Like all cults, Borisology is detached from reality and destined to end badly | Andrew Rawnsley

In thrall to one capricious character with few deep beliefs, the Tories are abandoning once-cherished convictions and trashing traditional allies

This is the price of lies among others.

Brexit: Lord Frost proposes 'entirely new' NI protocol

The UK's Brexit minister says the existing protocol cannot survive and warns the UK could still trigger Article 16.

[Ragey Erasmus]

A new NI protocol to replace the brilliant one that replaced the brilliant one that replaced Mays one?

Jesus Christ, how many times can one man be allowed to **** it up and then demand to be trusted with it again?

"Yeah we signed the agreement, but we didn't think you were serious about it."

Honestly how long before people admit that maybe this is the fault of the ones who keep agreeing then changing their mind? There are two scenarios here. Either it was a bad deal rushed through and not properly scrutinised. In which case it is the U.K governments fault or the UK government knew what was going to happen and are trying to force the E.U to change it again, which again is the fault of the UK. How long can people continue to believe the 'evil EU' narrative when at every stage it is the UK government who wants to change the deal?

Dominic Cummings says UK always intended to ditch NI protocol

Ex-adviser to PM says flawed Brexit deal was way to ‘whack Corbyn’ and ‘of course’ government can break it

Awful, awful news about the stabbing at a constituency surgery today. Still unclear (at the moment) if it is just David who has been stabbed, but praying for everyone caught up in it.

Bloody hell.
Best of luck to him in his recovery, and to the cops/CPS in nailing the SOB perpetrator

Hopefully he anyone else attacked makes a full recovery. Must be punished to full extent of the law.

No idea what drives people to do those things. Whilst on pretty much every issue I disagree with him (except animal welfare) I would never wish actual physical harm for him or anybody else.

****. "A man" confirmed dead.

Numb

Was Sir David Amess himself,



Sickening stuff.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Utterly appalling

****
RIP

Twitter and Facebook are a bit of a hellscape currently. Still there was probably one nice thing to share...

 

[Gavin]

Awful news. Quite a lot of vile stuff going on Twitter, blaming people before we know what happened.

Case in point

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Terrible. RIP. Condolences to the family.

So second MP assassinated after Jo Cox.

 

[ncurd]

Yup trying not to share most of it.

As if Rayners ehetroic had anything to do it with it take a lot lot more vile stuff to get someone to that point. Plus we don't know the facts of this case at all yet and what drove the guy to do it (apart from obviously being mentally ill).

Also people responding to condolences with just his voting record and saying "he wasn't a nice man". Like he deserved to die because he disagreed with you.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Yeah Rayner must feel like utter **** right now to be honest. She has nothing to do with it but thousands on the internet are wrongly blaming her.

Feel for everyone in parliament today. He was literally doing the most fundamentally decent job an MP can do, listening to people's woes and trying to fix them there and then. MPs will no doubt be second guessing doing that again for the next little while
