Wow, the Tories have just imploded, their only allies are the no-kidding-nuts DUP. Meanwhile, pro-Corbyn chants are now a thing at every football pitch in Britain.

You've got no Brexit plan and a dismal snap election, and you're banging 'em together!

... pro-Corbyn chants are now a thing at every football pitch in Britain unlike, say, games or goalposts - this being the summer.

I especially enjoyed the part where she talks about constructive dialogue with "our Continental allies"... the taunting French cunnigget. (raspberry)

I was ready to hate this.
I did the opposite of hate this.

The Black Borist Of Aarrrgggh was a particularly deft touch.
But oh dear, those monotone lecturing schoolmistress tones of the Maybot are hard to bear. She has the charisma of a dead lamprey.

Is this where we're putting Brexit-related links for the time being?
Independent has an exclusive video of the newest member of Theresa May’s Brexit negotiating team calling for the destruction of the European Union at a Libertarian Alliance conference in 2010. He addressed a cheering audience, saying, "I think Ukip and the Better Off Out campaign lack ambition. I think the European Union needs to be wholly torn down." He went on, "What I want is free trade and peace among all the nations of Europe as well as the world and in my view the European Union is an obstacle to that."
Edit: I would like to apologize for the way in which politicians are represented in this post. It was never my intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed, political time-servers who are more concerned with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government. Nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent. Nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do I intend that readers should consider them as crabby, ulcerous, little self-seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive. I am sorry if this impression has come across.
