the May deal dies its last death and a set of reality-deniers get to try it all over again.

xps yes for the others, with Boris there's a 50/50 chance that he sticks a sprig of parsley on it and calls it The Great British Bulldog Deal, he'll do that thing where he waves his jowls and spittle goes everywhere, it'll be great.

Don't think they'll VONC a new leader this year. Those principled Remain Tories will fold like steel in burning jet fuel

the latest thing I saw (before these votes so there are probably some hot new takes already) is that Rory wasn't trying to win, just show that he's an adult ready for next time to clean up after any Boris-induced mess
and if that is his thinking, well, that means he isn't going to do anything to stop Boris making a mess, no? def no resigning the whip, prob still no voting to stop No Deal, only VONCing if sure it won't go through - do the bare minimum to keep the "finally a sensible Tory" murmurs going but the bigger the mess, the more chance he must see of capitalising on it
tears will ensue, excuses will be made (again), etc

Kwasi Kwarteng's defence of Boris against accusations of racism seems to be that he's been accused of that before - like there's some sort of statute of limitations in operation or a limit on the number of times you can criticize someone on the same subject.

Hunt started as Remainer then went crazy for the Brexit. Maybe Gove's crossed him going the other direction, I've lost track.
― Alba, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:35 (four years ago) link
Sajid Javid voted Remain.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link
Ha, yes I'd forgotten that. What a world.

He's relying on everyone else forgetting about it.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:59 (four years ago) link
Kwasi Kwarteng's main responsibility seems to be appearing on C4 News, sighing and saying "Look..." in a condescending manner in defence of whatever shit his leader/future leader is up to.

Really, Tom?Last week he was pretty damning. Spoiled paper sounds about right.
On Boris Johnson, Clarke is withering in a way that borders on contempt. He says he was a “disaster” as foreign secretary, and when asked if he could be equally terrible as prime minister, he answers in an instant. “Yes, he certainly has the potential to be. Unless he suddenly starts taking it seriously. I am not sure he knows what he would do to get us through the crisis.
― Alba, Thursday, 20 June 2019 15:20 (four years ago) link
Yes, really.

when boris is anointed and calls a snap GE with BP standing aside to give the CON’s a free run... do we reckon CONs win that election? or are they losing from column B (social liberals who leak to LDs) what they pick up in column A (hard case BP wingnuts)... and thus being hurt in the marginals required for success?

"one helluva finale"
40 minutes to go in the final ballot, and it’s one helluva finale. Senior Gove team source says they’re confident they have half of Sajid’s backers, with most others going to Boris: “Hunt only beats us now if Boris lends him votes, and that’s a really bad look”.— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) June 20, 2019
