More Sun Tzu stuff that Cummings forgets

A leader leads by example, not by force

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.

Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Miljah Perhaps they were Leavers who see no issue with parliament being prorogued for 4 days post conferences....or perhaps they want to leave the EU at the end of October. Perhaps they know that what they think is immaterial, and that their elected representatives are doing their best to overturn the referendum result, and nothing they can do will change it.

I think he just doesn't care!

OMG, I'm watching again... I need to finish my mat leave and go back to work, I think!

(And the most ironic thing is, I won't go into details, but my work is distinctly Brexit-related...)

I only managed about 15 minutes of the debate last night.

Yes! My husband (foreign, hates living in the UK, hates our politics) can now seemingly identify every MP and their constituency.

bellainthemiddle · 04/09/2019 12:23

Haha, yes! I was speaking to my dad last night (Italian, runs a restaurant, doesn't vote in, like, anything) and he was watching during the division and saying, "Oh look, so-and-so, the Member for such-and-such constituency has just sat down - they were a PPS in the coalition administration" :D

Last night I actually dreamt that I was an MP - it was awful!
