“When that unexpected gust of wind caught hold of his foolishly oversized Union Jack umbrella and sent him hurtling into the electricity pylon, we lost one of finest men of this or any other generation...”

“Mr Johnson was told numerous times that consuming a 100-yr old tin of Bully Beef was not advisable...”

Blunkett wrote a piece a week or so ago proposing a GE would be Tories+Brexit alliance vs Labour and LibDem.

Was an interesting analysis.

But Corbyn would need to set out his stall as a realistic alternative. And the new LibDem leader has stated no deal with Labour. 

So that's that fucked.

The Turkish President believes UK-Turkey relations will improve now.
Watch as we end up giving Turkey visas after years of fear mongering over Turkey joining the EU and brown people having freedom of movement.

At least he's a decent guitarist.

I'm pretty sure the BBC homepage is down.
A good start.

It’s the Tory way, hold onto power by any means necessary.

Jo Swinson has ruled out a coalition with the Tories under Johnson, as well as working with Labour to form a government with Corbyn, so fuck knows where that leaves the great progressive coalition. Then again, it's not as though the Lib Dems have a history of flip-flopping on promises or anything.

Johnson might also blow up the DUP because he's a fucking idiot.

So Johnson in power in the UK, trump looking good for 2020 and putin solid as a rock....

Fuck it, I have to go now. My planet needs me.

We've all had do get hideously drunk, so seeing anything right now is a challenge.

Where is Carrie Symonds?
Why was she not there today?
Will she be there tomorrow when he opens the door to No10?

His first duty upon entering No.10 will probably be to scout around for the most attractive female aid he can begin boffing anyway.

Joined the Labour Party today.  As it became increasingly obvious that Boris was going to win the nomination, I wanted to mark the day that idiot got swore in as Prime Minister, not with a resigned shrug and a tired acceptance that we now have a racist, homopphobic idiot as leader, but with an understanding that enough really is enough, and the days of these hapless Eton toffs lording it over the rest of us has to stop.

It was an easy decision for me to make; I live in a marginal constituency where Labour are in second place behind a Tory barely hanging onto a 1000 majority. So I know if I volunteer in my community as a Labour activist, my actions can make a difference. 

I also live in a town that has the highest proportion of old people per head of the population in the land.  So I look forward to knocking on doors telling them all if they vote Corbyn, you'll get your free TV license back.

If the Tories lose this next by-election, they'll be down to a majority of 1.  The DUP have also announced today that are about to review their supply and demand arrangement with the Torys.  Johnson may wish to hang on till 2022, but the likelihood of that now seems remote. A GE is imminent. 

Never been particularly politically active before, but today really was a tipping point. I implore you all to get active yourselves, whatever your allegiances, and get this ignoramus out of No. 10.
