    Tony nobbled him. As the docu goes on and you move quickly from young Brown to 1980s Brown to 1990s Brown and on, you can see him gradually receding from this political whirlwind towards being the delusional mess that he was as PM.

    Gordon Brown was a more intelligent version of Theresa May. His political interventions are, in their own way, worse than the shite Blair regularly treats us to.

    'More intelligent version of Theresa May' sounds like damning someone with faint praise if I ever heard it. Wasn't her career largely built off wearing a fancy pair of shoes one time?

    Big fan of Raab trying to go all "All lives matter" on misogyny and having to have the definition of misogyny confirmed to him.

    Every response they give is tinged in "how would a gammon react if I answered this honestly". Horrible horrible party.

    They've hit on the perfect formula for what England wants: 1. keep things how they are, 2. drown the poor, 3. insult the foreigners, and 4. have a laugh while doing it.

    It's a very hard proposition for Labour to beat, as their dwindling band of supporters don't want any of those things.

    Don't forget to completely blame everything that's wrong on the last government and rely on the mongos of the electorate to forget the Tories have been in charge forever.

    This government is a disgrace. A lying, evil, psychopathic, inept disgrace.

    But give me a 10% pay bump and we'll call it evens.

    It really is 1984 now thanks to facebook etc. Why would it be Boris's fault he is PM with a massive majority, as close as he can get to Kim Jong Un in a democracy, how could he possibly solve issues? It was that last lot, whoever they were.

    The fuel crisis was very third world. Will need a bit more of that and a bit less of Marcus PRashford tweeting about failed children to awaken the masses because let's be honest, life as it is is too comfortable to bother about politics.

    The fuel crisis, such that it was, was more of an indictment of the populace than of the politicians, so it's a bit more root and branch to try and fix that sort of thing.

    Dominic Raab appears to be little more than an actual moron, and only serves to emphasis quite how far you can get in life whilst being a complete idiot. Are there any politicians of any sort of intellectual capacity knocking about these days? Feels like there aren't many, if any.

    Raab will be losing his seat next election, I can exclusively report from the ground.

    Since Blair you've been able to do most things using 'advanced social skills', which I've been told he has. I've never met the man (though he did glare at me across the street once) so I can only presume it's the Peter Mannion 'Vital, vital work you do.'

    We had the same sort of fuel shortage not very many years ago, different causes but it's not like it never happens.

    Mr Johnson called his government a reforming, can-do government, which after "decades of drift and dither" would reform social care and opportunities across the UK.

    TBF, he's clearly pitching himself against all previous incumbents (same party and otherwise) with this 'reshaping the economy' stuff so it's a valid line and the twitter performative lolling is misplaced on this occasion.

    There is nothing valid about the blustering cunt and all lolling is fair, performative or otherwise.

    The idea that this bloke could reshape an economy - beyond shoving dynamite up its arse and putting a cigarette out on it, like he has so far - is genuinely laughable.

    I'm saying it's valid (within his own framework) to say 'decades of dither' about the past, not that his framework necessarily has any merit.

    A lot of people aren't able to get past THE TORIES as an evil bloc.

    Dominic Raab seems to be more in the tradition of actually clever but slightly awkward politicians. He clearly just mis-spoke today, and his clarification made a much better point than any of the idiots jumping all over the initial words are capable of making.

    I'm generally not one to slate MPs' pay (the more you pay them, the better quality of MPs you will get, as with everything in life) but the argument that they should earn the same as GPs is nonsensical.

    If he'd just been a nakedly greedy twat saying he wants as much as GPs I think I'd actually have a hair less contempt for him than him describing it as 'grim' and 'desperate.'

    Maybe he needs some of those benefits he loves to vote against to top it up.

    Even MPs offer a better service than GPs, so somebody needs paying less.

    I quite like the tone.

    I mean, I'm fine, I've been in this game long enough to have rorted myself a great little set-up, it's just the n00bs I feel for, it's so much harder for them to sneak through the government funded second home in London when their constituency is a 30 minute commute from Parliament . . .

    That was Eric Joyce. Cracking wikipedia intro for him:

    Eric Stuart Joyce (born 13 October 1960) is a former British politician, convicted child sex offender, former military officer and former Scottish judo champion.

    It was “insensitive” for the Work and Pensions Secretary to sing (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life during the Conservative Party conference as the Universal Credit cut came into force, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said.

    David Amess (The MP where I used to live) has been stabbed multiple times. Obviously not nice and I hope he pulls through, but it's somehow fitting, seeing as he's overseen the town degrading into a cesspit of drugs and violence over the last 24 years. Soz lad.
