  1. I see Farage is already complaining about the backpedalling from the leave campaign leading lights. Now I predicted that would happen but not within three days. He is going to absolutely despise the deal we do. Cracking stuff.
  2. You know what I like? Twirl Bites. They're like a normal Twirl but smaller and in little pieces. Plus they come in big-ish bags where you can buy three or four at a time.
  3. Gove's wife asking for help, and, wait for it "expertise". From, presumably, experts. Iannucci couldn't make this stuff up.
  4. Brilliant. You won, suck it up.
  5. We'll see. Nice little raft of junior shadow ministers going tomorrow, a PLP meeting tomorrow and probably a decent bit of mockery at PMQs on Wednesday. There's no way anyone will go to the members with him on the ticket, just for the £3 Twitterati saps to vote him in again. They'll keep turning the screw until he jacks it in. That clip of him on the BBC news just now shuffling bits of paper and stumbling out a speech at the launch of Labour's remain campaign was all you needed to see. A bumbling geography teacher pratting about and utterly illsuited to running a scout hut tuck-shop. Spends all his time gutlessly preaching to the already converted and no time at all trying to talk to people who don't already agree with him. Just a pathetic embarrassment to such high office and role that needs competence to actually change people's lives for the better.
  6. Brilliant. Nice one TDD.
  7. I think the people who are cra pping themselves about "it" having "to stand" are the likes of Boris and Gove. Stop retreading the "neh neh we won" stuff. Most of us Remainers accepted that by seven am on Friday. We're getting on with it. The re-referendum Internet idiots are no different to the Brexit conspiro-loons going on about pens on polling day and Farage himself calling it fixed at 11pm on Thursday. That shi t would have happened regardless of winner, don't make out the whole of Leave would gave lost gracefully. Obviously they wouldn't. Personally I am looking forward to most of the Brexiteers, having had their Tony Blair "Thiiiings Can Only Get Bettttterrrr" moment of joy on Friday, start to see the scales falling from their eyes over the coming weeks and months. You won. Suck it up.
  8. And lead who, or what? Finished by Wednesday.
  9. He had a plan. Resign and let the leavers get on with it. Friday morning he did what I thought he would do and what I wanted him to do. Pretty laughable now to learn that when the Leave team were telling us that everything would be fine were basically implying that everything would be fine because the person we've been calling a scaremongering liar is going to sort it all out for us. We hope. Because we haven't got a clue.
  10. Chris Kamara giving minute by minute updates from just outside the education select committee meeting.
  11. We need a TV channel like Sky Sports News to cover stuff like politics.
  12. He's dead and buried. The shadow cabinet he had was a rag bag of second tier MPs anyway, with most of the actual talent keeping well clear. He won't be able to form another one. If he hasn't got a PLP to lead and is incapable of forming a shadow cabinet then it doesn't matter if a million £3 dins vote for him again. Toast.
  13. All speculation full stop.
  14. Top 10 and a good Europa run (last 16) would be a good season.
  15. Yes but that is the electorate not the membership of a party. The membership of the Labour party, were they in charge of everything, would not have prevented the rise of UKIP or the SNP.
  16. CB Fry

    Euro 2016

    Hodgson will have a cigar on the length of a snooker cue if France co ck this up.
  17. They won't, and they won't win one. The complicating factors around currency, borders and the small matter of a huge chunk of the electorate thinking they are sick of referendums(da). Krankie bleating on about it gives Ruth Davison a golden opportunity to portray the SNP as a single issue party with no perspective. Might just be a Tory dream in Scotland - the SNP won't be in power forever.
  18. And they have a hugely over inflated sense of their importance. They are utterly irrelevant in the scheme of things. They're going to vote Labour whatever.
  19. It's not going to be the effing Northern Ireland manager. It's not. Don't worry about it.
  20. Actually no. I have. This forum. All the bloody time.
  21. Jesus Christ. Obviously it isn't. I've never known hysteria like it.
  22. I think you need to start accepting that the most mealy mouthed stuff will be coming from Boris and the leading leaving lights.
  23. The only thing I've checked is the £350m claim and any suggestion that immigration is going to go down being comprehensively disowned within less than 24 hours of the result being declared. The brazenness is almost admirable - you can almost hear them laughing at the poor sods in Hartlepool and Boston and Basildon who swallowed it all. The elites have absolutely smashed this. The only real shame is they didn't promise to build a monorail as well.
  24. The masterstroke that will ultimately see Dennis Skinner in the Foreign Office.
  25. It was pretty obvious from early on in the campaign that Boris didn't really want Leave to win, he just wanted Boris to win, and put himself in an unassailable position with Tory grassroots to lead the party and be Prime Minister. Narrow defeat, status quo, friends again, jolly good. Like Corbyn a year ago, he's found himself in a jolly awkward position of winning something he really didn't want to, and then having to, like, do the thing now. Cameron walking out yesterday was his masterstroke (within a cluster fu ck of his own making). Boris - go on clever ****, sort that lot out. I can think of no better old Etonian boffin to bring hope to the run down towns like Boston and Hartlepool. They'll be dancing in the streets there in, what, three years time? Or maybe sooner when fix-it Boris starts sorting it. Hopefully they'll each get one of those new £350m schools and hospitals. Maybe in week two or three.
