 remains relevant as Johnson prorogues Parliament which is legal because May didn't because she couldn't guarantee getting a Queen's Speech through to crush the saboteurs so now a bunch of fubpees are trying to complain to the manager and there's a court case in Scotland to examine if Johnson really really needed to prorogue Parliament for so long, then a bunch of people protested. As does  MPs will do anything to stop No Deal except support the one guy who wants to stop No Deal, except even Ken Clarke is starting to come round on that. https://twitter.com/posthamster/status/1166477024308973574 https://twitter.com/GhostofAckbar/status/1167046623106666496 Also Dominic Cummings exists, who can basically be summarized as  Salvador Allende posted:Surely, this will be the last opportunity for me to address you.

Also after discussing it with CB and amongst ourselves, we’ve decided we won’t punish people just for mentioning pissflaps anymore as long as it doesn’t cause an extended derail. What constitutes “an extended derail” is up to interpretation.

What happened? Zoe Quinn outed some other sex pest in games and apparently he offed himself this morning. This, of course, is Quinn's fault, along with erectile dysfunction and male pattern baldness and why my ex wife took the kids.

In this case, it's the domestic abuser getting into a relationship with someone who offers them detailed tips on how to hurt people, encourages them to do so, and then gives them a slow emotional workover for the next few decades before attempting a murder-suicide out of absolutely loving nowhere because they decided that they weren't fine with the domestic abuser having the family round after all despite repeatedly saying 'hey, we should invite your folks over'.

I don't normally find things like this offputting but I will say I'm a bit leery of making extended metaphors rooted in domestic violence. (Not trying to have a go at you both, just a gentle comment) Huh. Finally found something the Tories are doing better than Labour.

Which is particularly rich given how much Johnson and others of his cabinet voted against May's policies without any such measures being taken against them. If Johnson wanted to convince moderate Tories to just drop out and make their own party/join the LibDems/ChUK, that'll do it. Resorting to this sort of threat so soon after becoming PM will make a lot of MPs very angry and very stubborn as a result.
