    What Tim Farron was doing instead beggars belief.

    I've enjoyed tracking the Vote Leave live-shrieking at work. It's mad how that Sarah Wollaston was leave until two weeks before the vote, and now, having moaned about it ever since, she wants the thing voided. If you were cynical you would think that somebody had put her up to it originally (if you were cynical, that is).

    I know what the point was, I just wanted to make the shit joke about their double-barrelled penis-named children.

    I don't know how he managed it. Maybe he has a massive wang like his name suggests.

    I get it all retweeted in by ex cricketers and football journalists, and also because for some reason I follow Sir Michael White.

    In twenty years they'll be like that small mob of journos who still think Tony Blair is great.

    One policy I would recommend is immediately unfollowing anyone who ever subjects you to James O'Brien. JAMES O'BRIEN DESTROYS BREXIT CALLER. And then it's him, with that intense cunt look on his face, 'just wondering' how somebody who believes in national sovereignty can eat imported fruit.

    There is plenty of evidence of him being a twat, but when you've got David Lammy of all people jumping on this as proof of him being a thicko then you all need to wind it in.

    The second referendum people seem to be a bit perky at the minute. Deadly Dom wrote the other day about Vote Leave II becoming a movement/party and smashing everything to bits after another victory, which would obviously be amazing, but I don't think it would even need to win. If another vote went 60/40 to remain that would still leave you with fourteen million(?) people who would be well up for it, and that kills the Conservative Party at the very least.

    I now think there should be a second ref with preferential voting with the options being:

    Deal
    No Deal
    Remain

    A Remain victory would lead to quite a few riots and probably a national government for a bit (Remain people still don't understand that most Leave voters don't have anything to lose), and a No Deal victory would probably lead to a military coup. I'd vote for Deal... not sure about my second pref.

    Would that be an actual deal, or a mythical one? The existence of the choice probably mitigates against the existence of the thing.

    I was just reading some trash no deal doomsday article about something Amber Rudd wrote and it had this little gem in it:

    Under the plans, ministers are considering drafting the army in to help deliver supplies to hard-to-reach areas outside of the southeast of England, according to The Sunday Times.


    Someone's taking the piss. Even better if it's some clickbait bot doing it.

    lol at Boris Johnson sitting at home lolling to himself as all the twats send his stock soaring. Good to see Sayeeda Warsi is still a thing as well. Surely David Cameron could have just hired a brown woman to have his photograph taken next to rather than committing the taxpayer - sorry, us taxpayers - to providing her with relevance for the rest of her life.

    Anyone with any sense should be able to see his stock is through the floor and he has nowhere near enough substance to land anything.

    He had a chance to step-up and prove otherwise and he blew it.

    Boris completely fucked his stock over Brexit. Ran in opposition to put Dave under a bit of pressure only for the vote to come out in 'his favour'. You don't come back from looking sheepish on the plinth during your victory speech.

    If he was any good he would have seized the baton after the vote and run with it, he had every opportunity to be the sole voice of a clear, positive vision for Brexit. As it was, he was a useless dithering twat, Gove realised it and suicide bombed him.

    There's probably been several people down the years that have thought 'Make him PM and I can get anything I want' in the same way the charlatans that back Trump (Pence, Ryan, the Federalist Society etc.) are only using him to advance their own agenda because they know he has absolutely no policy interests outside of 'more racism, less regulation'. Which is why you have so many pro-Boris media contacts. The problem is Boris is half smart enough to ask 'why?' occasionally which makes him useless as a vessel. So then you need him to be a proper actual leader but he could never face not being popular which is why he bottled the leadership election the moment he realised he'd have 1/3rd of the party hating him even though he would have won at a canter.

    He is in Politics for the status, not the power. So now you get stupid dog whistle Boris, trying to build his credibility back up. I am as liberal as they come and have massive issues with the Burqa and it's various forms, but I don't go out in public saying it's like talking to a letterbox. It's simply playing to a crowd.

    I think Gove's a massive prick and I hate him with every fibre, I also think the country would be in a far more stable position if he'd just gone forward with it. Corbyn is still trying to get his own party to like him what feels like half a decade later while Theresa May has spent 2 years of post-Article 50 negotiations with a stab proof vest on and still letting blood. The entire Western political establishment is an absolute joke, I'd rather we were run by the civil service at this point and they can't even get a basic infrastructure contract right.

    I think all the commies have terrible ideas but I'd almost take it, at least it's honest incompetence.

    I lolled out loud at work reading Rod Liddle on Jezza (the computers are so slow you can stop the page loading before the paywall stuff comes up):

    By the time you read this it will probably emerge that he was caught on CCTV in 2014 putting a brick through a synagogue window and running away screaming ‘Intifada!’ Excuse no. 1: ‘It wasn’t me. This is fake news!’ Excuse no. 2: ‘I did put the brick through the window, in order to check that the glass was secure from possible attack by anti-Semites.’

    I've been saying it for ages. He's just laughably thick, and it ought to have been obvious to anyone listening to him attempting to discuss anything remotely complex. Good to see it becoming an official party line though.

    This stuff is all bubble rubbish unfortunately. No one cares about anti-Semitism, or indeed any wider world issue, it's all about money in their pocket and services in their area. If the Tories don't sort that they're in trouble.

    Jews do, but there aren't many of those.

    As for the Conservative Party, housing is the most obvious sign of its intellectual and moral (and political) failures, so I think it needs burning to the ground again. Unfortunately, when it has previously needed torching its demise was helped along by the Great British Public having been offered something approaching a respectable alternative (hindsight aside). Without one you can see it staggering on in its current state for another few years.

    "The Scottish government confirms they had a complaint in January."

    So, they've had a complaint. When it arrives should be immaterial. Also, top tie.

    I think Barnier rolling out the EU-Korea trade deal talk is both quite lol, and quite interesting.

    I wonder how many of the EU's trade partners consider the deals signed with the UK within the bloc to be substantially the same without it in? In the example of Korea, the UK is the biggest single European receipient of Korean Exports and they have a $1.7bn trade surplus with us. Next in line are Germany (but with a $12bn trade deficit) the Dutch, Italians and French, all who also run trade surpluses with Korea. You can see why the EU is keen to keep that deal afloat.

    I wonder, as an export economy, who the Koreans view as a more important trade partner?
