Johnson’s just sacked the (G1 cartoon) Soundwave to his Megatron.

Wow, that’s brinkmanship.

Way higher chance of Bojo getting removed than Trump ever was – remember, parliamentary system. I think he’ll be gone by late September. Not that it’ll fundamentally change anything in terms of how this country is run, other than presentationally.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Secretary for Health Sajid Javid have just resigned, and some other ministers may be imminently resigning. Could this be the end for the prime ministerial career of Boris Johnson – the final end?

That was mostly Brexiteers misrepresenting the issues with Catalonia. There wouldn’t be any major issue with Scotland being a candidate member state as long as it didn’t unilaterally secede and cause s big legal mess.

That site’s unofficial and out of date in some of its information, but I see what you mean. TBH, anyone here who can get Irish citizenship, that’s an alternative route into the UK – Ireland’s criteria for getting citizenship by descent is far easier to match than Britain’s, and the UK treats...

That’s why I’m worried that they’ll attempt another coup d’etat during the mid-terms.

Not even hiding it any more, are they?

I’m really quite upset by this, even as someone who lives on the other side of the world and isn’t directly affected by this.* I mean, it’s a dark day for the demo democratic world that a plank of reproductive rights and secular legislation in the last remaining major world power has been torn...

What a surprise.

The Liberal Democrats are really smashing the recent by-elections. (This was the seat vacated by a Tory MP who was caught watching porn in the House of Commons.)

Until the final line, my brain half-thought that was about Boris Johnson.

Macron’s projected to have lost his parliamentary majority in the National Assembly.
