Enjoy them while you can, it's going to be bin juice and brine after hard brexit.

Is there any good reason why they couldn't have approached Brexit as a cross party initiative? The referendum campaigns weren't divided along party lines anyway so it would have made more sense.

Depends how high your bar is for "good reason".

Alright, that's +1 for Tarzan. 

fuck it, I'll go for Lord Palmerston, though I expect some pushback.

Thanks, but I did say plausible

Would love to know how it would be better with any other plausible Tory at the helm, mainly because I don't follow UK politics that closely anymore.

Buckle up, lads, my dad the political analyst is on the case

That's the seaside, social rules break down that close to the sea, it's all the salt and pigeons. Ever been to skegness, they still have donkeys on the beach.

I asked my wife, who is from NJ, and she said "fuck off, stop making fun of New Jersey"

You'll have to go down Argos or Pound Bakery, and ask them to license your hand shandy.

Hal Blaine passed away - hard to know the best song he played on, there’s so many. This is the last song I listened to, anyway, because it’s a day that ends in “y”.

Hunter S. Thompson injected cake into his vitreous humour on McGovern's campaign yacht.

Who robs off with a spinner? Are you sure it didn't just take off from going too fast?

I have no idea what you’re talking about

Cohen has published what will be his opening statement at his public appearance today in front of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight & Reform (pdf doc)

I think by the time Cohen is finished in front of the committee later today, the excrement is going to be hitting the fast rotating blades in large quantities.

This is an immense shitshow already — I hate congressional hearings. Mark Meadows is a nob.

I did notice that there was a calendar, and marveled at all the holidays in there — I'm assuming I get to meet Colonel Sanders on December 25th?

Started playing Persona V, afraid that it's too Japanese for me and I'm a racist.

A Real, Real One

Spoke with noted political mind, my dad — the Labour lot are very principled, but the Tories are anti-democracy snakes. Also, he's heard a lot of Remain voters are so disgusted that even if there was a second referendum, the Leave vote would jump up several points. He's available for QT, or just to rant at people in the pub.

He did pull in a lot of younger voters, which was fantastic early doors, but despite a few history-rewriting attempts I've seen since, he was absolutely dirt-awful with larger minority groups.  Was one of those situations where watching social media would lead you to believe that Bernie was just romping it, but doing that is like Peggy Noonan predicting a Romney victory based on the yard signs she saw around her neighborhood. She was giving an inappropriate weighting to the evidence of her particular milieu, just as Bernie's online army was making him seem like more of a winning prospect.

Bernie managed to pull the party much farther to the left, which is evidenced in the progressive policies coming from the less-progressive mouths of Harris, Booker, and even fucking Gillibrand. If you want to see a proper "Centrist mum," take a look at Amy Klobuchar, who is mugging herself off early sternly decrying progress. 

I've no hope that he's got a shot, and for this reason I'd like him to stay out and keep hold of his Ohio seat, but Sherrod Brown is a much better midwestern senator that may be a bit too beholden to his locals, but is a good solid working mans' dem.

Bit of a font change, and it would be a lovely romance novel
