The On-going Never-ending Brexit Story Part Four

First!

 

I'm offended that there are no poppies in that drawing.

 

The Grim Reaper from Argentina is having a career day.

 

Hoovering down old threads like Maradona in a niteclub bathroom.

 

Happy sixth Brexit anniversary.

 

My current thinking is that if Starmer gets fined by Durham police and then resigns, Johnson will call a snap election before Labour have chance to select a new leader.
He's desperate, with the select committee starting shortly and more stories coming out about his behaviour with Carrie while foreign secretary.

 

And what about the 999/1000 universes where Starmer doesn't get fined? I still think Johnson is desperate enough for a snap election.

 

Yeah, but we'll probably be waiting a bit longer for that - December again maybe, to try an supress turn out. I think that in the unlikely situation of Starmer resigning over a fine, then he'll call an election within days.

 

Deputy Chief Whip has gone, but getting drunk and groping people is apparantly perfectly acceptable as he will not be having the whip removed.

Tory source says Pincher will not face any inquiry or disciplinary process: 'The PM thinks he's done the decent thing by resigning. There is no need for an investigation and no need to suspend the whip' https://t.co/ZhLm1WAhXE

Pincher has had to have a minder at any events to stop him getting drunk and doing this sort of thing.

 

The press giving more time to Angela Raynor going to the opera than Johnson being caught getting noshed off in his office while Foreign Secretary.
Sums it all up really.

 

They can't risk another by-election. So out goes another constitutional guardrail.

 

If they can't risk Tamworth, with it's 43 point majority.....

 

Sums up the current state of the Tory party. More scandals than the Major government, and that's just from the PM alone.

I agree with the Porn Man. The Blow-Job Man should remove the whip from the Groping Man. https://t.co/DdjsMiuoey

That's not tactical voting. It's tactical voting Rewards Card all ten punches.

 

Oh...

"We'll do X better, Y new, and Z competently" -- all I want to hear any Labour MP say. Except Thornberry she's the wild card you need.

 

Baby steps. No need to say where it will eventually lead - just that you'll do it better than the current mob. We all know it will end up with closer alignment and likely rejoining the CU and SM at some point, but no there's point in spelling out any timetable for it as it will just happen over time once the realists are in charge.
