Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

Lol, even Boris' brother thinks he's acting like a twat, it seems.

Jo Johnson has the excellent quality of not being a sociopath. Quite highly regarded by the universities when he was minister for universities and science back in 2015-17.

The tories are losing all their best people.

Farage tweet on Jo Johnson: The centre of gravity in the Conservative party is shifting rapidly.

As well as actual footage of Boris saying as much, the views of his whole family serve as further evidence to underline how Boris is actually a europhile but has no principles.

Quitting your job to spend less time with your family has to be a first.

Might want to add the NSFW tag to that.  It's good, but crude.

David Cameron did this to pacify his party. I think it is fair to say he failed.

I would say Neville Chamberlain was more successful achieving peace than David Cameron was in unifying the Tories.

Fixed!

The particular problem I have with people like Johnson and Cameron is that they treat running the country as if it was a computer game. They come up with "wizard wheezes" and if it all turns to shite throw their cards in and retire on their large wealth. Their behaviour is fundamentally different to the likes of Brown or Thatcher; serious politicians I often disagreed with but never doubted their integrity or the sincerity of their intentions.

I know exactly what you mean. Fundamentally frivolous politicians lacking in convictions who appear to be in the game to stoke their already massive egos - yet their actions have serious consequences for the rest of us.

I thought of that the other day. Whenever Trump leaves office, he will just retire to Florida and continue his life as if nothing happened.
