Yep, I'm afraid we do. More of them than I'd like to admit to as well.

TIG are going to be rammed down everyone's throats relentlessly as the new messiahs, and they probably still won't have any policies. Because what do actual policies, facts or aims matter in this post-truth world? *bangs head on desk*

To be fair though, Owen Jones has his head so far up Corbyn's arse that he spouts the same tired party line. This whole 'TIG' group is a silly diversion though. If they really wanted to force something they should have made this move 1-2 years ago. now it leads to nothing but more last-minute strife and confusion in an already chaotic clusterfuck of playing politicks.

PM statement coming back to the tired old line about Labour wanting to destroy Britain.

Tories launching a fund to 'try and restore prosperity to struggling communities'.

This reeks of desperation, given that the areas affected will be hit hardest by leaving regardless. We've now entered the realm of MPs being bribed for votes by having money offered for their constituencies.

It's a sum of money that 1. is dwarfed by what the EU provides, and B; ends up being less than the budget cuts enforced by the Tories doing the provably wrong austerity tactics of cut everything and then cut it again
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I have no doubt though that the Breklets will be all over it, cheering and praising and laughing about how it proves Remain wrong.

The relentless Brexit grind continues at work. Please vote for something sensible next week, Parliament so I can have a bit of a break. I'm so run down and I wake up in the small hours every night obsessing about HIV and hepatitis (the topic of most of my work projects, I'm not a hypochondriac).

Well Theresa May said that if her deal doesn't go through then there might be no Brexit at all

Pretty ironclad assurance that we will be fine* after all

We can only hope it all goes away and that we can then start purging the right wing by way of French choppy gravity friend, right?

There has to be a majority for today's vote to prevent us from leaving without a deal. All of the moderate Tories and most of Labour will vote against. All Lib Dem, SNP, Greens and IG will vote against. Even Labour MPs in big leave constituencies would be derelict in their duty to let us leave without a deal and I think they could explain that to their voters in good conscience. So that only leaves the DUP, ERG and the odd Labour nutter like Kate Hooey to be in favour.

I think.
