The Politics Thread 3.0

I'm not sure you can blame Rees-Mogg entirely for his attitudes. Being morally sickened by sexual abuse would have been beaten out of him within the first term at Eton.

Bojo is back to playing a longer game in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in pretty strong strength during the next Tory Leadership contest.

Not that I want him as leader, I just think a lot can change in 3 years.

[Rex Kramer]

My long term hope for Boris is male pattern baldness but I think that ship has sailed.

[Lex-Man]

Surely Boris Johnson can't try for the leadership again!

[Moggy]

Surely Boris Johnson can't try for the leadership again!

I don't think he (officially!) ever has.

That's true, he was stabbed in the back before getting the chance to throw his hat in the ring.

Many of the papers sticking the knife into May tomorrow.

Telegraph: May's Brexit plans in disarray
Mirror: Tory Mogg - abortion is wrong even after rape.
The Times: Labour is smashing the Tories.
Metro: Abortion is wrong even after rape.
FT: Executives resist Downing Street's 'strong-arm' bid for Brexit backing.

As usual the Mail and express are ignoring any issues for the tories and going with stories about doctors not taking on new patients and the weekly story about statins being a wonderpil. The DM do mention Rees Mogg on the front page but it's about how they admire his principles.

[Squinty]

I'm not sure if you can admire the principles of a man with such horrible views. It doesn't matter if he has principles, the views are still crap.

[Rex Kramer]

The Daily Mail have always liked people with strong principles.

{Tweets about JRM}

One does protest too much Activate.

[Squinty]

Apparently there were people in Activate who went rogue.

It's a total disaster.

Oh, I seen a video with one of the members of it and I couldn't stop laughing. I must try and find it.

[Dual]

That last tweet lmao

It's like something out of The Thick of It

[Lex-Man]

I'm actually impressed, Activate has been more of a gooseberry fool show than I thought it would have been the first time I heard about it. I thought they would just be pumping out awful tweets, but this is kind of beautifully awful.

[Hexx]

What the hell is Activate?

And why is one @Activ8 and one @Activate?

[DML]

That last tweet lmao

It's like something out of The Thick of It

Tories trying to be 'down with the kids'.



Its interesting how they've managed to be a gooseberry fool Momentum. I didn't think that was actually possible, its made me doubt reality for the 100th time this last couple of years. Politics is a strawberry floating joke, you gotta laugh or you'd cry!

[Garth]

What the hell is Activate?

Cringeworthy.
