Welcome to The Westminster Arms!

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

A non-partisan politics pub thread for political chit chat....!!

Please stick within MN talk guidelines - any posts which you think may have crossed the line, please report rather than getting into scraps on thread 😠

Political punch-ups are soooo last decade - ain't nobody got time for that 🥊❌

Be nice! Be respectful!

S'ok to slag off politicians, but not other posters 🍻

Dear God, please can I come back here otherwise I need to sleep on the streets

As per usual my thread in the Brexit section has gone to rat shit because of Tory haters and Brexit deniers

Surely there’s a happy medium where people don’t expect either Armageddon or sunlit uplands

If not can I just have wine on tap

Is anyone going to a Brexit party?

Me, Silvery. we're having dinner with the Lord Chancellor, Robert Buckland MP, and we will be raising a toast at 11pm on the night.

When I say "we're", I really mean Mr Lily, myself, and about a hundred others. Still. It will be an occasion to remember.

How about you?

🍷 Bear.

Thank the Lord you're still with us scary! (Phew!)

Sounds awesome 😍😍😍

Have a lovely time xx

Oh 🐻.....

Of course you can come back 😊
It's a jungle out there 🍷

Lol.

Relocations can be good for the Soul Bear, as we are discovering over here!

😉🍷 today is a new day.

That sounds very posh Lily hope you have a fab time.

I've got half a capon in the freezer, cooked the other half for Christmas Lunch, so shall have that with all the trimmings and some champagne.

I'm not expecting either, Bear. I've set up an intravenous tube of red wine for you - hope that does the trick.

Thank you all!

Just leave me in a corner and keep my glass full and I’ll be fine 😁

“Surely there’s a happy medium where people don’t expect either Armageddon or sunlit uplands”

There is, it’s here. 😉🍷 (another wine to keep you going...😂)

Best learn how to post memes & shit or you'll be getting the boot 🥾😉😂

At one point I wondered if I would kick the bucket before it happened. So pleased I'm still here grin

😂😂 hang in there Silvery 🍾

Sorry, I’m shit at anything involving technology but I can mix a mean cocktail!

Yeah! Up your meme game Bear... jeez...

🙄😂😉

Just had my arse handed to me in mariokart by both my boys 😠

I used to OWN them when they were little - not played it for years & they wiped the floor with me tonight 😩😩

Just about to watch AN now.....

I’ll take the cocktail. Well... mocktail. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dry 2020. Ugh. Lol

I’ll be here on mumsnet On the 31st... does that count as a party? 😬😂

I lead an exciting life me...

Just watched Lady Hyacinth-Tottington on AN 😱😱😱

I knew anyway that she was a sneery, snarky, bad tempered snob - but she really wanted to ram that impression home!

What a nightmare!! 😂😂😂

I'll be here Epic!!

I'll be drinking my Brexit Prosecco on my lonesome 😳😩

Wonder if we should have a separate thread so as not to derail this one?

I'm very mindful that we don't want this thread to be a lightning rod for people looking for a scrap

Welcome bear, specially as you can mix cocktails.
What can you recommend, but square it with the LL first please
In the meantime 🍷

The Govt. have already said that they intend to bring a bill to sort the child refugees and minors. Let's just hope it won't be too long coming.

And from watching PMQs today it looks as though the transport links in the north may get the funding they need. I do think Andy Burnham is a very good mayor of greater Manchester. I just wish he had stood for leader of the Labour Party. I think he would be my choice.
But if not him then Lisa Nandy.

Thanks copper 🥂

Don’t worry, I won’t be bringing illicit pucine (sp) in!

That's welcome news.

I'm planning on sneaking into the Ladies shortly after the toast to send you all a cheer. Plus any goss...

pucine

Poteen.

Mr Lily served at The Maze. He knows all about poteen.

Flaming Nora! It would blow your head off. We'll have none of that in here, thank you. Don't want HMRC after us!

Bear, don't even think of bringing in elicit booze. Just reach behind the bar.
But I'm useless on cocktails...come on recommend something suitable. Not too strong though. I've had 3 large 🍷and need to walk home later.

My grandfather in Donegal used to make poteen.
Kept it in the bath....not in containers...in the bath.
Best left alone.
