Well, I hate Boris and all those Tory cunts even more after that tonight. They really are a despicable bunch of fucking arseholes one and all.

My sentiments exactly.

I’ve never understood how normal, working class people can look at these clearly elitist old Etonians and think “yep those are the guys who understand my day-to-day life and who are going to look after my best interests”.

And yet so many people do.  Just don’t get it.

I suppose i'm what's classed as a floating voter, don't have any allegiances to a party and have voted for all 3 of the main parties during my voting life.

Havent a bloody clue who I'd vote for if there was an election tomorrow.  It doesn't really matter as I live in one of the safest tory seats going and that won't ever change.  Only hope would be if Labour/Lib Dems came up with some pact so only one of them stood as essentially the anti-tory vote, even then they would still be about 5-10k short.

Quote from: michael
Do you think the Tory's would get a majority in a General Election?? He's not exactly uniting the nation is he!!! I reckon it would be a hung parliament.

I honestly wouldn't like to call it. it's so hard to tell how many are swept up with it all (pro Boris, anti-Corbyn), and whether brexit/anti-brexit feeling would override national  concerns when voting.

I think he's got a better chance by doing what he's doing, even though it's clearly dispicable and damaging.

looks like he's got a plan to get around the Benn bill.

genuine question, what happens if he ignores/the spirit of it at the legal challenge can't be done in time?

That display last night was a new low, even for the despicable cunt that is Johnson. "Pass my Brexit and you might be safer from being murdered by the far right nutters I'm whipping up into a frenzy". Fucking horrible.

As James O'Brien noted last evening...

'You started off falling for some harmless guff about ‘sovereignty’ & ‘British fish’ but you’ve ended up defending a man who maligned the memory of a murdered MP & insulted her friends. In parliament. Time for a rethink, surely?'

One thing that was rather rammed home by the spectacle last night was Johnson (and Cox who was the more than willing warm up act) can basically say what they like, blatantly lying and no one is allowed to reply, it was telling that the Prime Minister can dismiss an actual literal murder as “humbug”, but if anyone were to - accurately - label him a “liar”, the Speaker would have to eject them from the House.

Johnson's lying and stoking the flames does all though serve as a useful distraction from the growing corruption scandal around him apparently lashing out taxpayers' money to a nubile young blonde he was getting "technology lessons" from while mayor. Presumably "technology lessons" is the new "Ugandan discussions"?

Possibly so, I wonder whether his rattled and tetchy state last evening may have been a tantrum in having to come home early from New York, where he had planned to be in his hotel suite discussing 'technological issues' with a couple of new friends.

And in news that will surprise absolutely no-one, Gove has been caught out lying to the House about the preparedness of leading businesses for Brexit:

Gove clearly hammered when in the chamber.

I've no doubt that the press will be all over it tomorrow. Just as much as when Abbott had a can of mojito on a train.

How do you tell whether Gove is hammered or not?  His natural state looks like me on the lash.

This was clearly alcohol hammered, as opposed to his usual coked-up hammered

An interesting read; https://bylinetimes.com/2019/09/26/cabinet-ethics-probe-into-johnsons-hedge-fund-backers/

Which raises two questions.

1. If leaving without a deal is fine, why are sponsors of Johnson betting serious money on British business/economy/currency going down the toilet?

2. If Johnson received funding from people who will make millions from crashing us out..isn’t that a serious conflict of interest and might be it, ‘unlawful’?
