  1. Please please, please vote for a hardliner candidate in the forthcoming Tory leadership election. I am counting on you and Les pal. Best money I will have (n)ever spent
  2. 2-1. It was coming.
  3. Derby 2 down - shocking goalkeeping.
  4. Where's the methodology for this? I've heard others absolutely tearing this analysis to shreds on the radio - saying the leave-remain splits for each party are based on past and thus outdated voting data produced under very different political and economic conditions, so cannot be be extrapolated from. Thus, the lib dems have become far more radical in their support for remaining in the EU in the past three years and their voting base has shifted accordingly. This is especially the case in a one-off contest like the 2019 EU elections which Farage has called a pseudo-referendum. So the idea that roughly a third of their vote in the EU elections was made up of leave votes is for the birds. If you have the methodology, would be interested in seeing it.
  5. Are there any other changes in the coaching and behind-the-scenes setup?
  6. Swivel-eyed. Quite literally.
  7. Or the parties that are charged with the complex task of governing the country and understand that compromise is the only way out of this mess. Its pretty easy to be an insurgent party and shout from the sidelines and not have to take responsibility for your actions.
  8. Les, I read your last sentence over and over but still couldn’t make head or tail of it. So staunch remain parties outnumbered staunch Brexit ones, though the margins were ultimately small. More significant, a larger number rejected a no-deal WTO Brexit. As I say please please and pretty please, vote for a hardliner in the upcoming leadership election - it’s quite amusing watch you dig your own grave while the rest of us barely have to move a muscle
  9. Can you come up with a football analogy so that Jamie can follow.
  10. In other news, pro-EU parties held ground across Europe while Eurosceptic and far-right parties made only modest gains (and most of them no longer want to leave the EU or the Euro) and underperformed expectations. By contrast, some of the biggest gains were made by the Greens. Remember when we were told (admittedly by Jihadi John who’s wrong about nearly everything) that Brexit and the referendum had set off an earthquake across the entire continent and would lead to the collapse of the EU. Still waiting...
  11. The Brexit Party are the largest single party in the EP, ergo they are Man City or winners of the Champions League. Why hasnt the rest of the EU given them a guard of honour. They get to call the shots. Because that’s how politics and proportional representation work. You’re having a mare
  12. And there are even smaller numbers supporting a WTO Brexit. MPs can feel vindicated and legitimised in their efforts to block no deal. Please, please, please can the swivels in the Conservative Party membership vote in a hardliner. It might actually force a conclusion to the issue and bury them in the process.
  13. Trying to give Jeff a run for his money in crap analogies. I’d say yours is worse. Head’s gone
  14. Remember Raab is the politician who thinks that a 5p income tax reduction would cost only £15bn. A real heavyweight- no wonder he appeals to Nolan who’s also struggled with numbers in the past
  15. Civil servants will typically prepare a draft covering the basics but it will be revised and often rewritten by ministers and their spads with an eye on the political optics. Civil servants fully agreed the contents of the NAO report days before - there is no evidence that they are responsible for McVey’s transgressions. Stick to the fruit and veg pal.
  16. Not the type of error that civil servants would make. It was a highly politicised misrepresentation of the NAO report for a flagship ideological policy and it bears all the fingerprints of McVey and her advisors.
  17. Yet you have no evidence that’s the case with McVey and the circumstances are very different. Good lad.
  18. Not misleading Parliament not that high up on your list of requirements then?
  19. Dopey c**ts https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9158060/sunderland-fan-head-trafalgar-square-fountain-boxers/ As for shîtting in the fountain...
  20. Charlton up, scoring with virtually the last kick of the game. Scrappy goal, horrible game. Not that impressed by Aribo.
  21. The insider who couldn’t come up with a credible plan and then did a runner Everyone wins prizes at university pal.
  22. Who would you like to see as PM? Getting all excited for Dominic Raab?
  23. Good CV but found him to be a bit lightweight in practice.
  24. For Les, Brexit isn’t a complex negotiation but has always been a religious experience. Of course, he’s going to spout absolute shîte. Did you see Farage blinking away on Sky News in the face of the gentlest questioning? All the complexities, trade-offs would melt away if only people believed in it. And gullible coffin-dodgers happily send him money or have him as their avatar
  25. Me neither. I had him down as a naked chef fan.
