I can't stand all the pro Ruth chat, even relative to the rest of the party- Davidson is objectively not a good person and just because she has some socially modern views (that happen to dovetail neatly with her own circs) doesn't make her any less objectionable, or less likely to for example argue that she wants to help disabled people by ending the patronising state assistance they get as this will encourage them to go and get a job. I also have it on good authority that her flat "absolutely reeks of pish" so make of that what you will lol. A sugarcoated, media competent, Twitter savvy turd is a turd nonetheless.

I saw a vid of Gurry parading his magnificent 7 about sayingthey were going to go to westmunster and get down to business, which is ambiguous as gently caress.

I mean, was he saying they were gonna go and talk to the British government or to the southwest of Ireland? We may never know.

Their argument is that she's the biggest threat to a hard Brexit so they dedicated 4 pages to how she is trying to undermine it and how she's secretly plotting to work with the SNP on it.

i think Sinn Fein do use their offices in Portcullis House even though they don't take their seats, because it's always handy for a political party to have free office space there, and it would certainly make sense for them to be heading over to Westminster right now with everything going on. The Sun just used their normal level of journalistic nous and integrity and took from that GERRY ADAMS MAKES BID TO BE PRIME MINISTER

And right in their own constitution. I think - absent some sort of earth-shattering event - any time people start talking about SF taking their seats you can straight up ignore anything they have to say about politics.

It's one of my pet hates that people (including close friends of mine) hate Ruth less when they find out she's a lesbian. Like, it obviously hasn't changed her repulsive views. It didn't stop her joining the Section 28 party. She shows no solidarity with other marginalised groups. Just like her being a woman hasn't stopped her defending the rape clause. A tory is a tory and a tory is scum.

Speaking as a lesbian I think it's great that society has progressed to the point where a lesbian can be an evil poo poo too.

Also, she's anti-hard Brexit so degrees of awful and all that.
