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 🍻

not the election co-ordinators' fault (the report was written by the election co-ordinators, so that must have come as a relief)

😂😂😂😂

It does beg the question, though, why should Jezza step down? It's his shadow front bench, the UK media and the electorate that should step down. They really should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I would not have been remotely surprised had this been the case in all honesty (had Jezza not already said he was stepping down)
Such is the clown-show that dresses up as Labour at the mo 😳 🤡

(Have been MIA for last couple of days as v busy irl, soz - glad BMW6 found us! 🍷)

Looking back at the Accidental Achievers nominees, and inspired by Lily's Sgt Peppers suggestion - I bring you:

Brexit's Accidental Achievers!! 🏆

(You'll need to zoom right in to see all the different stuff 😉)

Ha that's where you've been Dusty. That must have taken ages. I'm loving Junker and Tusk's conversation going on there. 'blah blah special place in hell blah blah'. You've got them all in!

My most terrified few weeks along the Brexit road was when the remain alliance were up for a caretaker PM. Something else to thank Jo Swansong for. She knew that JC must not be let anywhere near no 10. Imagine if Jezza was installed? He'd be there forever.

Dusty, that is amazing. 😂😂😂😂
Please can we have it as a poster. It's better than the merch from the Tory party. I would rather have that than a tea towel.

A neighbour of mine is in the LibDems and tells me that they are still trying to persuade Gina Miller to stand as leader.😱😱

Dusty, that is your finest creation yet! Seriously, there'll be a market for that. If you are on Twitter, you need to get that out there. It must have taken hours but I love the little details...Hugh Grant's police photo, Jolyon and the poor battered fox, multimillionaire Bob Geldof jeering and sneering at the fishermen.

Sheer genius!

That's it now. It's going on the wall behind the bar, over the fireplace in the snug, and on the pavement signboard. I'm going to print it out and hang a copy in the den.

Thank you.

OMG Dusty that is just brilliant, I love it🥰 - get that baby on Twitter😊

Dusty, I would so pay for that teatowel. Or loo roll.

That is stunning Dusty - I definitely want a tea towel.

Two days to go, I can hardly believe it. When you think of all the numerous attempts to stop Brexit, it's a miracle. I hope you're stocking up with crates of champagne for Friday? I intend to start celebrating early.

Just 57 hours and 30 minutes from now...

That’s brilliant dusty.

I wish I could print and wear it in public, but people would be so jealous they would year it off me, just to get a bit.....pmsl

Blooming corrective text.

mummy I'm not even brave enough to wear a Brexit pin!

all my friends and colleagues are acting like some kind of catastrophe is hitting the world.

lily your 57 hours and 30 mins makes me want to set it to the Sinead O'Connor song...

Here’s one for oor Ian to play on 31st at 11pm.
Darlin’ leave a light on for me

🎶 it's been 1314 days, and 16 hours,
Since the polls closed on EU Ref... 🎶

To the tune of "nothing compares 2 u"

57 hours and 30 mins
And we say “fuck off today”
Celebrate all night and sleep all day
When we wake, you’re far away…..
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
And EU staff will, EU staff will
Have to fill in forms….
Because nothing improves
Nothing improves
Like Brexit….

😂😂😂

Love it Autumn 😂

It took me an AGE to do that pic - v proud of it 😇

Feel free to tweet/share/put it on a tea towel if you want 😍😂

we need the artist's signature, Dusty!! (kidding, no pressure).

I've updated one wee bit of it in case anyone wants to share elsewhere...

I've put #StaticStarmer on #ComatoseKeir as no one outside MN Brexit knows who the fuck the static guy is 😳😂

Soz for posting again....

Don't ever apologise, Dusty! It's real art and deserves a wider audience. Pity you couldn't find a way to send it to Dominic Frisby. He'd love it.

Autumn, I'd sing that around the house but - seriously - have you ever heard me sing? It would be a clear breach of the Geneva Convention.

Lily when I was at school, I was declared to be the only tone deaf kid in class!

Dusty tweet it to Dominic? Or I'm sure he has a website. I think you deserve to make money from it though.

Did anyone catch Sir Lindsay Hoyle's statement in the HoC? It drew cheers from the Conservative side.

He told the Commons he is ‘establishing a new procedure’ modelled on ‘ministerial direction’ which will allow the Clerk of the House to ‘place a statement of his views in the library’ if the Speaker makes a decision which he ‘considers compromises a substantial breach of the standing orders or a departure from long standing conventions’.

Long story short, he is cleaning up Bercow's mess by giving the previously silenced Clerk the right to draw to the attention of the Commons any unconventional or subversive behaviour by a maverick Speaker.

At a wild guess, this is the substance of one of Lord Lisvane's dossier of complaints submitted to the Honours Committee objecting to Mr Bercow's nomination for a peerage, and Sir Lindsay is not waiting. He is putting the remedy in place now.

What a cesspit the last Parliament had become.

Autumn, we should form a choir. People would pay us serious money not to sing.

Well Lily you’ve set me off on another thread but I think it’s going to be taken down....

I’m respecting Hoyle right now.

Oh dear, the BBC is "reshaping for the next five to ten years" by cutting 450 jobs particularly at BBC Radio 5 Live and Newsnight and in managerial graders as part of an £80m savings drive. It recognises it is facing competition from Netflix, Apple, etc, and has to serve its audience in recognition of its public service status and to justify the licence fee.

It's got its sad face on and is speaking in tones of regret.

Nicky and Dmitri, if you're reading this, the BBC is "shroud waving".

But I'm sure you know that

That poster is amazing Dusty. It needs to be immortalised on the Arms wall.

Can anyone explain how to download it as a jpeg?

In other news, Wrong Bailey has finally got enough support to make it to the next round of the leadership race. Blame the firemen.

Just watched Farage's last words in the European Parliament. The Vice President cut off his mic because he started waving a Union Jack Flag. Mairead McGuinness was right pissed off.
