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

It's not getting through Parliament without the DUP and I don't think there are enough Labour MPs willing to risk losing the whip for something that's obviously DOA.

Great news for Ellman's constituents at the new hard border.

thrilled to be alive three years after the referendum in a country hurtling towards a vitally important deadline and we still haven't got a fucking clue what's going on

Sub-normals? That's nice.

Junckers and Johnson have both announced it as a done deal - but it seems they did so without telling Sammy Wilson first.

This is a good point but yeah only a bunch Kinnocks can get this deal through:

Counterintuitive though it may seem, Johnson pissing away his majority through expulsions means the DUP have less leverage over Brexit than they did. Johnson needs to find votes from across the house.

ah, different telegraph. *nevertheless*

and xyz otm about switching phone off for a couple of hours. (should have done it for three years.)

still hard to see how this doesn’t breach DUP and crucially DUP supporters’ red lines, and without them hard to see where the numbers come from.

Seems like the deal is not really meant to be passed but is to be a election campaign plank less toxic than “vote for us for no deal”

I expect all the purged Tories who haven't joined other parties to vote for it, that'll bump the numbers up.

"Calling them pieces of shit seems, erm, unnecessary."

so you are saying people can't express contempt for duplicitous right wing Labour politicians that use Guido Fawkes to slur anyone on the left, and yes her voting record is wretched. And I don't really care what you think after reading your indecipherable nonsense on YouGov yesterday.

I expect all the purged Tories who haven't joined other parties to vote for it, that'll bump the numbers up.

Yeah they'll vote it and swiftly be allowed back in. Meanwhile Labour lose a few more like Ellman.

gotta purge 'em all

This is a summary of her voting record

Louise Ellman thought being a Labour MP meant voting for at least two bloody, pointless wars, voting to create privately run prisons for migrants, voting for economically illiterate PFI schemes, voting for Atos to supervise the disabled . She may have poor judgement.

she seems nice

cracking lass if you are a billionaire who owns one of the PFI behemoths, not so good if you are disabled or poor.

Suggestion is the EU will help Boris out by saying it's this deal or no deal. Helping out their fellow right wing arsehole there.

look lads as Nelson Muntz once pointed out you've gotta nuke something

except parliament has legislated to oblige BJ to avoid no deal so the EU can fuck off, unless they’re saying they won’t extend

Didn't they say that about the May deal as well?

Probably!

Consistently

Kinda painful to admit that the clown Johnson was in some small way right

Lol BBC News using their best wicked witch picture of Arlene

I note with a sad roll of my eyes that Hard Left Brexiteer Trot Crumbum has described this new deal as "shit"

How many hours/wads of cash before the DUP caves?

Ooh Jo Swindon just described the deal as "fucking shit"

Is it established this is May's deal only worse for UK or at least NI? It gets Johnson hailed as statecraft legend by the media sewer for a while regardless.

surely there's no way he'll agree to Referendum 2: Gammon Boogaloo just to get the deal thru?

lol

Good thread with insights into XR:

The last time I did a thread about an XR action in my city being terrible for disabled people, I got a lot of abuse, but also several nice people telling me in good faith to try engaging with them.

And I don't really care what you think after reading your indecipherable nonsense on YouGov yesterday.

Well you could have told me this yesterday instead of letting me go on and on. Jeez.

How many hours/wads of cash before the DUP caves?

The Tories throwing the DUP under a bus after using them to stay in office since the election is fucking funny, I must admit.

Of course.

Nigel Farage backs extension and a general election over PM’s deal

haha some energy that

lol at nigel's butthurt

he's banging on about fishing rights (fuck off fishermen - you fucked yourselves) and then accusing boris of potentially committing that worst possible crime in polite brexiter society .. surrender!

won't be saying which seat he will contest in the GE he wants tho - log off coward

Boris's seat or gtf.

A lot of People's Vote tears.

Securing a compromise Brexit deal is a major negotiating achievement for Boris Johnson. I congratulate him. I seem to remember him saying the Benn Act would stop the EU making the necessary concessions. He was wrong about that. In fact it helped bring Brexiteers to their senses.

— Nick Boles MP (@NickBoles) October 17, 2019

this guy made one of the most bafflingly ignorant documentaries (for a supposedly highly educated person)... so am not surprised by this

God, I miss the days when I didn't know who the DUP were and what they stood for

— Sathnam Sanghera (@Sathnam) October 17, 2019

ahh, those sunny uplands where i was more stupid and more happy, how i wish i could return

When you think you're saying one thing but you're really saying "I'm a cock"

Yes, in the country I'm from there was, in my lifetime, a 40 year conflict where 3000 people died and I'm proud of the fact I know nothing about it.

... 30 years, I mean, lol.

@lucianaberger
13h
Please don’t tweet about how upsetting/awful it is that Dame @LouiseEllman and I have left @UKLabour

Cool. Will do.

OK the tweet continues admittedly but no need to see the rest really.

Sathnam Sanghera was the one who ran that dramatic recitation of Rivers of Blood, wasn’t he? Given old Enoch was an MP in NI at some point, you might think he’d know something.

Question: Could Corbyn trade an agreement that future trade agreements would be put to parliament, in exchange for voting for deal?

ffs this shitlord

@PARLYapp
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
confirms on Saturday the PM will make a statement and MPs will then debate and vote on the deal or a no deal exit

One would imagine the Benn bill precludes that nonsense
