I think that ignores the context of us having one of the most parliamentarian speakers in a long time as well as the government's party in open revolt against a leader they personally detest.

Republican politicians didn't turn on trump, true. But they don't seem to have our conservative politicians' love of stabbing each other in the back.

Exactly one Republican showed any kind of spine, Justin Amash, and all he got for it was a few polite claps from the media and then an impending loss of his political office. Oh there is that republican governor who wants to challenge trump but he was term limited and literally no-one cares.

Increasingly feel that Nov 1 the first boats are going to turn up to Britain, only to find that there isn't a soul on the whole island. They get into London, finding no-one, only to see CROATOAN written in 15 foot tall letters across the shard.

The difference being that according to the most prevailing theory, when that happened, the "lost" colonists integrated (willingly or not) with the natives, something the Hammond would never do. My guess is everyone walks into the ocean. Or it turns into We Happy Few or something.

Memorandums of meetings, phone calls, everything that had anything to do with brexit. As I got told, it was being quietly suggested that no matter what, there would eventually be a judicial/public inquiry on this, and the civil service was not going to be the ones being blamed (this might exclude DexEU, which was where people who hosed up were getting sent during the mandatory transfer requirements). Of course they were recording it all in expectation it would be seen, the Tories writing down their conspiracies thinking no one would leak is typical arrogance and stupidity from them (not least because of how quickly it's leaked).

imagine my loving surprise that the headline on the supposedly-impartial BBC debate is "why aren't Labour supporting an election" completely ignoring the fact that a) they are and b) this is probably the most eager in the entire history of Parliament the government have been to call an early election on themselves and literally no-one can be bothered to spend even half a second thinking about why that might be burn Broadcasting House to the loving ground imo
