    I hear the real reason he resigned as Britait Secretary is because his bar tab was no longer going to be claimed under expenses

    His version of events is that he resigned because the Dire Leader's proposal gives up far too much.

    Just to remind everyone, in the first round of Britait negotiations last June, Davis conceded the every single one of Barnier's demands within fifteen minutes of talks beginning: https://www.theguardian.com/politic...mand-to-agree-divorce-bill-before-trade-talks

    Meanwhile, the waffling gargoyle who got us into this mess and then ****ed off when he got us into said mess has been gleefully posing with a tope he caught in British waters, even though that species is listed by the IUCN list as Vulnerable if caught in European waters, meaning it should be returned the the sea immediately rather than allowed to die so you can take a photo with it to prove what a redneck dickhead you are

    David Cameron has let himself go.

  6. Boris has followed Davis out of the door. Duplicitous fecker - his little gang had this planned last week I'm sure. Be interesting to see if Gove joins them. He was positioning himself for the Brexit role but that went elsewhere.

    Knives well and truly out for May now....

    She was unfit for purpose from day 1.

    Acquired the job because she was the only one
    that wasn't getting fatally knifed in the back when
    the TRUE instigator (Cameron) initiated one of
    the truly arrogant acts of political cowardice ever seen.

  8. Rees-Mogg: ‘I'd turn down foreign secretary job‘

    Apparently, he’s only just come to terms with the concept of motorised ground transport, the thought of stepping into a machine that would take him into the clouds is a step too far...... <laugh>

    Boris Johnson has harrumphed that the Dire Leader is suffocating the dream of Britait

    Would that dream have anything to do with the NHS receiving an extra £350m a week? Because that was suffocated by Boris announcing that wouldn't be happening within hours of the result coming through.

  12. Trump (somewhat accurately for a change) describes the UK being in turmoil - but keep your horrid little orange nose out of our mess! It’s our feckin’ turmoil and doesn’t need your input <laugh>
    Particularly as he has just let slip his friendship with Boris.........

    Today's list of Tory casualties are vice chairs of the party Maria Caulfield and Ben Bradley. If the name Ben Bradley sounds familiar, that's the bloke who had to publicly apologise after he received a polite but firm phonecall from Jeremy Corbyn's solicitors

    ...and for saying the unemployed should all have vasectomies to stop them breeding
    ...and for saying that police brutality wasn't brutal enough - three days after the death of Mark Duggan
    ...and for threatening a journalist for reporting that a Tory councillor was posting Islamophobic material online

    Meanwhile...

  14. A Times journo writing for the NY Times this morning:
    "For the second time in three years, Boris Johnson, a politician whose ambition and superficial charm far outstrip his ability, judgment or principles, is destabilizing the British government and threatening the country’s future."

    It's a very good article, but this description of the blond airhead is particularly apposite.

    Boris Johnson was born in New York.
    Hopefully, post Brexit, there will be grounds for deporting him
