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 🍻

According to DH, I'm not allowed anywhere close to karaoke in case I break the windows.

Hello, Scoundrel... have a seat in the warm, and tell us who you fancy for the Labour leadership....

I had just ordered a Glenmorangie when it was swept away along with the old thread. Could I have a double please?

I honestly think Emily Thornberry's comment about Boris having a problem with a woman leader/her are wishful thinking.

Will leave before the karaoke as tone deaf and after a few whiskies may be tempted to warble 'I Will Survive'

Why thank you Ming, most kind of you.

Keir Starmer will get the job. Not because I fancy him though. I just think he’ll win.

Maybe we should start a Lisa Nandy fan club.

Keir is sort of competent, debonair and electable isn't he? He has to be the front runner, but I like Lisa as the underdog. RLB is wooden and ET always makes me think of Lady Tottingham from Wallace and Gromit.

Haha Silvery, got visions of your whisky being knocked off the bar in a fit of pique now. 😂

.

He is Ming, and that’s exactly what they need. I just can’t see them taking a chance on anyone else.

Brilliant! Why can't I do stuff like that?

Oh, because old dogs find new tricks quite hard to remember. My poor doggie (not quite six years old) has just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her elbows. Given that I've had lots of dogs, this is the first time I almost wish for veterinary insurance, but as her elbow problems were congenital, they wouldn't have been covered in any case. The orthopaedic vet says he could CT scan and arthroscopy (£000) or try a novel stem cell therapy (£000, probably) or there's general care, dietary supplements and non-steroid analgesia.

If anyone needs a reason to consider the pluses and minuses of medical progress, refer yourself to a vet.

And self-funding.

Here you all are!
A glass of fizz please, just leave the bottle, it’s been one of those days, ta.
I was just getting over the shock Of LangCleg being banned and was heading over here for a stiff drink to find you had all decamped! Or been forcefully relocated, not important, no names, no pack drill.

To stay on topic, the Guido stuff in the lobby has been very entertaining and Lisa Nandy has an air of Caroline Flint about her so I am looking fondly upon her for now.

Any canapés about? Can we send the boy out to Sainsbury’s?

Oh Xing! Your poor doggo!

💐

🍾 🥂

Here you go Snippy! Evening!

Thank you Epic cheers my lovelies

Tell me more about Nandy. All I really know so far is that she voted in a Leaverly way to reflect the views of her constituents.

Xing when you referenced ET for a moment I thought you meant the real one as in ET phone home. Every time I see Guy Verhofstadt I think he is ETs double.

“Tell me more about Nandy. All I really know so far is that she voted in a Leaverly way to reflect the views of her constituents.”

Which speaks to me of her integrity at least. A rare thing for parliamentarians to be representing their constituents against their own personal beliefs. 🙌

The rest I’m not too sure, I believe she is a more moderate socialist from bits and pieces I have picked up? Can anyone confirm? And she is defo not continuity corbyn. So that’s a massive plus for me.

OMG Time. He is!

Just for ref. And the opportunity to compare and contrast.

Ignore my ramblings all. I got problems when I actually said ET was more real than Emily Thornbury
And goodnight.

Glad everyone's finding us 🥰🍷

I'll join the Nandy Fanclub walking 🙋🏻‍♀️
And actual lol at
Lady Tottingham-Thornberry 😂😂

Sorry about your dog Xing 😟 poor wee thing

Well... Emily Thornberry has 99 problems, but becoming Labour leader ain’t one. 😉

This week's #LabourLeadershipLolz in visual form........

✊🌹

Lol Epic 😂😂
