                Oh, is Soubry in a marginal? I mean, all Tory losses are a bonus but there's a hell of a lot of others I'd rather see kicked out.

                  Amber Rudd is more marginal.

                  So are a few Brexiters.

                    Wow, looks like the general election threat was real. They've lost their heads. Apologies for doubting it before.

                          that by election looks like a long shot. He's so fucking pathetically bad at this isn't he?

                            22% nationalist vote in 2017, so very much a live possibility.

                              They're not going to lose a government supporting MP.

                                          Tory MP, Charlie Elphicke, thinks he's clever posting this in response.

                                            Dublin airport numbers are growing like a muthfucka. Right now it’s not too far above EDI/GLA and Aberdeen combined (and all but Embra are on a general decline, possibly long term even without Brexit hell), but the half empty T2 gives them way more capacity for growth. It’s becoming a proper European hub.

                                              Johnson back at his grandstanding, empty rhetoric best, I see.

                                              Fucking Brexiteers.

                                              "We want a proper Brexit!"

                                              "What is it?"

                                              "Will of the people!"

                                              "But what will it look like?"

                                              "Glorious shining uplands! Rule Britannia!"

                                              "How will you negotiate?"

                                              "Enemies of the people!"

                                              And, thanks to Cameron shitting his pants over the thought of the hard right headbangers going to UKIP, some of the vilest characters in politics are holding a feeble PM to ransom to get their Singapore wank fantasy.

                                              Meanwhile, Corbyn is proving to be an utterly ineffective Leader of the Opposition. He should be creaming it in Parliament and in the polls, yet he's fucking about doing fuck knows what whilst the country is dragged over a cliff.

                                                Aer Lingus certainly seem to be doing a roaring trade flying people in from UK regional airports and connecting them onto transatlantic flights via the US pre-boarding immigration clearance. Makes for a hell of a scene when everyone's trying to get through at once though, as the outbound flights all depart within a fairly short window.

                                                  Pairing cheats Brandon Lewis and Julian Smith look to be in a bit of trouble. Among other things, it wasn't exactly LBJ standard vote counting by Smith as chief whip. Wouldn't be surprised if there were enough Tories to push Smith out.

                                                    What, specifically, (given the whip on the votes this week - which Labour lost - and PMQ's) should Corbyn do in Parliament that he isn't doing? And how might whatever else he does do change the parliamentary arithmetic?

                                                    What, specifically, (and I'm no big believer in the polls, but it's interesting that this last week has shown them all swinging to Labour, fwiw) can he do against that 40%-or-so rump of Brexiteers/Tories that a) won the Referendum, and b) still want a hard Brexit?

                                                    I'm not being sarky, I'm genuinely interested.
