Where is that dog that Boris adopted, by the way

Did Gove drown it with his bare hands and no expression

They gave it to Heseltine to "do something with the dog" and there was a hilarious misunderstanding.

yeah they robbed the ice sculptures of much effect by putting them at the ends there, they should've been full placeholders and given equal time so everyone had to stare at melting ice for ten minutes or so

For British Thanksgiving instead of a turkey they grind up the bladder and colon of a sheep and make it into a pie.

There'd need to be a by election. If it was a safe Tory seat that would be a formality - but Boris isn't especially well liked within the party so finding someone in a safe seat willing to step down might not be easy.

but yeah, well-known jewish intellectuals like chomsky and graeber are out and about pointing out the weakness of the labour antisemitism attack line and they're not getting traction at all, even in non-reactionary publications like the guardian. it's deeply disconcerting that such a transparent falsehood has become basically dogma
