Well I’m pretty sure Boris had some dancing on his pole in exchange for money.

6263

So he knobbed her and she mysteriously got money to arrange a bunch of right-wing Breitbart talks. Nice.

6264

We beat them in 1945 and we’ll beat them again. The last few days have been good for anti-fascism on both sides of the Atlantic.

6265

Johnson just said in the Commons that the best way of honouring the memory of Jo Cox and of bringing this country together is to get Brexit done.

Seriously WTF!?

6266

Utterly disgraceful. Here he is earlier:

Transcript for those who prefer reading to video:

Boris carelessly flicking lit matches towards a nearby podwer keg. Actually sickened that we have a PM who would act like this.

6267

He’s human slime.

6268

All I can think is that he and Trump were separated at birth. One was sent far away. So that much pure evil wasn’t concentrated in one place.

It feels like something changed tonight.

On Newsnight, the BBC’s serious daily news analysis programme:

(Bernard Jenkin is a Tory MP - EDIT here’s a clip)

Party leaders past & present:

It looks like the usual partisan rhetoric to me.

I liked Guido’s reaction:

Trump and Johnson going down in flames tonight.

The Brexiters are sweating like a paedo in a playground, Johnson is literally like Their Best Of The Best they can put forward and still the most gigantic fuckup in the history of fuckups.

Edit: Imagine two impeachments of two far/hard right ethno-nationalist fascists at the same time. Both of them Bannons boys too. All that Koch money down the drain.

6273

This is what many said while following Trump down the road to hell.

6274

I am jealous that your terrible leader is getting grief for saying ‘humbug’.

6275

You’ve not answered the smiley question.

6276

… because Boris is still bullish about leaving the EU.
I also find it ironic that Remainers are crying democratic foul whilst pursuing an agenda to frustrate a referendum result.

6277

This a million times.

6278

The referendum should have been tossed. It was based on lies, deceit, and Russian interference.

That was NOT democracy and you know it. You only claim it was democratic because your side eeked out the votes. Keep lying to yourself that that was true democracy. It wasn’t.

6279

What I see is people using whatever legal means are available to fight illegal activity that is being justified based on a narrow victory in a non-legally-binding referendum that took place over three years ago.

6280

If you change “Remainers” to “Brexiters” and “frustrate a referendum result” to “subjugate democratic institutions” this sentence would make just as much sense, perhaps even more!

6281

I don’t really understand this clinging to the result of a single ancient referendum by Leave supporters. Surely the results of a referendum don’t bind future governments to its results, regardless of what the government of the time promised.

Admittedly, I have no idea if they’re legally bound under UK law, but non-binding should be non-binding.
