Mr Abbott's meeting with Mr Johnson, kept secret by both parties until now, has been exposed by a Labour MP whom Tony Abbott confided in, not realising he was a Labour and not a Tory MP.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It's disturbing how many Australian Prime Ministers turn out to be the dregs of British politics, if such a thing is even possible.

Apparently we have tons of pommy cops, too.

The Sun has campaigned for the Government to create an enduring gesture to mark Brexit as a landmark national moment, such as a special stamp or coin.

don't tell the brits about the commemorative 9/11 coin sold on tv where the towers can rise (as long as you've got a sharp enough fingernail to pick them up)

"the coin arrives with a map of the colonial power we all miss, but features a mechanism to easily drop kick the uk's influence to an even lower level than it is nowadays!"

Your Tory pols are counting on Brexit being bad enough to collapse the government but not bad enough to destroy their (kinda) majority.

Literally their plans don't extend beyond the next six months.

to be fair they did somewhat plan ahead by gerrymandering the entire UK with a totally impartial redrawing of the electoral boundaries that sees them lose about 15 seats and Labour closer to 30.

So good. It was a bright spot after the absolute despair of brexit.


What do we reckon are the chances of them calling another election before March? Or is May just happy to be in charge, even if it's just presiding over a smoking pile of rubble?

No chance of an election before Brexit now, there's still a ton on Brexit negotiations that need to happen and need a government to handle.

I'm slightly sad the DUP didn't nuke the budget. I'm not sure if they still can.
