Omg they’re on channel 4 news?!

I remember Oborne doing a Channel 4 programme on *Cameron where he tore him to shreds, he is quite good at that sort of thing.

(*also a major hate figure of P. Hitchens')

he did that good piece on the tom bower corbyn book too. still a tory fuck but

I’d long since been able to observe intellectually that the Conservative Party was not the exclusive force for evil I’d been brought up to believe it. But I think I only emotionally absorbed this when I was working day after day alongside talented, wise, compassionate and thoughtful people who chose to wear a blue rosette at election time.

this is the LibDem policy adviser who was famous for jocundly tweeting about the negotiating triumph of swapping a pile of disabled corpses for the 5p carrier bag bill. This is quite hilarious really, and it opens with a Nolan movie metaphor about her lol broad-minded and unbiased approach to politics!

the key thing to remember about the horrors of British history is that no one was responsible for them

But honestly, I paid almost no attention to politics.

In 2002 I had an interview for a graduate trainee scheme at Reuters where they asked me to name “a news story from the last few months”. I stared blankly until the interviewer generously reminded me of a few: a Foot and Mouth epidemic, a postponed General Election, the Soham murders, the death of the Queen Mother. I didn’t get the job.

... and within a couple of years she was a Policy Adviser for the Lib Dems.

I'm suspicious of (adult) people who suddenly develop an interest in politics having had no interest at all before, I always wonder where they could end up. There's few Corbynista friends of mine I'm keeping an eye on.

is it me and comrade alpha

in order to poke fun at myself as a politician in an awkward encounter. I am really sorry for causing offence. Thank you also to @DavidLammy for raising this too. I am really sorry.

I am very sorry towards the guys and towards everyone else. I was wrong.

now tweet it in dari

من نسبت به بچه ها و نسبت به همه افراد دیگر بسیار متاسفم. من اشتباه میکردم.

داستانها باید شوکه کننده باشند

that's supposed to say tories got to keep torying shocker, but it translates as Stories must be shocking

"There's few Corbynista friends of mine I'm keeping an eye on."

they can't all have what it takes to be lifelong committed socialists like Chris Williamson :p

Nice.

On This Morning @richardm56 asked Jeremy how it’d work to have a Chancellor who doesn't believe in capitalism.

➜ Real living wage
➜ End to austerity
➜ Essential utilities in public ownership
➜ Income tax up only for top 5%
➜ 32 hour week with no loss of pay

That's how.

that awesomeness versus the Priti line that UK workers are a bunch of lazy malingerers that are responsible for the productivity crisis because of their obsession with music polls

:) also lol xp

Mcd being totally otm and amusingly being condescending to the running joke of a chancellor: grow up

Boris trying to sound like a particularly boorish clerk of works with maleness issues on a building site: man up.

yeah you can see why Eton has charity status.

this is a councillor from dewsbury, only two weeks after west yorkshire police got around 500 cops to escort a far-right march in the town, and targeted anti-fascists who’d come to oppose them https://t.co/1pdOUjtjlf

Very good on being at the mercy of shitty DWP

"In January 2018 I was told that my DLA was being scrapped. Presumably this was punishment for the notorious role disabled people played in the financial crisis"

huh! I thought it was too many libraries in Wolverhampton that caused that

turning disability benefits in a Kafkaesque nightmare/raffle ticket draw hasn't even saved them any money, apparently the welfare spend has actually gone up in the PIP era. That's tory austerity in a nutshell for you, persecuting and disenfranchising vulnerable citizens at a cost is how they roll.

just seen that clip from Richard and Judy where Corbyn says "Boris is a strange PM" and Judy says "Your not kidding". If Peter Oborne's rep can be slightly rehabilitated there is still hope for Richard's apparently better half.

Another said: “She was a terrible campaigner. She came across as grumpy, entitled and expecting to win, and then visibly irritated when she came under scrutiny.”

happy memories of GE'17

^^ sure fire xmas stockings hit, that book

I'll be sorely tempted to illegally down load it!

par for the course i know but impressed that jonathon freeland/sam bourne's latest piece on why corbyn should be removed manages to not mention policy once afaict

best description I heard of the Graun recently was "an opinion factory with 26 rectums"

huh! I thought it was too many libraries in Wolverhampton that caused that

If Jeremy Corbyn was spotted actually walking on water, Jonathan Freedland would file 1000w criticising him for not being able to swim.

just seen that clip from Richard and Judy where Corbyn says "Boris is a strange PM" and Judy says "Your not kidding". If Peter Oborne's rep can be slightly rehabilitated there is still hope for Richard's apparently better half.

Judy's always been fine, it's her husband who's the idiot.

it gives me, I think they call it ‘endorphins’

Hahahaha

oh yesssss

very important distinction re the two peters btw: hitchens p has no deeper more hated foe than british summertime -- WHY FALSIFY THE CLOCKS?

Only a few hours to go and Britain will be restored to natural, organic, truthful time after months of pointless dislocation. Let's stay on GMT . You wouldn't falsify a thermometer or a speedometer. Why falsify the clocks?

"You wouldn't falsify a thermometer"

is that a challenge

I'm pretty sure I've seen several Beano characters falsify a thermometer loads of times

Can't believe Diana Johnson got reselected ffs

you know Any Questions has been bad enough over the years, but it has been mostly much better than QT in this era - which isn't really saying much. But I don't think I'm going to listen to it ever again now that Chris Mason is the presenter.

Hahahahahahaha busted, Tim Spoons:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/oct/27/jd-wetherspoon-may-have-breached-law-over-19m-brexit-beer-mats

Also can someone explain what the IMF *is* to him.

I like that the headline in the Guardian article states he "may have" broken the law, while the article goes on to state a series of easily verifiable instances where the law was openly and massively flouted.

Also can someone explain what the IMF *is* to him.

yes that

Extension to 31st January then

At last check daily mail and sky news were still running brexit countdown clocks

Now, will Corbyn break free and vote for an election?

probably not today.

Don't hold your breath.

Clocks go back an hour - Hitch has an aneurysm over phoney clocks of deception

Brexit clocks go forward 2 months - no comment yet.

Is it lack of December election readiness or does he want Johnson to keep stewing in his own juices?
