Wow, Boris Johnson lasted barely 4 Scaramuccis before losing his majority. Sad!
If you are as confused as I am about British politics and where Brexit stands, this helps, kinda:

Brexit and 'no-deal': What just happened in the UK Parliament?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Just today Boris Johnson went from a working parliamentary majority of +1 to -43 and unserimoniously booted the longest serving member of parliament (49 year) from his party. What does this mean? No one seems to really know. But not a great day for Boris.
I already posted a Brexit/Boris Johnson explainer from the BBC this one from AP has less "WTF does that mean?" moments:

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson suffers a big defeat in Parliament as rebels seize control of the Brexit agenda. apne.ws/E2JDLnP
The only real color commentary I can provide about what's going on in the UK right now with Brexit and Boris Johnson, when I can cut through my utter confusion, is:

"Drama!"

Sen. @ewarren: "We can't just think from the Canadian border down to the border with Mexico, we have to think about the whole world." #ClimateTownHall
.@ewarren:"By 2028, we don't have any more new building that has any carbon footprint. By 2030, we do the same thing on vehicles, on our cars and light duty trucks. And by 2035, we do the same thing with electric generation. That'll cut 70% of the carbon."

Does he know that we know what sharpie looks like? Please someone tell me that the president is not so deranged that he thinks he has us fooled just because he posted a second chart. He clearly just drew on the first chart.
This is so absurd. Even if the president isn't going to actually do his job he can at least make it so his staff can run the country instead of spending timr covering up his stupid and petty fake news to nurse his narcissistic ego.

Congress, your move.

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

Perché la #Brexit si è oramai avviata verso una possibile catastrofe, perché oramai i due scenari più probabili sono quelli più estremi possibili e perché non bisogna credere alle parole “caute” (secondo alcuni) di Boris Johnson - perché non erano caute. THREAD (IN ITALIAN) 🇬🇧🇪🇺
1. Oggi è stato un giorno importante, anche se passato sotto traccia: prima di tutto, Boris Johnson ha finalmente lanciato la sua campagna per diventare leader dei conservatori e premier. Il suo discorso è stato estremamente importante. E rivelatore. 🇪🇺🇬🇧 #Brexit
2. Innanzitutto: non credete a coloro che dicono oggi “Johnson ha messo il No Deal” (l’uscita del Regno Unito senza accordo dall’Ue, potenzialmente catastrofica, ndr) “all’ultimo posto”. Non è vero. O meglio, non corrisponde a quello che accadrà. Vi spiego perché. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 #Brexit
