expected, but we are not in power. None of the policies that people want from that manifesto are going to be implemented.”
