Pretty sure he's been appointed to placate the "gun boats in the Channel" lot, who are worried we'll end up having to accept free movement as a condition of future trade deals.

[Squinty]

It's them unelected bureaucrats again.

[That's not a growth]

"Look, none of us wanted him. But he somehow negotiated his way into the position, so we felt it proved he knew what he was doing so just went with it."

[Lex-Man]

Even if he was a trade negotiation expert, he's a climate change denier so that automatically makes him an awful fit for current trade negotiations

I think it's worse that he's not a trade expert. I mean he shouldn't have made it to the point where we're talking about his other disqualifying attributes the guys CV should have been thrown in the bin as he's unqualified.

You can make a pretty good argument millennial nostalgia is holding back videogames. For the first time, you have a large demographic with plenty of disposal cash that the industry can play on the nostalgia of. Which they do, because it is lucrative.

The recent Mario Direct and 3D All-Stars announcement made me come back to this quote because bloody hell it looks prescient now.

Oh and Abbott is a turd but that should be obvious.

Vance going full racist on twitter. How does this banana split still have an account?

No idea who he is but that one tweet shows him to be subhuman. Even if you don't like the footballer, his aim is simple, to take kids out of poverty. That's a wonderful thing to aim for. To go against that is genuinely evil.

Don't even know who this vile scumbag is.

[Blue Eyes]

He's a nobody. Somehow he's been given a blue tick and free reign to constantly post more than near-the-knuckle but not quite ultra-explicit racist bullshit. Twitter is a disgrace. I've been banned for calling people like him absolute banana splits yet they are absolutely rife on there. It's astonishing.

No, no the Tories won't do evil things if we vote them in to power, it's all a load of loony lefty nonsense!

It doesn't make sense to not implement these changes, even from an economic perspective. People aren't going to buy new build flats if they can't trust the construction.

A couple of months ago they shone green lights at 10 Downing Street. What more do you want?

Tory landlords and property developers not wanting to pay for the fire safety upgrades.

[Jenuall]

That green lighting on 10 Downing street just makes it look like a pantomime villains house.

Which is pretty accurate really.

Labour suggested them and so they are bad.

[captain red dog]

Lawsuits are the only thing these people will understand. I hope the Grenfell survivors have something in the pipeline for that. The company that owns that building should be sued out of existence.

They should also be done for corporate manslaughter. Its one of the most open and shut cases I have ever seen and it is scary that nobody has even been charged.

Tory land lords don't want the cost of upgrading their rentals.
