In the news

John Bolton

The more I read about him, the more scared I get.

Yep, lots of articles calling him the most dangerous man in the world, which probably isn't a huge exaggeration:

Details and context.

may . gone
thank fuck for that

Given the contenders to replace her,
we may look back on the inertia and lack of progress
of her nearly 3 years as better than the 'Out by Halloween'
being touted by the brexiteurs.

was gonna do a postscript that the next one could well be worse !
you beat me to it

I'd heard a rumour she was applying for an extension today...

Olivia Coleman, Elvis Costello, Feargal Sharkey, Simon Russell Beale among those to disappoint by accepting honours from the British Empire.

She is still PM.

I am praying that she had the chutzpah to throw an A50 revocation as her last hurrah. Just to give her successor the same chances as she had, you understand.

Also that noted establishment figure MIA

MIA MBE wtf?!

Highlighting refugee issues?

After watching the MIA documentary I'm hoping her profile gets bigger again now after the post super bowl lul.

Edit-

Surprised she accepted really, would have put her down as refusing any Empire related tosh.

Pro-Brexit activists try to remove an MP who three times voted for a
deal that would have ended UK’s EU membership in March. Conservatives
need to decide if they’re a party of government or a death-cult.

Some top class logic there 😂

Why are MPs suddenly admitting drug use?

For Gove, it was going to come out in a soon to be published book, so he admitted it to manage the damage.

When he was Secretary of State, Michael Gove brought in a lifetime ban for teachers who used cocaine.

McVey- grass

Boris- cocaine

Stewart- opium

Few cans of mojito and we've got a party!

Experts say region is losing the battle to stop the biggest animal disease outbreak the planet has ever faced

I don't really watch the news so don't know if this has had much coverage, but it seems like it should be a big story.

Perhaps he'll report to his local police station soon.

Oh wait, being done on minor drug offences is for the riff raff.

It all comes up now due to the leadership contests. I think.

As squeaky Owen said:

“If you are a privileged white politician in power & with influence,
you can dismiss your history of taking drugs as a youthful
indiscretion, whereas a young black person in Hackney can be stopped
and searched, found with drugs & then face life-changing consequences”
@OwenJones84

I can normally take or leave the Owen Jones show. But he's spot-on there.

Rumours are that Boris dobbed Gove in for his coke parties.

Frankie Boyle on Gove:
Looks like a ventriloquists dummy carved from the wood of the Yewtree Operation Yewtree was named after.

Enforced Morality keeps the plebs in check. Different rules for the bosses.

Gove's old PA now works for Boris and a book was about to drop the story he admitted it in a media training session too
