Sorry, mate, I should've made it clear that I wasn't criticising your post...I was just moaning in general.
Westminster Politics
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Boris just winding everyone up now with his use of 'surrender act'.
I disagree with the language being used. Dictator just demonstrates laziness and the use of soundbites.
It's the same with Johnson's usage of surrender act.
Can anyone say that today, anything has been achieved in the commons beyond hurling abuse at each other?
No.
He's got absolutely nothing beyond fake outrage.
Labour MP Paula Sherriff just had a withering, emotional outburst in the Commons, saying Johnson should be “ashamed” of his conduct and that MPs had been threatened and put in danger, and should enjoy more respect from the prime minister.
The PM rebuffed her remarks with blunt indifference.
This from the HuffPost’s Paul Waugh:
Wow. Boris Johnson responds to an emotional plea by Paula Sheriff to stop using perjorative and 'dangerous' language like 'Surrender Act' (citing memory of Jo Cox and referring to new death threats to MPs), by saying her remarks are mere "Humbug".
Total fury on Labour benches.

Hard to believe the bloke who has said and done indefensible shit that has seen him sacked upwards to his dream job, doesn't feel the need to stop doing and saying indefensible shit.
Exactly. Boris is a complete cnut, has always been a complete cnut and will always be a complete cnut.
British history is replete with shameless chancers like him, flitting from top job to top job & caring about nothing bar himself & his own advantage.
@Dobba As a staunch Corbyn hard left supporter, what compromises would you make to see BJ chucked out of office? ergo, how far would you go? A temporary GNU? A replacement labour leader? Or just a GE?
I thought May couldn't be outdone as the worst PM in modern times. This cnut takes the biscuit.
As we stand now, General Election. GNU and replacement leader offer me nothing as none of the people suggested would have any interest in the transformative policies I'm looking for and seeing at the conference this year. I mean, the main 'Labour' head being favoured for the temporary job tried to look tougher than the Tories on welfare the last time she got given that job.
Even fangirl Laura's putting the boot in on Bunga-bunga Boris:
Laura Kuenssberg said:
Even the assistant editor of the fecking Spectator is shocked by his conduct.
Plenty of time between now and their Christmas party where they'll all be up his arse again.
Almost certainly.
He may not, but given his circumstances, I think BJ's bossed it tonight. Despite tonnes of ammo, opposition have barely laid a glove on him.
I doubt he has lost even one voter tonight, and many will have been inspired by his bullish resoluteness. He has certainly been getting personal populism 101 tuition from Trump/Bannon, and anything he says is purely for his base. Ditto AG Cox from this morning.
Anyways, its all moot and won't matter once GE campaigning starts.
F*ckng stroll on...
You do know I hate BJ, right? But the point is, the only people outraged by him, are people who were already outraged before.
Yeah, I agree. This won't do much political damage. His political damage will be done if we do not leave the EU on the 31st October.
Exactly. I feel like the more he winds them up the happier he is, because theyl spend too much time getting wound up by frivolous wording rather than actually grilling him.
Even there, feck knows if it will actually damage the guy. He'll just bleat about remoaner MPs and the courts defying the will of the people and people will lap it up.
This government is extraordinary. I don't think they could order a pizza without use of the "help".
VONC, surely

Obviously should be taken with a pinch of salt, but I think it would do a lot of damage.
Will someone wipe that smug off Priti Patel's face please.
I hope you are right. My concern is that after a few more weeks of tabloids and Tory MPs pushing the blame onto everyone else, those numbers might start to shift again. It's hard to pin down a man who as the quote above puts it is an "absolutely hollowed-out human".
I mean, the state of this:
Let him blabber on but don’t let him goad you into getting an election pre Oct 31
The thing is, what does she have to be smug about?`
It's literally like a chav being smug to police to look tough in front of their friends. They just lost in court ffs
These people are pathetic and how anyone can still have any sort of respect for them amazes me.I feel that a VONC, extension and GE declaration is the safest option.
I'm sure BoJo will find a way to wriggle out of the law (either by resignation, complete affront for it or some other hi-jink) and that would potentially leave the opposition with potentially too little time to react.

Do we know how that Brexit party % might distribute and therefore what its likely impact would be?
Oh right. So the new tactic if you can't prorogue parliament is to to be such a complete cnut to everyone that they just don't come in.
Someone put an end to this tit and his gormless sycophants.
Watched a repeat of Cox’s performance. Considering the situation, he was ruthless
Creepy, isn't it?
