If she calls it a "wab" again, I'll go full Gove.Expert? oh noes.
It's more likely to involve balaclavas, AK-47,s and the bombing of innocents.There's not likely to be fisticuffs between the Sinn Fien and DUP guys, is there?

Who would have thought Sinn Fein would be the champions of same sex marriage?It's about to kick off now
Anybody who's paid a bit of attention to NI any time in recent history. But stick to your balaclava jokes.Who would have thought Sinn Fein would be the champions of same sex marriage?
I'll admit that I had missed Sinn Fein's stance on this issue. Been reading about it and fair play to them, they've really highlighted it as an issue of human rights and thrown their support behind it.Anybody who's paid a bit of attention to NI any time in recent history. But stick to your balaclava jokes.
I watched it. Bregman made some good points but he was no match for Portillo and Johnston. Experienced politicians such as those obviously have the greater debating skills, irrespective of whether they're right or wrong, but Bregman's knowledge of history just wasn't there. I wish him well, but he needs other people to develop his ideas.Tweet

What !? Portillo did the whole Venezuela & you've got a iPhone shtick. Come on you didn't really think that part was anything other than a joke ? Plus to hear Johnston quote Atlee about the difference is not left and right but democratic government vs authoritarianism shows Johnston lack of historical knowledge. Labour government of Attlee imposed a naval blockade in the Gulf because a democratic leader of Iran want to nationalise Iranian oil.I watched it.

I made an exception and read this, I get his points but he was a bit naive not expecting it. He needs some media training!What !? Portillo did the whole Venezuela & you've got a iPhone shtick. Come on you didn't really think that part was anything other than a joke ?
I agree that Bergman made some decent points but overall he was rubbish. He is a 21st century social democratic, so can't expect too much.
To me the interesting part of the twitter thread was just hearing 1)the lack of preparation by the BBC 2)How everyone must have a view on Brexit.
I have fond memories of Thatcher's last weeks and, ok, apart from that you could be right.Was it ever uphill?
He's a guy that thinks whoever shouts the loudest wins. I've a horrible feeling the bbc will be pleased with it.Who the feck is that Rhys Davies?
He played the Arab guy who helps Indiana Jones in the classic trilogy. He was also in a '90s TV series called Sliders about time travel.Who the feck is that Rhys Davies?
Was he the nutter on the end? He was cracking me up. Mad bastard.Who the feck is that Rhys Davies?
Also Gimli. Never realised he was a rabid right winger.He played the Arab guy who helps Indiana Jones in the classic trilogy. He was also in a '90s TV series called Sliders about time travel.
Then...Question Time.

Bruce is pretty atrocious at moderating.
Hislop really layed into him. It was good TV. I thought Mercer was gooing to snap at one point but he held his cool.Doesn't really go here, but if you are watching HIGNFY, Ian Hislop is really laying into Johnny Mercer.
tbf, he's taking it quite well.
Yeah I saw that. Was actually shocked at what I was watching, he really ripped into him and rightfully so by the sound of it. His counter argument was weak and basically consisted of “yeah but I’ll sue you”.Doesn't really go here, but if you are watching HIGNFY, Ian Hislop is really laying into Johnny Mercer.

Yeah exactly, it was so obvious too.Farage deflecting from having said Norway was a good situation by shouting that Norway never left the EU... and is successful in doing so.
