Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

get him charged. dick

sorry about stabby knife talk, but Fuck these arseholes - hope they all die - very slowly.

jail the cunt

Meanwhile on QT, the Tottenham audience absolutely rinsed the right wingers and a 17-year-old boy told Tim Martin to STFU.

some fierce and inspiring women on QT tonight. The young woman earlier on with the braids in a top knot as well as the crew later on.

Definitely. I wasn’t going to watch because of the guests but I saw Tottenham was the setting and N15/N17 did not disappoint.

classic Labour move.

Clear Labour will push this tomorrow. 👇🏼 https://t.co/7C6Q2gz6aO

we need to take the politics out of assault

Is Boris unbeatable? I think, amongst the Tory membership he is...but I would also say that he is deplorable...He has none of the answers to the serious issues in our nation. So he will be beatable, but it will be at a #GeneralElection. On @bbcquestiontime tonight... #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/BKNC03T3E7

Ah but Jo Cox.

This illustrates the new political divide perfectly. Ultra liberals are appalled. Opponents of ultra-liberalism see a self-indulgent protestor breaching security and heading for the Chancellor three years after an MP was assassinated. https://t.co/chM9EpI5uQ

how inconvenient for your party Laura.

I know, she’s so scummy.

Perhaps something damning will emerge that changes things, but on the face of it to me that footage makes Mark Field look like a hero. He took the initiative when others were befuddled & he risked his life (she cld easily hv had a gun or knife) to protect others. Give him a medal

makes u think

have-a-go-Lolico

outcome of brecon and radnorshire recall petition expected today. LDs widely touted to win that by election if it happens. this reduces BJ’s working majority to two

xps Wait is Laura K. bad not good? (I only occasionally see her doing stand ups outside of Westminster tbh)

awful tory party stenographer ime. even bobby pesto found a half decent line on this

Mark Field should resign. #Girls4Gove denounces all forms of violence or physical force against women. The only time a man should touch a woman is if he is touching her heart — just like @MichaelGove has done for so many of us up and down the country. Women love Michael Gove!

at least there are some sensible conservative voices out there :p

If Mark Field is charged and found guilty of assault could he hold on to his seat?

Forget twitter arguments either way, there's a video here.

you would suspect that that would also precipitate a recall petition

Iain Martin, another right wing Tory tosser from Paisley - not that you'd guess where he's from from the accent.

Foreign media outlets are also reporting on Mark Field's outburst. nagl, to say the least.

Field is basically the MP for Zone 1 and there are only about 4000 votes in it.

Suspended now.

Lol

highlights from the IPPR report on tHe NOrtHeRn POwErhOUsE - https://www.ippr.org/blog/the-northern-powerhouse-5-years-in:

+ between 2009/10 and 2017/18 the North has seen a £3.6 billion cut in public spending, while the South East and the South West together saw a £4.7 billion rise (in real terms). London also saw a cut in spending, but by far less, at £256 million.

+ 200k more children living in poverty in the north since 2014

+ more jobs, more low paid jobs

+ more mayors & combined authorities (w/ little power)

*that's* what I like about Osborne's legacy... absolutely nothing.

lol when calz confused frank field w/dobson i was briefly like dobbo is not the worst -- he was reluctantly pushed into standing against ken and ken is kinda bad not good anyway -- but by all means drop a dime on FF in place of mark field

outcome of brecon and radnorshire recall petition expected today.

It's passed.

200k more children living in poverty in the north since 2014

It could be worse :p

Xps

For some reason my abiding memory of Dobson is of him telling a reporter to "get stuffed" when an impertinent question was asked about his beard or something to do with his appearance.

absolutely ludicrous to suggest Frank Field would have physically assaulted a protester when he's perfectly capable of placing them under a hypnotic trance and then sucking their blood at leisure

lolz

From what I remember about Frank Dobson his campaign was like 90% folornly explaining to reporters that he really did want the job, honestly, and wasn't secretly miserable that Blair had decided to try and shuffle him out of Parliament.

lol, it was either him or Hodge they were trying to fit up for that one.

well at least Hodge enjoyed the shouting down at lefties to stfu element of the job!

banner day for the discourse

MP Bob Stewart defends @MarkFieldUK on @BBCWorldatOne "only way you can control someone in these circumstances is possibly by the collar -she wasn't wearing one, that's why his hand was round her neck. If he'd touched her anywhere else he'd have been deemed highly inappropriate"

— Allie Hodgkins-Brown (@AllieHBNews) June 21, 2019

boris begs to differ probably.

Bob Stewart a known authority on hands-on inappropriateness where the opposite sex are concerned

bob definitely doesn’t think women are equivalent to dogs

he's clearly thought about this a lot

As opposed to more appropriate methods like grabbing her by the throat?

the UK's pretty terrible and all, but I do sometimes feel relieved that I'm not in the US where all these delusional weirdos would get to carry guns around with them

The only thing the tories have got right in the last decade is keeping borderline psychotic, jobsworth security guards on minimum wages/zero hours contracts - fuck every last one of them.

so many gfs under so many patios :|

:p

when you are permanently walking about with a severely disabled adult you really do wrack up some hatred for security guards - generalising of course - but idgaf about the nice ones either - cos I've never actually met them!
