I don't normally respect May, but kudos here. This is how all western leaders greeting Putin should look.

Here, Rand, this is what your country has wrought. Despicable:

And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Trump lite is hyperbolic.
Yes, he often is.

Well played. All form, no substance, except the form is itself a joke.

Ballot papers arrived with the members today. A significant proportion of votes will be filled in today. To coincide both candidates had headlining interviews with papers.
Boris chose to go with increasing Police numbers, with a target of 20,000 new Police officers.
Hunt chose to go with fox hunting, with a target of overturning the ban on fox hunting to legalise hunting with hounds again.
WTF!? Oh and while it may be a stereotype that Tories hunt, the polling evidence is that two-thirds of Tories view it as cruel and want it to be illegal. As do I.
I know someone who voted Remain in the referendum and has been a die hard opponent of Boris who has been looking forward to voting for Hunt who is furious with him for this and is considering voting for Boris as he can't endorse cruelty to animals like this.
Shouldn't the talking point for both be Brexit plans and strategy anyway? There's literally nothing more important than that right now. Plus, you're not having new elections for the house so why are they even campaigning on things like this.
Edit: and if Brexit is mishandled and the economy goes to shit good luck paying for 20.000 new police officers.
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Brexit has been the main talking point of course but they're both claiming the same policy (negotiate a solution to backstop, no deal as last resort if necessary). However who wins won't just become Minister for Brexit they are going to become Prime Minister so policies for all subjects matter.
Wanna bet?
LOL, the news in the UK is the potential candidacy of Osborne for the IMF. Talk about a dead cat.

That bodes very ill of Theresa May and nobody else if there is any truth to that story.
Someone had fun with that headline
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Looks like Johnson is cool with customs borders within the UK after all:

Perhaps NI should just pay off the prospective PM.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Sounds like a good proposal. Places like Liverpool and Grimsby could really benefit from this.
I'm a long term fan of the idea of a Singapore Brexit.
I too am a fan of unicorns.
Though I applaud Johnson's decision to permit a backstop for NI, I must confess I'm beginning to suspect he may be dumb as shit:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-learn-english
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
WTF are you talking about? The backstop for NI isn't mentioned in that link.
Obviously if Boris can accept a customs border around Bristol, he can accept one around NI. This is just the break negotiators have been waiting for. The first link pertains to his concession on the issue of internal borders. The SECOND link pertains to the issue of his stupidity.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
LOL @ Singapore Brexit. Little England apparently isn't small enough for the resident brexitard.
Congratulations America
More on the language issue. I see Rand is still pretending Johnson isn't running on a Trumpist nationalist platform. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/06/w...s-english.html

Learning English is Trumpist?
Are you aware it is already the law for non-EU migrants?
Are you aware 90% of EU secondary school students learn English?
Are you aware that what Bozo said was
Johnson is leveraging precisely the same type of racist dog whistle politics that have taken root in the US and flourished under Trump.“Too often there are parts of our country, parts of London still and other cities as well, where English is not spoken by some people as their first language."
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Read the article. It's clearly a non-issue. He's pandering to the racists, knowing the rest of the Tories will explain away his actions (case in point, you).

Is there any reason to believe that this addresses a real problem? It looks Johnson is making a typical dog whistle to xenophobes.

Not common at all. I'm too lazy to work out the precise degree of relatedness from this http://www.mordaunt.me.uk/london.html

Absolutely not Trump like at all. When have you ever seen Trump simply admit he doesn't know something like Boris did there? He didn't call Neil a liar or anything and just outright said no which was the right thing to do there, because had he tried to bluff rather than say no Neil would have nailed him on it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Andrew Neil is by far and away the best interviewer there is. Utterly impartial and ruthless and doesn't put up with any bullshit or obfuscation.
