Is Rory Stewart your guys's Beto/Mayor Butt? "Moderate" guy that very few people care about, but the media artificially pushes as the next big thing?

I wasn't aware he was anything at all.

What are you talking about? Nothing has changed. We've always been clear about the need to send a strong message.

Hopefully it cost the Brexiteers a fair bit of oligarch cash to contest the seat which is gone now

You'd have thought the obvious line of attack on Gove and Leadsom would be to have them jailed for the crimes they've publicly admitted to committing.

My commute is about 80 miles a day, which works out over £200 a month in diesel. If you add in insurance/tax/repairs I bet my car costs me close to £300 a month.

That's a mad commute to be doing solo in a car, though.

The Tory leadership election is being done how we should've done the Brexit votes - big list of options, no-hopers like no-deal eliminated early, then a referendum between the two most popular options at the end.

And we can fund it out of Boris Johnson's pocket.

Not great. I have a friend who made the mistake of getting a master's in her field and couldn't get a job in it. Now she gets turned off every interview for being overqualified and they look at her like an alien assuming she'll be a weirdo who won't fit in.

Wouldn't it make sense to just leave it off the CV for jobs where overqualification is a worry? Actual government ministers get away with making up qualifications they don't have, McDonalds aren't going to throw you in prison for not mentioning your Art History MA.

Prison, no, but I have heard of employers abusing the right to sack people over quite trivial details in their application materials to get rid of people they take a dislike to.

You could probably find anything you wanted if you wanted to sack someone though. Especially now that you have to pay to get an employment tribunal.

Plus, if you get sacked that means you got the job, which puts you ahead of the dude who wasn't even considered due to their MA.

Lmao Tories would rather see their party destroyed than Corbyn become Prime Minister.

How the hell did Brexit become a religion

There has to be a point when people don't get to vote any more because they're clearly insane, and we're well beyond it

I'd far prefer to see 'we will re-nationalise the NHS, public transport, schools, and utilities, and we will pay for it by expropriating the wealth of the hyper-wealthy' than 'lol the fake goofball said a thing'.

Can I just ask, why specifically is A/C bad for the environment? Is it just because it uses a ton of power and power tends to come from fossil fuels, or do the units themselves produce carbon / pollution?

You don't need the support of your CLP to want to stand. In fact, you're unlikely to get the support of your CLP if you don't want to stand.

it's gonna be a while yet before you all acknowledge it's a uniquely unappealing policy that gains labour nothing while alienating literally everyone won't it.

I dunno, saying "gently caress you and how you voted, we're not doing Brexit in any way despite what we said after the referendum" seems fairly alienating.

Especially if PM Boris just no-deals in three months time and that alienation was completely pointless.
