the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

But if the government wins the vote then they’ll get the opposition hammering them with accusations of covering up. The Labour whips twitter account says LBC can’t find a single Tory MP willing to defend this on the radio.

red-letter day for our strong and stable government, trebles all round

Almost half a million women were not invited for breast screening over a decade because of IT failures, Jeremy Hunt expected to say later today. Huge failure for NHS and big questions about why it wasn't picked up

lol, Corbyn opened pmqs by asking May if she felt guilty that Rudd had to resign.

like may has any ability to feel guilt or shame, c'mon

Fun to get your Voight Kampff questions in tho

may is definitely an earlier nexus model, her affect is just all wrong

yougov suggesting that the windrush scandal seems unlikely to significantly change the public's views on immigration

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2018/04/27/where-public-stands-immigration/

when ppl hostile to immigration discuss windrush, as well as the insistence on a distinction between 'good' and 'bad' migrants, there's a tendency to interpret the whole thing as proof of how the system is chaotic and broken and therefore needs to be made *stricter* - like when people complain about the police going after drivers who break the speed limit instead of the "real criminals", they fact that the authorities have expelled british citizens who have been living here for decades is taken as evidence that they're soft on illegal immigrants, and confirms their existing opinion we need to get 'tougher'? Part of the challenge is a way to frame windrush that doesn't feed into the narrative of 'chaos' which is a driver of support for more draconian immigration policies?

or just exterminate racists, either way's good

sorry, that's unhelpful, we need to find a way of understanding and reaching out to thick, ignorant, hateful cunts

soref's link is what I was trying to post from Peter Pannier's protected Twitter, thx

americans on twitter are discussing Sajid Javid because of this racist Alex Jones tweet and one of them has has just pointed out that Javid looks like a bald Tony Danza and now I can't unsee it

i don't think i can live in a world where alex jones gets mad, red and nude and weighs in on uk politics tbh

Bad enough having Fred do it.

in other news, check out this obsequious lickspittle

Wellingborough MP Peter Bone announced during Prime Minister’s Questions that “In 331 days, 11 hours and 14 minutes and 22 seconds the Prime Minister will be leading us out of the European Union.

He continued: “My question to the Prime Minister is, in 332 days time, will she came to Wellingborough where she will be carried should height through the streets to the echoing of cheering crows and I will be able to show her the site where a statue to the Brexit queen will be erected?”

'cheering crows' is presumably a typo but i kinda like the idea of theresa may being carried on mp's shoulders through the empty streets of wellingborough which echo with the sound of thousands of cawing crows and nothing else

xxxp
I don't think that loud American feller seems to now that Javid has publicly declared his desire to live in Israel one day, and doesn't face Mecca very often, either!

know

I'm not red.

alex jones in 'knowledge deficit' shocker

javid was born in rochdale ffs, he's more english than i am

hope Brexit Day turns into some kind of bonfire night thing where we all burn a foreign in effigy

why restrict ourselves to mere effigies, really

xxpost

A birther like Alex Jones isn't going to go for that Rochdale story.

https://mobile.twitter.com/guidofawkeshate This account traces the comments on right wing sites, they were the shitshow you’d expect. Make Alex Jones seem almost reasonable.

makes you wonder why Javid wants to work with/for these cunts

because he's rich and wants to stay that way

Handy to know an approximate percentage for current U.K. gammon levels.

meanwhile

The Conservatives have distributed a local election campaign leaflet urging voters to support them in Thursday’s poll because of “ISSUES WE’VE DONE” for “AREA NAME”.

The template, which was designed to be tailored to each local area, was printed and distributed in Ilford, east London, without any of the details having been filled in.

As a result, it encourages people to vote Conservative because of “WHAT WE’RE DOING/HAVE DONE FOR WARD/AREA NAME”.

The Tories have legit brought back ricketts among children fwiw.

no doubt they'd say there are complex and myriad reasons for the return of ricketts.

xp Nimco Ali is a WEP member and has canvassed for one of her brothers, who is a Tory candidate somewhere.

Nimco – who joined Labour when Gordon Brown was leader – said: “I’m happy to back the Tory party to keep Corbyn and his Shadow Cabinet out of power.

Bloody champagne capitalists.

Idly hoping for some sort of Green resurgence today

good luck uk

local authority elections are the most meaninglesstest sham in the general meaningless sham of democracy

which is a good thing, obv

voted for the councillors whose poster featured them crouching serious-faced pointing at a ballot paper on the ground
