    The Ministry of Silly Haircuts is going to re-negotiate May's deal with the EU.
    Yeah, right.
    Meanwhile, the value of the pound continues to plummet.

    Meanwhile, the Neolib Dems are more preoccupied with finding new ways to try and stop people bringing up the fact Jo Swinson voted with the Tories more than Jeremy Hunt did between 2010-15, with the latest attempt being to say it's a "personal attack" to quote something which is freely available to the public, as opposed to last week's "misogyny" blitz that demonstrates a similar misunderstanding of the Streisand Effect

    Attempted defence of a possible misandrist by claiming the
    detractors are misogynists, is always going to be amusing.

    What is the Streisand effect? Is this just The Way We Were?

    Edit: No need to explain - just looked it up.

    Has been posted on the Prem board, but worth a wider audience.

    And this absolute plank wanted to be PM.

    I wonder if we'll see Rachel Riley pipe up about how they exclude large swatches of the Jewish community?

    I suspect the clue is in the name ( ie "represent" all Jews of UK citizenry,
    whether they currently reside in the UK or overseas) . :)

    Considering the BoD have been happy to indulge in the "Wrong kind of Jews" trope at various points in the last couple of years, I wouldn't be so quick to automatically presume that - although it's safe to presume that's the version in the official press release...

    They've retweeted this, but strangely haven't commented on it:


    That's the guy that said that Corbyn should be sacrificed.
    Should be an investigation by the Labour Party, as it's clear that Jeremy's mates took him out...

    Looks like Johnson's Grand Tour of the UK continues to go well....
    Today he receives a less than warm reception in Wales and avoids any Media interviews.
    Brave Sir Boris turned and fled (with acknowledgement to MontyPython).

    On a more serious note, contrary to what the weirdos on Twitter with yellow glyphs in their profile and selective amnesia of the years 2010-15 will tell you, what the byelection mainly proved was that 10,000 voters stayed at home compared to the 2017 election and, as if by complete coincidence, the Tory candidate received 8000 fewer votes while the Neolib Dem vote remained the same - or, to put it another way, the Tories lost the seat, as opposed to the Neolib Dems winning it
