Shiny new thread 😍😍

The Westminster Arms:
A non-partisan politics pub-thread for varied political chit-chat & other such stuff

Cheers all 🍷

Boris won't give up the fishermen, Sally.

It's a symbolic thing. The EU know that, that's partly why they're trying to prise our fishing waters from us (as well as the fact they are lucrative).

Boris knows it too. He's playing hardball. Sovereignty comes first.

Thanks Lily, I need ALL the drinks today. Sadly though, they will have to be Mocktails... Dry Jan completed. Now to complete dry Feb! 🤦🏻‍♀️😬😂

My question to Sir Static would be what does he mean when he says that the problem with their campaign was that they didn't squash down (or words to that effect) the Tories' Get Brexit Done' soundbite.

I've heard him repeat this a few times now.
How could they squash it down? With something catchier? Get 2nd referendum done? Remain or remain lite? 2nd Referendum and campaign against it?

I can't be arsed to be ignored by him though.

“Boris knows it too. He's playing hardball. Sovereignty comes first.”

🤞🏻 🙏 🕯

Well, I've got the recipe for a very convincing non-alcoholic mojito, Epic, as well as a Virgin Mary and a non-alcoholic Classic Dmitri. Speaking as a teetotallers.

What would you like?

#IgnoreDemocracy?

That would have made for a really catchy soundbite! Honest too! 😉😂

All of them please Lily, all of them. 😂

#BestOfThree?

We could be speechwriters for Sir Static.

Yes they are symbolic.

Again, repeating, so many of us were moved by the plight of the fishermen : thrown into sharp relief by geldof on his yacht screeching obscenities at them.

Funny really, it wouldn't have been as memorable or as poignant without geldof on the yacht.

Talking of the yacht no one has mentioned Rachel Johnson on one of msm night of brexit talking about her children's futures robbed.

I find her very very odd....

Ha Epic, yes good one.

Rachel Johnson?

Severe case of sibling jealousy.

“Again, repeating, so many of us were moved by the plight of the fishermen : thrown into sharp relief by geldof on his yacht screeching obscenities at them.”

God yes. It was so long ago now, that it’s easy to forget ‘moments’ like that. What a colossal knob is Bob.

“no one has mentioned Rachel Johnson”

Good enough for me. 😂

"no one has mentioned Rachel Johnson”

And that's her biggest gripe.

Can anyone really be bothered to engage with kier sir static?

#squash democracy.

#squash Tina from Workington in her social club with her low un skilled job (according to another pp)

#squash people we deem unworthy of the vote.

#bring back mao re education sessions until people see sense.

😂 Good point, excuse me for bringing her name up.

I wouldn't mind but I've spent all day scrubbing the mould off the north wall of the cellar. Mildew, I think, or a close facsimile. And now the damn thing has appeared again.

I'll get the bleach out again.

Mumsnet Lily. Zoflora. Remember? 😂

You're right, Epic.

This is Mumsnet after all.

I shower in it exactly 5 times a day. No more. No less. It’s the only way to be considered a ‘correct’ Mumsnetter! 😂

And don't forget to use three towels.

And change your bedding every hour.

Do you add it to your thrice daily towel wash too Epic?

Singing, mould is not something to be messed with.

Technically it shouldn't be scrubbed.

It will release spores into the air...

😱😱😱

Will Zoflora save the world? From the 🧟‍♀️ Mega Zombie Flu pandemic? Someone needs to contact the government. Mumsnet had the answer all along!

BBC News showed a piece about Rachel Johnson having dinner with Nigel Farage - needless to say neither persuaded the other to change their opinion.
