"n'er cast a clout til May be out aka NO BREXIT: hell is other voters -- UK election 2017

Isabel Oakeshott, she of the Cameron-is-pig-fucker "scoop" and living personification of the Mail

Her being so fucking bust is one of today's joys

She of 'nobody will ever trust May again if she calls election' and 'MASTERFUL LEADERSHIP IN CALLING ELECTION ' tweets ten minutes apart fame too.

ah, sees about right.
she's contributing nothing of value.

can someone explain the kensington result pls

canterbury too while they're at it

Kensington is new: it's not the old K&Chelsea seat, and without Chelsea it's a lot more mixed. Add to that a lot of furious Remainers (it's packed with rich Euro-immigrants) and possibly a lot of empty mansion streets and you get the result I think.

Canterbury: term-time election brings out the students

Though caek has debunked that one nicely i see

i guess it makes sense that the term time effect would be bigger for corbyn. it just seems like a misnomer given that every election is in term time.

Tories are mooting closing Canterbury hospital iirc.

Ruth Davidson plotting a Scottish Tory breakaway, both over DUP and Single Market: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/09/ruth-davidson-planning-scottish-tory-breakaway-challenges-theresa/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Xp lol

this day just keeps getting weirder

and funnier

“Before Easter, I spent a few days walking in Wales with my husband, thought about this long and hard and came to the decision that to provide that stability and certainty for the future, this was the way to do it – to have an election."

I'd forgotten about this, at the time it seemed like sinister fake modesty with a distastefully hitleresque sense of "schicksal". Thinking of this hubris and looking at those fucking DUP headbangers that will be holding them to ransom (even tho it probably shouldn't be) is actually pretty fucking funny atm!

But this RD situation adds another amusing clusterfuck to the situation.

also reading on twitter that sinn fein say the dup-tory coalition contravenes the good friday agreement

(but haven't tracked down a link to an actual story, so pinch of salt)

i suspect bringing the dup in this way does actually bring a LOT of um difficult irish politics onto the english front pages, including exactly the kinds of ppl nigel dodds has spent time hanging around in the past

If DUP Is only a party in Northern Ireland doesn't that effect the ability to make a coalition anyway?
If you're supposed to be doing that using legitimacy as a buzzword or whatever.
Just would have thought you'd need a party that was present throughout the UK, like.

It isn't really a coalition.

Also only gives them a 2 seat majority which looks a bit dodgy.

past is probably a more precise word but ppl are going to say coalition bcz it rams the problems (and the hypocrisy) home

anyway i haven't found a link to the story and don't know enough abt the GFA to say if it's plausible

xp: one is all they need to form a government (which may well not last long, i'm old enough to remember the late 70s, they were lots of fun for this kind of stuff)

past s/b PACT, sorry

Thinking about May out on Downing Street behind her podium, railing at the EU for meddling in the UK election feels like a lifetime ago.

Did anyone see Anna Soubry on channel 4 news. Clearly pissed, in the British and North American senses.

I was thisclose to Patsy/vodka/cigarette meme post.

Haha!

davidson pours water on the idea that she's going to go her own way

http://i.imgur.com/9BcpRXK.jpg

has matthew goodwin ate that book already

She's pretty straight talking but I think she's protesting too much there, probably using the fact they'll keep the whip to mean they're not "going their own way".

I think her constituency is going to force this of her. If she wants to keep those 12 at the next election, especially with Labour and LDs suddenly seeming plausible in Scotland again, she needs to court the huge Remain base, and also acknowledge that not only is Scotland more open to immigration, it'll be in recession without it. Add to that the gay rights angle and she has makings of a party-within-party

Here's a video of Jonathan Powell talking about how this DUP coalition contravenes the Good Friday agreement because because it relies on the impartiality of Westminster.

sorry, I couldn't find the video outside of Facebook.

I cannot wait for Ruth Davidson to crash and burn. She lucked out because of Sturgeon's stupidity and imcompetence.

i found the trevi fountain and the colosseum somewhat deflating when visiting them on a family holiday so i think i'll have to go for ecumenism

Soubry's BBC interview with dimbleby around 5am election night was wild. Worth seeking out.

as ever i must choose 'antichrist'

This tweet is EVERYTHING and its brutality is to be admired:

savage

this article excerpt doing the rounds is great 1 because of the utter stupidity of the suggestion by Fiona Hill, 2 bcos of the impression it gives of May standing back behind the aggression and rudeness of her spads, as the layer between her and the cabinet, and the world really.
