A solemn Boris opens up a big cardboard box in the House of Commons, pulls out a shirt reading 'We did Brexit, Oct. 31, 2019.' "But I made all these shirts," he whimpers.

the dollop doesn't even try that, you can listen to a 2.5 hour ep and then check the wiki article on the subject and see that everything they said was in the article and in order

lol Lord Sugar at it again. For the benefit of Americans-

Alan Sugar is a rich oval office who made his money from lovely computers in the 80s.

He was appointed to the house of lords by the Labour party, because he was one of their biggest donors in the Blair/Brown years. So this made him Lord Sugar. Then Sugar quit the party because Labour was too left wing under the leadership of noted socialist firebrand Ed Miliband. So he now sits in the Lords as an independent. He says he will leave the country if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister and once tweeted a photoshop of Corbyn and Hitler.

He plays the Donald Trump role in the UK version of the apprentice.

I have thought about this and decided I don't care, I like the podcast and assume they all do this. Did anyone actually think Dave Anthony was doing original research?

He's your more typical member of the HOL, not a billionaire or anything just a former MP who was in government under cameron and may.

He's mainly known for being an enormous disgusting fat piece of poo poo

I have noticed this too. I'm not the only one who finds it highly suspicious. Russian bots are doing the same drat thing to brexit as they did to Donald Trump. I remember reading something just after the vote about how Europe has been thrown into uncertainty but the author suggested there is one person who was pretty glad about the results - Putin.

“I’ve left the Labour Party after nearly 45 years of service at branch, constituency and NEC levels, partly because of its continued duplicity on Brexit, partly because of its antisemitism, but also because its leadership is complete s***,” he said in a tweet on Friday afternoon.

Mr Robinson has long been critical of Mr Corbyn, last January criticising the “leftist clique” that he claimed had “completely taken over” the party.

lord sugar is the mortal foe of lord adonis. they send their agents against each other, but have not yet evolved matters into open conflict. the latest brexit is bringing matters to a head, and before turmoil erupts you have been charged by the Pro Rogue of the local thieves guild to steal the Gilden Mace - or die trying.
