It’s all gone a bit round head vs cavalier, to be honest.
Farage, Boris or Corbyn as PM. Time to start pricing a length of rope.
Edit: the daily disintegration of Dan Hannan is rather funny.

The new Lord Protector is weighing in?
In his second extraordinary intervention into British politics ahead of this week’s state visit, the US president suggested the UK should “walk away” from talks and refuse to pay the £39bn divorce bill if its requests were not met.
Trump told the Sunday Times it was a “mistake” not to involve Farage in negotiations, saying the Brexit party leader had a “lot to offer” and was someone he liked a lot. Trump added: “He is a very smart person. They won’t bring him in. Think how well they would do if they did. They just haven’t figured that out yet.”
The president, who will arrive in London on Monday, said the British government had to “get the deal closed”. He said: “If they don’t get what they want, I would walk away … If you don’t get the deal you want, if you don’t get a fair deal, then you walk away.”
Trump said that if he was in charge, he would not pay the EU divorce bill. He also claimed it was not too late to “sue” the EU to give Britain greater “ammunition” in the talks. He told the paper: “If I were them I wouldn’t pay $50bn. That is me. I would not pay, that is a tremendous number.”
Meanwhile Trump vowed to “go all out” to secure a free trade deal between the UK and US within months of Britain leaving the EU.

These and the Bank of England.
Useless all of them.

Indeed not.
They simply want the trains to run on time.
A problem in Italy is that the people who know what it’s like to live under fascism are very old, or more likely, dead. This allows for a romanticized view of fascism with no one to step up and say it’s merda.

@Legalsteel could you clear this up for me but as I understand in the Peterborough by-election the raging anti-semites lost to Lisa Forbes, who believes that May is controlled by “Zionist slave masters”?
So the choice was whether the people wanted to be represented by a rightwing or a leftwing antisemite?

No no, Ioppar, you’ve misread it entirely. The right wing forces of darkness, who are definitely racist by merit of not being in Labour, were bested by a noble trade union activist who accidentally liked a bunch of anti-Semitic threads. Momentum overcame the bad luck their members keep running into on social media.

This is the current state of politics. Left wing or right wing. Pick your racist.

I’m starting to doubt the value of the Oxford PPE graduates. It’s almost as if it mildly less qualitative a training method than supposed.

Dear Lord, if I was a cokehead I’d stop doing it out of principle after this. What has become of the fabled coke if Gove was taking it?

No one deeply regrets doing coke. Even people that completely wreck their lives are like “Yeah, that shit can mess you up, But

He’s right, of course. But as it’s Gove, I sincerely hope it does.

Personally I think all senior government officials should be off their tits all of the time. It might help them make better decisions.
