Looks like it’s a Pride month thing.

One of the architects of Brexit (and the original negotiator) says Brexit is failing as it’s a “remainers’ Brexit”. To these people, it’ll never be Brexit enough as long as the UK has any treaties with the EU and all the foreigners haven’t been deported.

If only someone hadn’t made it far more difficult to trade with neighbouring economies…

It was an internal Tory party vote of confidence rather than a House of Commons vote of confidence. I should’ve made that clearer.

Johnson survived the vote, but I don’t think he’ll last much longer…

General election incoming?

Depressingly there’s already a conspiracy theory that the BBC edited the booing into the audio feed, which the Tory culture minister seems to be stoking.

Are they booing or chanting “Boo-ris”?

My MP’s become the first Tory MP to openly admit that Brexit was a bad idea in practice and to float the idea of a partial reversal (rejoining the EEA).

"Racial confusion” sounds awfully like a euphemism for what the Fash call “race mixing”.

Many Tories, including senior minister Michael Gove, have been vocal for years that they consider the Good Friday Agreement to be a ‘surrender’ to Ireland. Plus problems emerging in northern Ireland would be a distraction to the public from other matters, and something else they can blame on the EU.

Not literally enforced, but that feeling that is almost is. Which honestly I don’t remember being the case back in 2002 or 2012. Way more visible. And way more sinister feeling, given the post 2016 world.

you jest, but prominent Brexiteers did talk about “taking Ireland back from Brussels” and forcing Ireland into leave the EU. They’re pretty much quiet on that now, but the underlying line of thought about Ireland by Brexit supporters is that Ireland is a jumped up little colony that should know...

Anyone living in Canada, Australia, NZ or elsewhere still with the British monarch as head of state – are they recognising the queen’s platinum jubilee over there? It’s plastered everywhere here, can’t avoid it. All the media, shops, libraries, etc. Enforced national celebration. Makes me feel...

Isn’t a Quebec Conservative Party more than a bit redundant given there’s already several right-leaning parties in Quebec? (I’ve always assumed that the Quebec Liberals were like a provincial PC elsewhere, CAQ is more of a Reform/Alliance for francophones, and PQ has a nasty redbrown streak.)

The government’s announced a move to imperial measurements from metric. No one under the age of sixty was taught solely imperial in school, and I certainly don’t have a clue about them. That’s Brexit, shitting over the younger generations to appease old reactionaries.

Basically becoming a dictatorship at this point. So much open corruption.

Britain’s establishment still trying to break up the EU, perhaps not coincidentally in a way that would benefit Russia.

Have to say, as someone who recognises he lives in a very fucked-up country which has become borderline unrecognisable over the last six years, I’m absolutely dismayed at the regularity of mass shootings in the States. This isn’t right or natural or inevitable. This shouldn’t be allowed to...

The Labor Party has beaten the Liberal/National coalition. Just a matter of time to see if Labor has a majority or it’s a hung parliament.
