Rolling Brexit Links/UK politics in the neo-Weimar era

It's weird how making the case for immigration is never on the to do list of these people

Oh bless she said legitimate concerns

"there has been a spate of legitimate concerns attacks in my constituency"

"my colleague Jo Cox was killed by a legitimate concernist"

Not surprised Rachel Reeves is really upset and angry at being called 'red'.

Too far even for John Harris.

nah Harris automatically retweets anything with the words "Enoch Powell" in it

irl lol

I am sure people who are struggling to get by in Reeves constituency will have sleepless nights thinking about freedom of movement in the EU + UK, especially when the root of all their problems is austerity which she has consistently supported.

Ugh! Tom Watson's speech is x-rated

PLP have sneaked 2 more onto the NEC, this is all getting so depressing I feel like switching it off indefinitely.

Reeves of blood lol

I am only 15 miles down the road from her constituency and 3 times in the last 5 years these England First type morons have tried to light this "tinderbox" she alludes to, every time has been a non-event. Despite these Reeves types predicting race riots. The only thing of note from these events was that one of the idiots from the gaggle of England First protesters, who would no doubt agree with what Reeves says on immigrants, would later murder an MP in cold blood.

"It's what Jo['s killer] would have wanted"

No doubt she will claim Rachel Discrimination

"more in common [with Hitler] than that which divides us"

Er surely Jackie Walker has to go?

She is making Ken Livingstone look good atm

Yep, get rid, great way for this woman to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Both Walker and Reeves should be kicked out.

There was some grudging acceptance that Corbyn's speech was good. Its not their politics, and the 'electrifying delivery' brigade were in full force (no JC doesn't look or sound like you bland grads fuck off) but ppl are giving it an easier time, possibly because no mass of intervention could move Corbyn. Pretty much the only game in town for Labour for the next 18 months or so at the least.

So happy at the immigration line, especially after the racist claptrap from the likes of Reeves.

^^^^^^

Momentum/Cobynista types I follow on twitter etc seem fairly unanimous in their opinion that Walker should go, I don't know if this is an actual consensus though, or just the consensus in my self-selected bubble?

Yes

Was an xp but either way. This is what we're fighting against

Absolutely. Reeves inflammatory hate speak (albeit disguised as concern) is just as appalling as Walker's horrible outbursts. Both of these idiots are not fit for the party.

oh yeah, I took it for granted that pretty much everyone on ilx would agree with that. I was thinking more along the lines of what level of support Walker still has among Momentum members in general

anyone know to where this sincere and convinced chap has disappeared? seems like someone upon whom jeremy corbyn might be able to rely

this is p full-throated full-throated (partly driven by oborne's loathing of blair of course)

he is right to loathe Blair and right about Corbyn's mandate

Coming to post that. Fucking Hannan is the slipperiest, most odious, most cunt of all the Brexiters.

Jesus, what a repulsive cast of characters in that piece.

not sure how well sam kriss goes down on ilx but I agree with him on the (never spoken) terrifying incoherence and unpredictability of how people vote and the concomitant desperate pretentiousness behind the obsession with electability

It's a good article but I don't know why he's surprised that people love Corbin less than his policies - the papers have been against him since Day 1, and people as he says trust personalities over people kit is - if he does do that thing you like, he'll do it wrong because he's Wrong.

I don't know whether papers have been against him since Day 1 explains it. Its a number of things. Corbyn doesn't look like a leader and (he would admit this) wasn't meant to be one.

Was just reading that piece. I kinda like Sam although he wastes energy attacking Nick Cohen or some shit bag easy target but there is a feeling that doing the thinking and doing the doing are a problem for him, me, all of us - which is why his stuff on Harambe and flat earthers reads so much better to me.

But former London mayor Ken Livingstone defended some of Walker’s comments, saying “there’s a difference between ignorance and antisemitism”.

AARGH SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I mean, I know ppl keep asking him about this stuff, but would it kill him to just say "no comment"? who does he think he's helping at this point?

they both seem to have the same anti-Israel state virus that goes way beyond casual anti-semitism, it is like they are fucking possessed.

Article 50 will be triggered by March 2017, according to May.

stoked for the madness

Lee Westwood would approve.

good luck UK

it still might not happen

pma

I keep wondering if May is being all "yep, Brexit, gonna do that on April 1st" to stir the moneyed interests in the UK that will suffer to do what they can to change the "conversation" and ease an exit from Brexit somehow. But this is probably wishful thinking on my part and May is going to steer the country into Brexit and oblivion.

But surely the inevitable subsequent financial fallout of Brexit will ruin the Tories for at least an election or two?

I think they have started to believe their own hype — that everyone will give them what they want and they'll get a Brexit bounce straight into the 2020 election. A breakout session at conference this week has them planning for power until 2035
