'Staffer' is the worst word ever. It must be American surely.
Most MP aides and politicos have wet dreams about being part of the Bartlet regime so they've probably imported it from that.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman

Leave.EU are very mad because we're basically going to be Canada. Love reading the replies.
We voted to 'leave the European Union'. Nothing else.
Being Canada without the fucking snow, or tedious 'First Peoples', isn't so bad.
I'm glad that they got a deal, but it sounds like a bit of a fudge. And how the fuck does she sell it to the Tory party?
I don't know why fudge gets such a bad rep, I bloody love fudge.
She'll sell it to the Tory party by screaming JEREMY CORBYN at the top of her voice from the roof of number ten.
I don't ruled out May, despite being a fucking useless, vacuous witch, going on to become one of the great survivors of British politics.
No border
They did go into government with the actual IRA (as opposed to the North London branch) when it suited them, so I think the Jeremy Corbyn factor is somewhat overstated. We're on much more reliable ground depending on them being good Protestants. As for this stuff, it will make sense and work if there is a trade agreement (of sorts) at the end of it; but if there isn't then it won't.
I meant the Peter Bone types will be scared off by the Corbyn factor, not the Orange Order.
I suppose a Maastricht-style last stand is out of the question when the Labour 'moderates' would just side with the government.
If I were them, I would take anything that involves actually leaving with both hands.
And lo, nothing really changed, but everything changed.
It's a contingent fudge based on agreeing a free trade agreement at some indeterminate point in the future whilst essentially remaining in indefinitely until that point.
It's almost as if the whole plan is being executed by people who didn't want to leave in the first place.
I know it won't be sold as such, but isn't this a bit of a climb down from the EU seeing the UK isn't really committed to anything and can walk away with it's ever shrinking divorce bill billions as and when no trade agreement can be reached (bankrupting the EU in the process).
Won't the forrins (which was about 99.9% of the reason people voted for the exit) be able to head on in from here to NI and then get a boat to Britain without any checks then, or am I missing something? And if I'm not, what's the point then?
People won't be able to but goods will.
So do they start checking passports going from Belfast to Scotland on the boat? Because currently they don't.Originally Posted by phonics
We’re paying Ł40,000,000,000 to ‘leave’ but keep all the laws and regulations and have zero say in any new ones? Great deal, Tez.
Turns out the DUP deal still isn’t enough to get shit done.
Corbyn in.
CorbIN!
Corbyn would be a lot better off keeping his powder dry, you don't want to be in power for this. Whichever way you turn, you face an uprising either from the smug cunt intelligentsia or the pitchfork-wielding untermensch, both of whose votes he desperately needs.
Nah. We need more mess. If we’re going down, let’s do it with hilarity.
That's about the shape of it, except it won't be Ł40billion, it's going to end up being way more than that
Best way to get yourself publicity is to vote against the thing. Do it and get your face all over the front pages and have at least 45% of the country agree with you.
I think the problem is they're the most ultra-pro-EU people in the party, so trying to dress it up as 'respect for Parliament' is a lie - they want to stay in at all costs but are not prepared to be honest about it.
lol at the Tory's calling for deselections after saying Corbyn's lot looking for deselections was a COMMUNIST PURGE.
edit: The Guido Fawkes comments section is so weird. The average age must be about 73.
Is this actually news or just the papers making news out of anything they can? Like, is the brexit cancelled or something?
What a disgrace the daily mail is.
The Daily Mail may be a disgrace but it's only doing what all papers are doing, literally anything to sell copies because the industry is dying.
That would be a convincing argument if the online section that makes a bunch of money wasn't exactly the same. Paul Dacre's just a cunt, a cunt that thinks his paper is making enough to double his salary this year.
The online section makes money (if it does) with celeb nipple slips and pictures of dogs wearing silly outfits, it's not a newspaper.
It makes absolutely loads. They had a 15% drop in revenue this year and still came up millions in the green. Revenue was 572 million for MailOnline in 2015...
edit: Whoops that was the whole DMGT group combined. 119m for MailOnline.
Why doesn't the Guardian or Telegraph then? Not enough bikini pictures and biscuits that look like John Travolta.
The Guardian went for internal advertising to create revenue, Guardian Masterclasses et al.
Whereas the Mail do this:
When they're not making money off those basic banner ads, comments system and shares. They're selling column inches to PR companies to be posted through their Facebook etc.
And think about it, I'm in Switzerland and I have targeted company ads to my location. That means they're selling specific ads in countries all over the world which brings in far more money than generics.
Yesterday was about the least important thing ever, and, if anything, actually increases the likelihood of the dream NO DEAL scenario. Labour have probably shot themselves in the foot as well since they now have to pick an actual side, rather than pretending just attacking the Conservative Party and calling it a Brexit policy.
That's reassuring. I might have breakfast sausage for lunch instead of the usual chorizo.
Nice to see Remain Twitter revelling in parliamentary supremacy though. If only we could have more of it.
Remain Twitter (or Twitter, as it's otherwise known) wanted Parliament to use its supremacy to vote down the result of the 'advisory' referendum, so they'll be batting for it right up until we actually leave.
The more comical the Daily Heil gets, the less credibility it has. Why aren't they realising this? Their abuse of Corbyn obviously did not have the intended effect at the election.
Mail readers voted 74% Tory / 15% Labour at the election, so it probably did.
Grauniad 73 Lab, 12 LD, 8 Con. lol.
How did they vote at elections prior to that?
I don't know, but logic suggests it would have been a lot more for Labour in the late 90s and 2000s when the paper was telling them to vote Labour.
EDIT: Not telling them to vote Labour, I've misremembered, but Dacre was pro-Brown. The Sun was Labour between 1997-2009.
Well, this says that it was 59/14 in 2015 (with the main difference being that UKIP votes went to the Tories in 2017) so the proportion of Heil readers who voted for Labour slightly increased after Corbyn took over.
Then again, they labelled Ed Milliband a communist too.
lol
If May hadn’t called a snap election the government would’ve passed that last night by one vote (assuming the 13 seats she lost voted with the government of course). Saboteurs crushed indeed.
I don't know whether that is from tonight, butall the same.
EDIT: It is tonight. Jesus.
That might single-handedly bring blacking up back into vogue.
David Davis cut short a crucial BREXIT meeting with EU people to go and meet that cunt that edits the Daily Cunt.
Bastard.
What's amazing about it is that the geezer is politically-aware enough to have come up with the idea, and yet still has the balls to go through with it.
The numbers gag is nice and subtle as well.
I'm lolling a lot at the #FBPE thing which has sprung up on Remain Twitter. This is why you lost, gringos.
I still lol at 'saboteur' in profiles. You're a lecturer, mate. Blow up a railway and we'll talk.
