The early signs are that Theresa May was not that impressed with the way that Cameron's government went about things.

Don't know what the current Westminster gossip is about an election, I've hear early next year mentioned, but wouldn't May be silly to not go for a late September or October vote on the back of an Olympics/Brexit/LabCrash bounce?

So May looking a bit ineffectual and now approving Hinkley?

Politics fatigue?

I don't know how you Americans cope with your general election and the by now obligatory foreign trolling.

So Diane What's-her-face now leads UKIP. Nigel Farage offered his congratulations:



It seems to have reminded the internet public of sci-fi movies:



I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Personally it is a form of torture that I have to endure for 18 or so months every couple years. I hate every minute of it. Yeah it made sense to have these long elections when you had to ride your horse from hamlet to hamlet but surely we could easily do it all in two months or so today.

I'm glad that we have both of you to repeat those same lines every election cycle.

The Economist had a picture of a very cute Theresa May as a little girl.  Was she ever a hottie?

You will never hear the end of it. Because fuck these Presidential elections.

Don't be so emotional.

QuoteUnder her proposals, firms could be forced to disclose what percentage of their workforce is non-British as a way to encourage them to hire more locals.

Ms Rudd said she wanted to "flush out" companies abusing existing rules and "nudge them into better behaviour".




Looks like me getting my British citizenship will be akin to this:

P.S. Farage is back leading UKIP again. What a joke.
