So apparently both Kwasi Kwarteng and Farage's interviews with Andrew Neil were trainwrecks.
Yay!
Kwasi was apparently making up answers whilst spinning 360 degrees, and Farage was upstaged by a pro immigration protester in the background.
Shall watch.
Watching now, and Kwasi Kwarteng completely avoiding answering whether Boris could survive if the UKSC found that prorogation was unlawful, and therefore that he lied to the Queen. Then he get's touchy, when he's asked what Boris does if he cannot get a deal, because the law says that Boris must get an extension.
Farage really loses his way, when Andrew Neil questions him on his statement "smells like judicial interference". Farage started "erm"-ing and "uh"-ing like Boris.
What was interesting was when he was asked if he would target Labour seats at a GE, or end up splitting the Tory vote. Farage basically said that the Tories would need to come to some kind of accommodation with him, or the Tories would end up splitting the vote.
Hearing more stories about how the US Democrats somehow keep taking the Republicans at their word - and getting completely and utterly screwed for it - has made me really appreciate how quickly Labour and the rest of the opposition parties here adapted to the Tories' fuckery and stopped trying to play by the old rules.
Imagine if they'd just taken Boris at his word that he wouldn't use an early election to force through No Deal, or not insisted on getting the extension request enshrined in law.
Anyone who thinks no deal is an acceptable outcome is a psychopath.

That's the conservative ideology in a nutshell, it's always been, "well, I'm not in that situation, so if I can do it, so can they"Imagine a foreign government having such disdain for its people that it pursues ideology that literally leads to deaths, imagine what people would be saying about them.
LIstening to Today on Radio 4, amazing how the BBC news bulletins continually parrot the easily disproved lie that the Yellowhammer papers are reasonable worst case scenarios with absolutely no equivocation.
I can't be the only one that finds the term "reasonable worst case" a complete oxymoron aside from it clearly being something they've just replaced the words "base scenario" with.
The rhetoric this morning was....I can't be the only one that finds the term "reasonable worst case" a complete oxymoron aside from it clearly being something they've just replaced the words "base scenario" with.
Burn them, Jazz and a Passion for France?, I mean, what is the world coming too....

Does it have Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in it?, because that's all I can think about now.I can only imagine how meaty the famed Black Swan scenario is.

Tory Party: This is the reasonable worst case scenario until we do something to make it even worse."
It's not funny cause it's true. Genuinely fearful of the shit Tories would push through in an economic shock....again.Tory Party: This is the reasonable worst case scenario until we do something to make it even worse."
A really powerful headline in the Scotsman today.
The headline is a load of shite. They aren't heroes any more than they are enemies of the people. They're just judges who (I hope) are doing their job properly.
