LABOUR TABLES BREXIT-BLOCKING MOTION

Labour and the Remain parties are wasting no time in trying to block a future Tory Prime Minister from taking us out of the EU on October 31st.  A motion has been tabled for tomorrow aimed at preventing a no deal Brexit.  As we already know, Labour will not back the existing withdrawal deal, so this is simply about stopping Brexit and trying to force a general election.

Corbyn himself has signed off the motion, along with Ian Blackford (SNP), Vince Cable (Lib Dem), Caroline Lucas (Green), Liz Saville-Roberts (Plaid) and Oliver Letwin (Tory).  The interesting thing to note about the last name - Letwin - is that he is backing Michael Gove in the leadership contest, a supposedly pro-Brexit candidate...

INDY RACE BACKFIRE

The Independent made a huge balls-up yesterday with the following tweet (now deleted).  See if you spot it...

One of the 'white men' featured spotted it...

Er.....hello? pic.twitter.com/u6PXSxxAgL

The race-baiting article attached to the Independent tweet is based on some bizarre notion that the Tory leadership race is dominated by white males.  Any wanky liberal reading the article could hardly fail to agree seeing as it conveniently fails to mention Andrea Leadsom, James Cleverly or Sajid Javid (despite his picture being in the disastrous tweet).  There is a brief mention of Esther McVey, but the bulk of the article is dedicated to painting Gove, Johnson, Hunt and Raab as racists.  Oh, the irony.  The title for this disgusting piece of work is more or less:  "Mature white males can't be allowed to govern our country".  We've got news for you Jenna Norman - that discounts both Jeremy Corbyn and Vince Cable - for starters!

Ian Blackford - white, getting on a bit, and definitely male
Nicola Sturgeon - female, check.  But she's white, oh bother
Green Party (two leaders) - both white, fuck off
Adam Price - yeah, fuck off whitey
Nigel F.... UCK OFF!!!!!!!!

How is this acceptable?  Imagine for one second she was arguing against a black leadership candidate, purely because he/she were black?

It's hard to know which it is that this anti-white feminist finds more offensive - the ethnicity, age or gender of those contesting the Tory leadership, but one thing is for sure - this Tory leadership contest is actually the most diverse leadership battle there has ever been in any of the major parties.  James Cleverly, Sajid Javid, Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey have seen to that.

The 2015 Labour leadership contest was 50% female, but 100% white

MOST SHARED: WEEK 205

As the fallout from yesterday's big Loser's March continues, this BTLP original is still live and has been shared 3,228 times at the time of writing.  The 'revoke Article 50' petition is approaching 5 million signatures, but this will drop off as soon as the media stops pushing it down everyone's throats.  Pretty meaningless anyway, unless we are expected to accept the opinions of signatories from Afghanistan to Zanzibar over eligible British voters.

PS. Looking at old Vince Cable loitering behind Sadiq Khan makes you wonder if he got any abuse from the spiteful remoaners.  He's about as 'gammon' as they come (and no-one knows who he is).
