Here’s the Sun’s take (in England)


Hissing, hackles lifting, the chicken's head rose.

Boris pulled back.

Its claws digging into stiff dead flesh, the chicken slowly turned to face him. It cocked its head, making its comb flop, its wattles sway.

"Shoo," Boris heard himself whisper.

There wasn't enough light, and besides, the side of its beak was covered with gore, so he couldn't tell if it had the dark spot. But he didn't need to see it.

"Blimey, help me," he prayed under his breath.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in his heart he knew it wasn't. In that instant, he completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was communism manifest.

UK House of Commons Speaker separate from the parties? Not like the US where the speaker is the head of the majority?

Bercow was a Tory. when an MP becomes Speaker, they technically become Independent and their seat is not challenged in elections by the major parties (the Tories might this time)

Bercow used to be hard-right but he moderated over time to the point where there were rumors he would defect to Labour. he was elected Speaker when Gordon Brown was PM with a large majority and they had to have a Tory that time because tradition

Tories have been trying to get rid of him for a long time so they could replace him with a stooge

assuming boris loses the next election badly and brexit is revoked without a referendum, what stops the tories of 2024 or 2029 from running on a brexit manifesto, winning a majority government with a plurality under FPTP and exiting without a deal?

I just heard some Boris supporting Tory on the radio say that Boris is "playing 3 dimensional poker" with Brexit and that is the stupidest loving variation of "playing 4 dimensional chess" I've ever heard. Chess is played on a 2d grid whereas Poker has no relation to space at all, and 4-dimensional is all freaky hypercube wormholes whereas 3d is just real life. So basically Boris is literally just playing normal loving poker.

These people are so comically stupid.

corbyn did not want this. it was forced on him by the membership and his cabinet. he wanted to run on a soft brexit as he had in 2017

the 2019 position was simple. anyone saying it was too complicated was just playing dumb

This really mega sucks for you guys.

Like even under two years of Trump and a Republican congress in both houses at least like some of us could enjoy having blue state houses and/or governors. And I guess the Scots, Norn Irish, and Welsh have their equivalents of such things.

But for the English is there like... anything at all shielding you from full on Tory apocalypse right now?

trump received pushback from the courts
pushback from the Constitution
pushback from the media
pushback from his party in congress

I can't believe before the election I thought the revelation that "50,000" new nurses was bullshit would damage the tories. They're doubling down on it and it won't matter.
Everything is so stupid and trumpian.

in his victory speech, Johnson asked his audience to shout out how many new nurses ("50000!") and how many new hospitals ("40!")

both lies which were immediately identified as absurd lies and challenged whenever they were mentioned

it's a post-truth world where conservative parties gloat about their Big Lies

The Leave-supporting Labour voters in the north who cared that much about racism didn't switch to the Brexit party or the Tories. They targeted 'Workington Man' fixated on political correctness gone mad and who probably had never met anyone Jewish or seen a synagogue. It wasn't direct like 'he hates Jews, I'm a Tory now'

This bus was targeted at one of those seats and even though it implies Corbyn is a child molester it conspicuously does not mention anti-Semitism at all:
