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

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the full legalese but isn't the gov's lawyer arguing that Johnson might have prorogued for his own nefarious ends but that's fine because that's up to the government and boo ya sux?

If this is the case whu didn't Johnson just say that in rhe first place instead of bullshiting...oh, wait yeah, answered my own question there.

That's exactly what he's doing and that's why they won the case in the English courts.

I had to read about where this “crombyn will be neutral in a second ref!!!1” shite came from and, what a surprise, it’s yet more shithousery from the worst morons in the country.

Those same ppl would hate on him if he joined them on the campaign anyway.

if only there was a neat catchphrase that would sum up my feelings towards these videos

was the guardian just making stuff up ? I haven’t read JC’s article yet - just their reporting on it

sad news everybody

don't really expect any better from the denizens of West Bromwich i guess

xp no it’s in his own words - but since Cromblyn has previously said “I will vote and campaign for remain” several times, this article is clearly a reversal of this position because it doesn’t reiterate this 50 times and it’s not decorated with EU flag emojis

This is good

guy in the pub, probably old school Labour, pretty reactionary, very Brexity, was praising the plans for private schools at the weekend. next election is gonna be complicated

i look forward to seeing some piss-funny articles from Spectator hacks about how public schools serve social mobility, actually

hard lol at mumbling low-energy boris protesting that there are no cameras here right in front of the cameras

plenty of time left to get your head around this boris, no rush

Boris Johnson expressed surprise to his advisers during lunch with Jean-Claude Juncker as he was informed about the scale of checks still needed on the island of Ireland under his alternative plan for the Irish border, according to EU sources.

The two-hour lunch in Luxembourg was said by both sides to have been “positive” but EU officials conceded the advantage for them had been in being able to spell out the problems directly to the prime minister. “It seems to have helped the penny drop,” said one diplomatic source.

During talks with Juncker and the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, the prime minister was shown in detail how allowing Northern Ireland to stick to common EU rules on food and livestock, known as sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS), would still fail to avoid checks on the vast majority of goods that cross the Irish border.

but the high tech solutions?

Don't let the act full you, in reality he is hyper intelligent.

feigning surprise and playing dumb probably is part of his sneaky as fuck MO

Re that clip posted upthread

The parent of a sick child claimed the NHS was being destroyed as he challenged Boris Johnson during a hospital visit. As the Press Association reports, Johnson was confronted by the angry parent, who claimed there were not enough doctors and nurses. In a conversation lasting around two minutes, the man said the situation was “not acceptable”. Johnson was visiting Whipps Cross university hospital in north-east London when he was challenged by the parent on a children’s ward. The parent said the situation was “not acceptable” and told the prime minister:
There are not enough people on this ward, there are not enough doctors, there’s not enough nurses, it’s not well organised enough. The NHS has been destroyed … and now you come here for a press opportunity.”

Johnson said: “There’s no press here” but the parent gestured to cameras filming the confrontation, and said: “What do you mean there’s no press here, who are these people?”

Nice.

Good stuff.

genuine hero, that guy

he's going have to learn to be more low key in his campaigning photo ops like May was. It's becoming quite obvious that vast swathes of the UK electorate/gbp (well Morley, Doncaster, Wakefield, NE London so far) fucking despise the cunt and his party.

tbf the NHS was being destroyed well before the Tories/austerity took over

my wife was in that same hospital with TB in 2008, it was shit then too. no nurses then either. she used to take her own drips out when they were done because no nurses would come if she pressed the buzzer. New Labour played their part in this

although as I've gone into in far too much detail elsewhere, the NHS is a complete disaster area nowadays, literally every part of it is fucked, at least where I live

good thing we can use that weekly £350m we'll be saving from the eu to give us the health service we deserve post-brexit

What a cool and normal thing to say (now deleted)

at the weekend I was chatting to a friend who's gone from working for a charity that won govt contracts for health/social work to working directly for the NHS and she cannot believe how slow and useless everything is and is going to leave in a few months when her contract's up. hard to know where to start

Would say NHS major problems date back to creation of internal market in 1990, though ofc blair did nothing to reverse the slide

It's great that after a decade of this shit it is getting extremely difficult for a Con leader to turn up anywhere without getting yelled at by angry citizens. McD got into trouble for saying he wanted it to be difficult for these cunts to walk the streets for their crimes against the people - it took long enough but it's happening!

the people's champion mcd vindicated yet again

according to D Edgerton, Blair accelerated the PFIing of NHS to levels that Major thought would get a Conservative government into deep trouble with the electorate.

The gutter press have doxxed the Boris heckler.

of course they have

say what you like about the heckler but at least we know for sure how many kids he's got, unlike the fucking prime minister

in a sense we are all his kids

and he's dropping us all off at the pool

The gutter press have doxxed the Boris heckler.

this fuckin' guy deliberately planned to have a sick kid just days before the prime minister would visit the hospital in which she was born in order to stage a publicity stunt during boris' perfectly innocent attempt to learn more about the nhs while being respectfully observed by the media

is there no low to which corbyn's deranged acolytes will not sink

Is this the same press that got angry at ppl for objecting to David Cameron’s expressions of grief about his sick child?

Has he had a single successful walkabout yet? If the campaign is like this it's going to be amazing

Laura now in it.

given the UK press's unswerving commitment to truth and transparency you can see how they would resent being manipulated by a political propagandist

"afaict he openly responded himself to the original mirror tweet, so in this particular case less doxxing, more gutter press ascribing deliberately problematising “man with sick kid also a labour activist.”"

Right, don't know the exact timeline but I first saw Gu*do on it.

i was gonna make a joke about his name being Omar but jesus do NOT read the comments

I don’t like her insinuation that he’s disqualified from commenting because he worked for Emily Thornberry ten years ago. LK’s rapport with BJ is also a lil bit barf-in-my-mouth, actually- what’s up with the mateyness?

Has he had a single successful walkabout yet? If the campaign is like this it's going to be amazing

Why has no-one milkshaked him yet, what is wrong with this country?
