He asked tough questions about the consequences of a no-deal Brexit, and the prime minister conspicuously failed to answer. It's literally an article from bizarro land.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Can we all take a moment to appreciate Corbyn's official portrait, especially in stories like these. He looks so goddamn smug and he deserves to be that smug It’s because his eyes are looking to the side, which is a really confident and charming expression. I have an amazing two photos from when my dad was still alive; one of me, late 20s and ok looking but tryhard af and one of my dad, 72 and looking twinkly eyed and silver foxish and, like, a million times better looking than I did, with dad having essentially the same expression as JC there.

coffeetable posted:who's the particle physicist with the shiny new grant again Yeah I mean this is obviously disastrous for UK research and scholars with deep personal ties and family in Britain, but it can also be read as a chance to be poached by European institutions that will be extremely happy to have your prestige and output associated to them rather than the rapidly sinking HMS Britannia. I wouldn't be surprised if there are vice-chancellors across the EU drawing up plans and sharpening their knives at this very moment with an eye to "acquire" researchers on very favourable terms.

Vlex posted:Why? It's a good uni! In Life Sciences it felt like they could not give less about the department, having to move from the nice Wellesbourne campus onto the way more cramped Gibbet Hill site in the middle of my Ph.D. was, to put it mildly, not ideal. 'Luckily' the university freed up some space with a multiple rounds of redundancies in the relatively short period I worked there.

Tesseraction posted:Yeah even the Graun handed him a win on that, albeit somewhat by default because 80% of the snap verdict was calling Johnson a lying dishonest oval office. I really like Corbyn in his role as LotO - he's tailored strategies in PMQs specifically to make the PM uncomfortable. Cameron was a joker & bully who could push Milliband about so Corbyn did that gimmick where the public sent in questions. Totally neutered Cameron, because he couldn't be seen to dismiss or attack so had to do this weird solemn approach. May was all-brexit-all-the-time so Corbyn would do Q's on everything else, right down to local issues - shows how May was fanatical and aloof. & yeah, he could turn the screw on a bullshitter like Johnson until we see a tantrum
