Westministenders: Another Thread, another Shit Show. Its Trump Week

[RedToothBrush]

That is all.

Emperors new clothes....

It'll only take 1 person/TV network/evangelist to turn against him and people will see him for what he is.

Sadly it'll be a long time coming....

Oh, beg pardon if Corbyn was there. I'm glad if he was.
He annoys me but its important for all our political leaders to be there.

David Henig's excoriating take down of the latest "Managed No Deal" Brexit produced by the more extreme Brexiters: so-called "A Clean Managed Brexit"

Supported by all the usual suspects: Baker, JRM, Suella Braverman, IDS, Redwood, Priti Patel, Bernard Jenkins......

Apparently the ERG et al don't understand the word "No", have access to amazing existing technical solutions that will ensure a seamless border in Ireland, still assume that the EU hasn't quite realised who we the UK is and will quickly fall into line and agree a temporary FTA, and that the EU won't mind the UK not paying its outstanding liabilities

I guess it's never to soon to work out what colour we'd like them ?

Maybe just the one child then ?

Jeremy Hunt video says that when he set out as an entrepreneur it was a “daily grind just to stay alive, just to pay the bills”

That’s Jeremy Hunt, son of Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt and Lady Hunt, Charterhouse, PPE at Oxford, worth £14 million, richest member of the cabinet...

Oh poor love.

And he couldn't sell marmalade to the Japanese either.

Just posted on wrong thread! So happy DT has gone!

Poor Ireland and Scotland- your turn now!

Apparently the ERG et al don't understand the word "No"

Let's hope that's not in all things ....

Re Trump and the draft. His actions and statements are broadly in line with George W, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Therefore unlikely for criticism to gain much traction.

He has lots of other commonalities with Bill, who left Office with one of the highest ever approval ratings despite the impeachment ....

Should have added with regard to re-opening the EU negotiations

But then almost all the Tories and most of the Labour Front Bench don't seem to get it either

I know some of the country is shall we say, a little lower than average at comprehension, but do the Tories honestly think anyone hears Hunt's name and doesn't think "bad for NHS"? I know we live in strange times where half of the country seem happy to roll in American standards but this can't have changed, can it?

I know some of the country is shall we say, a little lower than average at comprehension,

Half the country has a below average IQ.

I'd have thought that if Hunt became PM, a large swathe of NHS employees - including doctors - would not be able to bring themselves to vote Conservative, even if they were historically Conservative voters

Heaven knows who they would turn to though

I can't see Hunt becoming PM. Imagine Mrs Hunt having to appear next to Trump.

But one can say the same about Gove and teachers/educators/students pointy

True.

And Ruth Davidson has already pointed out how toxic BoJo is in Scotland.

Not that the party membership would care as Scotland is just "the testing ground"

At least one of the Dakotas flying to Normandy was Russian. Am surprised there doesnt seem to be a kind of BBC round up prog on the days events?

I'm beginning to think we should leave immediately so we can get the crash and burn over asap. Then at least those who do survive can start to put the pieces back together again. This endless drawn out shit fest is torturous. Weren't they told to not waste the extra time they were given? Two fucking holidays, 1 state visit and now a leadership contest. Just how exactly are we using that time wisely?

I'm willing to bet the BBC will not be showing the 94yr old veteran's speech in it's entirety again at any rate. I bet they weren't briefed on that part of his speech .

Oh and someone yesterday was asking what Farage might loose from his donations and what impact it could have, which I had read was just he wouldn't be able to do his MEP acceptance speech and was however, today I saw this TLE article on how he may not be able to accept it at all!

I suspect Farage will become a martyr over it though - it will allow him to not turn up with purpose and The People will think EU has cheated them once more

Trump has just compared the Irish border to the Mexican wall on arrival in Ireland. Varadkar patiently explained that unlike Trump’s wall, he doesn’t want a border actually... The man is a cretin!

My mum is beside herself with fury about Trump setting foot on the same island as her.

YY to your opinion of 45, Eyewhisker.
He is beneath contempt.

"Trump has just compared the Irish border to the Mexican wall on arrival in Ireland. "
Say it ain't so. Did that dick really say that?
