It’s because of him we have the 31st October deadline. Tusk, Merkel etc would have offered a year. So while a few days is ridiculous, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets the extension shortened to a few weeks.

What was it @ghosthalo called him? A miniature Jupiterian sun king or something?

didn’t he refer to himself as that? Macron that is.

Anything gonna happen today or can I just forget about politics for a change?

Nobody’s pretending very hard. I’m sure I’ve heard at least one tory politician say it explicitly. Ken Clarke on Today this morning said in terms that everyone should ignore what comes out of “Downing St sources”.

Quite like that he doesn’t appear to mind going in two-footed on just about anyone. Used to have some good bits on Charlie Brooker back in the day. I’m probably oblivious to loads of reprehensible shit he’s written though.

I assume the picture wasn’t actually from the feed as it looked the wrong angle but yeah, she definitely looks like she’s smiling.

Makes me wonder if her utterly crazy speech delivery is down to some kind of nervous tick where she can’t stop smiling?
