Part 10 of our long running thread.

Not sure what to say, really, other than it is worse than I feared.

Strap in, folks. It's gonna be a rough ride...

I've asked @mnhq to edit

I noticed a conference held recently in Dublin on planning for a reunited Ireland. There were many big names there.

Also noticed Kit Malthouse doubling down on the hell in a handcart policy.

Ds1 and I were chuckling at Steve Bakers comments re: EU and Ireland...

It would be really, really funny if it weren't so fucking pathetic and avoidable ☹️😡

Cat marking because they are the only thing keeping me sane.

I know it is only small beer (har, har) and lots of people seem to be lining up to say "I told you so" but this sort of failure makes me so sad. The government has just thrown small businesses to the dogs and has no plan to even help them out a bit.

They've actually called in the administrators.

I've seen a new hashtag on twitter - #trussterfuck

DuncinToffee · 03/10/2022 18:53

I like that hashtag!

2016 David Davis sai, “There will be no downsides to Brexit, only considerable upsides."

2022 David Davis says, "An insurance-based system is the only way to save the NHS"...

Thanks for the new thread. With each one I think we’re nearly at the final implosion of this despicable Tory party - I hope Truss is its final malign manifestation.
I think Gove is setting himself up for leader in Opposition. They could do worse.

Jason118 · 04/10/2022 08:39

In homage to RedToothBrush and DRG et al, keep going everyone. March for rejoin later this month, as a way of increasing growth, surely some association with EU markets is an obvious win?

pointythings · 04/10/2022 08:40

If/when there is a GE, I'm going to do what I did in 1997 - stay up all night and see it through to its end. And I really hope I get the same outcome.

Lonelycrab · 04/10/2022 08:52

Checking in and thanks for the thread. Also don’t have masses to say and don’t have cat myself but I do get hedgehogs in my garden so here’s a pic.
