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

Kwarteng is another one who's been found out - proving that having been at Eton and sounding like you've got a poker up your arse is not enough.

but i'll take it

Eton, Cambridge and Harvard and he doesn't seem to even know how to use the word "summary", or, for that matter, it's meaning?

The skill there, and it is a an important one to master if you want to be in this gov, is sayong he was surprised that tories could be Islamaphobes without throwing his hands up and going "well, of course they're fucking Islamaphobes, have you ever been to a party meeting, fucks sake..."

The comments under that tweet are beyond satire.

Unless you're planning to blow planes out of the sky, then I have no interest in you.

I don’t know whether Kwasi is still in a relationship with Amber Rudd, but he definitely was at one point.

Sometimes I wonder if the greatest gift to world peace would be a cure for male-pattern baldness.

Apparently it's Sir Mark Alexander Popham Carleton-Smith who is a member of the Chelsea Arts Club.

daniel sturridge has gone to brixton

Pretty big protest for St. Andrews today: mostly school kids rather than the students, but they looked well prepared and organised. I didn’t join them because I’d just got a pint and a dram, to my shame.

Sometimes a dram is needed more than a bit of the old drama

^^^ trenchant social commentary

Climate strike protest happening everywhere today. Is that what St Andrews protest ties in to?

Yes, it was just a part of that, I was just impressed by them, as someone who had the protest kicked out of him by the Iraqi war. One thing protests are useful for is that they stop you feeling so alone and powerless. I hope that these kids will get something out of it, and carry it on to their adulthood.

The folks with the loudspeakers, and the ostensible leaders, were all school kids.

properly big protest streaming through glasgow city centre rn

Local one had a good turn out too.

I'm not sure I buy Terri as FBPE but otherwise OTM.

Terri seems more like a decided-on-the-day 'it'll be fine, my parents went through far worse' Leaver if not Lexiter imo

I fully buy her as fbpe. Thinks of herself as nice and socially liberal, actually not so much in reality (see: her treatment of Robyn), loves the twee pastel aesthetic (wants to spend her redundancy on a tea shop in some deprived town), thinks of herself as loftily apolitical and doesn’t seem to have any particularly strong views on politics - def the type to be a radicalised remainer.

My main gripe with that thread is WHERE IS JAMIE

Fucking hell, was this real?!

Remember when Nick Hewer stared in a show called “We All Pay Your Benefits” where they made middle class people follow people on welfare around a supermarket putting back food from their trolleys that was “too much of a luxury” for them? lmao https://t.co/wpUglyJGZz

Love too add to the discourse by tipping a wink to the tabloid smearing of Corbyn as an enemy of the state, the rationale of which makes him a legitimate target to the fash & sympathisers.

finally some good news

BREAKING: Labour NEC passed a motion tonight put forward by Jon Lansman to abolish the post of Deputy Leader - i.e. Tom Watson’s role.

oh ffs! naturally the first person the beeb is talking to is fucking Streeting

fuck your "doorstep test" you fucking worthless melt!

is the doorstep test

"has person X on the doorstep heard of tom watson?" no
"does person X on the doorstep care about this inside baseball nonsense?" also no

he made his position untenable with an election coming up. best news in years is this.

I mean, if they really wanted to whack him, they’d mention his part in the ‘Nick’ case.

Tom Watson: “I got a text message in a Chinese restaurant saying they were abolishing me.
It’s a straight sectarian attack on a broad church party. It’s turning us into an institution where pluralism isn’t tolerated.” #today

have you tried talking about it to someone other than the press, tom?

Some extraordinary passages in Cameron’s book. Imagine the cringe factor of this: he tried to deliver a presentation to Angela Merkel in German, despite the fact that he could "barely speak a word of the language". pic.twitter.com/qzd2rbpqLa
