They'll be pleased with this, the abysmal bastards.
I presume his reasons were as in the letter, because it had become impossible to do the job rather than something more sinister.
But this is a profound national humiliation.
A leak clearly intended to get rid of Darroch. A president who then attacks the UK in the most disrespectful language imaginable. A man about to become PM unwilling to stand up to him. And now this. Doing what we're told when abused.
This is the sovereignty they sold us: total subservience to Washington.

Debate starts on MPs attempt to prevent Johnson proroguing parliament. Follow here parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/32…
Not going to comment on this live - neck deep in work - but will report votes.
The basics are that if PM Johnson tries to prorogue parliament, the amendment would allow the House to sit to debate motions. Blocks off his strategy to try and cancel parliament, gives MPs a mechanism to stop no-deal.

Watch this. Know your enemy.
What do people think? That you can just get rid of liberalism a little bit and it'll stop there?
Liberalism protects minorities, secures individual rights, rejects exclusive group identity. Once you start chiselling away at it, this is what you get.

Cheers Theresa. This citizen of nowhere who tried to 'subvert' the 'will of the people' will take careful note of your very important message.
I've no doubt that the wise elder states-person role is a very attractive one to a departing PM. But you can't just flick from Terminator to Yoda. No-one's buying that shit.
Theresa May did not fail because she offered compromise. She failed because she limited her options in future in order to minimise trouble in the present. It was a highly irrational strategy which eventually reduced the alternatives to zero.

THE SUMMER OF DOOMGUY
@authcomdoomguy
With the news of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest and the probable implication of many other rich and powerful Americans, I’m reminded of why I’ve always found the decades of these rumors completely believable—the “Dutroux incident” in Belgium.
Marc Dutroux is a career criminal, multiple murderer, and serial rapist/pedophile who was convicted of abducting and sexually assaulting several young girls in the 1980s, but was released after only 3 years in prison.
He went on to reoffend almost immediately, keeping captured teenagers in his basement until they starved to death and even killing one of his own business associates.

1) question: how much do you really know about Walt Disney?

“If the world only had the eyes to see the fibers which lay under the surface of Walt Disney’s image, they’d tar and feather him, and drag him through the streets. If only they knew Disney’s primary goals."

let's see!
2) while widely researched, Walts birth (12/05/01) is still shrouded in secrecy due to the lack of a birth certificate or DNA testing. it's almost certain that he (and brother Roy) was a bastard child. one of his many dark secrets used to blackmail him throughout his career
3) growing up in an abusive home environment, he fell in love with animation, nature and children. he seemed to have an intuitive ability to bring his dark experiences to light in cartoons that appealed to children. just check out some of the earliest Disney comic strips. normal?

this is 100% @Tic_ally 's fault but the chatter in the hannor server turned into Exorcist AU shit and my last fandom grabbed me by the throat and slam dunked me in this idea but CONSIDER...
Hank, a lapsed Catholic, loses his son in his early 30s, then his wife leaves him, he loses his job at the DPD because of his day-drinking habit and he thinks he's got nothing left to lose so he may as well dedicate his life to something that can't abandon him
So he joins the priesthood, and almost right out of seminary he gets noticed by the Vatican because he used to be a damn good cop back in the day and a lot of those skills would make him a damn fine exorcist.

So @PennyMordaunt has put together an LGBT advisory board for @WomenEqualities to help shape policy that will have a huge impact on us all. I've been thinking of some points of discussion for their first meeting. If you have any further items add them below.
In case you weren't aware, the advisory board is not very diverse, and all but 3 of these people have been pushing for Self ID and the erasure of women's spaces currently protected by law.
Item 1) Pushed by Stonewall, there's been a conflation of sex with gender, and language that doesn't even directly challenge this has been deemed hateful to the stage where people are being cautioned by police. How can we stop this?

1. Is race really a social construct? If the notion of race is abolished, what are the implications? Who benefits? Who doesn't? Let us consider...
2. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find evidence that race exists - it's diligently scrubbed from Wiki, buried in Google's search results, and omitted from textbooks. The defintion of "race" has even been quietly removed from the dictionary. Do you disagree? Too bad.
3. Those that claim race is a social construct typically argue that there is no chromosomal marker for skin color like there is for male (XY) or female (XX) sex determination. And the fact that humans share 99% of their DNA leaves little room for genetic variation.

We are dying younger, in part, because of deliberate policy choices made over decades:
• Rejecting universal health care.
• Cutting taxes for the rich.
• Shunning income support.
• Abandoning universal child care.

Those choices increasingly set us apart in the world. #SDoH
