In the news

Obviously a done deal like EU membership.. Though the idea of the current wallahs in Holyrood having any say in foreign affairs and defence is truly frightening. The fiasco around Liberty Steel proves their utter incompetence.

“Like”

I would be sacked for drinking wine at work

Don't forget the rest of the cunts in the background.

I have reached outrage fatigue and now just accepted England and Aberdeen will still vote for those twat face cunts.

Well, with a bit of luck Aberdeen won't be able to vote for English Tories soon.

I saw the zoomed in one and thought it's not actually that bad compared to all the other shit, me and the guys at work would stay for a beer after, sometimes even find a bench and do the same, it was the only time you'd see anyone and you'd literally spent that day and every other day with those same people. Thinking about this is much worse though, there's loads more people working there and there's loads more in this photo hanging around, I reckon there's more round that corner too, they will all be mixing back and forth at some point outside of this brief snapshot, Prime Miniscunt has his most recent missus with him and these are all supposed to be setting a fucking example, not some underpaid handful of bike shop staff where half of them live alone and don't see anyone else yet still take more care.

Boris will ride this out. 80% of the population will go (in their heads) “we had a few beers with mates when we shouldn’t have done - and Boris wasn’t even at the parties being investigated”

He’ll crack out another baby or marriage to distract and it will all blow over once he deflects the relevant decision onto Whitty and cancels family get togethers for Christmas (Phouar!)

The thickertariat that elected him will continue to back the buffoon.

There's a lot going on though that does seem to be having an impact - look at the North Shropshire result.

I think that shows, more than anything else, that having "got Brexit done" has now lost its power, and given that is pretty much the only thing holding authoritarian, big-state/high intervention new intake MP's together with the lunatic libertarians in the south we may have an entertaining year ahead of us.

Haven’t been over that way since leaving my job there.

Worked in Stockley Park for years. Can't say I miss the area.

Me too but then I’m just an unelected bureaucrat who works in local government

All I have in my diary that week “ 1 hour walk with [my] kids”. And he has “drinks on terrace with Dom and Carrie and colleagues” . Mind you, the walk was more fun ffs

All I have in my diary that week “ 1 hour walk with [my] kids”.

Wot no Thurs clap, or Bin Night?

I got clap round the back of the bins on a Thurs Night before, never again.

Boris will ride this out

No he won’t. The reason he’s in this shit is because the press have it in for him, and the press have it in for him because they want him gone and replaced with whatever head of whatever Tory faction it is they’ve currently got the horn for.

As per usual, the Tory party is inflicting its internal machinations on the entire country and pretending like it’s some kind of organic politics that’s happening.

Very much this; it's all very carefully planned. There's an element of night of the long knives where they're settling some scores either to weaken bids for the leadership or just to damage people but the main target is Boris.

When Trump was elected I was pessimistic but thought he might surprise me and that self-interest and national-interest might coincide (obvs not). The Tory party doesn't even give me the feeling that there's a chance that they might surprise me, except in a bad way. The UK feels like it's going to have a rough ride before things get better (assuming the opposition doesn't totally fuck it all up).

Away from Downing Street, it's carnage a Pret:

I was particularly distraught to hear Brendan's story. Apparently; by mid-afternoon mango and pineapple preference is often not available. People just shouldn't have to live like that in this day and age.

I wonder how Brendan would have coped in the trenches

That links to an article about Pret stopping paying Staff for their breaks the CEO said

we've had to make some difficult decisions about how we reward our hard-working teams.

Cunts

is bottom-right working? Physio perhaps, tending to a turned ankle?

He's certainly trying to (and will continue to try to) ride this out but I'm not sure it's achievable this time....Actually, weirdly, going combative 'no one likes or trusts me, I don't care' 'yep, I'm a liar....ooo is that a lie?' might be his only chance of surviving!

I suspect Brendan would have been rejected by the military on the grounds of him being a pointless sack of shit.

Then again, I failed 'O' Level mindfulness.

Don’t feel bad about it ‘O’ level Mindfulness was a lot more difficult than GCSE Mindfulness

I'm almost impressed by the brass neck of Raab to try and justify this as a work meeting on the rounds this morning. He knows he's lying, we know he's lying, the interviewers know he's lying - but he just carries on regardless. 'Some of them are wearing suits' seems to be quite a weak line of justification though.
