C'mon, Jezza, don't blow your load yet. We've only just got past the blowjob! At least wait until there's some penetration.
During the post coital spooning he whispers into your ear "help me establish a fairer Britain" then dozes off.
Update, May's set a date for the Brexit deal vote (which she pinky promises she will totes 100% stick to this time, no take backsies) so Corbyn's symbolic vote of no confidence is cancelled https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46586673
good. Is it not a better idea to wait until May's deal is inevitably voted down and the no deal sirens are blaring?
Yeah but Corybn is sitting so much on the f nice that by the time he'll do anything of value it'll be too late
I'd rather he wait than blow his load, destroy the Labour party and hand the Tories 4 more years on a plate. It's a tough situation sure but it's not as obvious as 'lol just do it'.
Lotsa people have been criticising him for doing fuck all for ages tho
Sure they have. But what are they suggesting? Come out in vocal support of Ref 2 and destroy the Labour party's electoral chances? Call a Commons VONC far too early, embarrass the party and step down? I dunno what these people want him to do. All these Labour supporters don't realise they share the party with a significant base of Leave voters. It's all well and good being a vocal opposition that can't be elected after alienated half your base.
Those brexit people who are opposed to a 2nd referendum do so because they're scared of democracy. Why should democracy and choice (ie a second referendum) be forsaken to appeal to those people? Labour should be aiming for better politics with a healthier democracy. I'm tired of politicians putting party before country.
The madlad's trying it anyway https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1074724630500233218?s=20
I fail to see how a martyrdom like that is anything more than posturing. We know Labour are aiming for better politics with a healthier democracy, that's why we (I) voted for them in the last election. Allowing yourself to be blinded by the single issue of Brexit doesn't change that. Would you genuinely rather Labour fulfilled my prediction after coming out in support of Ref 2, allowing us to crash out with no deal and Tory rule until 2022 and maybe beyond, or play the damn game and give us our best shot at stopping it? I can't see how a Labour government would end in anything BUT a second referendum, given it would need to be a coalition.

seems like they should go full bore given how she's pushed the brexit vote back an entire month when november was supposed to be the point of no return where past that they couldn't be certain of implementing a deal in time.
They aren't scared of democracy, they are scared this won't end. If people cannot accept the results of the first referendum, there appears no guarantees they will accept the results of another, which will lead to another referendum and so forth. Essentially kicking the ball down the line.
Let's delay Brexit for so long, that generations years from now have a symbolic vote on the 23rd of June each year, in celebration of avoiding that one colossal fuck up we almost had leaving the EU. That sounds like a fun option to me.
