Journalists attacking members of the public for handing journalists information concerning the behaviour of someone trying to become prime minister. The fucking embarrassment of it.
I'm about as sympathetic to the whole 'private lives of politicians' thing as you can be. I don't care how many children Johnson has.
But if you think that his girlfriend screaming 'get off me' in the dead of night when he's running to be prime minister isn't a story, and isn't worth asking questions about, then you need your head examined.

So my friend runs this brilliant charity, which takes people with physical or intellectual disabilities, or from difficult circumstances, and turns them into a working crew on these bloody great big purpose-built tall ships which sail around the world.
It's the absolute dog's bollocks of a thing. It does something profoundly and unarguably good. Here's a statement by someone who's gone on one of the trips plus some photos.
Anyway, they're financially in major trouble. Turns out running two disability-enabled square-rigged tall boats is expensive.

Not a massive fan of this Lib Dem European stunt. Be quite nice to maintain a cultural line between what you need in a campaign and what you need when acting as an MEP.
And the Brexit party turning their back on the chamber during Ode to Joy is such a typically disrespectful, childish, small-minded response.
Poor Europeans. We're turning that place into as much of a clown car as it is over here.

That was the thing I took home about Glasto when I went a couple years back: the sense that every band there is going to give it absolutely fucking everything.
That goes for the audience too. They are there for the biggest weekend imaginable. It is a frenzy, in the best possible way.

Team takeover for speech on No Deal preparations @Policy_Exchange: Since the start of this leadership campaign I’ve travelled more than 3,000 miles across the United Kingdom. #HastobeHunt
I’ve had fish and chips on a Scottish trawler, a balti in Birmingham and a cream tea in Devon.

Most of all I have enjoyed talking and debating with members of the public about the changes I want to make if I become Prime Minister. #HastobeHunt
As an entrepreneur I want to fire up our economy, cut corporation tax and scrap business rates for thousands of high street companies up and down the country. #HastobeHunt

The great grandson of the Minister of Interior in the cabinet of the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire is about to be elected leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of the UK.His name is @BorisJohnson.Only the Ancient of Days could have done this.God is truly great!
One century ago,the Interior Minister of Turkey was Ali Kemal Bey,who had established the Anglophile Society,advocating that Turkey become a British protectorate like Kuwait,Qatar andJohor were at that time.He was hopelessly on the wrong side of history!1/
...When Atatürk completed the reconquest of Turkey from the British, French, Italian, Greek and Armenian control in November 1922, Atatürk’s colleague, General Nureddin, had Ali Kemal captured; he was then lynched and hanged from a tree...2/

BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

I'm trying to count the ways it's going to go wrong when the Tories get their new leader.
They got elected promising something they can't do.
They promise something to the Conservative party, the country doesn't get a say in it, and it immediately fails anyway.
I can't see they can do anything but resign or call a general election.
You can't become prime minister on a new policy that the country didn't vote for, and then as soon as that goes wrong pull something new out your arse and carry on like you own it.

I make no excuses for the young man who smoked opium at a wedding in Afghanistan, which is, after all, the world’s primary source of opium. However, I have some sympathy for the predicament in which he found himself. /2

2/ His lack of courage, or confidence, to say no to his hosts, is probably like the teenage daughter of teetotal parents who is offered the wine of the French vineyard she’s been sent to as an exchange student and opts to taste it in order not to offend her hosts. /3
3/ It’s the nature of the human condition that as we grow up we establish our own values, acceptable levels of compromise – our own integrity and moral courage. We make mistakes along the way, do things we later regret, and decide whether or not to make them public. /4
