It's an interesting Q as to whether if there was an indisputable smoking gun linking Trump to the crimes the GOP would have the guts to properly turn on him (impeachment etc...).

It’s not too late. Reform are a mess, even with their poll lead. No-one else has stormed ahead. Labour still has a massive majority. The problem is really that they’ve chosen a terrible path and are too stubborn to admit it.

Politeness in politics = accusing the “other side” of just about anything other than what they actually are culpable for
It is amazing how we just seem to accept what has happened despite knowing full well it was achieved fraudulently and backed by bad actors

The reaction in Britain? Sometimes passive, sometimes phlegmatic, sometimes polite.
(let me reaffirm that politeness in politics and even protest is generally to be admired, and something generally positive about the UK)
But not anger. Not the warranted anger for what has happened.

I have to say, this is earlier than I had expected. But if the UK wants to benefit from being inside the SM, it has to contribute.
As for wanting to pay half as much as others for Erasmus, where do they get off?
The Uk chose Brexit. Stop asking others to pay their way.
