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

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?!

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.

The face on your man at the back.

the face on your woman at the front

So David Davies held less than hour of talks before having to return to Westminster to vote on a Labour amendment about the amount of time allotted to backbenchers' legislation.

I can see the relevance of that but I doubt there is a single person in Parliament who genuinely believes that is more important, but it suggests that substantive Brexit negotiations are going to be severely hampered by having to prevent an embarrassing defeat on every piddling issue.

I can't think of many things more likely to enrage absolutely every point on the political spectrum.

... fixed

Fraser Nelson's claim (in the tweet that presumably replaces the one above that's gone now) is that this was only supposed to be an opening half-hour, shake hands for the photo-op. So the EU side bringing bulging folders is not cricket. Which just means that they're prepared and they know how to play an image - this'll go well.

These dickholes seem to think incompetence is somehow charming.

competence is for those dastardly pointy-heads in brussels, good old fashioned british pluck is all we need to get what we want #twoworldwarsandoneworldcup

little off-topic but the telegraph's dunkirk review has some stirring stuff along these lines

heart-hammering and heroically British, this is Christopher Nolan at the peak of his powers

But the questions it poses, about the actual substance and significance of the British ‘Dunkirk spirit’, both then and now, are asked in a spirit of total seriousness.

And Dunkirk is every inch a British film, with no detectable concessions to the international market.

Post brexit we need a cultural boycott of all world cinema apart from Nolan, Danny Boyle, Winterbottom, Britto Goebbels, Goebell McBritterson etc..

The fuck is a British film......snatch?

this is what I'm talking about!

Irony being that Brexit will leave us all stranded with no hope of rescue. Perhaps that's how Dunkirk should be read?

The fuck is a British film......snatch?

I think that if this event happened in 2017, there would be a lot of white flags to be seen on the beach.

Britain is now occupied by people who couldn't care less.

A different breed of people in perhaps less than 2 generations.

@Graham Watson

Not at all true.

The Referendum result of June 23rd 2016 was Britain's finest peacetime hour.

In the face of the relentlessly dire propaganda of Project Fear, Britain voted for Democracy and Freedom.

Now, of course, the cowardly creatures of Remain are trying to nullify that moment of national courage.
