Sir Keir must have pushed Milne away from the flight deck. Again.

I wish they'd put Keir in charge, Labour would fucking flatten the Tories with him at the helm.

"Jeremy Corbyn asks if the prime minister is "prepared to compromise to get through this crisis"

Theresa May replies it is time "Parliament face the consequences" of their votes on #Brexit

Astute political analysis just in from my chum on WhatsApp.

(He's not normally given to such outbursts, but he's been getting very, very frustrated with this whole Brexit thing.)

Labour wonâ€™t support SO24 debate on article 50 letter
— Ross Kempsell (@rosskempsell) March 20, 2019

Amazing how every time he uses words he says he opposes the government's approach but every time he has to use actions, somehow, nothing happens.

I assume that's in his (and many other politicians') job description.

Real life po!itics and Yes, Minister are becoming more indistinguishable.

Fuck me have you seen the letter asking for the Article 50 extension, it reads like a 12 year old's note explaining to his teacher why he hasn't done his homework.

We sure are taking back control!

Hearthly, your chum's not wrong.

Theresa May in response to question from Yvette Cooper wrote:

What is first and foremost in the national interest, is for this country to leave the European Union

Surely at this point someone should have wrestled her to the ground, for the sake of her own and the country's safety?

"You can have a short extension, but only if your MPs can agree something before the original deadline. You utter gibbon-lickers."

It looks like May's deal or no deal.

Top tip: if you're the Prime Minister, you get to decide who is in the room. If you're not the Prime Minister, you should be fucking proud to be in the room.

I wouldn't mind booking a cheap holiday, there is a good deal on Wowcher for a 4 day spa break in Malta.
I can't order it because I'd be going in a couple of months and who the fuck knows if we will be allowed to travel to Europe at that point!

Malta is lovely. The EU have said that even if there’s a no deal Brexit, flights will be allowed. Queues could be shit though.

We are going to Austria in July which could also be affected.

I'm 90% sure it would be fine, but who really knows at the moment?

I wish for her a short career and a long life spent watching every historian in the world write at great length and in furious, forensic detail about what a fuckwit she is.

The Prime Minister just said that I didn't want to take part in the European elections. Funnily enough, I do.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22266

Does she honestly believe that the public want what she is pushing, and it is us against parliament, and she is our champion? How is it possible to be that deluded?

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 5149

I genuinely don’t know what she thinks she is achieving at this point.

I don't think we were her target audience. Unless most of you are actually in your latter years and regularly attend local Conservative Party socials.

Not only is Corbyn just as responsible for all of this shitstorm as Theresa May, he’s also showing himself to be as temperamentally unsuitable for the job of prime minister as May with his very public actions.

Protesting and saying other people are doing a bad job is really easy. I’m not sure he genuinely wants to be in charge.

Can you talk me through how the elite are going to realise this? Do you think, after Corbyn walked out, they all said to each other, "Wow, that was an insurrection against neoliberalism. Anyway pass the comte will you?"

Like Trump, Corbyn wouldn’t deal with the responsibility well at all, and like also Trump he seems thin-skinned and unable to deal with criticism. He’d govern purely to appeal to his base and be incredibly divisive, also like Trump. And May.
