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

Oh boohoo, Kwasi Kwarteng whimpering about personal attacks on Boris Johnson on Question Time, fucking unbelievable. Also, why am I watching this shite?

idk obviously you should be listening to the back half of Children of the World

fiona bruce doesn't know what labour's position is

the host of britain's foremost political programme, ladies & gentlemen

iunno because I don't get paid 300k+ to understand this stuff but I think if I did I'd maybe make an attempt to understand broadly what their position is

More convinced than ever that the Tories and the Brexit Party are planning some sort of electoral pact.

fiona bruce fuck off challenge

how much of a cretin do you have to be to make ian blackford seem sympathetic

Did Boris Johnson go to Wakefield just to mess with the SEO for Jacob Rees Mogg's Andrew Wakefield comparison?

the 'you're frit' line just doesn't work when the SNP are polling at 80+%

Yeah this is bad. (surprised they're programming Newsnight and QT at the same time)

They don't know or care about anything outside of England, you must know that.

(xp)

Kwarteng, LibDEms, Fiona Bruce, dumb fucking audience members - send them all into fucking space.

andrea jenkins falling apart on Newsnight was a treat tho

suzanne evans hasn't been on for a bit, funny that

Did Boris Johnson go to Wakefield just to mess with the SEO for Jacob Rees Mogg's Andrew Wakefield comparison?

it just takes five minutes of this shit to kneel down and thank the lord i don't believe in that we don't have a program like QT on. though i suspect we'll have our own dire version of it. vox-popping the ratings up.

the new newsnight NN logo is so clearly fascistic that you have to wonder why it wasn't flagged up. Maybe it was intentional.

fascistic still better than a hammer and sickle amirite

We know the production teams on NN and QT are fond of fascists, so why not have a logo to match?

howtf is this in london - QT audience commissioner has performed a worldy here. found every leaver in london

Bussed them in from every provincial shithole in England.

alison fuller pedley, that is...

fiona bruce just freely interrupting audience members now is it

m8 m8 m8 m8

Insisting she’s confused about Labour policy is just mind-numbingly disingenuous.

trolling?

wish it was. i'd send her straight to yr trolling thread, but she's just really not on.

Pointy mansplaining Brexit arse Richard Tice really likes getting in the space of women who contradict him.

Gossip note: he’s shagging the equally mendacious Brexit Party MEP Alexandra Phillips.

"Alexandra Phillips MEP
@BrexitAlex
Afrophile, Cruciverbalist, Advaitin, Brexiteer and Cat Lover with a passion for Formula 1 and Food. MEP for @brexitparty_uk
in the South East"

:-(

passion for Formula 1

massive red flag

xp as well as Isabel Oakeshott?!

I suggest Boris keeps Carrie close by.

Ah, either my source was confused between rancid, patronising blondes or two people going to the European Parliament in the same group have moved things on.

Oakeshott’s been pretty quiet lately, though.

Long may it continue.

MEANWHILE

The BBC is reporting that the Conservative government may put forward a vote of no confidence in itself

— Matthew Garrahan (@MattGarrahan) September 5, 2019

VONC yourself because you believe the other side can’t get a GNU and that delays royal ascent?

I’m no 9d chess player but if the conservatives do this I’d place a small bet that jo Swindon won’t join the GNU but Ken Clarke, Jo Johnson and Nicholas Soames will put Jefferey Cringingnut in Number 10 out of sheer devilment.

Daring the others to vote confidence in the government to prevent an early October election. Maybe opposition could abstain or pull that shitty teller trick

Actually that teller trick would work, wouldn’t it? It would pass by default

according to tonight's guardian editorial https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/05/the-guardian-view-on-boris-johnson-cunning-plan-winning-by-resigning

Mr Johnson could achieve the same by resigning and telling the Queen to send for Labour’s leader to replace him. The prime minister appears to favour this option because it might give him a poll, without a parliamentary vote, before 31 October.

Did Boris Johnson go to Wakefield just to mess with the SEO for Jacob Rees Mogg's Andrew Wakefield comparison

my febrile Brexit brain believes this, and that his studiedly awkward bus nonsense was too

He was up in the area though and in Morley and outwood (really marginal) and Wakefield itself is also pretty marginal and they’ve indicated they want to target Northern labour seats.

I think the last few days have established they’re as incompetent as they are malicious

JRM has apologised I see - obviously not going well with whoever this crowd actually listens to

Ed Balls lost Morley by about 200 iirc

Shd've danced harder

BJ's repeatedly referring to the SNP as "separatists" really does just make him look daft and unserious

JRM has apologised I see - obviously not going well with whoever this crowd actually listens to

can one climb down from a slouch

Props for Cummings from you? Really?
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Thursday, 5 September 2019 bookmarkflaglink

Yes, he is making Tories suffer. Cummings is like a consultant coming in and telling the CEO his modernisation involves making thousands redundant, and probably getting rid of management who aren't up to scratch. Tory cunts like Soames would be praising it, and instead are crying because it's happening to them. You gotta enjoy it on some level.

I'm enjoying it on many, many levels
