- Jim
- Yes, Border
- What are you doing?
- Just standing here
- I see that. And I don’t mind, but it’s just that you said you were Leaving
- I am
- ... two years ago. And you’ve been standing there since then
- Doing nothing
- Doing, as you say, nothing
- I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim

- Still here so, Jim?
- I am, Border
- But you’re still ...
- Leaving. 100%. Leaving.
- Do you not feel like a bit a prick, Jim, you know saying you’re Leaving but then
- Standing here for two years in the open air doing absolutely zilch?
- That’s it, Jim
- I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Jim
- Yes, Border
- Have you thought about how to Leave?
- In what way?
- Moving is not really my area of expertise, but just off the top of my head, you could go that way👉, or that way👈. You could 🚶‍♂️or🏃🏼‍♂️or even✈️
- You’re being difficult now. I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Border
- Jim
- This is quite boring, isn’t it?
- It is that
- Did you ever hear tell of a lad called Samuel Beckett, Border?
- Oh aye. Went to school round here. Quiet lad
- ...
- Still Leaving, Jim?
- Still Leaving, Border
- Ok, Jim
- Looking forward to Leaving, Jim?
- Oh yes
- Why?
- The weather
- The weather?
- It’s going to be sunny
- Sunny?
- Yes. And uphill
- Uplands is the word, I think, Jim
- Yes. Funny uphills
- Sunny uplands, Jim
- That’s it. I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Are you ok, there, Jim?
- Oh aye, no bother, Border
- Alright. Well I’m going to sleep soon, Jim
- Goodnight, Border. I’m Leaving
- I know ... So you’ll still be here tomorrow morning, Jim?
- I will. But I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Brrrrrrr
- Are you cold, Jim? It’s a fair cool night
- N-n-n-not c-c-cold
- Have you no coat?
- I’m w-w-wrapped in my n-n-n-newly regained s-s-s-sovereignty, so I am
- It doesn’t seem to be keeping you very warm
- I’m L-L-L-Leaving, B-B-Border
- I heard that. Ok, Jim
- Jim
- ❄️
- Jim!
- ❄️
- Jim, @LaoishaO thinks this thread is being a bit cruel to you and I should give you a 🧥
- F-f-f-f ....
- Now there’s no need for that
- ... f-f-flag. Give me a flag to wrap myself in
- Oh, I see. Here you go. 🇬🇧
- Still Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Jim
- Yes, Border
- Do you have a Twitter account?
- No.
- Ok, Jim
- Morning, Border
- Jim. Still here. In the same spot
- Aye, but I’m
- ... Leaving, I know. You mentioned it. Game of chess later?
- Maybe, but I could have Left by then
- Ok, Jim
- Right, Border, game of chess
- You’ve set up the board
- I have and I’m ready to play. You’re white, so it’s your move
- Jim, we’ve had this problem before. Every time you set up the board you give me the white chess pieces and yourself black draught pieces
- I’m Leaving
- Ok
- When you Leave, Jim ...
- ... which will be soon, Border ...
- which will be soon, do you favour the Norway model?
- No way, Border. Having Left means Having Left. We can rely on WTF
- Do you mean WTO?
- No, I'm pretty sure it's WTF
- Ok, Jim
- Border
- Hello, Jean
- I see Jim’s still here
- He’s been particularly static today
- I’m Leaving
- We know, Jim
- Woof
- Jean
- Yes, Border?
- Your wee dog is peeing on Jim’s leg
- Woof woof
- I’m Leaving
- Ok, Jim
- Jim, this thread is backfiring. People are beginning to feel sorry for you
- They’re forgetting that I’m Leaving because I staged an idiotically simple referendum on a complex issue, dog whistled my way through it, & am now standing here paralyzed because I’m clueless
- Ok, Jim
- Morning, Jim
- Good morning, Border. It’s going to be a great day for Leaving
- Undoubtedly. I know this is a strange question Jim, but are you sure your name’s not Dan?
- I don’t think so. Why do you ask?
- No reason. Ok, Jim
https://t.co/w0zHAOFj1P
- Morning, Jim. Did you remember to put your clock back?
- I did, Border. It gives me an extra hour to Leave
- Ok, Jim
- Still here, Jim
- Yes but I’m Leaving
- Yeah, look Jim, I think a deal could be done this week and you’re going to have to...
- Leave? Actually I’m not quite sure I’m ready for that
- It’s more looking-like-you’re-Leaving-but-also-not-Leaving
- Well I’m ready for that
- Ok, Jim
- Border
- Jim, you scared me. I forgot you were still here
- You know how I’m Leaving
- Yes, Jim
- Well, I’m beginning to think ...
- Think what?
- ... that arguing with myself all day about it isn’t helping
- I find it very entertaining, if that’s any comfort, Jim
- Ok, Border
- Jim
- Border
- Still here, then
- 95% ready to Leave
- But 100% still here
- I hadn’t quite understood how hard it would be
- Ok, Jim
- Border
- How’s it going, Jim?
- Good. I’m Leaving. Well, I think I’m Leaving. I might be kind of staying and also Leaving a wee bit to make it look like I’m Leaving more than I’m actually Leaving
- Have you been reading @SamCoatesTimes, Jim?
- I have
- It’s ok, Jim
- Jim. Jim. Jim!
- 😬

- Paralyzed?
- Nnnn Yes. Nut Ahm neavin
- Ok, Jim
- Border
- Jim
- Is it ...?
- I don’t know, Jim
- Am I ...?
- No one knows, Jim
- I think I’m a bit scared, Border
- Me too, Jim
- Maybe we should ...
- .. just stay here and wait together for bit longer?
- That’s what I was thinking
- Ok, Jim

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.
