You know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine

Has a PM ever been so thoroughly wrecked on live television?

lol more than twice the number of MPs voted her deal down and then the leader of the opposition immediately delivered a demeaning and degrading speech and called for a vote of no confidence that's happening the next day

repealing article 50 is essentially "takey backsies" and things go back to normal. such a move is, however, political suicide. HOWEVER so is any other move

Same, I really like watching Bercow herding the MPs around like a bunch of children. Otoh it's English politics so there's like a 99% chance that he's a secret nonce or a racist dumpster fire or something

No deal brexit is literal suicide as a nation, not mere political suicide.

I thought the US would try suicide as a country first so seeing Britain try and beat us to the punch has been interesting.

Much as I suspected the British politoons have mostly lied to me. Jezza seems like a pretty cool dude.

He is, but he's a crap party leader. He's a very principled politician and sticks to his ethical views, but he can't work the political system with any level of competence. I feel unclean for saying it, but a Blair-style Labour labour who was capable of making backroom deals, playing the game, and wooing the media would have annihilated the Tories over this whole fiasco. Just look how much they've self-imploded without any serious opposition.
