    This entire shelf of own-brand cereals sounds like an old English army Major, trying to find a euphemism for gay men.

    BREXIT Tory MP David Davies gets thrown off Sky TV by Kay Burley for making a complete tit of himself 🤦‍♂️ "Let's not be patronising, that's not acceptable" The usual stuff then...

    The breadth of investigations is so sweeping that they may hang over the president and his entourage long after Robert Mueller’s probe is finished.

    So, let’s say I’m feeling generous and concede the bullshit claim that May knows what every single of the 17.4m Leave voters wanted and all of them wanted exactly the same thing. Was it her deal or no deal? It plainly can’t be both. So how can both be equally democratic outcomes?

    Labour accuses May of 'running scared' of Corbyn call for confidence vote in her premiership. No.10 spokesman hits back Labour 'playing silly games' and dares Corbyn to ramp it up to full conf vote in entire govt.

    “I have become the largest buyer of fridges in the world. I didn’t expect that”, says Health Sec . We’re filling fridges with drug stockpiles at huge cost to the NHS, because nobody has a clue what’s around the corner. Is this taking back control? STOP THIS MADNESS.

    This was probably the worst session May has had in the Chamber. She is notorious for giving non-answers, but I have never actually seen her give the SAME non-answer again and again for over an hour.

    The spectacle of on shouting over everyone “people voted to leave deal or no deal”. She’s sure of this, as she’s officially Interpreter of What Everyone Is Thinking When They Vote. As sure as she was in 2016 and 2017 reporting we’d get a great deal.

    I, for one, don’t really feel I ever need another vote, as long as there’s no polish sausages section in my Tesco’s chiller cabinet, that’ll be enough of a victory to last me a lifetime.

    We’re very new to it, what with us having been part of the EUSSR for 45 years and having no sovirnty, so they have to break us in gently. This is SUCH a caring government. Thank you.

    No plans for when May’s deal will be put to a vote, no plans to put alternatives to Parliament, no plans for a , gov’t in contempt for ignoring Commons. Gosh. Since we “took back control from unelected Brussels bureaucrats“ democracy is really flourishing, isn’t it.

    Downing Street says “no plans” for indicative Commons votes to test the mood of Parliament on Brexit, despite Cabinet ministers falling over themselves to publically call for it.

    This thread sums up why I've had such a good time doing a podcast with Ian this year.

    This relentless stream of disingenuous bullshit, churned out, day after day.

    Not the slightest fucking idea what they're talking about. If a bloke came over and said he'd demolish his house for £500 quid, he'd think: 'I'm in the money'.

    I’ve had to watch this bit of Liam Fox on several times. The more I do, the more bizarre it seems: The reason the side who lost a 52-48 vote must not demand another vote is that, if Fox’s side lost 52-48, they would definitely be demanding another vote? Huh?

    Woke up this morning to find that someone has painted "Catholic bastards" onto a wall near my house. Grim that this is still happening in Belfast in 2018

    Such a good and original point.

    Replying to @sturdyAlex
    And don't forget that Jenkin et al were behaving exactly the same in the 1990s during Major's tenure, long before the referendum. So whatever's driving their behaviour, it can't be the will of the people, because they were precisely the same before Leave won.

    The very people who refuse to accept Parliamentary majority is against them or the result of their own democratic party processes and scheme incompetently for years to bring down their leader, see plots, ruses, and the betrayal of democracy everywhere. It’s called “projection”.

    A second ref is just a ruse to stop Brexit. They would revoke Art 50 and then they would finish up dropping it. Because nobody wants a 2nd ref. Or the original option of “Leave” would not be on the ballot paper.
