So, all very boring then. Apart from UKIP. LOL at them.
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

Both main parties utter shite seems to be the public mood.
The Conservative Party not exploding is pretty amazing. Obviously the actual party has to keep itself together, and obviously Labour being the mong party helps, but by what right is it winning councils and remaining 'there or thereabouts' in every opinion poll?
lmao
I didn’t even know he was still alive.
He inhabits such a weird void of high-profile irrelevance. Too big a name to lower himself to one of those bullshit mayor jobs, like what Dan Jarvis has just got, but also lacking the constituency or connections to be in for one of the bigger ones, like what Dan Jarvis hopes to eventually get. He could probably have won a few admirers leading this anti-Semitism stuff, but he hasn't got the coconuts (or inclination) to stand up to the Jezza freaks, which is also why he won't ever be a prominent critic of the party. I bet he wishes he had had a bit more notice before the last election to line up a worthless university fellowship somewhere and call it a day.
Ed Miliband spends his time doing a podcast with some whopper who used to be on the radio. He isn't above anything, but he definitely has the name and connections to get a proper position if he wants it.
"I just got a Twitter account, I've heard it's a good way to stay informed about the issues of the day. Let's see what my local MP is up to."
Not following any of the Corbyn-nutters, I have no clue what's going on here. What is a Gammon?
A particular sort of right winger whose face looks like gammon when he gets angry.
I suppose it is 'racist' insofar as it belittles people (partly) on account of their complexion, but imagine caring about something like that.
Since when have the right wing been such snow flakes.
I assumed it was a derogatory term for one of the non-gammon eating peoples.
Dave Cameron loves a bit of gammon
There are a hundred other wank terms these days that would preclude gammon. My aunt, a standard issue vegetarian, has a mate who describes herself as a 'pescopollotarian', which is a vegetarian who also eats chicken and fish. I don't know why that needs a title, but apparently it does.
They've been giving Mark Zuckerberg summons for months now, he's said he's far too busy. They said how about this date, and once again said no. 2 days later they announce that he'll be at the EU version of the inquiry instead.
Did they threaten to arrest him like we did? He must have a holiday booked.
Those committees are nothing to do with discovering truth and everything to do with MPs getting on telly. They act like small time local councillors.
We are not worthy.Dominic Cummings has told friends he *will* turn up to watch the Commons debate on his failure to attend a Commons select committee —— from the public gallery in the Commons.
Legend. His blogs on it have all been top drawer as well. Meanwhile, Theresa May needs booting out sooner rather than later.
This has got confusing. Davis is mad at May over something called 'a backstop' which doesn't seem to be either or the two plans they already presented that I didn't understand either. And theyre voting on it all next week?
If ever there was a situation for Gove to become PM, this is probably it. Whatever people think about him, he is clever and bright and bold (TM 0/3).
He is fucking bad at politics but utterly brilliant at government.
Is he Strong and Stable though?
(also he's a total fucking shitcunt, but anyhoo)
Yes, Michael Gove. He should have had David Davis' job in the first place, and the fact he never probably revealed how they intended to fuck everything up.
Who did it better?
Want to see the most cringeworthy thing that has ever existed?
Of course you do.
This latest Brexit capitulation sounds ominous. There is always the hope that Europe rejects it, or that somebody gets rid of Theresa May, but if we end up leaving ('leaving') on anything like these terms then everyone behind it - planning and supporting - wants blowing up.
I'm cool with it, except that it might bring Corbyn back into play as a Brexit Means Brexit champion.
I'm not, and I won't be voting for the Conservative Party again until they promise to leave properly.
What have they come up with?
Not going to happen. Too much remain cultural power and too close a result. I'll take any sort of de jure Brexit as it'll get what I wanted when I voted Leave in the first place, which is not having to go along with their imperial bollocks a few years down the line.
Me and Carswell are the true believers. Getting fisted up the arse together.
What we need is for a joint Political Ad from both parties admitting they can't manage this.
I personally don't mind the 'status quo' (i.e. 1995-2015), but really there is no status quo. The 1995-2015 situation won't just roll along forever. Long term the options are going into the Euro and accepting political union, or out. And because the nations of Europe (especially the retarded one with 28 state) ultimately just don't have much in common and the first option will not work, I choose out.
'Out of Europe, but still run by Europe.'
The bulldog won't be happy
I'm still yet to find out which part of the Good Friday Agreement commits us to being in a customs union with Ireland for the rest of time. Was that on the ballot paper (to coin a phrase) at the time?
With ISIS winding down at least we have someone waiting in the wings.
Definitely. It was always a disgrace, but I don't think it was that much of a sell-out that it made Northern Ireland a European protectorate, which people seem to think it did. What a twat Michael Gove was earlier BOTTLING IT all over the telly. If they can't even deliver a proper Brexit then the Conservative Party in its current form serves no purpose whatsoever, and the spectre of Jeremy Corbyn means nothing.
If I have it right, the British Cabinet have agreed between themselves what their negotiating position should be. At this stage.
Shambles.
David Davis is a twat.
On the topic of popular referendums and how shit they are, there’s a proposition on the ballot in California that asks to partition the state into 3 different ones. It’s funded by a Silicon Valley cryptocurrency magnate, lol
It’s polling 17-72 right now, thankfully, but at some point I wonder if “the people” choosing the outcome of an important geopolitical decision, like in Brexit, should be utterly disregarded. It’s a stupid, stupid way to get anything done, people will vote a certain way just for the “drama”, so why fucking listen to anything they have to say
I have several friends who are still on the Pro Remain, Pro Jezza Camp. I've tried to tell them a million times that Corbyn hates the EU more than most of the Conservative Party but they don't seem to believe me. They keep saying that he'll put out a second referendum. From Right to Left, from Conservative to Labour, I don't think so many people have lied to themselves for so long about what's happening.
I'm absolutely loving this though
