Part 10 of our long running thread.
I'm still putting my money on a spring GE.
The tory slash and burn of the UK is right on track.
Bon chance my friends!

That's bloody terrifying.

Thatcher: famously left wing. At least it’s honest about how far right this lot are I suppose.

We had a good laugh about that one ChezKuc. He basically stood there and openly admitted that they tried to gerrymander young people and foreign types out of being able to vote, and that they ended up gerrymandering their own elderly voters out.

BTW, anybody else genuinely stunned that they actually called their great movement "National Conservatism"?

It’s equal parts shocking and hilarious.

Shocking that they did it and that they are openly admitting what they were trying to do.

But beyond hilarious that they were so bad at it they suppressed their own voters by mistake.

And that in the process of doing it they managed to lose more seats than their expectation management figure.

BTW, anybody else genuinely stunned that they actually calledtheir great movement "National Conservatism"?

Nat C's for short

When you’ve polluted all the waterways it’s the next obvious thing.

BTW, anybody else genuinely stunned that they actually called their great movement "National Conservatism"?

When people are labelled extremists, it should come as no surprise that the most extreme thing about them is their dimness. That's why they are so easy to draw into hoaxes. I'd wager that "National Conservatives" - NatCs for short - was floated by somebody who fucking hates the Tories.

The perils of being Billy No Mates.

And what happens when a continent (which is what the US is) puts it's back into something.

The idea that the UK - with less than 1/40th of the land mass and resources of the US could in anyway compete really is the sort of thing that should be used to decide whether to commit someone or not.

Former Nissan CEO, Andy Palmer, with a stark warning: "We've been sleeping at the wheel, when it comes to bringing battery plants to the UK. The cost of failure is very clear: It's 800,000 jobs in the UK."

Sunak tells Farming Today that, in contrast to Suella Braverman’s call for the agricultural sector to wean itself off foreign labor, he is comfortable with the seasonal worker scheme continuing and expanding beyond its 45,000 cap.

It's about time we got a lesson about Rules of Origin.

It's one of the reasons why Brexit is insane and was always doomed to fail.

"Fuck business"

"fuck business" indeed

Former CEO of collapsed BritishVolt - the venture meant to build the gigafactory that would make the car batteries to solve current Brexit issue - says that the project was "collateral damage" in the war between Johnson and Sunak.

I went to buy beer today as it's a bank holiday for us tomorrow so BBQ time and it was shocking to see how little there now is from the UK. Previously there were dozens of british beers to choose from. Sadly no more. Just Newcastle brown ale and a couple from the same Scottish brewery. Plenty of German ones though.

More winning… for Paris

Loooong time lurker...
Thanks for these threads - an island of sanity in a mad mad world x

I have to say, I have absolutely zero sympathy for Leave voting morons who've voted themselves out of the job, I'll save my sympathy for remain voters suffering the consequences of their stupidity.

The sanity is growing.

And even quicker than I thought it would.

Err...

Why TF should the EU renegotiate brexit to help keep car manufacturers from moving to the checks notes EU and making 800,000 jobs there?
