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

back here posting as i normally do

why does Boris, a repulsive man, fuck so much

— sirhan bee movie sirhan (@AliceAvizandum) September 25, 2019

a discussion worth a thread, a board even, of its own

(not restricted to Boris, obv)

In 1922 meeting there was a sombre moment when @PennyMordaunt told MPs she was with @BorisJohnson in 2016 when news came through that Jo Cox had died. She said 'Boris's reaction was so human'.
"It was a moving moment in there," one Tory MP says.

*vomit*

(he farted)

Sadness in his farts

Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader, tells the Commons that he never saw David Cameron use the sort of language Boris Johnson did yesterday.

He says talking about “surrender” implies we are at war with Europe. But we are not at war with Europe and we are not at war with each other, he says. He says this language is intended to cause division.

Some people say this strategy will work. I say this strategy will not work because the British people are better than this.

i wish i had ed's faith in the british people tbh

In the sense that most of their murderousness falls short of action Ed sort of otm

lmao at the guy in the latest john harris poverty safari vid - “do I have to pretend to be racist to get in your video john ?”

DA today interview was not good on immigration. funny because (usually well-sourced) s bush was saying he expected the leadership to adopt the policy in its entirety

It's aggravating, I guess the best hope is that they're prevaricating until the official line is nailed down

DA?

Diane Abbott

All the blue Labour types were angry about it yesterday & there’s not an insignificant amount of union leadership that won’t support it either.

Sabrina's response was the best to all this. It's long-term work.

Similarly unions are anxious about the 2030 green target and what that would mean for current jobs that don't comply with that target.

This is how Labour is changing.

Most Labour supporters are not as liberal as conference on this issue, so it's pretty understandable for the leadership to be, er, cautious. 60% of Labour voters supported the "hostile environment" ffs, even when the question called it that!

Polling done it the light of Windrush:
Where the public stands on immigration

I understand the need to sell it, as long a it isn't railroaded

Let’s pause to remember Brendan Cox has a few boundaries issues with women, too. In future we should probably seek comment from Jo’s sister, who stepped up to run the Jo Cox Foundation when he had to stand down.

Your demands have been met!

Cox's sister: A 'turning point'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-49837185

Kim keeps saying if there were more moderates in politics the world would be a better place, which is complete bollox imo

Just a couple of months before the referendum, Cameron was accusing Sadiq Khan of having shared a platform with an IS supporter so he knows a thing or two about inflammatory rhetoric.

So does Jess Phillips, of course.

Jess Phillips being called out on that remains one of my favourite political interviews of the last couple of years.

let us not forget that jo cox was also a legitimate-concernserist

I never do because where I live there are more quotes from her fucking speech on walls and signposts than there are from Jesus and Mohammed combined!

which interview, Matt?

A lot of pretend-shock about last night, allowing for a lot of scum to take the high ground.

And I really hate people saying and tweeting 'you are better than this' to people who are just utter garbage.

one thing grates with me with all that "more in common" flam is: how do tell some poor kid from Batley Carr who has one pair of shoes, no winter coat and whose mother has to queue at foodbanks that they much in common with the rest of the population. It's like gaslighting them and saying they don't live in abject poverty because everyone is middle class now...STFU!

I saw Angela Rayner tweeting 'you're better than this' to Piers Cnutgan and really Ange m8 no he is not. xps

Yvette Cooper was doing it to Julia Hartley-Brewer.

lol

@britainelects
Motion on a three-day Parliament recess so as to allow Conservative MPs to go to their Manchester conference:

Rejected.

xp lollllll

And yesterday on Newsnight you had Layla Moran saying it to Bernard Jenkin. Appealling to stuff that isn't there xps

Is this seriously something that matters considering the circumstances of her murder?

Anyone saying this?

the fantasy misrepresentation of Jo's legacy should not be considered sacrosanct. And the platitudinous drivel that pols talk is just that, it doesn't develop some special quality because they have been murdered.

Tell you what guys, there’s no need to split hairs over a female MP who was murdered in the street by a fucking Neo-Nazi as though any of her not-so-great political opinions mattered in that context.

MP tells me that Johnson had an
‘angry meltdown’ in voting lobbies. Am told that @jessphillips personally challenged him as did others . MP tells me PM saw a group watching through the doors & then started jabbing his finger towards us all
