Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

this one isn't that old and i don't think we should frame our narrative around the soon-to-be-briefly-incumbent

Boris Johnson is widely expected to be crowned new Tory Party leader later this morning

from Newsnow - the news aggregation site that isn't quite sure what a constitutional monarchy is.

PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

I am sure this will get renewed for another season. What are the current odd on the uk still being in the EU at Christmas?

It's quite likely, yes. I'm just measurelessly irritated at the prospect of Johnson's Trumpster bluff 'working' on the EU. Having to pretend that you're suspending disbelief when faced with such a coleus (get it? it's Latin) is a humiliating chore.

Possibly the only Labour seat the Lib Dems might be able to realistically take from them is Alex Sobel's. Maaaybe a couple in London (lol Hoey).

I suspect that post-Hoey relief might give Labour a little electoral oomph next-time-around but on the other hand (1) Vauxhall must be rapidly shifting demographically (those towers can't be entirely vacant money-laundering vehicles, right?) and (2) in any case middle-aged gays are the worst possible arch-neoliberals and, as my fieldword at the RVT indicates, not all that bright.

Fresh from making Ian Austin a Trade Envoy to Israel, May has just appointed John Mann as "independent advisor on antisemitism". Audacious trolling on your last day.

scruton just got re-hired as well right?
