So what you're saying is that we just need to repeatedly pull the fire alarm and we'll have the best leadership we've had in decades

I've been to one shinty match in my life, it was between Newtonmore and Kingussie. I think it was a cup match, or at least the final of some tournament. Newtonmore won, but then I heard later they got disqualified because they'd brought on an illegal player or something.

In any case, I'd highly recommend watching shinty, it's like hockey with golf swings, and I've no idea how field hockey survives as a sport in the face of such a clear improvement on the format.

You can get it on Freesat anywhere in Britain and Ireland and Manx and presumably anywhere in the vicinity that you can put a dish pointing up but you may be doing a crime if you are in e.g. Norway and will be investigated by one of those worn down Scandinavian TV detectives.

Looking forward to that shower of bastards to vote to keep the top oval office in charge.

Who knows, maybe they heard the booing and the writing on the wall.

IF Labour wasn't a barrel of useless tossers they'd have plastered Brenda by her lonesome at Phil's funeral on ConservativeHome rather than an NHS doctor.

I'm hoping Boris scrapes through with a win, as the longer he stays, the more damage and division he does to the party.

But what would happen if Boris simply ignored the rules, refused to step down, leave No.10 or call a GE? Because that's what I think he's going to do.

This, specifically, wouldn't help him. We are not America, we do not directly elect our head of government, if Boris is no longer leader of the Tory party he can not get an electoral mandate to become prime minister. No, not even with a thumping majority from the people of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, because they are not the UK.

what the thunder said
dumbest possible outcome is always a safe bet so i'd say:

boris wins but very narrowly and both sides claim victory. boris retreats to a no.10 bunker to wait out his term until 2025; rebels claim partial victory as his mandate is shattered but lack any levers to actually move things forward. in the meantime, everything continues to fall apart.

closely followed by:

loses the vonc, calls an immediate GE to force the motion to be dropped and then pulls out of the GE somehow via process fuckery, so sorry no further vonc for another year. i think this is technically possible but would be unreal levels of quasi-legal process machinations even for this gov

Ehh, maybe. I'm actually in a better place than I have been for awhile, I think because I've come to peace with the fact that collapse is inevitable and unarrestable, and so I'm content to just try and carve out a bit of local happiness and contentment while it's possible.

I guess it's more that this all just feels like a sideshow in the face of the crushing material forces of history. It's just palace intrigue, soap opera stuff. Grist for the newspapers, but that's about it.

Yeah. Can’t really get enthusiastic about Johnson being replaced with someone who has the same politics but is just a bit more liked by liberals. Which is surely much worse

Dumbest possible option is he loses the vote by 1 vote and it later transpired that Dominic Raab accidentally voted no because thought it meant "no don't fire him"

Hurling doesn't happen a handful of miles from my house & shinty does. And if the BBC (or other council TV channels) shows hurling then I've not heard about it, whereas I have heard about shinty being shown.

Not really much point comparing them despite common interests, the standard of play is much higher in hurling for pretty obvious reasons when you look at where they are played. Shinty's big game is at Bught Park, which isn't exactly Croke Park.

My mother says that she once watched a shinty match on TV and the response to one player clouting another over the head with his shinty stick was a very mild-mannered "Aye, his play has always been a wee bit robust".
