Conspiring to overthrow a UK Prime Minister might be called a coup. To do so for payment from and the interests of a foreign state like the US, contrary to UK interests? Treason. For the benefit of an enemy state like Russia? Traitors. For which the highest penalties are reserved.

No one puts it better.
Farage scrabbles around in his grubby little cesspit of cheats, fools and racists and chooses Robert *cash-for-favours* Jenrick as his chancellor. I guess it was between him, a tax dodger or a couple of morons.

There was a big fight in Lidl Harrogate today. The poor staff who had to deal with it. The thing I found funny is that it was reported to be in the “ready meals” section. I kid you not.
