Can you imagine Trump and Boris? Is this the end-times punishment for our nations, payback for the truly shitty, murderous past of our governments?

I’m not sure, they will play well together.

Does that mean Donald’s carriage ride has been cancelled ? He will be pissed…

That’s the most frightening part.

I look forward eagerly to the next British government, which will undoubtedly figure out how to shed all those pesky EU regulations and expenses, keep out those horrid brown people, but still enjoy unfettered access to the European market.

It’s going to be one hell of a magic pony when it prances onto the world stage.

For me, Donald Trump’s sick, broken incompleteness doesn’t really exist on a spectrum of zero respect to total respect. It’s like asking if I respect a rock, or respect the color blue, or respect the concept of a logarithm.

Out of all leaders of relatively stable, relatively non-failed states who generally knew or should have known better, I cannot think of a world leader in my lifetime who I respect less than I respect Theresa May.

To adopt a phrase, “failure means failure”. You got that one right, Ms. May.

So she’s kindly staying until someone else is chosen. And cancelling party elections until after brexit.

Just leave already.

It’s being reported Boris Johnson is a leading candidate to replace May. He advocates a hard Brexit, and has made it known the economic fallout from that strategy is secondary to just getting it done and over with, immediately, with no delay for any reason.

Idjit.

She’s also kindly staying through Spankee’s visit.

Of course, he probably won’t want to talk to a LOSER any more…

A tip: Google “Sky News Live” and, with luck, you find a live stream, with quite competent (British) journalism and interviews with UK polticians.

The Tories have signed on for several weeks of leadership contest – a sort of summer camp for excluded adults, where activities include aggravated fratricide, country-shafting and horrifying unforced errors in truth-or-dare.

If it’s imported bread from the EU there will have to be steep tariffs imposed. Because unfair!!

May called it the “honor of my life” to serve as prime minister

How can she feel honored if no one honored her?

By that I mean, this is just the start. The karma-ledger is still way off balance, of course.
