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

I can't imagine Cox in normal interaction mode but hopefully the wanker will just be a minor footnote in UK political history and have prefix "discraced" for the rest of his career - although a lucrative future in voice-over is assured

the 'parliament has not been prorogued' line from hale has this incredible spellcasting quality to it - waving my wand! zip! zoop! 'when the royal commissioners walked into the House of Lords it was as if they walked in with a blank sheet of paper'.. i mean, it's just amazing. she, or rather the law, can 1) go back in time 2) erase pieces of paper. though actually it didn't need to.. because it had been like that ALL THE TIME we just didn't know it. it's like the vision of god being in all places and in all times at once.

I mean The Law in the English tradition has always been about magic words, hasn't it?

including USA in this characterization obviously, like the advent of the SovCit/Freeman-on-the-land cultism is an outgrowth of the magicwordyness of it all

Lol fucking hell

At the beginning of his statement, Shapps appears to have followed Grayling’s text almost to the letter, simply substituting Thomas Cook for Monarch and adjusting numbers.

“With your permission, I would like to make a statement about the steps the government have been taking to support those affected by the collapse of Monarch Airlines Thomas Cook, in particular the 110,000 150,000 passengers left abroad without a flight back to the UK and the almost 2,0009,000 people who have lost their jobs.”

The Iran debate is predictably awful - including Raab brushing off a question about Trump’s role in escalation - but I definitely laughed when Graham Jones started a question with a big thing about how he’d just come back from KSA on a trip paid by them and hadn’t had a chance to declare it yet and...Bercow interrupted him to say that there was limited to time & hurry up and ask the question.

So Boris says, "Do Your Worst, Bring On The VONC", calls an election and wins it. Huzzah!

Boris has been reading this thread.

Nor is there any guarantee that he merely lurks.

pointless statement

Boris is so crap.

god I hate the sound of braying tory bastards

They actually applauded the lying sack of shit.

They actually applauded the lying sack of shit.

Why wouldn't they?

Have you never watched the House of Commons before?

Oh fuck, Jess Phillips, I'm out of here.

she'll want to outdo big Bazza who is the hero of the day (oddly for wetting his pants and getting pwned by Cox).

There ways Jess Phillips versus Alexandra Phillips FITE! in front of a reporter today, the only time I’ve ever wanted JP to backhand someone (AP said through interruptions that she was ‘trying to elucidate facts for your benefit’ or similar and JP got a ‘yeah right’ under that, so AP called her rude while aggressively pointing at JP).

A thread on the Jennifer Arcuri & Boris Johnson story & why it’s a bigger scandal than you think.

Where to start?

The press are reporting that she is a “business woman” or a “model”.

Wrong. When she met Boris Johnson, Jennifer had just....

Have you never watched the House of Commons before?

Yep, seen it a couple of times. Saw some people applauding a lying sack of shit

Yeah, you just did. You don't get applause in the House of Commons after statements to the House - especially not pisspoor ones.

No i didn't see this one, only read about it here! This was some other times, though maybe it was cheering not applause. Definitely a lying sack of shit was speaking though

I think a lot SNP MPs, new to the House, applauded a speech once and people were like, "What are they doing?"

I saw Matthew Parris interviewed earlier and he was adamant that it was this Jennifer Arcuri business that would be Boris' downfall not proroguing Parliament.

somebody just been sitting on this story for an opportune moment?

That Nicktolhurst link is truly shocking.

Yes, I still have the ability to be shocked.

Fucking hell

What a fucking disgrace Boris Johnson is. In response to a tearful Paula Sheriff speaking about her murdered friend, the prime minister replies that he has never heard ''such humbug'' in all his life. Shameful behaviour.

— Kirsty Strickland (@KirstyStricklan) September 25, 2019

Genuinely quite shocked by Boris Johnson describing as 'humbug' Paula Sheriff's complaint about his language in which she talked about Jo Cox and said that she and other colleagues had received death threats. I've transcribed what happened: pic.twitter.com/WNmiA893Qv

haven't seen a cunt on telly that needs decking as badly as this since ground force was on

yeah that is disgusting. unseriousness isn’t just unserious it’s deadly.

i can’t remember whether the technical term is psychopath or sociopath but this is in that territory.

he's just going to turn and turn the screws until the pressure in the system is unbearable

it’s psychopath i just checked.

Psychopathy is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.

I'm ok with everything but my word this attack on civility really is just too far

I'm happy sticking with sack of shit tbh.

yeah was going to say. no need to get fancy here

Good news is a whole succession of Labour female MPs are sticking the boot into the sack of shit - he must be hating it.

One of the posh comedians (Marcus Brigstocke, I think?) said he understood a certain tranche of Tories as being psychopathic because, like them, he'd been sent away at 8 to boarding school and had his heart broken too - which is why they're so dangerous.

And I know the Trump parallels are tedious but this does have the stink of ah, this will be the thing that gets him.

combination of you just love too see it and ah well nevertheless

labour will beat him on policy not shame

i mean i don’t want to just be retweeting here but holy mother of god:

Boris Johnson has just said MPs would help ensure their own personal safety by getting Brexit done.

“The best way to ensure that every Parliamentarian is properly safe and we dial down the current anxiety in this country is to get Brexit done”

— Ross Hawkins (@rosschawkins) September 25, 2019

hope he dies

fucking hell

if i were a labour politician hearing that i'd have attempted to endanger that bastard's safety forthwith

legitimate passions!

There are legitimate passions on all sides - but not even many Tory MPs mightl comfortable defending this- Johnson accused one of Jo Cox's friends and Parliamentary neighbours, one of many who's faced serious threats, of 'humbug' when she asked him to be careful with his words https://t.co/FMxQOisQHl

“tone” not “role”. new iphone swipe keyboard not working for me.

i think johnson will get crucified for this. and while the knee-jerk reaction is “but let’s face it it won’t make any difference” i’m not sure that’s the case.

yeah even Laura K sounded mildly censorious
