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

rip ken livingstone

Joins all the anti trans people in jumping before pushed. Good riddance.

Not literally, though I had to google to make sure. (xp)

can Kate Bush write him another theme song

there goes a ken, ahhh

Kate only writes for Theresa May these days.

I heard a Jewish guy from the JLC who had initially described the meeting with Corbyn as disappointing last month, saying he was impressed that Corbyn had quietly made a few changes recently, as discussed at the the meeting - but he was impressed he had carried them through, despite seeming a bit fuzzy and noncommittal to him at the time. This was on Sunday aft on R4, obv the BBC don't make a big deal when he does something right. But not before time they fucked off that embarrassing imbecile KL, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the "changes" he was referring to.

Chris Williamson sticking up for KL on R4 tonight ε/̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿ ̿(◡︵◡)

Jewdas post celebrating the fact also full of KL fans complaining in the comments.

I heard a Jewish guy from the JLC

god help me i can't stop reflexively reading 'jlc' as 'justin lee collins' every time i see it

Ken is not the leader of the JLC

it's true, justin lee collins is his own boss

Chris Williamson also leading the respectful Twitter tributes to the fallen Ken. Fuck that guy, seriously.

he also appears on RT, he's complete trash.

I'm sure there's a job for Ken at RT if he wants it.

CW is someone Corbyn needs to execute right now, because he is bringing the party into disrepute on a daily basis, and every embarrassment is reported as "CW - one of Corbyn's closest allies".

Ian McKenzie complains that his tweet about ISIS beheading Emily Thornberry has been "taken out of context"

luv2hurtle towards a totally fucked economy

Bank of England governor Mark Carney says Brexit means real household incomes are about £900 lower than forecast in May 2016, "which is a lot of money"

Ian McKenzie: not the sharpest scimitar in the beheading kit

lmao

Someone posted his responses when this came up last year, and his literal first defence wasn’t “rape jokes are bad” but “well Thornberry IS over 30”.

Amazing the hills some will die on. Nothing wrong with making jokes about violence towards female MPs less than a year after one of them was brutally murdered, nope!

double lmao @ (((parentheses)))

Kinda striking how few people even within her own party seem to give a fuck about, or even remember that.

all i'm going to say is this guy doesn't seem acquainted with some basic elements of social communication

These Centrist thugs are bringing the Labour Party into disrepute >:(

this is an interesting piece imo. amongst other stuff it flags up the same concerns with post-45 nationalization that my dad used to voice - "they took over the companies but they left the same old bosses in charge"

good stuff ty

staaaaaaate

gosh it's almost like tories have never given a second thought to anything ireland-related in their lives

Not since the bally rotters blew up Airey Neave, what?

I'd be amazed if Karen Bradley had ever been to NI before her appointment.

Or after.

there's a swelling feeling that Brexit may bring about a united Ireland.

maybe I'm just being incredibly naive.

Long term maybe but it’s a logistical and economic nightmare in any term and that’s not even thinking about incorporating the unionist population somehow.

I can’t remember if I posted the link here or not but May supposedly has doubts about winning a border poll - which the GFA says is grounds to have one.

More joy is demanded by @RuthDavidsonMSP and fun. I agree. #joydivision #onward

A comfort to know there are women like this in the tory party

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has expressed his own distaste for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

“Jeremy Corbyn is not a socialist,” he told Event magazine. “He’s a communist. Be honest about that and see how many votes you get, Jeremy, because otherwise, you’re going to be moving in to Downing Street under a false premise.”

says the rich dunce whose bandmate is a creepy old paedo, and wasn't very honest about it!

who frontman in 'failing to die before he gets old' shocker

Daltrey bought a home in Los Angeles in the early-2000s. Daltrey also owns a house in Sturminster Newton, which appeared on Grand Designs.[episode needed] Daltrey is a supporter of Arsenal F.C.[98] He supports Britain leaving the European Union[99] and is a supporter of the Conservative Party.

if Dignitas are ever doing a bring a friend twofer deal, he can bring captain paedo-research with him and at least they can try and make amends, if a little late.

Arsenal supporter is the worst, of course.

The cunt's from West London.

that's even worse than Townsend's heinous crimes!

People who include what football team someone supports alongside their homeowner status and voting habits are the real enemy.
