i want an end to people with autism being sectioned and warehoused like animals. people with conditions like MS being put into private elderly care homes and left to rot. This is stuff much more important than brexit to me, and the longer it it is the main show the less chance of any important reforms. but this is my self-interest stuff, there is much more that needs fixing and won't be fixed until there is an end to austerity.

At the risk of stating the unfortunate obvious, Brexit will have a bearing on all that. It's not a sideshow.

yeah but the sensible moderates are not meaningfully opposed to austerity (apart from occasional weak lip service) - so here we are.

with all due respect i would suggest that any MP not currently convinced that Johnson has set the controls for the heart of The Sun may not be temperamentally ready for whatever struggle lies ahead
Yeah, I think they know that (or know that's he acting that way so well it might as well be genuine). I think what they're actually waiting (utterly in vain) for is their less swivel-eyed constituents to realise this might be madness and allow them to stop it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxp
― stet, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:49 (four years ago) link
Given that Johnson's Cabinet of all the headbangers could well have neutralised the ERG is it possible he's just trying to scare the EU into giving him a few face-saving changes to the WA and trying to scare Parliament into voting it through?
With a margin of one I don't think anything can be said to have neutralised the ERG. At least, anything that did would lose them Remainers.
Their rhetoric has ruined them here. Some form of undemocratic backstop is essentially unavoidable for the WA, so they can't have the WA. There is no Brexit left that can be delivered, is there? For those who understand that No Deal is bad not good, the only escape left is brinksmanship and making it Someone Else's Fault.

Why is Corbyn inciting hatred of the wealthy? I guess it’s consistent with his hatred of Jews. The wealthy pay far more tax and create more jobs than his tribe, so should be celebrated and cherished, not derided. Wealth should be a protected characteristic. https://t.co/YJIylaCC4S— Sol 🇬🇧 (@SolWpolski) August 5, 2019

This is the rub, innit? A large part of the Tory membership are apparently mad-keen-can't-wait for this (I don't know how much the repeated drumbeat of 'no deal is better than a bad deal' helped this along); a hard-to-size percentage of Tory MPs are quite genuinely into it, a harder-to-size-but-feels-like-larger-still percentage know it is mad but are posturing anyway for perceived gain ... and they're all utterly critical because there's no majority. There's a shit version of the trolley problem to be had here.
