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

Is that Teflon 2.0 working well for Osborne? I mean he doesn't even need to take any flak for the working tax credit cuts he sown into UC, his intraparty enemies are taking it all, while he takes hypocritical potshots from the safety of his ES office. It isn't really teflon, it's just that most moderates couldn't give much of a fuck about working poverty imo.

I totally misread the colour scheme on that map. Fuck's sake, why is more investment in people marked red?

ha yeah! It doesn't seem very intuitive colour scheming. Newquay and Wales are brexit voting places with most EU gruel to lose.

investment in people is the eu's biggest problem

that movie looks ace mark

it's terrific

Wasn't there going to be a Farage/Brexit feelgood movie at some point? Like a very bad Went The Day Well? remake, by Guy Ritchie or something.

many xps Osborne's not coming back, he's done as a politician. More likely to be on celebrity big brother than return to the house of commons.

So, er, maybe not that unlikely. Has he done Strictly Dancing yet?

i know he's not actually proofing the crossword, but being editor of a large-circulation london-based newspaper probably does take up quite a lot of his day (plus he's very obviously enjoying himself)

Fuckin Bexley News Shopper

Convenient that Greece has been left off that map.

Osborne's not coming back, he's done as a politician.

Oh, I definitely think he'll be back. The fucker is still only 46 years old, for a start.

His entire project at the Standard is trying to force through the conditions for his return to Westminster (pretty much destroying May and the group around her) but I dunno, I just think his ship has sailed. The climate for his kind of politics just doesn't exist any more, even if he could somehow rewind the Conservative Party to 2007 or even 2010 that wouldn't make him any more palatable to the wider electorate.

when are you going into politics btw

A bit like David Miliband, Osborne probably thinks he's Achilles sulking in his tent, when in fact he's... just some wasteman

tbf

What did Gove do this morning?

Found it

Tory MP Michael Gove has been accused of "trivialising sexual assault" after comments he made comparing a tough radio interview to going into Harvey Weinstein's bedroom.

The Cabinet minister joined the BBC's flagship Radio 4 Today programme for a special edition marking its 60th anniversary.

Speaking to presenter John Humphrys on Saturday morning, Mr Gove said: "Sometimes I think coming into the studio with you John is a bit like going into Harvey Weinstein’s bedroom – you hope to emerge with your dignity intact”.

made a weinstein joke on the toady programme

nubile young lady

like some sort of sentient pustule

Now imagine if a Labour MP, let alone minister, had done the same: thinkpieces about the endemic problem of misogyny in the Labour Party; scripted jibes woodenly delivered by May at PMQs; Dimbleby, "And our first question tonight is from...".

There wasn't any outrage from the audience when Gove made the Weinstein joke either, they must have been Dominic Holland fans i.e. "big laughers".

Wait, the Toady programme doesn't have a studio audience.

It wasn't like a regular weekday Today program, there was deffo an audience + laughter when I heard it this morning. I was half asleep tho.

you've internalised a laugh track. a sinister new mutation of tinnitus

As some laughter and applause was heard from the audience at Wigmore Hall in central London, Mr Kinnock added: "John goes way past groping."

nope, I'm not making it up.

that is some wack banter from the today lads

Gove + Kinnock jr, what a tag team.

Which kinnock is that?

Gove: shit, i fucked up, told a sexual harrassment joek on the radio

Kinnock: hold my beer

kinnock SR.

oh, my mistake.

The today programme live from wembley stadium

Gonna be funny seeing Kinnock trying to use the George HW Bush defence

the swagger of james naughtie

The very idea that Tories dread getting into a room with rude + dim Tory Humphrys absolutely beggars belief to start with. Preparing for a Mair grilling is the one where they are liable to soil themselves.

> It wasn't like a regular weekday Today program, there was deffo an audience

60th anniversary today.

Tbf, no-one is negging on Kinnock (snr)

Yet, anyway

Also tbf, I thought Kinnock's 'joke' was worse, but then he didn't start it.

it was always burning since the world's been turning

The trash audience of fuckwitted chortling class arsewipes deserve negging as well imo. "Ho Ho Ho, Michael Gove just made the sexual harassment gag of season, my sides have split etc.."

political debate fans possibly the only scum more scum than pols

^ gets it

also ppl who 'love politics', all trash

I mean not that we need it but

Totally support Nusrat Ghani’s call for an urgent debate on misogyny by MPs. pic.twitter.com/cMzG6KvLY0
