Brexiteers actually told us that Brexit would only stop people coming in, and wouldn’t affect British people going out. You know things are bad for Brexit when the BBC News admits there’s a problem.

It seems unbelievable by modern standards that the governments of the world acted so decisively about banning CFCs, rather than ignoring the damage and/or turning it into a culture war issue... Those truly were different times.

The British media are raging about the long delays at British ports in Kent caused by Brexit, which they’re blaming on France. (Passports didn’t need stamping when the UK was in the EU due to freedom of movement.)

Looks like the UK will be next in line to ban abortion.

Highest ever recorded temperatures in the UK, and the media are calling us snowflakes for noticing the dangerous heat.

IIRC, the Labour Party has more registered members, but that’s more to do with Labour membership being given to people who join affiliated trade unions.

Oh, remember my local Tory MP said Britain needs to start reversing Brexit by (re)joining the EEA? He’a just got kicked out of the party conveniently while he’d been sent to visit the president of Moldova.

Yeah. Was a bit weird. I guess it’s reinforcing the idea that the Tory party = British state in some way. Apparently less than 200,000 people are Tory party members, which is a small proportion of a country with seventy million people in it…

To be fair, there’s only so much of seeing rich right-wing people calling each other “socialists” that one person can take.

The Tory leadership contest seems to consist of the contenders trying to be more anti-Europe, transphobic and economically right-wing than each other. Also, we’re having a major heatwave tomorrow where temperatures are forecast to reach an unprecedented 40 degrees in parts of Britain, and Tory...

A sitting member of the House of Lords (and former MP and MEP), everyone. Perfectly normal country.

Blame the EU for record temperatures while also claiming that belief climate change is “woke” and that the leftover EU environmental laws are crippling the economy.

Reminds me, we used to have dramatic assassination attempts on prime ministers when the Provisional IRA was still a thing – infamously blowing up an entire hotel in Brighton where the government were staying, and launching mortar shells into the back garden of Number 10 Downing Street. That all...

It shouldn’t be 32 degrees in England basically ever. 20 degrees used to be considered an abnormally hot summer day here relatively recently. This is not good.

British newspapers taking the events of yesterday well…

Something positive, I guess.

TBH, there’s little chance we’ll get anyone who’s significantly different from Boris Johnson. Other than less haphazard and incompetent.

He’s toast!

Most of the Tory party are Starscreams, to be fair.
