While she was PM I was confidently predicting that she was the worst PM ever but the next one would be worse.

It feels good to get a political prediction correct for once. :lol:


The worrying thing is, what if the next one is worse still?

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

I mean, he's basically saying: "I can't decide between what I think is right... and my brother".

What did Johnson say about the chances of Jo “shafting” him like Ed “shafted” David?

Absolutely not. We don't do things that way, that's a very left-wing thing ... only a socialist could do that to his brother, only a socialist could regard familial ties as being so trivial as to shaft his own brother.

I mean, unbelievable. Only lefties can think like that ... they see people as discrete agents devoid of ties to society or to each other, and that's how Stalin could murder 20 million people.

I mean, with figures like those, Johnson's bizarre threat to resign if he has to go to Europe and the No Deal bill Labour/Parliament have zero reason to give Johnson his October election have they? At all.
