yeah yeah yeah
- Not coming round to Brexit. Not making my peace with it. Every day I grow to loathe it more. My lip curls and my heart grows colder with every Brexiter bark of jingoism and hollow, self-serving argument. The stunning lack of humility - the swagger! - as this catastrophe unfolds.
- I see Tony Blair is still refusing to wear trousers to interviews
- I've always valued my independence as a hack, for the 25 years I've been in the business. But I signed this tonight as a human. Fuck Brexit petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2415…
- I wish newspapers would stop talking like this. In 2019, this kind of omnipotent, lemon-sucking editorial voice is like being lectured in a care home by a dribbling great-uncle who’s convinced he’s running Goldman Sachs. It’s a mad rush towards obsolescence
- Andrea Leasdsom: I stabbed a man in Waitrose just to watch him die
- If Nadhim Zahawi wants to cut taxes he's got about two hours
- English pubs packed with feature writers nursing one pint
- I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Greater Manchester
- 'The EU doesn't work because 28 countries can't work smoothly together. So we're getting out.' Brexit negotiations: 27 EU members work smoothly and efficiently through the process; the UK instantly collapses into mutual loathing, total incompetence and, soon, cannibalism.
