Turnout was just under 60%, that’s not bad for a by-election. Doesn’t bode well for the general public’s reception of Labour’s current Brexit policy does it though?
They were 'only' down from 17% in 2017, in a contest that was pitched in the media as Boris Honeymoon vs Lib Dem Fightback and where the Greens and Plaid explicitly said they weren't putting up candidates to boost the chances of a remain win. Not really sure there's much to read into it either way.

This is a hideous tragedy but also lol that the big tough cop has to use his gun to protect himself from a medium size dog and fails spectacularly plus murders someone at the same time.

Also the sheer level of disdain he has for the woman's safety and wellbeing is quite impressive

E:

30 is the number of shots it takes an idiot with a gun to kill your pet

Also uh content warning I guess since someone gets literally shot to death in this video even though you can't really see anything :smith:
There was another one in New Jersey this week where the cop successfully shot the dog to death instead of a human bystander, and in the video he literally yells ‘GET BACK!’ at the dog and then unloads a clip into it when It doesn’t comply with his orders.

The physical change he’s undergone in the last three years is incredible.

Arguing for a short, victorious war against the heathen Chinee (a paper tiger whose forces will inevitably collapse when put up against plucky John Bull). What a special brain old Rod has, how fortunate we are the Times gives him a regular platform to share it with the nation.

I wonder if it's starting to dawn on people that now Boris is in charge of the Tories, the choice really is between Corbyn and No Deal.

He's positioned himself so well, it's genuinely admirable.
:geno: *refuses to back Corbyn until it's too late*

:geno: This is Corbyn's fault.

I know the Times has been a Murdoch rag since forever, but it really seems like it's just gone full on insane in the last year or two.

https://twitter.com/BenQuinn75/status/1167094770759622657Obligatory Grauniad article where they go to the heaviest Leave-voting town in the UK and speak exclusively to old people who tell them that bulldog Boris has played a brilliant Brexit blinder to deliver England from Remoaner traitors, which they relay back in hushed tones as the true voice of the working (wo)man.

Anyway, they chose to let it conclude with this uncritical quote, great job everyone:

quote:

Like the others, the restoration of lost sovereignty was a priority but there was also a personal motivation, as she saw it, for wanting to see Brexit realised.

“My little boy is six and is extremely bright but he’s being held back because the school he goes to is one where there has been a massive influx of Romanians, Poles and other people, and the teacher’s time is being taken up with teaching their children how to speak English in the first place,” said Scarrott, who noted that most of her customers spoke in accents that appeared to be from overseas.

She was grateful for their custom but believed that the NHS, schools and other services were “overrun”, which she felt put current Westminster manoeuvring in the shade as an issue.
'a personal motivation, as she saw it'

So yeah, kinda mad at video games right now.
This definitely isn't an appropriate circumstance for a 'that escalated quickly' joke, but I'm not sure how else to react to this, jesus christ:
