The Home Secretary calling another person elite is quite something.
Westminster Politics

Diane abbot standing in for Corbyn at pmq's apparently... Bit of a message that thornberry is persona non Grata for wanting to remain in the EU...
She's up against raab...
I have a feeling pmq's is about to reach new lows

The way Priti Patel smiles in that sinister way during her speech is creepy. I can't believe she's been advised that that's a good thing to do.
And she constantly looks like she's seeking approval. Says something, nods to herself in agreement and then totally lights up once someone starts clapping.
Reminds me of a school girl really proud that she just learned to read and gets to do so in front of class. Then again I do get why tories would like that...

Boasting about ending free movement for people doesn't sound good.
It's utterly shameful.
Could she not have said something like "limiting the unsustainable levels of immigration" or something? Like I don't agree with her no matter the wording but surely there's a way of coming across as more human.
The only difference between you and those gammon blokes who call LBC is your position on the EU. Was this just blind luck ?
Even during this entire shitstorm it's one of the oddest speeches I've seen.
"We will finally end freedom of movement..." Because freedom and movement are notoriously awful things.
Indeed. If she wants to dog whistle to her far right audience then there are much more obvious ways of making it sound like a win.
And as for the North London metropolitan liberal elite comment, wow. Surely she's just taking the piss now?

Your missing the point that these lines are fed to them largely by Cummings team. It's just to create a very obvious targeted brexit related victory line.
The entire conference has come across very weird. Nearly every speech is just spouting general election lines usually an attack on Labour rather than any actual policy
Speech 'all about rhetoric' so far
They haven't got any right ? Ok they might throw some funds at certain towns in the hope to win them over in next election but really this is the only Cummings and the tories have. Which isn't completely nothing as there is a purely anti socialist vote out there(Middle class old white men)but its really not much.
No detail in the plans whatsoever. Vague comments on the Irish border but nothing concrete. Amazing to think we are now only weeks away from the deadline.
Worth saying Diane Abbott is now the first black person to represent her party at PMQ's in British history.
Did he just propose to launch Corbyn into space ?
Diane Abbott in cabinet is a truly frightening prospect. She's a complete idiot.
This is like the comedy warmup bloke before the actual speaker gives their speech.
Shame she's a moron
Your a copper right ?
I am. Which means I'm legally agreed to be an expert in deciding if a person is drunk and an expert in identifying morons!
And what do you do outside of the station?
Wait for a taxi?
Just save lives, tackle armed robbers, rescue vulnerable kids etc. You know. The normal 9-5 kinda gig.
Is Liz Truss actually wearing a truss? Weird thing round her waist.
The tories always make Corbyn seem so much cooler than he actually is.
Amazed you find time to ever post on here.
From BJ's speech...
Is he sacking Michael Gove then? The nerve of this lot.

Even Superman found time to write the odd article for the Planet. It's what we do.
Diane Abbott PMQs - what a nice bit of lunchtime comedy!

Is that Russ' wife?
The ability to live and work in any European country was one of the main reasons I wanted to become a British citizen. Looking at it from the outside, it is such an incredible gift to be able to do that. Patel is a cnut.
How can someone be so inward-looking to think ending it is a good thing?

my dislike of the position and direction of the current Tory party is sadly only equalled by my dislike of the current state of labour and the Lib Dem’s.
Literally not one moderate or reasonable party to align with nowadays.
I watch Boris and JRM and cringe and then watch John McDonell and JC and whince at the thought of what they’d do if in power.

Who would you prefer led either party?
I'd bet heavily on a propagation next week, probably for the whole week.
if they were serious about negotiating a deal then that would be locical so that they had no westminister distractions in the run up to the EU summit...
that said if you were determined to try and avoid asking for an extension then perhaps waiting a week would be more logical
Will the queen even grant it though - if i were her Id bugger off on holiday and turn the mobile off and stay well out of it
