What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Haven’t seen any comments about the first meeting in Prague of the European Political Community. Anyone have any thoughts on it.

Nice photo of our Prime Minister with her Czech counterpart in my favourite spot in Prague.

A lot of Brexiters must be seething. We've left the Single Market (which was the only good bit of EU membership, according to them), only to become bit-part players in a new European Political Community (which was the aspect of the EU they despised the most).

I agree apart from the bit players. That’s just your opinion. Time will tell but as a remainer myself, I think it shows we are still involved and an important part of European politics. 
With the threat from Russia, it’s important that Europe shows solidarity.

Not at all, it’s good to talk, cost us nothing, nothing to lose so I don’t see a problem with it.

They are fucked without us. Of course they insist that we are involved in anything related to security. Who else in Europe would be capable of liberating any subjugated European state?

'Bit players'. He's playing with his bit again.

Be interesting to see what happens when Italy ramps up the leaving debate.

Some Tory bias on question time

Replace stupidity for opinion sums it up much better.

This is the "EU Army" Brexiters were screeching about in 2016.

The flaw in this plan is no fucker ever going to vote for that vision… think the oligarchs better groom someone else. Never heard such poppycock.

They convinced you to vote for Brexit against your own interests...

No they didn’t… I was well aware of the downsides…. Even the lies and over exaggerated downside were screeched incessantly every day and for years.

If you were aware and willing to accept the downsides, why do you always jump to defend or deny them?

What about the lies and over exaggerated upsides?

You're a clever bloke mate, you're not naive enough to think Truss gaining power isnt to do with donors and oligarchs surely?

Rishi was an absolute shoe in. Their backers didn't want him though.

Vested interests.

He's no Adam Curtis but it's an interesting take on things 

I was put off by the name "double down news" at the end though 

Also suggestions now that Kwazi's champagne reception with the hedge funds broke ministerial rules.

Lies, mistruths, and exaggerated claims from both sides, fundamentally for me it boiled down to no longer wanting to go down the federalist route, an ultimately I don’t trust the Germans and French and rather be out of their tentacles. 

The Tory party members voted her in… doubt the oligarchs had many votes.

The main reason Truss won the leadership contest ahead of Sunak is because the Tory party membership were pissed off with him overspending (in their eyes) during his period as Chancellor.

That and the perception he stabbed Boris in the back to advance his own interests.

And probably also the fact that the longer the leadership went on the more it became clear he was Will from the inbetweeners.
