remember years ago when i was saying sarah champion was a clown woman with terrible opinions

That's a carefully constructed mask, to cover his ambition and lack of attention to detail.

So you're saying that behind the mask of total incompetence, there's a total incompetent.

It's total incompetence all the way down.

Yes. Boris Johnson is, indeed, a Matryoshka doll of incompetence.

Sarah Champion is another of those feminist women MPs who turned out to have assaulted her husband, claimed she was verbally provoked and felt "vulnerable", and then basically just nothing happened. Pretty common trend tbh. Both her and the Lib Dem one, Layla Moran, were eventually appointed as the parties equality spokespeople. (These aren't the only two.).

Note that she didn't admit it until the police records were dug up, same as Moran, but felt okay in the meantime wailing about violence against women and demanding the government do something about it, calling opponents misogynists, and so on.

Excellent. How many will they kill to get what they want?

I don't usually go click conspiracy bait (plus it's the Times so paywall) but in this case --

Johnson might use Queen's speech to prevent Brexit vote

Remember, nothing says "restoring parliamentary sovereignty" like actively blocking parliamentary oversight.

Well, technically, oversight can stop people from being free to do whatever they want
So yeah, parliamentary sovereignty alright

Shamefully, one of those 10 is Dennis Skinner, who I actually used to like.

Well, apart from that; there are about 20 Tories who would block Brexit so that's a moot point, and also just because someone has the labour badge doesn't mean they are right about something.

And the fact that the woman in the article seriously thinks Farage getting into number 10 is in any way a serious possibility is laughable.

It's not entirely moot, since cancelling brexit would require legislative action, while a no deal brexit requires nothing but inaction.

I think Dennis Skinner recognises that the working class people, which is his constituency pretty much, largely voted for Brexit.

Nigel Farage would come second even in a Nigel Farage lookalike contest if it were held in Westminster.

Apparently Boris Johnson has broken the record for the most money raised by a British politician.

There's only 166,000 Tory party members, what does he need with £702,000? Is he going to buy them all a pint?

Maybe a bottle of water and some Mars bars.

I suppose this is after Brexit drives up the price of everything.

So what is the record for being Prime Minister for the shortest amount of time?

[Dooom35796821595]

So what is the record for being Prime Minister for the shortest amount of time?

George Canning, five months. In the 1800s.

*edit* four months, and it was short because he died.

You guys can’t even fail worse than the Americans.

Isn’t that a good thing?

Besides, longest serving PM was nearly 21 years, all in a single tenure.

That will be a difficult record to break, but Boris probably is the man for the job.

What was that? Sorry, I could not hear you over the majority of the UK now backing remain:

A vote then and the consequences now are 2 different things, especially with the problems the UK face with leaving the EU.

Boris Johnson claimed to be a feminist and also ruled out a deal with the Brexit Party. Obviously both should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

[Dumb Ideologies]

May's used her last major speech to warn of the dangers of hyper-partisanship and inflammatory language. Agree with the message but this is like receiving a hectoring lecture from the former Chernobyl premises manager on how none of us better ever cut corners on health and safety.
