Not since the Trojans wheeled a wooden horse into the city has anyone made such a huge a mistake of letting an enemy in as the UK government.
To be fair on the Trojans, they didn’t already know the enemy was inside the horse.

Maybe the greatest example of the bizarro world in which we now live is that European states are maintaining the dangerous fiction that the US would fight for them, when the more likely use of US military force would be to kick Europe out of Greenland.

Populist bullshitter Alexandra Phillips is on BBC2 Politics Live. Why? Because privately funded populist channel 'Talk' pays her to present on there, and the BBC feels duty-bound to represent all opinion... and thereby make it mainstream.
This is how it works.

The Daily Mail: a daily drag on the nation’s sanity, dignity and prosperity. Rocking back and forward in the corner shouting that Brexit was a win and improving on our relationship with the EU is a BeTRaYaL of all the special things it cannot name.
Subverting failure. How very dare we.

It would be nice to think that he could take advantage of what Trump is doing to destabilise the world order to make the case for working much more closely with a trustworthy partner, and undo some of the damage of Brexit.

Nigel Farage is racist yes , but even more concerning in the present is that a party led by such a racist and is a public limited company funded by foreign money should be nowhere near a UK Parliament.

Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.
He can absolutely do one.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

What is abundantly clear is that there is no majority supporting Brexit. Quite the opposite. Every single poll and survey shows Brexit supporters are a minority.
Continuing with Brexit is a vote loser.

A sixth of public - 10 million - report being very sympathetic to people crossing the Channel in boats. Up to half have a fair amount of sympathy. A broad majority want to play our part protecting refugees in a better managed way. Contact between refugees & local people should be part of that
