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

Likewise, good luck LBI.

Is it possible there is no real breakthrough and Varadkar is just smart enough to know not to feed the Boris Johnson Victimhood Complex?

From what little I can tell, it seems like Varadkar has them heading to a NI-only backstop, and making returning to the EU's original position appear like a concession. When of course the backstop was the one genuine UK win during the negotiations.

Thanks guys <3 Very much the wrong thread for this, am duly aware. It's just... maddening.

It's a good thread for it, mate.

Talk about anything you want to here.

Who knew 'pathway' was the secret code word needed to have optimism surging, flowers blooming and world peace.

Not just any old pathway though, the pathway to the tunnel.

<3 LBI, I hope your friends are safe.

^this

thanks guys <3

Vent all you want, sending you good karma

That is fucking appalling and I can't even imagine

damn, LBI, what a terrible situation. sending you and your friends all the best

Karma dictates that Trump should choke on a burger forthwith and be reincarnated as a defenceless refugee with full cognizance of what he was in his previous life.

just been listening to the World Service reports

so fucking angry

<3 LBI

To think that the quest for world peace was an honest-to-god factor for a certain breed of Trump voters.

Fucking hell:

Diplomatic sources confirm that EU ambassadors have given the green light for deeper negotiations on a Brexit deal to commence

Deeper negotiations = slow news Friday, gotta ramp it up a bit otherwise we will all fall asleep at our desks.

omg statecraft ledg Johnson pulls rabbit-like deal out of gold top hat

So who's getting screwed over here, the DUP or everyone else in Northern Ireland who is not the DUP?

probably a bit of both in the long term but the DUP are surely meaningless to any chance Johnson has of getting a deal thru Parliament at this stage

"getting a deal thru Parliament" contains an awful lot of heuristic possibilities. extension + a "my deal or no deal" election with the potential to win him enough seats to get a renegotiated WA thru?

he might need the DUP at a later date, but it's not like if he screws them over they'll get revenge by letting some IRA fans into the corridors of power!

I honestly wouldn't anything past that shower of hateful counts.

... spot the spelling mistake.

Worth also remembering that Boris Johnson resigned from Theresa May's Cabinet in protest at the Chequers proposal, which included an NCP-type dual customs regime.

— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) October 11, 2019

this dual customs regime sounds like the compromise that has got both sides excited - yeah same one May proposed and he resigned over - hell of a drug is facing reality without empty hubris. It makes me wonder if Cummings is still running shit, there was something I read the other day suggesting one of the previous SPAD-u-hates Boris used is back behind the scenes.

i know he's just getting into this ugly business of electoral politics - but where does it end?

where it always ends: week 4 of Strictly

tbf if you play footage of Iraqi civilians being murdered in their homes by drone strikes backwards, it looks like they are being saved and having their homes rebuilt by benevolent forces.

Billy Pilgrim for SecDef

if he's really become unstuck in time he can kill hitler tell me tomorrows lottery numbers

whole episode is a continuation of one of the key failings of JC/JM - far too nice to people who would kick them in the eye given half the chance

yeah, they will still be undermining them at every turn

JMc seems to be more of a politician than Corbyn. Cant help but wonder if he is vying for the top job sometimes.

he had a heart attack a few years ago
