Manchester Central's MP said that pulling the conference would cost the city in the region of £30m. That's a lot of champagne and gak.

They’re surely going to be fucked out of venue costs and loads of nonrefundable stuff this close, no?

thing is i borrowed a fork off my neighbour explaining the situation and she said “sure here you go” rather than “come in and wait and eat your chinese”. so bins it is.

stephen bush restrained but that makes the anger at the end even more potent.


I don't often do pure opinion, but made an exception tonight. Boris Johnson knows exactly what he's doing and what the consequences of what he says might be: https://t.co/iSfhkxFCcn

Rare incident where I agree with John Woodcock

The problem is that the selective outrage mob want it exclusively their way. Honestly? It’s all unnecessary, and I wish it wasn’t a feature of politics. But the reality is that your type and many MPs have stoked this fire for years, and cry wolf when it becomes a two way street. https://t.co/d1077mHEsP

s.bush otm - whether it will work or not remains to be seen. we've seen how shamelessness and 'plaster-stripping' energised trump's base in the US. unfortunately for johnson, there is one set of pearl clutchers who this type of behaviour will definitely alienate: so-called moderate (i.e. socially liberal, economically-right leaning) 'cameroonian' voters in the home counties. he better hope dominic cummings is very good at counting

bush is such a fucking weirdo with his cameron fandom it puts me off reading recently him tbh!

Some MPs were in tears tonight, some walked out, some told me they feared they won’t be able to return home because of the language the PM is using, some told me abuse on twitter has already got worse tonight:https://t.co/yqv18iKsEG

My lovely generous-spirited True Blue Tory sister has just sent me the following message: “I have now given up watching the PM - he has behaved more revoltingly than one could believe possible. He is the nastiest man imaginable. I hope it rebounds on him. To bed in disgust.”

that review was interesting but weird. and as you say the “likability” at the end was weird. “can’t help but like him” just you try!

Lads, lads, we may as well give up now

I never thought I’d type these words. But if someone doesn’t get a grip of Boris Johnson and his No.10 operation I’m voting for Jeremy Corbyn.

He knows, too, that criticism of him in the organs of the press that really matter will be couched in the language of “both sides”, and that ultimately, whether it works out for him, politically, there will always be close protection officers.

he'll just continue doing this - ramping up the culture war with a bannon-style "let them call you racist, wear it as badge of honour" strategy. this could be effective if the opposition get sucked into the same 'sir have you no honour' trap the US democrats fell into - party needs to keep on hammering their transformative and inspiring policies

people will have a genuine choice at the next election. let's hope they don't choose the bunch of hard right head banging libertarian types with a prospectus for singapore-on-sea

It may seem astonishing that Labour could outpoll the Lib Dems by just 2pts and win 198 more seats.

But bear in mind that, in 1983, Labour won 26.8% in England. The SDP-Liberal Alliance won 26.4%.

Labour won 148 seats. The Alliance won 14.

yeah! eat them fucking stats Swinson LibDems with pretensions of majority government.

I think the referendum result has to be respected. But at any price? Literally nothing else matters? The rule of law. Basic decency towards the family and friends of a murdered MP. Respect for our fundamental principles and institutions. By any means necessary now?

xxp if you add the "coalition of chaos" seats from the SNP it looks a much more optimistic picture. Please please come to your senses and go back to voting for the tories Dan!

calzino, Wednesday, 25 September 2019 22:26 (four years ago) link

ordinarily him resigning in humiliation would be that but all the laws of political gravity seem to be in temporary suspension. could still be quite a dangerous moment for the opposition - presume he would lead CONs into imminent GE, standing on an “I tried I really did but these frustrated us at every turn / I am brexit 4real” platform. still don’t see how that builds enough of a coalition but haven’t looked at the numbers closely granted

it's very unsettling.

'today the vice president threw the minority leader through a table and fractured her collarbone'

'yes, but ACTUALLY, i know it seems dramatic but has anything actually CHANGED as a result of this?'

It's weird how little you hear 1922 getting mentioned during such dramatic events etc.
