Trump bootlicker and all round toad Nigel Farage made his final flourish before the vote a venom spitting monologue about how the first words at the top of a British Passport were "European Union" and here we are two and a half years later

Fwiw I hope he whips his party into supporting the exit deal if it's looking like the Tories can't get it together. It's probably political suicide for him, possibly for Labour as a whole for a few elections, but it's far preferable to no deal Brexit starvation and mayhem.

Corbyn is just giving the party line from conference. Try get a Brexit that meets the six tests and if that’s impossible (It is) either cancel Brexit or have a new referendum. That people are taking it as him going “I’ll back May’s Brexit it I have to” is just dumb

It is well funny that corbyn repeatedly says "I'll do Brexit I'm dead fuckin serious" and people are like "ahhh yeah but he's just joking" constantly lol See him trying to "thread the needle" LMAO If you support Corbyn you're gonna have to support him doing brexit stop kidding yourselves. Else it's just gonna be that much worse when he wins the GE then pushes it through anyway. Iv already made my peace with it. Gimme that brexit garbage gently caress it. We deserve it.
