Silby yeah that's a big chunk of it, but also May was trying - badly, but still - to get a deal voted thru, and Johnson is not.

TM was also having to turn a blind eye to rebels because of the numbers whereas BJ just deselected them all and is getting lots of grief from the One Nation type, esp those whoâve ignored their former principles to serve in his cabinet.

is that One Nation or Onanate Nation that Mr jerk at work represents? There really hasn't been One Nation Tories since the early 70's - they just try and keep it more polite whilst they murder the disabled and further impoverish the working poor.

so... is his only play (short of resignation) to bring back mayâs deal and force people to vote for it at threat of no deal ? some suggestion he canât go for no deal now because he would be pursued in the courts - but... would that not take time ?

I enjoyed this bit about the demise of toryism and James butler is one of the more readable pundits despite the overly present i-went-to-oxford-isms (I don't know if he really went to Oxford, but it's a style of writing)

The weird âgirly swotâ jibe reminds me of this:
The relationship with Cameron today is said by friends of the mayor to be in âreally goodâ shape in spite of the public sniping and clear rivalry between the two. Johnson, three years senior to Cameron, still harks back to their days at Eton when he was elected to Pop, the school prefects, whose members are elected by incumbent prefects in the year above, and Cameron was not. At a recent Pop reunion, Johnson entered the room with his hand on brow as if searching for the prime minister and calling: âWhereâs Dave?â

Xp What a feckin eejit. One of the born to rule corollaries that the great unwashed of this country never seem to consider is how these twits are all essentially children for whom this is all a consequence-free game. These are the most irresponsible, feckless know nothings imaginable. They know nothing about the world they presume to govern. They know little of the cause and effect principle that children learn in the cot because nothing they do is, for them, irrevocable. Is this generation currently strutting the boards worse than ever on this front? (A quick glance at Churchill say suggests not) the ever more present cameras reveal a class of people who are supremely juvenile. I hate knowing about their silly little childish games. For most of us those are just the things we have to just get over, it sickens me that their little mirror-stage egos and playground dramas are structuring the very real political and social realities we have to fucking live in.

the one redeeming thing about may being that she was never part of that and did seem to act as though her role actually meant something other than just the opportunity to lord it over everyone else

The big David runciman piece on her from the lrb a couple of years ago got her very right I think. Her pettiness distinguishes itself from bullingdon self-regard but in some respects is an extension on it (CF her delight in firing Osborne)

Do people really, really think this is how the Royal ascent (sic) thing works? I knew this whole universal suffrage malarky would bite us in the arse eventually.
Cummings is ten steps ahead of them I reckon .

I mean she doesn't even ACTUALLY give her assent. She's not sitting in Buck house waiting for a piece of paper. I know I shouldn't be because as as been discussed elsewhere here, the teaching of "civics" is patchy at best in the UK, but I am shocked anyone thinks the Queen is actually physically involved in any of this.

xp Ah, I see the Express has a headline "No deal Brexit bill PASSED: Only Queen can save no deal now -Could she block royal assent?" and although the article makes it clear she can't I suppose this is enough to give succour to some of Her Maj's intellectually challenged constituents.

BG, you may not know I turned up for my first day of school in a wig because chemotherapy and radiation zapped my hair off as part of very aggressive treatment for childhood cancer. I also get huge survivorâs guilt when friends and loved ones arenât so lucky. Now that you do, maybe my gallows humour has an appreciable context.
― coup de twat (suzy), Friday, 6 September 2019 20:34 (four years ago) link
sometimes we need awkward gallows humour - and different rules should apply to the powerful elites that don't care if we live or die by their policies. Although there was a poor young lad at my school with alopecia who used to get called Leukaemia Skywalker - that was shit.

The hounding of Boris Johnson is ugly, ugly stuff. He could eat a sandwich and Remainers would probably find a picture of Mussolini eating a sandwich to make a comparison.
